ITALY’S REPRESENTATIVE TELLS LEAGUE OF NATIONS TO HANDS OFF IN ITS AFFAIR WITH GREECE INTERVENTION BY LEAGUE WOULD BE UNJUSTIFIED, SAYS Signor Salandra Wants Entire Dispute to Go to House of Ambassadors GREECE, HE SAYS, TRYING ESCAPE RESPONSIBILITY Lord Cecil, of England, Added to Sensation by Declaring Arti¬ cles 10, 12 and 15 of League Covenant be Read in English. Geneva, Sept. 5.—Italy’s rep¬ resentative, Signor Salandra, told the council of the League of Na¬ tions that Italy would regard in¬ tervention of the League in the Greco-Italian crisis as unjustified The League of Nations, he as¬ serted, had no reason to inter¬ fere in the dispute which, he stated, belongs properly to the Inter-allied Council of Ambas¬ sadors. Senor Salandra further stated that Greece was trying to evade the responsibility bv ap¬ pealing to the League of Nations. He pointed out that several gov¬ ernments had not as yet recog¬ nized the Greek government. The statement of Signor Salan / dra created a sensation and the ' sensation added by Lord was to Robert Cecil of England, by in¬ sisting that articles ten, twelve ami fifteen of the League of Na¬ tions covenant be read in English and French and declaring that if they disregarded the League the whole settlement of Europe will be shaken. The articles named by Lord Ce¬ cil stipulate the clear right of the League to investigate when there | is danger of a rupture between two pations members of the I i, League. ; Further discussions have been ; postponed until probably tomor¬ row. In the meantime the state¬ ment of the Italian representative I has created quite a furor in polit¬ ical circles. MUSSOLINI WILL NOT RECEDE FROM STAND (By Associated Press:) ■Riime, Sept. 4.—In an energetic Statement before his council of min isters today. Premier Mussolini fur¬ ther emphasized bis determination not -jo recede from his stand in the con- j flict with Greece. He was firmly de¬ cided rather to withdraw from the League of Nations than to allow what he considered illegal interference in j Italy’s right to protect her honor, dig¬ nity and the nives of her subjects and to claim adequate reparation when she had been so terribly outraged. The premier in equally strong words stigmatized the attitude of British newspapers—which had ad¬ versely criticized his stand in the con¬ troversy. • i “Tlie threat of a fresh war is mere¬ ly a bogey intended to impress public opinion,” said the premier. “Sine? and ^either Italy Greece nor Jugo-Slavia can does not intend to make war the bog-ey vanishes in (bin air. It is true reports,say Albanian troops with cannon and machine guns are massed at the Greek frontier,, fearing com¬ plications; but such movements, more or less by regular troops, constantly «jre occurring in that* region.’’ TWO SUICIDES IN ATLANTA IN THE PAST 24 HOURS W.
