Il Duce's course of action is fully mcot- determined. At yesterday's ings of the Fascist Grand Counell the Italian policy was definitely and un- alterably established; but there is no hint as to what that policy may be. and only when the League acts. will it be disclosed.

The Grand Council amounced its decision to one matter, however: it will continue is campaign in Ethiopia of diplomatic developments. rether important decision has been taken by the Government. All foreign commerce in future will be under the direct control of the Italien Government.

Austrian Vice-Chancellor.

The formal motion in this matter, however, was withdrawn after the Government spokesman's reply.

Lord Marley dwelt at length upon the peacefulness of the Chinese de- monstrators on this occasion.

Lord Stanhope, In answer, said the reports he had road in a local news paper differed materially from Lord Marley's account of the happenings It was obvious from what he had read that the students had disorganised traffic and had tried to enter the In ternational Settlement from parts of the Chinese-controlled city.

He would inquire, sald Lord Stan hope, whether the Shanghal Municipal Police, who were under the control of the International Council, had used undue violence; but the very last thing the Municipal

Council would

desire its officers to do would be to attack the Chinese unnecessarily and raise bad feeling between the Chi-

and foreigners.
