ROME COUNCIL
TO MEET
Mussolini To Make Declaration
ANNEXATION OF
ETHIOPIA..
Home, May 7.
It is believed that the annexation of Ethiopia will be recommended at Saturday's meeting of the Fascist Grand Council.
In this event, the Council of Ministers, which meets inmediate ly afterwards, will translate the re- commendation into a decree.
"There can only be one outcome to the problem of the Ethioplan territory; namely, its annexation, pure and simple, to Italy." declares Signor Virginto Gayda, writing in the semi-official Giornale d'Italia to-day.
He adds: This annexation.cor- responds to the rights of Italy as a conqueror, and to the right of the native population to have the peace, order and protection which they ask, and which the Fascist Government has promised."
It is expected that Signor Musso- lin will announce the annexation or Ethiopia tn 300,000 people in the Piazza Venezia on Saturday.
All Fascist organisations have been ordered to attend a gather- ing there to hear Il Duce communi- cale the decision of the Grand Council at about 11,o'clock at night.
Italy's decision on the future status of Ethiopia, according to ometal sources tapped earlier, would not be announced before the meeting of the League of Nations Council on Monday, and may not even be made known then., Ometal circles make no predictions, and, merely contert themselves with the relteration that French and Bri- tish treaty rights in Ethiopia will be respected.

MR. CHURCHILL AND THE CHANCELLOR
His Praises
London, Apr. 24: Mr. Churchill had his innings in the Budget debate to-day. In the course of a long speech he mixed with an artistic hand his two most [amous styles of oratory-the light operatic and the baroque. But what surprised the House, what even raised innumerable smiles, was his praise of Mr. Neville Cham- berlain.

EURASIA 'PLANE FOUND SAFE NEAR NINGHSIA
Shanghai, May 5.- Reported to be missing in a sand storm, the Eurasia Aviation Cor- Poration's 'plane No: 3 was found safe about ten kilometres from the Ninghsia aerodrome,, according to informadon received by the local firm yesterday. The accident oc- curred last Saturday, when the 'plane made a forced landing.
Carrying four passengers and a child. the 'plane left Protow for Ninghsiu at 8.10 am. About three and a half hours after its depar- ture, a heavy sand storm suddenly commenced to blow, making the lght impossible. Fortunately the plane was flying over dat country and no injuries or serious damage were reported in the forced land- Ing.
The anxiety which had arisen over the safety of the 'plane was soon dispelled after the receipt of the information, and the vehicle was later removed to the Ninghsia aerodrome.
Mr. Yen piloted the single motor monoplane.-(N.C.D. Newi

from public elementary
This is one of the points emphas- ised yesterday in its report by the Standing Committee appointed to advise the Government on the needs of University education in Britain.
"At the Universities, Including Oxford and Cambridge, there is a greater opportunity for an in- termingling of classes and of re- presentatives of every section of society than could be found at "any other corporate or public in-
stitution," adds the report.
It says that the number of full- time students at the sixteen Uni-
versities, three University colleges and two technical colleges recog- nised for grant aid in Great Bri-
tain is now 50,638, of whom rough- ly one-fourth are women students
During the past six years this represents an increase of about 11 per cent. In the total number.
DECREASE IN SCOTLAND
The increase took place in Ems- land and Wales, as there had been a decrease of 701 in Scotland.:
For Great Britain as a whole the number of full-time en students increased by 5,789, bat there was a decrease of 864 in the number of women students. "The proportion of full-time uni- versity students in this country in 1934-35 is shown to be the lowest in the world among large countries.
