QUESTIONS IN COMMONS

London, To-day.

The insistent curiosity of the members of the House of Commons about Mr. Anthony Eden's proposal to Signor Mussolini to cede Bri- tish territory to Abyssinia accounted for a large number of questions yesterday.

At the outset an unsuccessful effort was made to draw Sir Samuel Hoare with regard to what he will say at next Thurs-i day's debate on the Italian demand. but he informed Lt- Colonel G. J.

These powers were now exercised under the Somaliland Order-in-Council, 1929.. The Tribes would have been consulted with a view to the transfer-
