As far as can be ascertained the wish of Emperor of Ethiopia to visit London preparatory to laying his case before the League is not supported by the Foreign Office. If officially discouraged he will apparently take a house here giving ill health as reason for nondeparture. Can now confirm that London ordered that there be no official reception at Jerusalem and considered Negus incognito.
