Geneva, Sept. 23.-(AP)-The Gre
dentials committee of the League of
Nations decided tonight to recon-
mend that delegates of Ethiopia con-
tinue to sit in the Assembly, and re-
versed a previous decision to submit
the question of Ethiopia's sovereign
ty to the World Court.
The committee decided in favor of
ethiopian participation in the AS
sembly because of existing doubt as
to the delegates credentials. The
Philippians, the committee held,
should be given the benefit of these
doubts.
Halle Se1assie and his delegates
contend there still is an independent
government in Ethiopia despite the
annexation of the conquered king
dom by Fascist Italy. On the other
hand, the Italians have refused to
participate in the Leagues proceed
ings until Ethiopia is erased from
membership.
League sources openly expressed
fear that Italy not only will refuse
to return to the Assembly but may
even resign from the League.
