Diplomats to-dny predicted that the League of Nations may reject the Anglo-French, peace proposals even if Signor- Mussolini and Emperor Haile Selassie accept them on behalf of Italy and Ethiopia,

League circles have received the first reports of the' suggested compromise from Paris with coldness. It is believed that the new formula offers, Italy more than the Committee of Five's proposals, which were made prior to the League's decision that Italy was the aggressor in the Ethiopian war.

It is believed that Russia, a powerful force in League circles, and Rumania, ona, of the strongest of the smaller powers at Geneva, will lead a bitter opposition to the Franco- British plan on the ground that it establishes a precedent "rewarding an aggressor for a crime." Thereafter, it is argued, no nation could feel safe-United Press.

CHINA AVERTS NORTH CRISIS

HO YING-CHING'S DIPLOMACY

JAPANESE SATISFIED FOR PRESENT

(SPECIAL TO "TELEGRAPH")

(By Telegraph.

Copyright, Telegraphic Messages Ordinance, 1894. Received, Dec, 0, 11.30 am.)

Tientsin, Dec. 9.

Although Japanese authorities are most reticent, it Ha learned in most reliable quarters that they are well satisfied with the terms of the North China settlement.

They are confident that the new system of government by Council will be announced at any moment and that the reform will allow for sufficient autonomy for all practical pur-. pose.

The form of the Council and its rumoured personnel, despite the omission of the word "autonomous" from its title. indicates that Nanking will allow it sufficient autonomy to deal with local questions and with relations between its territory and the former North-eastern provinces to avert any immediate Sino-Japanese crisis,

General Ho Ying-ching, the War Minister for China, apparently deserves credit for preventing the loss to Nanking of the northern customs and salt revenues, and the surrender of tho administration of these offices.
