Italy Would Gain About TwoThirds Of Ethiopian Land African Nation Submits Denunciation of Anglo-French Proposal; Unfriendly Note Prominent at League Meeting (By The Associated Press) The hotly-discussed Franco-British plan for ending the Italo-Ethiopian war was made public today in a flurry of European antagonisms. , Plan Dismembers Ethiopia Publication of the plan's text revealed that France and Great Britain sought to appease Premier Mussolini's desire for the expansion of Italy with a gift of about two thirds of Ethiopia's territory to the country against which the League of Nations is imposing sanctions as an ag gressor. Geneva Reaction Strong The reaction in Geneva, where diplomats are as sembled for a session of the league's committee of 18, was prompt and unfriendly. Some of these diplomats declared such a plan violat ed the spirit of the league covenant and that the small er nations would turn it down. Italy Studies Proposal An Italian government (pokes- man said hit government eould make no comment on tho pro posals at present but tbat ' they are being examined with care. There are five points to the plan, ss follows: 1. Italy would get sovereignty over Tigre province, already con quered by her military forces, except (or tbe sacred city ot Ak sum and a corridor connecting tbat city with Ethiopia. - ' 2. The Danakil frontier would be "rectified" so as to glvt the Aussa region to fitmopia in run sovereignty, ; i. Tbe Somaliland frontier would be "rectified" funning from the Kettya-Somallland boun dary intersection to Gorrahel, west ot Guramdab, to the Inter section of tbo 45th degree and the British Somaliland frontier. 4. Ethiopia would get a free port on the sea, preferably As- sab, and a corridor leading to It; France and Great Britain would undertake to get from Ethiopia guarantees against the Importa tion of arms and ammunition. E. France and Great Britain would agree at Geneva . to. urge Emperor Halle Selassie to grant Italy a zone ot influence running from the new Somaliland Iron tier established under point 3 and extending all - across Ethiopia from the 35th to tbe 45th longi tude and . northward to the 8th parallel; Emperor Haile Selassie would have sovereignty over this zone of Italian Influence but would have an advisor who might or might, not be an Italian. : (Copyright.
