TAKING ACTION

ABYSSINIA'S CASE TO BE AIRED

INTERNATIONAL COURT MAY JUDGE

Geneva, July 19.

A somewhat curiously worded communique was issued to-day by the League Secretariat, which is inter- preted to mean that arrangements are now complete for a meeting of the League Council, possibly on July 29 or 30, to consider the whole Italo-Abyssinian problem.

It is anticipated that Abyssinia will raise the ques- tion of Italy's warlike preparations and Italy's action in obtaining from certain Governments a promise of an arms embargo against Abyssinia.

It will probably be claimed that there can be no justification for such discrimination against a member nation of the League and it is believed that Abyssinia may suggest that the question should be submitted to the Hague Court of International Justice.

On the other hand it la consi- dered probable that Italy will against voice her

Well-informed Italian circles state that up to the moment no of such request has been made the Italian Government.

It is understood that the Italian Government has been sounded upon whether it will discuss the Italo-Abyssinian question with the British and French Governments on the basis of the 1906 treaty dealing with the rights Abyssinia and the European no tions with interests adjoining that territory.

Berlin, July 19.

Another pogrom is feared in Germany. Already there have been violent scenes when mobs attacked and beat Jews. Furthermore, the Nazis are taking drastic action against the Stahlhelm, Germany's great organisa- tion of ex-servicemen, and the measures to be enforced against them were announced to-night.

The Reich, says a newspaper speaking for the Government, will be purged with an iron fist.

The Secret State Police of Silesia, Prussia, have de- creed the immediate dissolution of all Steel Helmet (Stahlhelm) organisations in the districts of Breslau, Liegmitz and Oppeln which are the principal towns of the provinces.

The Minister of the Interior of Thuringia has forbidden the wearing of Stahlhelm badges or uniforms or the display of the flag of the organisation. Meeting and parades are also forbidden.
