ITALY MAY RECALL
LEAGUE DELEGATES
Mussolini Says His People Do
Not Believe in That Body Any
hoW-DemandS Viewpoint.

Rome. = Premier Mussolini, it Is
understood, is ready to withdraw the
Italian delegates from the Geneva con-
ference If his viewpoint concerning
the conflict with Greece is not shared
by the League of Nations.
The Italian Government maintains
its position regarding the Greek appeal
to the League of Nations. 1t declares
that the controversy between Greece
and Italy concerns directly the honor
and dignity of Italy, and Italy there
fore cannot delegate to even the high
est international assembly the defense
Of her gravely offended prestige. Pre-
Italian public opinion does not believe
in the League of Nations.
Deputy Giuriati, the second Italian
delegate to the League of Nations, ar
rived here from Geneva, he had an
hours conversation with Premier Mus
solini and started on his return to
Geneva, where he will report to Signor
Salandra, the first delegate.
Diplomatic circles associate the visit
of Signor Giuriati and his interview
with the Premier with the Greco-Ital-
ian controversy and Greece's appeal
to the League of Nations, but the Gov
ernment observes strict silence on the
subject.
Reports from Janina, Albania, pub
lished by the Rome Newspapers, say
that the Greeks had prepared pre-
vious attempt against General TellinI,
the head of the Italian section of the
Greco-Albanian Commission who was
murdered with his companions. 1t was
to have been made August "a at Dema,
Albania.
There is much excitement along the
Greco-Albanian frontier, according to
reports reaching here, which say that
armed bands partly composed Of Greek
officers and soldiers are overrunning
the disputed zones and spreading panic
among the population.
