A STAR, WASHinGulON, - D, C, AUGUST 17. ROL CORONATION 0N UNLKELY | ‘herica Expso, o t“' - Fresented Officiah, Y Min- | ister to Rumania. Carol's coronation as King of RU: mania on October 15 will be attended | officially on behalf of the United Statek Government by the Amercan Minister | to_that country, Charles S. Wilson, veteran in the diplomatic service, ac- | cording to present indications. \ A special mission to the ceremony, ! such as left last we:k for Ethiopia for | R the coronation of his imperial majesty | Haile Selassie I, does not seem to likely, although a change in Depart- ment of State plans might be made. There is an American Minister resi- dent in Ethiopia, Addison E. Southard, also a veteran diplomatic officer of the United States, but it,was deemed de- | sirable to send a special mission to | Addis Ababa, capital of Ethiopia. instead | of designating Mr. Southard to Act, in | contrast with the Rumaniah situation. ' RN England Sending issions. ( For both coronations England and | some other governments will send im- | portant missions. One of the princes | N may attend the coronation of Carol \ while the Duke of Gloucester heads the | mission to Ethiopia, where the cers- mony will take place. on November 3. The distance to Ethiopia, which reached by going through the Red Set and thence into the Indian Ocean, makes it necessary for the missions to | Jeave now to get there by the date of the event. Because one branch of the Nile River | has its headwaters in Ethiopia, and the | Nile is vital to Egypt and the Egyptian | Sudan, in both of which countries Eng- land has paramount interest, the at: tention London is giving to the coro- nation of the Emperor of Ethiopia is readily understood. The interest of the United States in that country is of more recent origin. and also of more jmportance, commercially, than many Americans appreciate. During the time Minister Southard has bsen in Ethiopia the question of & dam affecting the headwsters of the | Blue Nile, to be constructed by an American engineering concern. has been | N\ acute and apparently is settled in favor of the American_concern after close serutiny by the British, who have & treaty with Ethiopia regarding the Nile | N which they have sought to have in- terpreted in a way to safeguard the | flow of water into Egypt. U. 8. Wares Find Market. American road - building machinery firms also have been selling goods in Fthiopia, and other American wares are finding a market there, though as yet the volume is mot significant in com- parison with some other nations. The ‘three men named by President Hoover to attend the coronation of the Emperor include H. Murray Jacoby of New York City, Brig. Gen. Willlam W. Harts and Charles L. Cooke, ceremonial officer of the State Department. They are considered excellently selected to uphold in the eyes of the Ethiopians, with Minister Southrd, the prestige of the United States. ‘At Bucharest the crowning of Carol will be given unusual attention by all the royal houses of Europe because of the hope they see in his restoration of & turning of the tide back toward mon- archies after the disastrous recession from monarchism during and following the World War. ‘The latest reports indicate that Queen Melen's reconciliation with Carol will be officially signalized at the coronation, When she will become Queen.
