Geneva, May 23 Diplomatic negotiations, which have been going on here in con- nection with the Italo-Abyssinian dispute were still in a state of deadlock since Italy 13 persisting in her unyielding attitude.

Urgent Completion,Stressed

(Special to "Hong Kong Dalis Pres5")

The Italian delegation consent ed to recognise the two foreign jurists appointed by Abyssinia a her representatives on the Com- mission of Conciliation, but they announced that, they will not go beyond this concession.

The Abyssinian delegates now present "here" have so far not taken part in the negotiations, it being evidently taken for granted that Abyssinia will cot raise any difficulties In case Italy can be prevalled upon to acquiesce in case the dispute should be brought before the League forum.- Transorean Kuo Min.

It is generally assumed that the Duce will also deal at some length with the Abyssinian dis-

pute.

a more concatery attitude to- ward Abyssinia is beginning to create certain uneasiness in poll- tical circles here.- Tranibrean Kus Min.
