VIOLENT DENUNCIATIONS BY SIGNOB GAYDA. HEARING OF HAILE SELASSIE RESENTED. ..r. • HOME, July 2. It is a disgrace that Geneva has listened to Haile Selassie’s insults to Italy, says Signor Gayda in a violent article in the “Giornale d’ltalia” in which h® stigmatises Haile Selassie as a ribald sadist who abandoned his capital to plunderers, with an invitation to destroy regardless of white men who are their friends.” Signor Gayda claims that the Italian march on Addis Ababa saved the white inhabitants, though the march was not covered by Italian defence, as was proved by the assault on an Italian column on May 13 which had resulted in many Italian soldiers being killed and wounded. He concludes that atter the Emperor's speech the generosity and haste of the Italian march must be regretted. EJECTED JOURNALISTS REPORTING AT LONG RANGE. RUGBY, July 2. rhe Italian journalists who were forcibly removed from the League building to police cells because of their interjections when the Emperor of Ethiopia rose to address the Assembly were to-day expelled from the canton of Geneva. Some are returning to Italy and others are attempting to report the League proceedings from Goppee, eight miles away over the border. Not only did the eight journalists concerned have their League cards taken away but also their cards tor the Dardanelles conference at Montreux.—(British Official Wireless.)
