The Italo-Abyssinian Commission has de- cided that no responsibility of any kind, either moral or pecuniary, attaches either to Italy or Ethiopia in the Ual Ual incident or subsequent events.

It is understood that the Arbitration Commission's un- expectedly conciliatory and non-committal decision was reached because the arbitrators reasoned that the League Council's deci-
