Ogaden, bordering on Italian Som- aliland, is the southern Ethiopian province in which lies Ualual, scene of the incident which brought the Itaio-Ethiopian conflict to a. crisis. One difficulty faced by the arbitra- tion commission entrusted by the I-cague of Nations with settling this incident is that both countries claim Ualuai. Selassie’; Offer The Emperor was asked whether he was willing to make territorial conceszions in return for financial aid for his program of extending civilization, and in order to avoid serious national and international consequences which might result from a. war with Italy, he said: "We do not wish to see the in- dependence of our country touched.

Cable) -In the wake of speculation on the probabilities of an Italo-Ethlopian war in the near future, it was learn- ed tonight the question of barring the Suez Canal to Italian warships ‘has not yet been raised in any di- plomatic form. Closing of the Suez Canal has figured prominently in discussion of the prospects of deterrent action by the League of Nations Council. it being taken for granted that the tri- power conference opening in P8118 next Friday is unlikely to find any solution of the dilcmna. A number of international lawyers here have always maintained that under the Covenant of the League, the Canal could be closed to an ag- gressor by zm unanimous vote of the League, other than the actual par- ties to the dispute, bui; it must be stressed this question has never been put to the test either in the present or any other dispute. ls Critical J.
