ABYSSINIA'S PROTEST SENT TO GENEVA
Geneva, May 20.
A strong complaint against Italy is contained in a telegram received by the League of Nations Council to- day from the Emperor of Abyssinia.
This message will be read to the Council when the Italo-Abyssinian dispute is aired at its session in the course of the next few days.
The Emperor of Abyssinia claims that Italy, since the incident at Ualual when Italian colonial troops and Abyssinian tribesmen clashed with loss of life on both sides, had employed every diplomatic effort to evade her international obligations and to prevent an impar- tial examination of the differences between the two countries.
The Ethiopian Government asks that the League Council should take immediate steps to ensure
the exucution of the League of Nations Covenant and prevent Italy's milltary preparations which are fately described is de- fensive.

Berlin, May 20.
A great European conference for the purpose of concluding a convention and stabilising the peace of Europe, may be proposed by Chancellor Adolf Hitler in his speech to-morrow before the Reichstag, in which he will outline Germany's foreign policy. This is the prediction of well-informed political quarters.
The Chancellor's speech is awaited in every European capital with a tense expectancy, and it is be- lieved that the great Powers have conveyed to Herr Hitler the fact that they will not be satisfied with any- thing less than a constructive contribution to the peace
