London, July 2 Mr. Eden, Minister for League of Nations Affalis, in reply to a quea- tion by Mr Lansbury, made the following statement in the House of Commons yesterday on his visit to Rome and Paris:
The object of the visit which, on the fistructions of his Majesty's Government. I recently made to Paris, was two-fold.

a final settlement of the dispute between Italy and Abyssinia. His Majesty's Government would be prepared to offer to Abyssinia à strip of territory in British Somall- land giving access to the sea.

solution of the dispute.
This proposal was intended to In each one of its annual issues,

Cabled news received by the Japanese Consulate early yester- day morning stated that Ano had left Hanol at 10.30 am and he was therefore expected to land at Kal Tack at 5 pm, in the after ncon.
A goodly crowd of interested spectators and well-wishers of the courageous airman assembled at the aerodrome to greet him, but were keenly disappointed with his non-arrival,
Enquiries at the Japanese · Con- sulate elicited no further informa- tion, the "Dally Press being in- formed that no cable as to the aliman's whereabouts had been received.
No alarm is being felt for the safety of the lone Japanese trail-
