ITALY ATTENDING

Rome, July 29. Italy will attend the extraordin- ary session of the League Council on Wednesday. So much is certain with the departure of the Italian. delegates on Monday evening for Geneva, but what attitude she will take up there still remains to be decided.

According to well-informed cir- cles here it is said that this will depend on the League debate which, according to an official ita- llan standpoint, ought to be con- fined' merely to determining fur-] ther conciliation. Italian interests

at all events will be well represent- ed by a formidable array of jur- ists and other experts among whom the ministers Marchi and

Lord Londonderry said "there had been no change in the policy of His Majesty's Government, who so far as they were concerned. would gladly see a continuation of the system of limitation embodied in the Washington Treaty, but in: order to avoid a race in naval armaments after the naval treatles come to an end in 1938, account had to be taken of the desires and susceptibilities of countries hold- ing other views.
