League aims to avoid friction at disarmament talk
Geneva and France outlined plans for a League of Nations disarmament conference while steps were taken to curb inflammatory speeches. The committee urged President Savedra Lamas to halt speakers deemed harmful to international relations. Del Vayo, Delboe, and Eden were named among first speakers addressing the Spanish Civil War and broader disarmament issues. Mussolini reportedly urged conquest of Ethiopia to justify excluding Haile Selassie’s delegation, with speculation the World Court might rule against Italy’s Ethiopian actions. Haile Selassie departed for Ethiopia amid these tensions.
