ITALIAN DEPUTIES APPROVE DECREES
GERMAN AND JAPANESE AMBASSADORS ATTEND
Rome, May 14.
The Chamber of Deputies to-day unanimously passed the decrees for the annexation of Ethiopia. The decision was taken by ballot.
The Prime Minister, Signor Benito Mussolini, made no speech when presenting the decrees.
The Ambassadors of Germany and Japan, and the Ministers of Austria and Hungary were present when the Chamber voted, watching proceedings from the diplomatic gallery.
The decrees include a declaration of Italy's full
sovereignty in Ethiopia, the assumption of the title of Emperor of Ethiopia by King Victor Emmanuel, and the appointment of Marshal Pietro Badoglio, conqueror, of the country, as Viceroy.
Signor Carlo Delcroix, apporteur of the Chamber, stated that Marshal Badoglio would be invested with full powers for overning Ethiopia until regulations were ready for the future reorganisation of the new dominion.
It was folly, he said, to raise the Ethiopian conflict into a world ques- tion and nothing was more absurd than to try to resurrect a state which hnd ceased to exist.
The old world, the rapporteur went on, was too sgilated by the real pro- bleas to allow itself the luxury of evoking phantoms,
Three hundred and eight deputies voted for the decrees, and pone against.
It was deelded that a bronze pinque be erected in the Chamber bearing the inscription "On the ninth day of May of the fourteenth year of the Fascist ern, Benito Mussolini founded the empire."-Renter.
