'SUPPORT PROMISED

London, Aug. 1. The situation arising from the dispute between Italy and Abyssinia was the main subject of spooches in the debate on foreign affairs initiated by the Leader of the Opposition, Mr. George Lans bury, in the House of Commons to- day. He said the Labour Party would support the Government by overy means in its power so long as the Government stood quite firmly by its obligations under the League Covenant. They did not ask the Government to act alone, but to stand without reservation by the League Covenant.

A weighty pronouncement the Abyssinian dispute, is believed to have been designed to put the moral support of the United- States behind the League of Nations. It was made public by President Roosevelt to-night.

"At the moment the Council of the League of Nations le 18- sembled to consider ways and means of composing, by pacific means, the differences between Italy and Ethiopia.
