Ie.ac: ue of Nations meeting on fl10nday n xt it Is h o p ~ d that Italy wblc b hu only made vague ~tatements about the cau~ of her quarrel with Abyssinia, will explain to the league exactly what her grievances are. All tbat Is known of them is that she resents Aby s5 lni~n raids on her border In wh1ch many under Ih li ln connol ba\'e been killed: and she objects to slave-raiding by Abyssinian Irre,ulars. Th ~ re Is no doubt thai the Aby»lnlans are slavers and tbat they have many Bantu tribesmen working in the country. I The Abys)inlan Emperor. Ras Tararl, denies tbe right of Italy to Invade or seize his lerritory and has referred his case to the League of Nallon~. which. as stated. is meeting on Monday neu. July 29.
