British statesmen are pressing for effective measures with a view to bringing the war to a close. But it ll realised that action, to be ei- fective, must be taken in common with other nations.

The Council's decision came ai- ter a long, exhausting day oi pri- veto and secret ‘ sessions. Yet itended in action which wrote history quicker than it ever wss written in Geneva before.

It was early evening before the Council called a public session, with the Italian and Ethiopian delegates again almost facing each other across the table. The Ethiopian delegate Teole Hawariat sat alone. prompted occasionally by Professor ‘Jose, his French adviser. Italy's delegate. Baron Pompeo Alolsi, showed little trace o: emotion ex- cept in lighting cigarette after cig- arette He appeared rather nervous, too, turning over pages of his documents.

‘Two reports were before the’ Council. First was that of the com- mittee of i2 which. after giving tho history oi the dispute, recommend- ed that any violation of the Cov- enant should immediately be brought to an end.
