THE DAILY ALASKA VOL. XLVL., NO. 7000. EARLY SETTLEMENT “4LL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME’ WAR CLOUDS LOWERING IN EAST AFRICA Premier Mussiini of Italy Plans Attack on Ethiopia GREAT BRITAIN HAS FAILED, PEACE ACT|j Sentiment Is Growing in|( Rome that Fighting Only Solution LONDON, June 28— On the Twenty-first Anniversary of the assacsination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, at Sarajevo, Great Brit- ain suffered a setback in the role of peacemaker. Capt. John Eden is back from a continental tour bearing the report of the avowed Intention of Premier Benito Mussolini of Italy to go to war with Ethiopia. ; On Knees of Gods Capt. Eden’s only comment was: “It is on the knees of the Gods.” Diplomats discussed four other prospective ' moves on the world peace che:sboard. These are for an Eastern European Pact, Danubian Treaty, Air Locarno and land dis- armament. Fight Is Only Thing Concerning his attempts to dis- suade Mussolini from his African campaign, it is understood Capt. Eden will tell the British Cabinet that Mussolini stood adamant against any other solution of the Italo-Ethiopian dispute than the conquest of the East African Em- pire. ftaly's Threat Any attempt at Geneva to infer- fere with that plan, Capt. Eden will say, will lead to prompt withdraw- al by Italy from the League of Nations. Capt. Eden is understood to have outlined Premier Mussolini's re- puted plan of action as arraignment of Ethiopia before the League as unfit to belong or claim League's protection and will be followed by a demand for Italian protectorate over the Empire and with that fail- ing, Italy will invade Ethiopia to effect a “complete solution” of the border dispute by force. IN FAVOR OF WAR ROME, June 28~—Public opinion in Italy is swerying sharply in favor of war with Ethiopia. Capt. Eden’s visit seemingly did nothing to interfere with the surge of senti- ment for armed conflict. ——————— 6AB RULE 0 STOP DEBATE, TAX PROGRAM Drastic Action Ts Contem- plated by Democrat aders WASHINGTON, June 28—Gag rule procedure to kill off unwanted amendments to the tax on wealth program is considered by House leaders who spoke of such drastic action to block ‘moves to write in what some Republicans called bud- get balancing. If the new legislation is open for debate there are many fights pre- dicted, even on tariff.

Stroked by a husky young chap, “Red” Frodle (he won't admit his first name is Chester), the “Tally’s” eight-oared crew pulled up the half-mile course along the water-| front to a convincing 1'% length victory over the boat from the| U. 8. 8.

There wasn't much ceremony in‘ getting the crews away from the! starting line, just off the Lower City Float. The huge crowd wasn't there, for it was bunched at the finish on the Pacific Coast Dock. Start Is Fast ! At the sound of Starter Doug Gray’s pistol, the three crews dug into fast get-away strokes in order to get their heavy whaleboats in motion. Well-bunched,” they “swung off on the glassy smoothness of the harbor toward the finish. After the starting cadence had settled down.to a steady pull, the Zane, in the outside lane, was driving hard with 44 strokes to the minute. The Tallapoosa, in the center, was content with a . 38, while the Perry, closest to the shore line pulled at an even 40, and' commanded what slight lead| there was to be had. But, as the three white boats neared the Alaska Juneau Dock, the slower, more powerful swing of the Tally began to tell. At this point, the home eight apparently had a one-quarter length advantage over the destroyer crews.
