SYMPATHY FOR SILVER STANDARD NATIONS

(SPECIAL TO "TELEGRAPH")

Washington, May 13.

In his broadcast here to-day Mr. Henry Mor- genthau, the Secretary of the Treasury, said: "The world should know when it is ready to seek foreign

exchange stabilisation that Washington will not be

an obstacle.

"Our position is that of an innocent bystander

who has suffered untold losses in a fight he did not start, and we should not be admonished that the moral duty to restore order is primarily ours.

"Before we make any further commitments we must make certain that we won't lose what we have already gained.

"We aro not unwilling stabilise. However, if the great trading nations elect to continue.

ITALY RESENTS INTERVENTION

BRITISH ATTITUDE BRINGS REBUKE.

ROME CAN SETTLE WITH ABYSSINIANS

Rome, May 13.

The Italian Government has informed Abyssinia that it has chosen the two Italian representatives for the Conciliation Commission, and thus obviously invites Abyssinia to name its delegates, so that an immediate effort may be made to settle the frontier disputes which have arisen between the two nations and have threatened to bring them to grips.

Abyssinia has long been seeking intervention by the League of Nations in this dispute with Italy, but has mobilised its fighting forces in the event of

hostilities becoming unavoidable. The Ethiopian soldiery is massed on the frontiers of Eritrea and Italian Somaliland, facing 100,000 Italian troops.

Il Giornale d'Italia which invariably speaks for the Government, sharply criticises the alleged partiality of a section of the British press towards Abyssinia.
