LEAGUE SURRENDER OUTRAGES SMALL POWERS

RESENT DICTATION OF BIG NATIONS
COUNCIL TO BECOME RUBBER STAMP?

Geneva, Aug. 5.
The small nations, comprising the bulk of the League of Nations membership, are outraged at the Italo-Ethiopian compromise arrangement, which is privately termed a weak surrender, dictated by the British, French and Italian influence, instead of by the League as a whole.
It is indicated that unless the issue is settled before the League Assembly meets on September 9, the small nations will force the issue, insisting upon a declara- tion as to whether the League is to become a real League of Nations or a rubber stamp approving the decisions of the major powers.
The South American, Eastern European and Scandinavian representatives are inclined to demand that the League assert its authority to prevent Italy declaring war, regardless of the consequences to the League's future.--United Press.
Addis Ababa,, August 5. Publication of the League of Nations compromise resolution, the continuing the session of Arbitration Commission in an at- tempt to find a solution of the Italo-Abyssinian"dispute," has only served to deepen the general de- pression caused here by earlier reports of proceedings.
It is pointed out that during the intervening weeks, between the present moment and the date on which arbitration must be concluded, Italy can press on with her war preparations.
Abyssinia is worried over the absence of an Italian declaration! tha she won't resort to force before the arbitration proceedings are at an end, a high Government official declares.
Every day that passes without such a definite declaration enabled, the Italians the botter to prepare the way for their much-heralded offensive against Abyssinia; he said. -"Meanwhile,” the spokesman went on, wo loyally accept the League's proposals. But we are boginning, to wonder whether the advocacy of the League is so great a benent as it has been made out to
be,"

Washington, Aug. 5.
The Japanese Ambassador, Mr. Saito, has made representations to the State Department regarding the cartoon which appeared in a recent issue of Vanity Fair, depicting the Japanese Emperor pulling a gun- carriage on which was mounted a scroll of the Nobel Peace Prize under the caption, "Unlikely Historical Situations."
"The Ambassador declared that the cartoon was derogatory to the Emperor and to the Japanese people, and the Japanese people felt the insult keenly.
Replying to the Japanese protest, Mr. Cordell Hull, the Secretary of State, said he regretted the incident but pointed out that the Government exercised ng censorship upon the press and was in no way respon- sible for anything published.
