LONDON, September 2l.-The con-
sensus of Europe's diplomats is that
barring the surrender Of Mussolini
to League of Nations pressure, the
Italo-E Ethiopian war will break out
between September 20 and October Is.
The gravest of the ensuing ques-
tionss these troubled diplomats in
Rome, Paris, Geneva and London said
today. was whether hostilities could
be localized or whether the African
spark would ignite another world con-
fagration.
Mussolini's refusal to compromise
combined with the approaching end
of the rainy season in Ethiopia, has
converted Europe almost overnight
from speculation on the likelihood OF
colonial war to discussion Of what
nations may be involved.
The survival or collapse of the
cumbersome postwar machinery OF
peace depends, in the view of British
circles, on what Mussolini does in the
next few critical weeks-or even
hours.
Most official and diplomtic spokes-
men in Europe's capitals agree that
there is only the slenderest chance
that II Duce will turn back once his

ROME, September 21-Italy's Duce-
dominated cabinet today turned down
the League of NationS~p plan
but its rejection was couched in Ian
guage so friendly that many believed
the door was open for further negotia-
tions.
The rejection was made on the
ground that the Geneva proposals do
not offer a minimum basis sufficient
for a conclusive realization which
finally and effectively would take into
account Italy's vital rights and
interests"
II Duce, who alone holds eight cabi-
net portfolios, made full, up-to-the-
minute report of the political and
military situation, the communique
stated.
Report Is Explained.
Then he explained the League COM
mittee's report.
The cabinet examined the proposals
attentively, but found it could not
. accept them.
Another meeting of the ministers
was called for Tuesday "to follow de-
Velopments in the political situation
and to complete the order Of the day
with regard to administrative affairs"
the communique announced.
In government circles it was said
the meeting was called for Tuesday
because, it was hoped, the five-power
committees proposals will be so modi-
fed by that time as to permit Italy
to reconsider them.
On Tuesday, therefore, there was
a possibility different kind of answer
might be given to a peace-seeking

Italian Malta" in Siege.
AS the cabinet met, naval inform
ants said Italy's "Malta"-the island
of Pantelleria-had been placed in
a state of siege which will enable
Italy to cut the Mediterranean into
two seas. separating the British fleet
IN the West from that in the East, in
case of hostilities.
The island, with a population just
under 10000. is 10 miles southwest of
Sicily and Is miles from Tunis. 1t
middle o.. the narrowest portion of the
Mediterranean, namely, between Tunis
and Sicily.
Thus it commands channel
through which ships must pass to GO
from one end of the Mediterranean to
the other.
In naval circles it was said Pantel-
leria has been heavily fortified and in
consequence of a recent order now is
in a state of the highest military eff
cheney.
Five Ships Leave Naples.
In keeping with the cabiAet's re-
lection of the peace plan, five ships
left Naples for East Africa with 6,717
men.
They were the Toscana, the Gange,
the Aurora, the Securitas and the PoZ-
Euoli. Motorized artillery supplies also
were on board.
The Italian press declared Great
Britain already has adopted sane
tions against Italy" and warned that
Italy will be bound to respond when
ever Mussolini sees fit.
In political circles, observers pointed
, out there was ray of hope in the
cabinet declaration, even though it
rejected the League committees pro-
posals.
These persons said today's COM
munique was an entirely different
affair from that which followed last
