that the British actions are equal to

regards the application Of sanctions
against treaty v~iolators and there

(Article xI Of the league oven

IN case any such emergency should

Spirit TnfriendIy'
italian newspapers for the last
few days have stated Italy,s position
In regard to the British concentra-
ton OF warships at great length.
They declared Great Britain's naval
concentration In the Mediterranean
constitutes at least as great a viola
ton OF the league covenant as tia
ly's concentration Of troops In East
Africa.
The newspapers have suggested
that the league. In addition TO dis
cuSSing the Italo-Ethiopian situa-
ton, should also discuss the British
naval activities.
An Italian government spokesman
said Friday there still was a posi-
bility that the league compromise
proposal might serve as a basis for
the discussion Of the Italo-Ethio-
plan situation provided the propo-
sal was considerably modified.
He said the spirit in which the
proposal was formulated must also
be modified. characterizing the
spirit as "u~nfriendly."

the demand voiced by theatrego-
ers that THE Green Pastures, :"

Saturday night, has been held ov-
er for another week. When it was
formally announced last week that
the play would close. the theatre
office was the recipient of a broad
side of protests made by people
who had bought seats IN advance.
When It was suggested that their
money be refunded, they wrath
fully announced that they wanted
to see the play, many of them ha-
wing seen it before being anxious
to see it again.
THE Green Pastures. has been
viewed as more than a play; audi
ences who view it do so with an
air of reverence which is evident
even during the intermission, when
playgoers who usually pass the
time with conversation. smoke eli
garettes in the lobby in a more or
less detached atmosphere.
When the company is disband-
ed this Saturday, it viii be called
for rehearsal late in August, pre-
paratory to a winter tour through
the key cities. Starting on Labor
Day in Boston, the show will be
