Like That Of 1914 M'arta, A?m. ?Europe "faces a crista 1 ik< that of 1914," a high French1 official Haid privately today. The three power Htreuu front Great Britain, Italy and Franco?iu broken, ho sadly admitted, and "France must resign herself to losing Italy's friendship." Italy's uppurcnt determination to comiuer Ethiopia wus described by one governmental authority uu a "test for the league. The league must triumph or there will he chaos." He recalled thut the "whole world went to war because Austria proposed to do to Herbla a good deal less than Mussolini Intends doing to Kthiopia." "The league may as well face the situation. It did nothing when Japan and Germany defied the league, but now it must stund or full on the issue." Italy's disregard for its leugue obligations, officials said, if continued, will mean "there is nothing to hold anyone." France has constantly asserted heretofore that it needed Italy and would do nothing to alienate thut nation, but today, ufter the collapse of the tri-power peace efforts, officials said, "France Is solidly with England." The French arms embargo Is recognized as more hurmful to Ethiopia than to Italy, but the French said it is unlikely to he lifted until some action is taken at Geneva September 4, when the council assembles. Kven (In- lifting of the embargo by Britain will not hurry the matter here. The Italo-Kthiopiau conciliations commission, under the shadow ot tiie I collapse of the tri-power negotiations, proposed to meet late today to re| sullio work. Nieotas Sot-rate i'oiitis, Greek diplomat, is tin- candidate mentiout>d as a fifth arbitrator, but the Italian spokesman said that nothing detunm ha<l been done about Him. The commission. lie added, might continue witli only four members. Meantime the pressing problem of Italo Kthiopian peuce rests with the league. The immediate comment <>i a spokesman lor the British delegation was that "nothing can be done at 1' ?le va to prevent war." Anthony Kdeti, Britain's representative, and Baron Pompeo Aloisi, p-pre1 scaling .Mussolini s government, picked up and took witli them the key to tiie deadlock which followed Italy's rejection of the Franco-British proposal that limited Ktnperor llaile Selassie's control of his African empire. Simultaneously France's Premier Kuval announced his determination to seek compromise in constant sounding or both Italy and England next week. This was regarded as an echo of French fears that the league council. when it meets on September 4, will be powerless to find a Solution to the dispute which the tri-power conference failed to mediate. The British place the responsibility of the parley's failure at the door of Italy, explaining that II Duce not only rejected the Anglo-French plan but also (ailed to offer a substitute. The spurned proposals would have provided for Franco-British renunciation of further economic privileges In Ethiopia In favor of Italy; aided Italy by securing loans for developing its colonial possessions and yielded to Italy political privileges in the appointment of technical advisers and department heads of customs. II Duces answer, telephoned to 1- 1/vt^t t <t tvo ?X. -1 I ?'?% ? *.'?? %? t* UIIIUII V 1 WfcJ V to the Britsh delegation to have been accompanied by what amounted to a demand lor complete political control of the Kthiopian empire. Italy, the spokesman continued "will go to Geneva September 4 to defend its case." but neither France nor Britain experts the league to prevent \\ a r Aloisi and his delegation had "nothing to say." and rested on an insistence that it is up to others to woo Mussolini away from his plan. French observers hopefully suggested the possibility that London might call another conference before the league Council meets, but the Britisli spokesman toppled that hope by saying "we went to the absolute limit and the only thing left now is the league." Laval, who supported the British, but who is nevertheless anxious to keep Mussolini's friendship to avoid danger to the league by possible withdrawal of Italy, insisted that efforts to find a way out of the deadlock be continued "through diplomatic chan nels." France saw in the British plau only the danger of wrecking the league through Italy's resignation since Mussolini's apparent determination is either annexation'or complete control of Ethiopia. That, neither Britain nor Ethiopia, both league members, will not grant. French observers saw their country's position at Geneva extremely precarious. Some painted a gloomy picture of the league's collapse or weakened to the point of uselessness if Italy withdraws. In that event they saw France standing alone faced with a renewed threat of the AustroGerman union. General News Notes Germany hus completed two auhmarlnt-M and put them In service.
