ITALY WILL NOT
ATTEND LEAGUE

Geneva, Sept. li--(U.P) - italy
has decided to continue Its boycott
OF the League Of Nations and is not
expected 10 send q delegation to the
council meeting September 10, 1t
was said in reliable quarters today.
italy withdrew from league activ-
tiles last spring because the league
insisted on permitting Ethiopia, as
a member, TO attend its meetings,
Joseph A. Avenol, secretary general
OF the league, has Just ended q visit
to Rome in which he sought 70 per-
suade the Italian government to
resume, It's cooperation. Italy's terms
were that Ethiopia must not be
represented. When Avenol left
Rome for Geneva late last night, II
was limited tina tsome way would
be found to exclude Ethiopia.
Count Galexzo Ciano, Italian for
eigri minister, communicated the
decision TO the league even while
Ayenol was en- route from Rome to
Geneva. a
The decision was believed here to
indicate that Avenol was unable
to guarantee that Ethiopia would
be repudiated by Its fellow league
members. The council meeting Is to
be followed immediately by an as
sembly meeting at which oil menu
bers Of the league will be represent
ed, including the smaller ones who
used to regard the league as help
IN event OF attack.
