ITALY MAY LEAVE LEAGUE
Rome Nov. 19.
Strong suggestions that Italy might withdraw from the League of Nations were published to-day In three Italian newspapers, In- cluding Premier Mussolinis Popolo o'ltalla.
The papers said editorially that the Fascial grand council would be convoked Deq 5 to examine Italy's relations with the League in view of the departure of Japan and Germany and the fact that the Unit ed States and Soviet Russia ага nonmembers."
Of the three Popolo d'Italia did not mention the League by name and said the grand council would discuss Mussolini's recent refar- ences to the International situation. Popolo declared that the League had lost its effectiveness and that its "very principle is absurd.”
Other articles were in the Cor- rier della Sera of Milan and the Gazette del Popolo of Turin, which are closest to Geneva. They ter- minated a three weeks journalistle campaign against the League which carried more significance than in a democratic country because of
the government's control of the press.

The Italian press has charged that the League le ridden with in- trigue and is incapable of making and enforcing a vital decision. In some quarters, however, the cam- paign was regarded as an effort to shift the disarmament negotiations to Rome rather than as
a direct threat for Italy to quit the League. -A. P.
