humanitarian attitude of Ethio-
pia. China and Cuba toward Italy's
impoverished people is revealed III
the official printed report on the
United Nations Relief and Rehabi-
litation administration meeting at
Montreal, Canada on September
Is to II.
Although ITALY was one OF the
fascist aggressor nations, and one
that caused great suffering IN
Ethiopia, the three darker repre-
sentativeS expressed oneness IN
extending aid to the hungry Ital-
ian women, children and pregnant
mothers.
The Ethiopian government and
people, In their dealings with their
fallen enemy, are not guided by
indicative spirit, said Mr.. Med
hen, the Ethiopian member. This
has been amply shown by the
treatment accorded by the Ethto-
plan government and people tc
italian captured in Ethiopia al
the time following the Italian de-
feat" he said.
