Rome, To-day.

It was emphatically stated in well-informed quarters here yesterday that no formal steps with the object of bringing about the withdrawal of the British and French troops stationed in Ad- dis Ababa for the purpose of protecting the res- pective Legations, have been taken. It is how- ever, added that the withdrawal of these troops;

would, in the Italian opinion, only be logical, since the present conditions in Abyssinia no longer

justify their presence.

It is not impossible that such suggestions have been inform- ally made. Interpretations and conjectures which have been made on the part of the foreign press as to the conversation be tween the Italian, Ambassador. Signor Grandi, and the Under- Secretary of State. Sir Robert Vansittart, are, however, denied in responsible quarters.
