Unwilling To Rebuff Ethiopians

ASSEMBLY MEETING MAY

BE DELAYED AS RESULT

Geneva, Sept. 20.

An eleventh-hour hitch over the Ethiopian demand for representation in the League of Nations Assembly is likely to prevent the opening of the session of that body at 10.30 a.m. to-morrow.

The difficulty has arisen owing to the disinclination of member-states to take the responsibility of serving on the Credentials Committee, which was expected to reject the Ethiopians' claim to be represented in the Assembly.

The feeling of some delegates is that such a responsibility should be placed upon the shoulders of all members of the Assembly equally. Unless the difficulty is solved overnight, therefore, it will not be easy for the Assembly to meet this morning, as it would be farcical if no Credentials Committee had been constituted, since the Assembly could not then go on with its work.
