League circles are worried, believing that if neutral observers are to be sent to Ethiopia to determine which side is responsible for the outbreak of hostilities there is no time to be lost. Ethiopia declares that although

ITALIAN CLAIM MISLEADING
BRITISH ATTITUDE
MISREPRESENTED
LONDON POLICY LONG KNOWN IN ROME
Geneva, Sept. 29. British quarters here declare that the British attitude, as represented throughout the Italian com- munique issued yesterday, is completely misleading.
"There is not the slightest justification for any doubt with regard to our attitude as a member of the League, which we have repeatedly indicated to Italy," 'say representative British spokesmen here.
For example, Sir Eric Drummond, as early as February 28, conveyed to Rome the serious British concern as to the effect which methods of violence or an invasion of Ethiopia would have on public opinion.
