Rome, Sept. 27. Italy's preparations for the East Africa Campaign have now beer. almost completed. The famous 14th. Infantry Regiment O the Gransasso Division, com- prising 71 officers and two thou- sand men left Naples on Friday on board the steamer, "Sannis" after having been reviewed by the Crown Prince.

Sixty officers and five hundred men of the machine gun detach- ment will follow on board the steamer "Aventino" while another transport vessel with four thou sand men on beard is scheduled to sul on Saurday.

The embarkation of the mobi- Ushed divisions will thereby ce nearly concluded.

REPLY TO NEGUS

Geneva, Sept. 27. The text to the League Council Committee's reply to the telegram sent by Negus which now has been published reads "The Coun- cil Committee noted your Majesty's decision to withdraw. Abyssinian troops thirty kilometres from the frontier and appreciates the spirit in which this decision has been made.

The committee is devoting their greatest attention to the request for a despatch of impartial o3- 'servers, and at present are ex- amining the question whether actual circumstances wou'd per- mit observers to fulfill their duties." frumsación. Bu Mam

a conference' was held to consider

a scheme of compulsory interna- tional rationalisation that had be- fore been any thought possible by men who were deemed the wildest Idealists. Briefly, the scheme was to establish a financial pool raised

by a levy on the tonnage of coun- tries participating in the scheme and out of it to pay compensa- tion for a large number of ships that were to be laid up on 10 agreed basis. A similar'scheme had been established for tankers in the summer of 1934. This, the Schler- water plan. was commended by Mr. Runciman as "an admirable t- tempt at rationalisation," and its success bsa given especial encour

to the more ambitious agement scheme for the compulsory laying up of an agreed proportion of all mercantile tonnage,"

SOME OBSTACLES Nevertheless, it has been gener- ally recognised that there are some substantial obstacles to the com- pulsory scheme, "and for this rea- son the British plan will receive careful study. The two biggest obstacles are that in most countries legislation would be needed for the levy, on tonnage (if only to coerce a recalcitrant minority), and that when the question of compensation arises liners as distinct from tramp steamers a ways provide a COILTM plication: The British, organisa- tions therefore propose to eliminate. The "Liberal Star" claims autho-the financial pool and to substitute rity for stating that Mr. Anthony an International agreement among Eden had recently been compelled the members c. the conference to during his stay in Geneva to lay up redundant tonnage.

which had almost succeeded in

Geneva, Sept. 27. The presidium of the League of Nations Assembly resolved on Friday afternoon to introduce a notion in Saturday's sitting of the Assembly - which morally would have been a final one of the present sessions-instead of dis- solving. so that they may assemble theoretically in the same session If necessity should arise. thus avoiding the protracted for malities required for the calling of n special meeting.

in the course of a short debate preceding this decision, the Italian delegate raised objections against the proposed proceeding which in his opinion was calculated to exert pressure on the activities of the League Council.

The new Committee of Thirteen composed of all members of the League Council, except the Italian representative, and charged with the momentous task of instituting

The paper goes on to say that this pressure was brought to bear by circles "who were bent with reconciling with Italy at all costs. Happily the danger of the League of Nations being betrayed for Mussolini's, sake has been averted." The paper concludes by writing that Mr. Eden who is coming to London for the week-end will re- port to the Premier, Mr. Stanley Baldwin, on these unforseen diffi- culties-

tant tramp routes. If it is argued, shipowners car co-operate. to that extent, may they not also accept a voluntary non-contribu- tory scheme of international ra- tionalisation? Of course, the plan is not as simple as it sounds, but the British industry, traditionally so individualist, is to be congratu- lated on at last giving a lead in the matter. Among the difficulties that remain is the position of liners which might, if an arrangement is not also made with them, take ad- vantage of the reduction, in tramp tonnage. Another and bigger pro- blem is that of the subsidies. Pre- sident Roosevelt would like to re-. duce the American subsidies, but his proposed legislation has yet to go through, while other countries. are talking of increasing theirs. But there seems to be no real rea- the subsidy question should interfere with the attempt at rationalisation except that a truce against an increase in sub- sidies might need to be signed..
