GENEVA, July 2s.-League of Ma

a major concession in its dispute with
Italy by refraining from insistence
that the Council dig to the bottom
Of the controversy.
Emperor Halle Selassie, In his
latest communication to the League,
contented himself with getting back
to the arbitration attempts. He
asked at its session three days hence
that the League Council define the
powers Of the deadlocked Cancellation
Commission.
Limitation Opposed.
In answer to the Italian contention
that the commission should restrict
discussion to frontier incidents. how
ever. Ethiopia demanded that no such
limitation be imposed.
The King of Kings" had the right
to call for Council investigation of
the East African crisis under article
Is of the League covenant, under
which the Council eventually would
make recommendation for a settle
ment.
If the Council approved such rec
concentrations unanimously any ma
ton defying them would be pro-
nounced an aggressor.
League sources interpreted Ethi-
opia's move in pointing the Council
meeting Wednesday toward decis-
ion on the arbitrators' powers as a
maneuver to put Premier Benito Mus
solini in an awkward diplomatic posi-
ton.
Geneva realized that even a settle
ment of frontier incidents by arbitra-
ton would not necessarily liquidate
the underlying problem created by Il
Duce's reported ambition for q virtual
protectorate over Ethiopia.
League Representatives said post
