 ARE DEADLOCKED

 Aloisi insisted that at present Italy cannot allow the council to fo beyond arranging for resump- ton of arbitration of the Ualual incident.
 Eden With Ethiopia.
 Eden twice intervened, however, and insisted that the council can discuss the entire dispute itself if necessary, and take appropriate action.
 Jeze also reserved the right to raise other questions beyond the mere resumption of arbitration.
 Tn big task thus remaining is to find compromise formula for the resumption of arbitration which will be acceptable to France, Bri- tain, Italy and Ethiopia.
 Willing To Arbitrate
 Aloisi, opening debate, an- nounced Italy is willing to resume arbitration. Jeze made a similar announcement. Premier Pierre La val of France then intervened, pointing out that both parties were agreed on the point and that France and Britain should help them to reach a compromise dur ing the next "A hours, for presen- tation to the council.
 Jeze interrupted, saying that when he expressed Ethiopia's will ingness to resume arbitration, he did not mean to limit the discus sion to that point. He asked as- surances that arbitration really would achieve something instead of merely wasting time.
 Eden also insisted that if the council adopted Lava's suggestion, it should not mean limiting it's efforts solely to reviving arbitra- tion.
 Italian Envoy Subsided
 Aloisi then insisted that the league, under it's resolution of May 25, could not intervene in the dispute before expiration of the time of August 25, which it had fixed.
 Eden retorted by reserving the right to discuss the entire dispute if he deems it necessary.
 Maxim Litvinov, presiding, closed the meeting, keeping the agenda open until Litvinov conferred pri- vately after the meeting.
 It was reported a compromise project already was being drafted. arranging for resumption of arbi- tration, with certain guarantees on which the British are insisting.

Rogers is involved in the romance
of Anne Shirley and John Mcclure

when the Mississippi River played a
more important part in the romance

does today.
