TALY having rejected the peace plan
proposed by the League of Nations
committee of five, and Ethiopia having
accepted it, the committee reported to
the league council that
its efforts to solve the
problem were futile.
The council thereupon
held a public meeting
and adopted unani-
mously the + recom-
mendation of its pres.
ident, Enrique Rulz
Guinazu of Argentina,
that it proceed under
article 15 of the cove-
nant, drafting a report
and recommendations
of the Italo-Ethiopian
Anthony Eden

embroglio.
As they did once before, the Italian
delegates walked out of the meeting,
and a spokesman explained that this
was because they “would not sit at the
same table with Ethiopia.” With other
prominent Fascists, the Italian repre-
sentatives repaired to the lobby bar,
ordered drinks and rather ostentatious-
ly consumed them and marched out.
In a secret session the council draft-
ed its report and framed its recom-
mendations; bur it asked the
committee of five to reconstitute itself
so it would be ready to take advantage
of any opportunity for mediation that
offered In the near future.

Great Britain informed Italy that

One result of the supposedly Im

Italy was the cancellation of the sail-
