§ 5. Mr. MANDERasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will consider the advisability of proposing that a special meeting of the Council of the League of Nations should be summoned to deal with the dispute between Italy and Abyssina, in view of the failure of Italy to pursue negotiations as arranged at the last meeting of the Council in the spirit of the Italo-Abyssinian Arbitration Treaty of 1928, and her action in endeavouring to use military force as a means of national policy?
§ Sir J. SIMONI have been informed by the Italian Ambassador that direct negotiations between the Italian and 1920 Ethiopian Governments have in the last few days resulted in an agreement for the establishment of a neutral zone in the disputed area.
