COUNTER-PROPOSALS SENT TO GENEVA

Geneva, Sept. 22.

Great importance is attached here to the long con- versations between Baron Aloisi and Senor de Madariaga, the Chairman of the Committee of Five' of the League of Nations, which has been attempting to reach a formula for the settlement of the Italo- Ethiopian dispute.,

During the consultation it is understood that Baron Aloisi received a communication from the Italian Gov- ernment, of which Senor Madariaga took note, and which he later circulated to his colleagues on the League Committee.

It is gathered that the Italian communication dealt with various points of the Committee's proposals, show- ing where these were considered inadequate and where Italy considered them objectionable.”

It is understood that Italy not in favour of Ethiopia being) kiven access to the sea, and has certain proposals to make regard- ing territorial rectifiention And the suppression of the arms traffic | in the kingdom of the Negus,' whose Carry on tensively.

London, Sept. 22.

An official statement issued by the Foreign, Office to-day states that Sir Eric Drummond, the British Ambassador to Italy, called upon the Italian Under- Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Signor Pulvio Suvich on September 20, in order to communicate to him move- ments of the British Fleet and the plans for reinforce- ments, by men and material, of the garrisons flying the British flag in the Mediterranean.

The British spokesman explained that these move- ments were not intended to imply any, aggressive intention on the part of Great Britain but were made as a natural consequence of the impres sion created by the violence of the Italian press campaign against Great Britain.

Signor Suvich said he was authorised to declare that the Italian military preparations in the Medi- terranean basis were purely precautionary and had no aggressive aims.
