CHANCE TO REOPEN NEGOTIATIONS

BRITAIN TO SUGGEST ARMISTICE

Paris, Jan. 12.

Newspaper correspondents write from Geneva that the postponement of the meeting of the Fascist Grand Council from January 18 to February 1 was decided upon in order to allow Baron Alolsi the opportunity of discussing with British and French representatives the possibility of further negotiations on the subject of the Italo-Ethiopian dispute.

One correspondent says that for the procedure of con- ciliation to become a reality it is only necessary for Italy to approve the extension of the mandate of the League's Com- mittee of Investigation so as to include not only the methods. undor which the war in Ethiopia is being conducted, but also the means by which a remedy might be found which would meet the crisis.

This correspondent adds that the British Government, when this subject is raised at Geneva, will suggest an Armistice of from six to eight weeks in order that a Committee of Investigation may carry on its work expeditiously. Reuter.

If the Bonus Bill becomes law, the issue of how it is to be paid automatically arises. There are three methods of pay. Tent: (1) A Bond issue; (2) Now taxation; (3) Outright inflation.
