WILL REMAIN
IN ASSEMBLY Italians Talking of Quitting League
MOMENTOUS DECISION
TAKEN AT GENEVA
Geneva, Sept. 23. It is reliably learned that, the Credentials Com- mittee of the League of Nations Assembly has decided. that in the circumstances there can be no point in appealing to the Hague Court for a ruling, regarding the validity of Ethiopia's credentials, since it is learned, in any case, that the Ethiopians would continue to sit in the Assembly. A ruling would merely complicate the issue. It is therefore believed the Credentials Committee will simply recommend that the delegation continue to sit and enjoy the rights of membership.
The decision of the Committee applies only to the present session and in no way prejudices future action. It was decided not to appeal to the Hague Court since no decision could be reached before the Assembly rose. -Reuter.
CONFIRMATION
Geneva, Sept. 23. Leaving the meeting of the Credentials Committee this afternoon, the Greek delegate, M. Nicolas Politis, said the Ethiopians would enjoy the benefit of the doubt and continue to sit in Assembly. There would be no recourse to the Hague Court, he added.
Italian quarters are very excited | at the decision, which amounts to validation of the Ethiopian creden- tials. They talk openly of leaving the League-Reuter.
