conference be convened now when calm reason might have a chance to bring nations into friendly CO., for mutual help?"
 De Valera, supporting Britain and other nations in promising support of the league, took the lead in talking frankly of the dan- ger of a world war.
 Yesterday" he said "believing that war as an instrument of ag- gressive national policy had been outlawed, our thoughts were busy with the possibility of union in Europe.
 War Horrors Detailed. To-day, before the mangled 1 bodies of the youth of this conti- nent have yet been mercifully as- simulated with it's clay, before the Ianguished hearts of countless moth- CTS have even got a respite, we are here awaiting the result of an 11th hour attempt to postpone the open ing of a conflict which may set the peoples of the world mutilating and destroying each other again. We | are awaiting-and expecting little | but the relief that must come in l exchanging the piteous melancholy uncertainty of today for the steady resolve and active purpose of to- morrow"
 Expressing regret at having to put the league above Irish-Italian | friendship, De Valera said: "The final chance for the league and all it stands for has come. Our conduct in this crisis will deter mine whether the leargue is worthy to survive or had better lapse, dis appear and be forgotten" Voice From Black Nation. The first voice from a black na- tion came today when Gen. Alfred | Namours of Haiti, in the name of colored nations. begged the league not to discriminate against the Philippians because they are black, but to grant them justice.
 The republic of Haiti-all col ored people-place their faith in the spirit of justice and peace which has inspired the nations who are members of the league" he said. we are confident that the soil of Africa will not be drenched with the blood of that ancient people who now stand be- fore you appealing for justice" League of nations leaders, anti cipating months of crisis, intend to keeu the league council in per- manent session until Christmas recessing occasionally for brief periods.
 l Program Tonight.

 Today: Ramon De Valera, Irish

 Tom orrow: Sub committee sub

 proval.
 Wednesday: League council meets to submit questionnaire to Italy and Ethiopia. Recesses in anti cipation of unqualified Italian re- jeCtion.
 Italy's rejection, regarded as ab- solutely certain, is the final act
 which will commit Mussolini to
 war with Ethiopia, no matter how grave It's representations may be on
 Europe, on the world, and from the immediate view, to his country and to him.
 Then Comes Overt Act Then, as 1t is expected to de- Velop, must come the overt act the movement in mass of Italian soldiers from Eeritrea and Italian Somaliland across the Ethiopian frontier.
 Talk continues that 1t may be possible. after the first Italian
 machinery simultaneously toward re-estab blishing peace along with the necessary discussion of what to do if peace proves impossible. l It Is planned that the council shall remain in what approximates continuous session, available for an immediate call by Joseph A. Aven- ol, league secretary general. Several delegations represented at the assembly discussed to-day the advisability of sending a depu- tation to visit Mussolini with personal last minute plea for peace. French delegates and group of influential league officials disap- proved the plan as visionary. | Report in Tow Parts
