Geneva, Sept. S.-If Italy accepts
Yesterdays decision OF the inter-ailied
council OF ambassadors. Greece will
view her dispute with the Italian gov
ernment as settled and will not push
her request TO the league OF nations,
to investigate the crisis. M. Politis,
the Greek spokesman, told the cor
respondent today.
NJ, Politis added however, that ac-
ceptance by Greece was contingent
upon whether the program OF settle
ment reached at Paris included ar
rangements for the Italian evacuation
Of Corfu and the other Greek islands
seized by the naval forces of the
Rome government.
Docs Not Know Text
NJ. Politis explained that he was
not informed as to the text of the
note prepared by the ambassadors but
that he understood 1t was virtually an
incorporation of the measures pro-
posed before the council of the league
this week by the Spanish ambassador
to France, Count Quinones de Leon.
Therefore. he added, the council
might we'll say that it had eff
fectively collaborated ir solving the
crisis.
Under the circumstances" he con-
tinued. "the question of the COM
potency of the league to take up the
Greco-Italian dispute becomes purely
academic because the conflict itself
will presumably have been settled"
Explains to America.
NJ. Politis asked that 1t be made
clear to the American people that
Greece's great desire is to secure
prompt settlement of the conflict in
the interest of general peace and to
obtain liberation of our occupied ter
ritory.'
I'VE wish to do everything to calm |
and solve the crisis and nothing to
accentuate it, he continued" want
however. to voice my judgment on |
this new principle of international
law which the council of ambassadors
suddenly forged at Paris the other
day and which the council of the
league seems to have subscribed to.
] refer to the principle that state
is necessarily responsible for political
crimes committed within Its territory.
II have been close student of in
law for Is years but this
Is the first have ever heard of such
a doctrine. Governmental RESPONSE
hility depends upon and exists in
to the negligence or faults
of state in connection with the
crime. That is the law of the world

BY The Associated Press.
Geneva, Sept s.--Publlcation here
of the text of the council of ambas-
sadors note TO Greece containing
proposed basis for settlement of the
Italo- Greek conflict inspired diverse
views in league of nations circles.
The first reaction was that of re-
joicing that the ambassadors had
practically embodied the suggestions
of the league council for the best
means of solving the crisis and that
they have also gone on record as ap-
preciative of the leagues initiative.
The second reaction was that in the
actual plan of settlement the league of
nations seemingly has no official
