soon disappear
His statement was taken to mean
he expects an end to league sane

Previously MuSSolini announced to
300 delegates of the % Fascist cor

Cooperative state in which parlia-

Mussolini implied that the terri

Ethiopia will be retained by Italy.
Victory is kissing our flags in
East Africa" he said, "and the ter
ritory which our soldiers are con-
Quering is already territory conse-

Evidently referring to the League
of Nations covenant, under which
sanctions were applied to Italy in
an effort to stop the war, Mussolini
said:
THE vital progress of the italian
people never was and never will be
halted by the legalistic wires of a
pact which. instead of promoting
peace, threatens humanity with a
prospect OF even more vast wars"
