Evidently the Canadians believe in having their

Geneva, June 24(ANP)-Although
the league Of nations has all but
officially recognized Italy's con-
quest of Ethiopia, for the purpose
of taking in money its diplomats
still realize the African nations
independence.
AT tke end Of April the league
received a check for $2,27s from
Selassie in part payment for Eth
Opia's dues. This check WAS not
cashed, but was held by Secretary
because its cashing would have
implied that Selass1e was still
recognized as an emperor and thus
would have halted negotiations at
the recent council meeting where
the little Negus lost out.

took no decision then on Ethiopia,
