ITALY AND ABYSSINIA I SITUATION COMPLICATED j JAPANESE TRADE CONCESSION. LONDON, July 4. The Chronicle’s Rome correspondent says that relations between Italy and Abyssiania are strained almost to breaking point owing to Abyssinia’s refusal to abide by the terms of the convention granting Italy the same economic commercial concessions as others, principally Japan, which recently acquired a vast cotton concession. The situation is further complicated by Abyssinia demanding promised trading facilities through Poit Assab in the Italian possession of Eritrea. Warlike preparations are in progress and the warrior tribesmen are being assisted in training and equipment by business people from Abyssinia. Signor Mussolini has frequently declared that the Japanese menace to i the Italian trade in Abyssinia will be [ fiercely resisted.
