The Council Committe of Thirteen met suddenly to discuss the emergency | which had arisen. Its members were expected to confer frequently until Saturday, when a report will be sub- | mitted to the League Council. That a state of war existed, if not officially declared, was considered by | League officials to be evident in a | message from the government of Premier Mussolini, referring to “the warlike and aggressive spirit” fo- mented by leaders of Ethiopia “who have long been demanding war with Italy and who have succeeded in im- | posing war.” | Council Meets Saturday. | The League Council was officially | convoked for an emergency session | Saturday morning to deal with the | conflict. Both Italian and Ethiopian dele- | gations will be invited to attend the Council session, Italy because she is & member of the Council and Ethiopia because she has a right to sit tempo- rarily as a member during the discus- sion of the dispute. The grave problem now has arisen as to whether it is practicable to pro- | | ceed with the drafting of recommen- dations for the settlement of the dis- pute. It is the Council itself which | must decide this point. | Certain circles showed a tendency to press for a clear and official de- termination of war guilt—in other words, for a determination of whether ‘Italy or Ethiopia is to be hcld re- | sponsible for aggression. Three-Month Delay Decreed. Article XII of the covenant says | League members “must agree in no case to resort to war until three | months after an award by the arbi- | trators or a report by the Councll.” | This agreement was interpreted by League officials to mean that neither Italy nor Ethiopia could legally resort | to war for three months after the | Council makes a decision on the dis- | pute. League officials said they believed Italy would argue before the Council that she was not engaged in a war of conquest, but, rather, in a war of defense.

The government announced the Red Cross headquarters at Aduwa had been bombed by four Italian planes and dispatched another protest to the League of Nations. The Aduwa bombardment, said the government, wrecked 15 houses. It declared 100 more w-re destroyed by the Italian air bombs at Adigrat. Ethiopian sources expressed the be- lief that the inhabitants of Aduwa | and Adigrat were not warned by the Italians that the air attack was com- | ing. Some Ethiopians said they believed the attack was intended to invite re- prisals on Italians who still are in Ethiopia in order to establish justifi- cation for an Italian conquest.
