 bassadors, talked at length yes- terday with Fulvio Suvich,, under secretary for foreign affairs. Peace Had Been Halted Negotiations for peace halted here some days ago, and then there was series of talks at Paris between Premier Peirre Laval, also his own foreign minister, and Sir George Clerk, the British ambassa- dor. It was believed that the new plan was perfected during these talks.
 Denial by foreign office spokesman last night that Italy had any intention of withdrawing . om the league at present lent v .ure hope that a peaceable set T..ement of the Italian Ethiopian dispute might be effected.
 Another factor was Italy,s note to the League of Nations yester- day, announcing readiness to re- sume negotiations with Ethiopia for liquidation of the dispute re- garding clashes on the Italian-
 Italy Wins Point Geneva, July 26.-(UP)-Italy won a tactical victory in prepara- tion for the impending council meeting on the Ethiopian dispute as the secretariat prepared to-day to forward President Maxim Lit vinov's telegram to council mem bers, suggesting the session open next Wednesday.
 I .sCha cniinail ,syil1 ha cnnvolyAA ot, the basis of the resolution of May 25, as Italy desired, instead of on the basis of Ethiouia's appeal for an immediate meeting.
 l The May 25 resolution dealt solely with the submission of from tier incidents to arbitration. It provided the council would con- vene if the four arbitrators were unable to agree by July 25. Con- sequently, convocation on the basis may facilitate Italy's plan to re- strict the councils work and pro- long arbitral procedure, instead. of intervening directly in the dispute.
 That would give Italy another month to complete her military preparations before the council in- tervened again. On the other hand, if the council were convoked on the bashis of the Ethiopian ap- peal, it might prove more difficult to keep Ethiopia from asking for complete league intervention. Ethiopia's Defense l Paris, July 26.-UP)-Ethiop will defend before the league coun- cil next week it's right to import ornaments and military equipment as the only way to prevent war with italy, Tecla Hawariat, Ethio- plan minister to Paris and delegate to the league, said to-day.
 There is a movement on foot to place an arms embargo on Ethiopia" he said. Tt would mean Italy would have great ad- ern and mechanical army over our own men, even if they are magni- ficent soldiers.
 '"The world must realize that the only way to eliminate the danger of an Italian Ethiopian conflict is to allow us to get tanks, machine guns, airplanes and chemical SUD- plies, which we need to defend our territory, because Italy is appar- entity counting on our military weakness. Once we have strong tarmaments, there will be no likeli- hood of war"
 In connection with foreigners offering to fight for Ethiopia, Ha- wariat said:
 T have nothing to do with that phase of the question but I know that hundreds of volunteers from the United States, England, France, Belgium and Holland are seeking places in our army. Naturally, 1t Is a pleasing gesture but such of- fers must be carefully considered and volunteers properly organized. Also, we must be sure no foreign CTS enter the army this way"

 Calcutta, July 26-Mahatma M. K. Gandhi moved today to swing India's S50,00O,00O people to the support of ancient Ethiopa in its threatened war with fascist Italy.
 From his retreat at Wardha the wizened Mahatma. called by his people a lieutenant of God, ap- pealed to the country to contribute money for an Indian Red Cross contingent for Ethiopia and said:
 India can not ignore Benito Mussolini's threat against the col ored people.
 Although India is under British | rule, she is member of the league of nations.
 She is fully entitled to assist another nation, even in nom cambatant way"
 There was no immediate word whether Gandhi would organize the contingent himself or partici- pate in it actively.
