Paris.-The Council of Ambassa-
doris sent to the Greek government
proposed terms of settlement for the
Italo-Greek controversy which, being
only slight modification Of Musso-
linis terms, are considered highly ia
vorable to Italy. 1t is believed there
are sufficient changes in the plan to
! satisfy the Greek demands.
Baron Avezzano. the Italian Am
bassador, declared the terms were
highly satisfactory to him, and Italy
and Greece are both expected to ac-
cept them.
From authoritative sources, it was
learned that the note suggests that
the committee Of inquiry into the as
sassination of the Italian boundary
commissioners near Janina have ia
panese at it's head and be composed Of
representatives OF each Of the three
inter-AIlied powers = Great Britain,
France and Italy The United States
is not represented, the ambassadors
believing that the presence of a Japan
ese at the head of the commission
will satisfy the Greek insistence upon
a neutral"
1t was determined also to adhere
virtually to sanctioning the demands
of Mussolini, which were sugared over
by the League in it's note to the Coun-
Gil.
The four points recommended by
the Council are:
til ~, nf
the murdered commission in the
presence of the Greek government.
The selection of a committee of in
curry.
1t is understood that the words Of
the Council apropos of the third pro-
posal, "the manner of the salute to be
determined later" were disposed of in
a manner agreeable to Italy and I'M
offensive to Greece, since the original
proposition of Mussolini to raise the
Italian flag over the Greek flag was
the one thing at whitn Greece baked
most
The council has left the difficult
question of the Corfu seizure severely
alone, since it is now open knowl-
edge that Mussolini has promised
Poincare to evacuate the island as
soon as Greek Preparations are made
In addition, the council is quite aware
that Mussolini refuses to accept the
jurisdiction of the council on that
point. Therefore, 1t has been most
prudent and has confined its atten-
ton solely to the first part of the
Italo-Greek problem-the assassina-
ton of the members of the Interval
lied Commission on Greek soil.
AS was to be expected from the re-
cent alignment of nations, the French
influence at the conference predom-
mated. Her policy of supporting Italy
left Lord Crewe alone in his obiec-
lions on several debatable points,
since the United States representa-
tive, Mr.. Sheldon, and Japan, by Sato,
had no vote, but sat merely as OBJ
servers Of the discussion wherein the
votes of Jules Cambon, ambassador
of France, and Avezzana, of Italy, pre-
ponderated.
Rome-Premier Mussolini turned
cial establishment to give a statement
to The Associated Press correspond
ent concerning the critical issue
which has arisen between Italy and
Greece. More particularly, the pre-
mier said he was painfully impressed
by some of the American newspaper
criticism Of Italy's denial of the com
potency of the League of Nations to
deal with this issue, as it was Ameri-
ca he said, which had first detected
defects in the leagues organism.
Signor Mussolini was seen at his
headquarters in the historic Palazzo
Chigi, the former residence of the
Austrian embassy, but now the site of
the Italian foreign Office The ante
room leading to the premier's study
was crowded with senators, deputies,
generals and high officers of the Fas-
cisti, these last in their black shirts
