London, Sept. 23.
The wording of the Italian communique, coupled with the Italian Government's subsequent criticism of the League plan, is regarded as a favourable sign by the London morning newspapers.
Signor Mussolini's minimum demands, according to
the Daily Telegraph, include:
(1) More territory than promised Italy;
(2) Any outlet to the sea for Ethiopia must be
through Eritrea;
(3) The Ethiopian Army must be disarmed, and
Italy entrusted with its reorganisation; (4) Sufficient territory must be ceded by Ethiopia
to join Eritrea and Italian Somaliland.
OTHER VIEWS
The Times says the only new and most welcome feature of the Italian
communique is that it seems nu longer to dispute the right of the Lengue to strive for a peaceful two of its settlement between members, and there are also other indications that the door to peace is not finally closed.
The Daily Herald also declares that the door-to-still-open-for- negotiations, but if Italy believes that a week's threatening bluster, followed by an eleventh-hour offer to bargain, will induce the Com- mitice, the Council or the Lengue to compromise in principle, or to make an offer better than the one

Geneva, Sept. 22.
Great importance is attached here to the long con- versations between Baron Aloisi and Senor de Madariaga, the Chairman of the Committee of Five of the League of Nations, which has been attempting to reach a formula, for the settlement of the Italo- Ethiopian dispute..
During the consultation it is understood that Baron Aloisi received a communication from the Italian Gov- ernment, of which Senor Madariaga took note, and which he later circulated to his colleagues on the League Committee.

It is gathered that the Italian communication dealt with various points of the Committee's proposals, show- ing where these were considered inadequate and where Italy considered them objectionable.
