EVENTS DEPENDENT ON ETHIOPIA & LEAGUE CLASH WITH BRITAIN ABSURD

London, To-day.

A candid expose of Italy's attitude was made by Signor Mussolini in an interview with the Rome correspondent of the "Morning Post" He expressed the utmost incredulity that there could be such an absurd happening as a conflict be- tween Italy and Britain, who had been friends for centuries.

Questioned as to why Italy did not present her case earlier, the Duce replied that on the con- trary, the Italian Government invited Britain to consider agreements for a harmonious develop- ment of the British and Italian interests in Ethio- pia Signor Mussolini was ready to table a case, at the Foreign Office answered evasively. "There was only one way left, and I took it," he said.

Italy renewed her approaches on May 1, after Stresa "Even that overture led to inconclusive conversations."

Signor Mussolim is not impressed by the offers of the dis- tribution of war material or land concessions, as the matter is one of the remote future. He did not expect that anybody would hand over a part of their dominions or colonial possessions.

"So far the preparations in East Africa have cast Italy 2:090,006,000. De som Fhink we kase-done that for a joke? No. We shall march on 6 tab late to fell me to stop.. Portugal, Belgium and Holland have fruitful colonies": Why shouldn't. Italy
