ITALIAN INTENTIONS

IN ABYSSINIA

London Press Views On

The Situation

London. July 8.

4 Duce's speech at Salerno In which he announced that the Italian Government and the people have irrevocably decided to carry the struggle on which they have entered to its conclusion is regarded here as leaving no room for doubt that Il Duce intends to establish mastery över Abyssinia. though, 'as the "Times" remarks, It is so far not known whether Signor Mussolini plans to establish a protectorate over the low-lying territory adjacent to Eritrea and Italian Somaliland" or cherishes the more ambitions project of Imposing Italian rule over Addis Ababa itself.

In the meanwhile the Secretary General of the League of Nations, M. s. Joseph Avendi, arrives in London to-day primarily to make his acquaintance with Sir Samuel Hoare, the new Foreign Secretary, but inevitably to review the whole Italo-Abyssinian question and de- termine whether a possible collec- tive system under the League can be applied in the present case.

The Franco-British consultations on the subject in Paris reached a most important stage, but their trend is not known.

French observers maintain that European stability takes precedence over the African question and the best way to obtain a speedy end to the dispute is to help Duce to arrive at a settlement, perhaps without the use of force, in I Duce's own good time.- Reuter.
