GENEVA, June 30.—Delegates to the Assembly of the League of Na- tions broke into an uproar today when Haile Selassie, defeated Fm- peror of Ethiopia, went before them to plead his cause against victorious Ttaly. Before he went to the rostum he heard the conquest of his nation de- scribed as “a sacred mission of civili- zation.” This declaration was contained in & memorandum from the Italian gov- ernment. It was read to the Assem- bly while the little man who had been “King of Kings” sat in the fifth row. The Italian note said Italy “views the work she has undertaken in Ethi- opia as a sacred mission of civiliza- tion” and the work will be carried out “according to the principles of the | League covenant.” Advances to Rostrum. Huile Selassie, granted the right to speak, went forward from his chair. | As he reached the rostrum a flood of shrieking and whistling swept across the assembly from the galleries. Within a few moments the big hall was filled with confusion. Attendants attempted to eject Fascist demonstrators, but were un- able to restore order. For five minutes the hall devoted to the cause of peace was chaotic, then a platoon of police arrived. The policemen at once began weed- ing out the trouble makers. The demonstrators taken into cus- tody were carted away from the League palace in taxicabs and jailed, previous to an investigation. | When order had been restored in- | side the hall, Hajle Selassie began to speak. | The Italian note to the League ex- pressed the conviction that “the League requires adequate reform” and said Italy is willing to participate in this reform. Belgian Reads Note. The note, read by Premier Paul van Zeeland of Belgium, President of the Assembly—no Italian delegates being present—stated the people of Ethiopia needed to be directed like other Afri- cans in the forms of civilization and economic, social and cultural progress. Italy announced that natives would be seated in the council of the govern- ment in Ethiopia. Italy pledged that natives would not be compelled to perform other military duties than local police work and ter- ritorial defense. ‘The Assembly convened to the ac- companiment of rousing cheers for Selassie after its Steering Committee had firmly upheld the right of the conquered Negus to make a desperate appeal for “justice.” The committee decided there could be no question of Selassie’s right to address the Assembly. De Valera in- sisted at the steering meeting that the subject of the Negus' right to speak could not even be discussed. ‘The Hungarian delegation had moved (See GENEVA, Page A-4.) —_—— 500 TAXICAB DRIVERS RENEW DALLAS STRIKE Six Companies Affected by Third ‘Walkout in Month—Union Charges Dismissals.

H.|| Readers’ Guide In Tiny British Torpedo Boat By the Associated Press. PORTSMOUTH, England, June 30. —King Edward put to sea for half an hour today in his majesty's newest fighting ship—a tiny torpedo motor boat with the death-dealing power of a submarine. It was the King’s first naval in- spection since his accession. He went through the shore estab- lishments at Portsmouth, then board- ed the boat, the first of 12 designed by Scott Paine, the famous motor boat racer. The boat immediately headed out across the harbor. As it approached its maximum speed of 60 miles an ; hour great waves were thrown up by the prow. The stern was buried so low in the water that, from the shore, the after portion of the boat appeared submerged. Off Spithead an officer making up one of the crew of five, fired a torpedo to show the King the workings of the main armament of the craft. Naval experts said these torpedo motor boats costing one-thirteenth as much as & destroyer, may prove the navy's answer to the air menace. Their high speed and small dimensions make them difficult air bomb targets. Each boat carries two torpedoes, several depth bombs and & number of machine guns. 4 Amusements Answers to Questions Lost and Found News Comment Features.A-11 --A-14 A-13 B-10 Sports _ _C-1-2-3 Washington Wayside_...-A-2 Women's Features......-B-13 | Ernest W.
