ESTABLISHED 1873 THE BISMARCK BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1935 Sn FACES CHAMBER 70 EXPLAIN HIS PART IN RBJECTED PLANS Italians Striving to Stir Up Re- volt Among Natives in Ethiopia Province RESUME GUERILLA TACTICS Rome Summons Naval Experts to Prepare for Eventualities in Mediterranean (By the Associated Press) Premier Laval of France told a par- tially hostile chamber of deputies peace between Italy and Ethiopia had been “faultless.” He sought a parliamentary vote of confidence which would reaffirm the power of his government to guide the destinies of France. Laval’s problem followed closely that of Prime Minister Stanley Bald- win a week ago in England after the League of Nations figuratively tossed the peace plan into the wastebasket. Baldwin was sustained after For- eign Secretary Sir Samuel Hoare re- signed. The outcome of the debate in the French assembly remained in doubt as Laval canvassed the mem- bers for support of his foreign policy. Calls Proposals Dead Premier Laval told the French legis- lators that proposals toward ending the war in East Africa were “dead— but the door to concilation remained open.” Laval declared he never opposed “painful” sanctions against Italy. “The only question,” he declared, “4s whether I have served the interests of my country well, failed in France's undertakings within the League of Nations, or compromised. our safety for the future. “At no time, either at Paris. or Geneva, did I slight my undertakings.” While the politicians on both sides argued the potential merits of the ill- fated peace proposal, the war in East Africa moved on. Italians Arouse Natives The latest Italian action, the Ethi- opian government reported, consisted of efforts to stir up a native revolt in Gojjam province against payment of imperial taxes. Official sources at Addis Ababa denied the revolt was al- teady under way. Troops in the province northwest of the capital are strong enough to deal with prospective outbreaks, the gov- ernment, reported, charging partisans of Ras Hailu, former governor now in jail for negotiating with the Italians, with fomenting unrest. With the holiday breathing spell terminated, Fascist headquarters at Rome reported resumption of guerilla and aerial warfare on both Italian fronts in Ethiopia. An official communique from Rome announced renewed clashes in the north in which the Ethiopians were said to have suffered heavy losses and the invaders lost nine men with 50 wounded. Planes Bomb E\ Bombing planes to the south dropped explosives on native concentrations menacing Gen. Rudolfo Graziani’s army at Dolo. Italian officers were reported mov- ing at Rome to prepare naval forces for prospective acti in the event additional sanctions are voted against the declared aggressor nation. Approximately 13,090 naval special- ists, the majority of them trained in gun and powder rooms, were reported to have been called back into service, They would be utilized in eventual- ities following imposition of an oil embargo now awaiting decision at a postponed league council meeting. Olson Will Undergo Operation Tuesday St. Paul, Dec. 27.—(#)—Governor Olson said Friday he will leave for Rochester, Sunday to undergo an oper- ation to remove a polypus, a mem- branous growth at the entrance of the.stomach. The operation is sched- uled for Tuesday and the governor said he expected to be in the hospital not more than 12 days. The ulcer from which he suffered previously, the governor said, completely healed.

ECONOMIC RECOVERY STIMULATED BY AAA, | Points Out That Industry Earn- ings Have Gained in Ratio to Farm Income New ‘York, Déc, 27—(#)—Chester C. Davis, AAA administrator, Friday sought to show that income registri- | bution “effected through the Triple’ A, started general economic re- covery.” Before the American Farm Eco- | nomic association and the American: Statistical association, Davis outlined | the operations of the agricultural ad-‘ justment program arid emphasized | that a balance of industrial and ag-| ricsltural prices “is. vital to the re-' covery process.” “The operations that made up the agriculture adjustment im are; not to be credited for the whole of ; the improvement,” Davis said. “Oth-! er national policies have contributed | greatly, notably the devaluation of the dollar and farm credit relief... .| “It is difficult to measure the rela- tive influences of the different causes of farm recovery . .. I simply wish to establish the fact that the AAA has certainly accomplished one of its de- clared objects: under it, farmers have increased their incomes.” : He declared a measure of industrial recovery had followed farm recovery, and attributed “an important part of the general improvement” to increas- ed rural buying. “The time sequence . . . seems to give prima facie évidence that farm recovery has promoted industrial re- covery... . It is highly significant | that industrial payrolls and the av- erage factory worker’s earnings have increased since 1933 in abdut the same proportion that farm incomes have increased.” North Dakota Still Opposing New Deal New York, Dec. 27.—Opposition to! the New Deal, in 41 states gaining 82 per cent over last week, stood at 58.51 per cent Friday in the Literary Digest poll on the “acts and policies” 680 . +.. 10,014 3,601 Death Takes Former Resident of Mandan Mrs. W; cre ied in the hoe: | | ton charged that instructions CHESTER DAVIS SAYS; ‘reorganized last March with creation ‘SHOW, JANUARY 7-10 |announced Friday by Phil W.

The Uruguayan foreign office handed passports to Alexander Min- kin, the Russian minister. It also gave passports to the other members of the Russian legation. ‘The action was regarded as part of strong precautionary measures against rumors of an armed rebellion inspired by Communist sources. Uruguay had been the only South American nation to recognize the gov- ernment at Moscow. The break was largely a ramification of the Com- munist uprising in Brazil, Uruguay’s neighbor, last month.
