Berne, To-day.

The final session of the Italo-Abyssinian conciliation commission was held yesterday.

An official communique published in the afternoon states: The Italo-Abyssinian Conciliation Commission heard the Italian and Abyssinian representatives statements and deductions, and after addressing some questions at the witnesses previous- ly heard. decided to adjourn the session and refer the questions to the Commission's members for further discussion.

"The 'statements of the Italian native soldiers have been of great importance in the reconstructing of the Ual Ual episode,” stated one member of the Commission to pressmen. He added. that the Abyssinians had not themselves invited witnesses.

A definite agreement was nevertheless still difficult, and it will probably be necessary to clear up some questions per taining to sovereignty without, however, touching on the ques- tion as to which nation the district belonged

It seemed very unlikely that SPANISH the Italian and Abyssinian ar- bitrators would reach

an

Jagreement. and it would be

certainly necessary to call in a fifth arbitrator, the

“If sanctions are voted against-Italy at Geneva she will immediately leave the League, and whoever applies sanctions against Italy will be met by Italy's armed hostility, declared Signor Mussolini in an authoritative statement of his views to the special correspondent Mr. Ward Price, whose article is published in to day's "Daily Mail.”

The Duce conti d: "If the League ex- panded a remote colonial campaign into a gen- eral European war, which would open wide the door to every unsatisfied ambition on the Con-
