HOARE'S SPEECH INTERPRETED AS ULTIMATUM
BRITAIN MIGHT QUIT LEAGUE
INSISTS ON DEFENCE OF COVENANT
"GET ON OR WE GET OUT" SPOKESMAN WARNS
Sir Samuel Hoare, the British Foreign Minister, has delivered what is considered an ultimatum to the League of Nations. He has stated, in effect, that un- less the League is prepared to take a strong stand and the members will unanimously back the Covenant, Great Britain will cut herself adrift from the Con- tinent's polities.
Some see in the British policy a challenge to Italy, and the German view is that, in spite of its moderate form, it makes the rift between Italy and England so deep that even the greatest optimist can entertain no illusions regarding the directness of British opposition.
Speaking before the League of Nations Assembly yesterday, Sir Samuel Hoare, Foreign Minister, declared Britain's determination to stand by the principles of the League Covenant. Picture shows the Assembly in session.
In Geneva the speech is interpreted as an unmis-Advantages
takable warning to France and the League to "get on or-we get out.' M. Pierre Laval, the French Prime Minister, will probably reply to Sir Samuel on Friday and will then make clear, for the first time in public, what France is prepared to do in backing Britain and the Covenant. But Italy will make no rejoinder, since she feels that the League is finished with the Ethiopian dispute.
VARIOUS INTERPRETATIONS

Geneva, Sept. 11. Sir Samuel Hoare's speech the League Assembly is variously interpreted in Europe, but it is generally conceded that it is n challenge. It is considered that the British Foreign Minister, be sides making a definite break with Italy, has said to the League of Nations, in effect, that unless that body takes some strong and effec- tive action in the present crisis Britain will cut herself adrift from European affairs.

ALLISON BEATS FRED PERRY
ENGLISHMAN HURT IN FALL
DOCTORS ADVISE REST BUT GAME GOES ON
New York, Sept. 11.
Wilmer L. Allison, America's top ranking tennis player, who was sensationally defeated by Vivian Mc- Grath in the recent Wimbledon championships, has re- established himself as one of the world's leading players by eliminating Fred Perry in straight sets in the semi- final round of the United States championship at Forest Hills,
Perry's defeat, however, was due largely, if not entirely, to a fall which he sustained during the first set. He was beaten 7-5, 6-3, 6-3.
Perry, who won the title for the last two years, was out to create a record by becoming the first foreigner to secure the American crown three years in succession.
