ITALY DEMANDS VICTORY

ABYSSINIANS MUST BE COMPLETELY CRUSHED

STATEMENT BY MUSSOLINI

Australian and N.Z Cable. LONDON, April S

While the Committee of Thirteen was meeting at Geneva, the Italian Cabinet assembled unexpectedly to hear Signor Mussolini review the African and European situations. The British United Press Romo correspondent says that after the Cabinet meeting it was learned that Signor Mussolini told the Ministers that the Abyssinian armies must bo completely crushed without delay in order to assure security for the Italian colonies.

He lauded the Ashangi victory because it was gained at the expense of the Emperor’s specially trained guards and likewise paid a tribute to the Italians’ determined resistance to the effects of sanctions.
