ITALY'S CASE MUST BE AIRED

London, July 23.

Britain will press for full discussion of all the aspects of the Italo-Abyssinian dispute when the League of Nations Council considers the matter next week, says Reuter's diplomatic correspondent.

Hope of a peaceful settlement before the League Council meeting becomes increasingly remote. Only such a settlement would alter Britain's determination to insist upon the sifting of the whole quarrel.

GUILDER'S FATE UNCERTAIN

HOLLAND MAY QUIT GOLD STANDARD

COLIJN'S GOVERNMENT FACING DEFEAT

The Hague, July 28.

It is generally believed that the devaluation of the guilder is inevitable because the majority of the Second Chamber favours this step.

It is learned in Parliamentary circles that Dr. H. Colijn, the Prime Minister, will advise the Queen to call on the Catholic leader, Dr. Salberse, to form a new Government. But it is expected there will be difficulties in his way as it is unlikely that the powerful, Social-Democrats will co-operate with the Catholics.

The public galleries of the Lower Chamber were crowded in expectation of a vote which would be critical for the Government, and possibly for Holland's currency, to-night. At the outset, Dr. Westerman said that if the Government did not devalue its currency it would have to take effective measures to protect it. Severe control of foreign exchanges was essential to parry any new attack on the guilder, he declared. A divergence of views was indicated by subsequent speakers.
