GENEVA, Oct. 20.
A canvas of delegates to the League of Nations Council and Assembly on the question: "Will sanctions work as proposed?" has resulted in an expression of the opinion by some diplomatists that Signor Mussolini's Fascist regime will collapse as a result, and that the Italian East African adventure will also fail.
They believe that Geneva's three-fold economic and financial "war" will mean the undoing of Il Duce.
Most delegates believe that the penalties machinery completed on Saturday will operate in gradual- ly growing force over a period of some weeks. They will eventually strangle Italy, it is felt, both economically and financially.
Economista agree, however, that the impact of the League's blowa will not be felt in Italy imme- diately, owing to the highly in- dustrialised state of the nation.
The effect of the sanctions will also be delayed, in all prob- ability, duc to the refusal of Austria, Hungary, Albania, and to a certain extent, Switzerland, to join in the penalties.
There is a probability that Italy may be able to obtain necessary supplies of steel, aluminium. oil, copper, and chemicals from Germany, the United States and Japan, which may protract the test.
It is conceded that the League's trump card consists of the British control of the Suez Canal, the closing of which would effectively block the Red Sea to Italian ship-i ping.--United Press.

FIERCE OPPOSITION ANTICIPATED
MUSSOLINI EXPECTED TO VISIT FRONT
Asmara, Oct. 20. Everything appears to be in readiness-for the in- dicated Italian advance towards Makale, but there is good reason to believe, also, that the attack, when it comes, will be met with determined opposition. Makale will not fall without a battle.
Reconnaissance planes of the Italian Army in the north, under the command of General de Bono, report that the troops marching under the Ethiopian chief- tain, Ras Kassa, are moving up in considerable numbers. from the south-west, apparently heading for Makale.
As they move, more men occupy the positions they are vacating.

Meanwhile, in preparation for their assault, the Italians are gradually occupying the strategic positions in the mountains around Adigrat.
