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 The committee's answer to these questions will not be published until tomorrow, but it is understood they will proclaim Italy guilty on both counts.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. RUTTERIIAM REHIIAIEB (C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire) KINGSTON, Jamaica, Oct.

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