ALOISI QUITS COUNCIL BY WAY OF PROTEST

Geneva, May 11,

A dramatic gesture was made by Baron Aloisi, the Italian delegate to the Lengue of Nations Council, when that body met privately today. He found M. Wolde Marlam, the Etiopian representative, at the Council table and immediately walked out of the Chamber after icily declaring he could not admit the presence of the "so-called delegate of Ethiopia."

The only power in Ethiopia is Italian, Baron Aloisi declared. Any discussion of the Italo-Ethiopian dispute would therefore be vain. "and I therefore will not participate in such discussions."

M. Marinm slayed, however, and passed a few remarka about Ethiopia's position.

Baron Aloisi later returned to attend the public meeting dealing with other questions than the Italo-Ethiopian problem.

The Council decided that the Ethiopian matter should remain on its agenda for future consideration.-Reuter,.
