FEARED ITALIANS MAY QUIT GENEVA
Geneva, Sept. 10. Complete deadlock has resulted from the unyield- ing attitude of Baron Aloisi, spokesman for the Italian Government. The League's special Committee of Five has decided not to continue it work of exploration, but will await the report of its sub-committee on the Italian memorandum with respect to alleged violations of treaties and pledges and frontiers by the Ethiopian people.
Unless something unexpected happens, the Com- mittee will meet again on Thursday and draw up a re- port for the Council, with the suggestions of the Com- mittee members, which looks suspiciously like "recom- mendations" provided under Article XV of the League Covenant.
By this article, which deals with disputes hetween members of the League, the Council is empowered to judge between them and to bind them to its unanimous, will.

LEITH-ROSS TALKS WITH HIROTA
ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE
FOR CHINA
Tokyo, Sept. 10. Sir Frederick Leith-Ross, head of the British economic mission to China, and Sir Robert Clive, British Minister to Japan, had a two-hour interview with Mr. Hirota, Foreign Minister, and Mr. Shigemitsu Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs, to-day. It is under- stood that they exchanged frank views and information with regard to Chinese economic conditions and Chi- nese currency problems.
Sir Frederick Leith-Ross pointed out that the British Government desired first-hand information on the many and diverse reports on these subjects, and he is reported to have stressed the point that he is not empowered to conduct any negotiations for economic assistance to China. The British Government, he said, desired to keep in close touch with the Japanese Govern- ment concerning economic rehabilitation.
Mr. Hirota is reported to have assured Sir Frederick that Japan is ready to do her utmost in co- operation with the British Government in connection with the proposed Chinese economic rehabilitation, if Britain approaches Japan with a concrete plan based on Sir Frederick's coming survey.
