 need be against the concerted opin- ion of other nations, followed a fervent plea for solution of the dis pute by Captain Anthony Eden of Great Britain. Eden warned that collapse of the leagues efforts to bring the controversy to an end would be a world calamity. Baron Aloisi's statement bore out the declaration of Premier Benito Mussolini in his recent in- terview with the United Press, in which he said Italy would go ahead, with the league or with out the leauges or against the league" .'. Aloisi surprised the council when he strongly indicated that Mussolini no longer regards the Italian Ethiopian friendship pact of 1928 binding.
 ,"The Italian government, he said, "has been obliged to conclude that the Treaty of 1928 has failed in practice to guarantee the peace fuf existence of the Italian col onies.
 Ignores the Treaty -
 Therefore, Italy can no longer count upon. the provisions of that treaty. Nor, when, a country hke Ethiopia Is involved, can Italy rely on purely legal guarantees to full fill the duty of banishing forever the dangers menacing her col onies." Aloisi announced that Italy re- fuses to be treated on an equal footing with Ethiopia before the league, because Ethiopia violated her obligations as a member of the league. In a remark which Gaston' Jeze of Ethiopia interpreted as an ltal- ian move to oust Ethiopia from the league, Aloisi said: .~ | "All solidarity with a state which | allows such abuses to exist within | it's borders must be refused by civilized nations.
 In an address preceding that of l Aloisi, Premier Pierre Laval ot France announced that his coun- try would fully support the coun- ell. He expressed confidence that a peaceful solution would be found which would assure Italy the sat isfaction she would claim without disregarding the essential rights oi the Ethiopian government" 1 Laval Confident
 Laval expressed satisfaction with Eden's statement that Britain re. mains loyal to the collective sys. tenn among nations. @
 1T maintain all my confidence ir the future of the League of Ma tions," he said.
 AloiA presented the Italian memorandum, which said that Ethiopia, through alleged viola. tions Of international agreements is no longer fit for league mem. berhip or entitled to claim rights under the covenant.
 The memorandum said Ethiopia constitutes an immediate and per manent danger to the security oi Itaiy's colonies in East Africa, and thrt fn rising against this lntoler. able situation," Italy is defending her own security as well as the prestige of both Italy and tho league.
 | Specific Charges
 Specifically, the memorandum charged Ethiopia with the follow ing:
 l. A series of acts of terror against Italian citizens and prop erty.
 2. Wilfully violating solemn Italian- Ethiopian agreements and illicitly occupying Italian territory l 3. General observance o1 her obligations under the league covenant, all of which deprive her of the right to privileges as a member of the league.
 The league was regarded as hay. ing been split wide open on the African conflict. Aloisi's speech re. affirming Italy's determination to enforce her will--coming after the pleas of Eden and Laval for peace was described by partisan delegates in the lobby as burn ing tIaly's bridges" t..
 While Laval merely reafflrmed Frances loyalty to the league Eden more openly demanded that Mussolini use thel eague instead of war as an instrument to settle the controversy. At the same time he, stressed Britain's friendship with Italy. 1 League Must Make Peace
