munique today stating it was in
formed there were “grave differ
enceg of opinion” between Premier
Mussolini and Gen. Emilio De
Bono, his commander in Ethiopia,
leading the latter to offer his res
ignation.
The official communique was is
sued shortly after mmperor Haile
Selassie informed the Associated
Press: “I will not discuss peac2
while a single Italian soldier re
mains on my so0il.”
At the same time, government
officials stated that Ethiopians
who have escaped from Tigre
province, which has been cccupied
by De Bono's forces, said that
Ethiopian men, women and even
children were being compelled by
their conquerors to work like
slaves on road construction.
Communique Follows
The communique stated:
“Informed persons say grave dif
ferences of opinion exist between
Musolini and his general staff in
liritrea. Mussoiini is most dis
pleased with the stagnation of mil
itary operations around Aduwa,
seriously affecting the prestige of
the Eritrean army.”
“The king of Italy is reported to
have interceded in order to termi
nate the dispute.”
The emperor's statement, given
as a firm answer to reports of pos
sible peace overtures, was given
directly to the Associated Press,
The correspondent informed the
emperor that Great Brifkin had
refused to reduce its fleet in the
Mediterranean.
The emperor exclaimed: “This
proves Great Britainis determined
not merely by words but by the
might of her navy and army, to
compel all outlaws to respect the
covenant of international justice
and the principle of righteousness
on which the security of the world
rests.”
