"I apologize for being letc, circumstances over which I hed no control made that necessary.

With tribute Rt. Hon. R,‘B. Bennett, Prime Minis- terof Canada, closed one oi the most eloquent and con- vincing political speeches ever heard in Canada in the Charlottetown Forum Saturday night. His reference to order prevailing, was indeed , merited. Upwards of 5,000 persons were congregated in the, auditorium-the iargcstpoiitical gathering in the Province!‘

AGGRESSDR

Italy Believed To Be Accused 0f Breach Of League _Coven- ant As Report I Concluded. '

iByGeor-ge-llacnbleton Canadian PreS Staff Writer)

GENEVA, Oct. ii-Aftcr s. three hour sitting, the league of Nat- ions’ commlttec of six powers t0- night wus understood unanimous- ly to have found Italy guiltyof aggression against Ethiopia and of c breach ol the League Coven- ant. The committee, appointed Sat- urday by the League Council, con- sists of representatives of the United Kingdom, Chile, Denmark, France, Portugal and Rumania.

The committee sat late Saturday night and met again tonight. Its proceedings we're surrounded by deepest secrecy, each member pledging himself not to reveal the contents of the report.

The committee had before it two questions:

(l) Has an act of aggression been committed? and

(2) Has a breach of the Coven- ant been committed, and if so. by whom?

The committee's answer to these questions will not be published until tomorrow, but it is understood they will proclaim Italy guilty on both counts.

The league Council tomorrow afternoon will have before it re- ports of both the committee of 13 (ptepared under Article 15 of the Covenant) and of the committee of six concluded tonight on whether aggression has been com- mitted. Both reports will be sub- mitted to a council vote and this procedure is regarded as of vital) importance. The League assembly resolution of i921 laid down that it is for each state which is s. mzmber of the League to deter- mine for itsrli whether an act of aggression has been committed.

legally the actual vote is un- necessary. But on the other hand it is regarded in League circles as advantageous to have members of the council definitely express their opinion. They are then pledged one way or another on the applic- atJon oi sanctions.

It is proposed to follnw a sim- ilar course- when the League As- sembly mects -Wednesdsy. There, after the delegates have hsd their say, the question will be’ submitted to a vote. The debate on the vote will indicate what states are ready to impose sanctions and how far thcr are prepared to go.

ROIIE.~ Och. b-The Italian government tonight officially an- nounced the capture of Aduwh from its Ethiopian defenders.

The northern Ethiopian city, 808119 0! Italy's great defeat in 1898, was captured at 10.30 SJII. By troops of the second army corps, the announcement said.

The Italian troops began their assault at dawn, an official com- munlque stated, and immediately after entering the city the leading citizen!) the clergy, and others of the native population appeared be- fore the Italian high command to submit.

Meanwhile, an Ethiopian attack st Dobro, Sinner, near Aduwa, was reported repulsed.

The announcement said that with the capture oi Aduwa. a new line had formed with complete liaison between the various army corps.

A communique from the govern- ment said 18 Italpri airplanes had bombarded the towns of Ambaser- huts and- Tsbetcha, in Wslkalt Pro- vince Friday, with a number of cais- uslties among the panic-stricken populations.

Military strategists minimised the Italian victory at Aduws, where the forces of the former Emperor Moh- elik slaughtered an Italian army in 1896. They said such a victory pos- sessed sentimentel but not strategic importance e-udthat the real test would come later,

Both Ethiopians and foreign mil- itary observers here said they con- sidered the results of Italian fight- ing most meagre to date. To sup- POrt their contention, Etmoplam pointed out the situation on three fronts: '
