Geneva, Sept. 5.—Italy’s representa-
tive, M. Salandra, told the Council
of the League of Nations today that
Italy would regard intervention by the
League in the Greco-Italian crisis as
unjustified. The League, he asserted,
had no competency in the affair,
which belonged properly to the Inter-
Allied Council of Ambassadors. The
Italian government had expressed its
ii revocable opinion through him that
the council should not accept the
Greek request that the League take
up the matter. By her appeal, the rep
resentative said, Greece sought to es-
cape her responsibility.
