LEAGUE TENSION RELAXED
ABYSSINIAN NOTE SOOTHES ITALY
MORE HOPE: OF KEEPING PEACE IN AFRICA
Geneva, July 28. Abyssinia has sent a note to the League of Nations which created a very much more optimistic feeling. Although the note maintained all the arguments already forwarded by the Abyssinian representative

on the Arbitration Commission, it leaves to the Council Floods of the League.the decision respecting the interpreta- tion of the terms of reference.
The note confirms the request submitted by the Abyssinian delegates for the interpretation of the mission of the Commission of Conciliation.
Abyssinia, further, denies that she ever agreed to limitation of the arbitrators' powers and argues that it rests with the Council to divide between the respec- tive contentions of the two groups of arbitrators and make a pronouncement. The note has made a favourable impression in Geneva where it in considered very important that it. makes no reference to Article XVI of the Covenant, and no suggGO- tion that the background of the dis- pute should be discussed.
Hence, it is hoped that the Coun- cl will be able to confine its discus ion to the question of conciliation and control thus obtaining at least) a month's breathing spell, in which time the efforts of the Powers will be maintained to secure a peaceful bettlement of the dangerous issues troubling the African political situation-Reuter.
- ITALY APPROVES.
As a result of the impression made by the Abyssinian note re- ceived by the League of Nations, Italy, has decided to attend the meeting of the Council of the League when the Italo-Ethiopian dispute will be aired-Reuter.
