ITALIANS WALK OUT OF COUNCIL SESSION

CRISIS SUDDENLY Death Roll

ETHIOPIAN ATTITUDE OFFENDS ITALY

Geneva, Sept. 5.

In the middle of a violent speech by Professor Jeze, the French spokesman for Ethiopia, the acting chief of the Italian delegation to Geneva left the League of Nations Council Chamber to-night.

The Council had reassembled at 7.10 p.m. and Baron Aloisi, the chief of the Italian delegation, was) absent when Professor deze commenced to place Ethiopia's case before the gathering and to answer the charges made the day previous by the Italians. The spokesman was violent in his language, and Signor Guido Rocco, the noted diplomatist who was acting for Baron Aloisi, left the Council table.

The fact that he walked out of the Council hall must not be interpreted as a serious political move. does not mean that Italy will leave the League.

The Question Committee ad-p journed until to-morrow, pending private segotiations. Owing to Italy objecting to the presence of ¦ the British and French probably į

NO JUSTIFICATION FOR WAR

Geneva, Sept. 5.

M. Maxim Litvinoff, the Russian Commissar for Foreign Affairs, made his country's attitude known officially at the League. Council meeting to-night. He said the Soviet wished nothing better than to continue the friendly Italo-Soviet relations of the past decade, but the question before the Council was of the peace of the world.

The Italian representative, said M. Litvinoff, in effect had invited the League Council to declare its dis- înterestedness in the Italo-Ethiopian dispute and leave Rome freedom of action.

This was surely an invitation to the League Council members to repudiate their own international obliga- tions, M. Litvinoff observed.
