have developed when Prof. CASTOR
Jeze, legal adviser to the Ethiopian
government, asserted that Ualual,
scene of the first major frontier Incl
dent, was in Ethiopian territory.
The Italian representatives entered
a strong protest against such testi-
mony, asserting that the commission
was empowered to consider only the
causes of incidents.
They insisted they would hear no
more evidence from Prof. Jeze. When
the Ethiopian adviser persisted in
giving his views, the session ended.
A proposal to call in a neutral fifth
member to resolve the deadlock had
been discussed, but the Italian repre-
sentatives would not agree to such a
step.
The Cancellation commission. under
the instruction of the League Of Ma
lions council, held preliminary meet
ings at Milan, Italy, in June and re-
convened in this suburb of The Hague
June 25.
Predict Italy to Quit League If
Session Called.
Geneva, July 10.-Italian circles
predicted today that Italy will resign
from the League of Nations if a spe-
cial session Of that body IS called on
the Italo-Ethiopian conflict. A spe-
cial session appears likely because Of
the breakdown in the Cancellation
commission proceedings.
A resolution adopted by the league
council May 25 provided a special ses-
sion of the council should be called
July rs if the Italo-E Ethiopian arbitra-
tors failed to reach an agreement and
failed to appoint a fifth arbitrator to
act as umpire.
1T also provided for a council SEES
sion August %, at all events, if the
dispute had not been settled by that
time.
Today the Italo- Ethiopian concil-
iation commission, meeting at Sche-
veningen, Netherlands, decided to sus-
pend its sessions indefinitely.
The dispute between Italy and the
African empire already has gravely
affected the work Of economic and fl
nancial experts who are meeting here
privately to study the feasibility Of
imposing economic and financial pen
alties on nations endangering peace
through the regulations Of %interna-
tional treaties.
Italy Believes It's Path Is Clear.
Rome, July 11,-Italy believed to-
night a path from Rome to Adds
Ababa was clear.
Official circles said there was
scarcely a possibility of English in
tervention; there is no doubt of
Frances friendly neutrality, and the
United States has just declared its
neutrality.
Germany is now friendly, they
said, and Russia will be friendly be-
cause of France. The only foreign
nation England may possibly per-
suade to her point of view was be-
lieved here to be Japan, which has
growing commercial interests in
Ethiopia, but Japan apparently has
her hands full with the Chinese and
Manchoukuon situations.
There remained only the League
of Nations, of which Benito Musso-
lini has no fear. Before that assemb-
ly Italy does not intend to remain
on the defensive, but will take the Of
fensive with charges that Ethiopia
Violated the conditions under which
she was permitted to enter, and
should be reduced to the rank of a
mandate.
If the league should attempt to con-
denim Italy, official circles disclosed,
II Duce would not have the slightest
hesitation about leaving Geneva.
Meanwhile Italy continued military
preparations against Abyssinia to-
day by calling to the colors all sub
officers and soldiers classified as
specialists or technicians and belong
ing to the classes Of 1909 and 1910.
