London, Sept. 17. Some nurprise has been caused in London by statements emanat Ing from Rome to the effect that an Invitation addressed early this year to the British Government by the Italian through its Ambassador, to discuss thelr reciprocal interests in Abyssinia was met with dilatory and evasive procedure.
The facts aro that His Majesty's Government nt once began a thorough examination, of the question, but this necessitated consultation with a number of colonial administrations and was buind to require time. Menn- while the dispute between Italy und Ethiopin took a more serious turn and considerations based on British obligations towards the League of Nations on the necessity of maintaining League authority and on the European situation generally became more urgent than those connected with the particular interests in Africa. This was made clear by Mr. Edon when he visited Signor Mussolini in Rome,
the British Government had been unable to proceed with a precise definition of the British interests in Abyssinia ns suggest- ed by Italy, it is because the situation has arisen in which broader Interests of collective security must take precedence-a situation which was not to be anticipated when the question was first raised and which has follow ed on the evident determination of the Italian Government to adopt a policy in Abyssinia of an un foreseen and far-reaching charae- ter-British Wireless.

This move follows the French attempt to obtain ten per cent. cut in all League contributions, on the ground that France, like many other countries, is obliged to make a rigorous ten per cent. cut in publle services.
