BOMBING SQUADRON TO TAKE PUNITIVE MEASURES

Rome, To-day.

The ambushing of three Italian planes on Tuesday is officially confirmed. A communique states that the three planes from Addis Ababa, carrying a mission composed of General Vincenzo Magliocco of the Air Force, Colonel Mario Cal- derini (one of the best known colonial officers), Major Antonio Locatelli, Engineer Frasso and Father Borello of the Consolata Mission, landed at Lekemti.

The mission was later attacked by bandits and only Father Borello escaped. Altogether 30 Italian soldiers were killed in the ambush, all of whom were conveyed by the three big bombers. In addition to air reprisals a mechanised enlumn of 100 lor- ries has been despatched from Addis Ababa. — Reuter.

AMENDMENT BY PAUL-BONCOUR

Montreux, To-day.

M. Litvinoff (USSR) has been instructed to leave the Straits Conference unless he receives satisfaction on certain points, including complete liberty of access to and egress from the Black Sea.

This serious development is the outcome of the divergence of views manifest from the start between the British and Soviet standpoints. The Russians contend that the British attitude hither- to has been obstructive. M. Litvinoff and Lord Stanley (Great Britain) were to confer at 4 p.m. yesterday.

In the morning the British submitted a new draft for Article XVI modifying the previous draft and empowering Turkey to close the Straits to all belligerent fleets if she considers her se- curity menaced, and also prohibiting passage through the Straits of all belligerent warships in wartime if none of the riparian States is a belligerent.

The Soviet submitted a comter-amendment forbidding the transit of all belligerent warships except when carrying out League Covenant obligations.

Neither of these proposals was adopted, and the Russians Felzim that the zinentment, constiinted -antimportant concession,
