Othiopia is - more than «nother
pssault upon Africa and the Lea

weainst all the hopes for world
eace that were built on the ruins
f the Great War.
There ‘are four alternatives -on
which to establish international

The great Bismarck initiated a

SAILING CALLED OFF
Tension Said to Be Eased
Somewhat Between |taly
And Creat Britain
(By the Associated Presc)
The League of Nations couneil
acted rapidly today to warn Italy
and Ethiopia that any hostilities
before December 4 will pui the
aggressor nation automatically in
the status of committing an aet
of war against all members of the
League.
The council decided to draft a
report and recommendations for
peace in East Africa.
After the Italian -delegation left
the League secretariat building, the
council adopted a recommendation
to proceed under Article XV of the
covenant. The Ethiopian represen
tative accepted an invitation to at
tend the gession.
+ Aot of War
Recommendations thus drawn,
if adopted ; unanimously, would
mark as an act of war against all
League members any violation,
leading to sanctions.
Council members decided, too, ta
ask their five-power committee 'to
continue to take advantage of any
opportunity for conclliation, mnot
passing judgment on the failure

The council president, Enrigue
‘Ruiz Guinazu of Argentina, w&
posed that Article XV ghould be
considered as having begun te

could be called at any time. &
Eden Reiterates Stand
Anthony Eden of England to{d
the council Britain was “steadfast

Egypt. 5k
The acion was attributed to an
easing of tension between Bfitflgn
and Italy, and general Italian ODIR[-

possibility that the League might
take some constructive step toward
further discussion of the It‘?;
