THE P This Changing World Little Entente Complicates European Situation by Threatening War if Otto Is Crowned. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. | This is a bad Summer indeed for the poor diplomats of the big powers. Hardly have they made up their mind to let Italy do whatever she wants with the Abyssinians when new troubles from an unexpected quarter arose. The Little Entente foreign ministers have announced that their countries wouid mobilize at once if Otto of Haps- burg was to be restored on his ancestral throne in Vienna. Why complicate an already compli- cated situation. ask the British, the | French and the Italian diplomats? * ok ox % To - the chancellories of these three powers it appears inevilabie that soon after the Italian troops start their campaign in Ethiopia, there will be another Nazi move in Austria and the whole political edifice built up in Austria by Mus- solini at the instigation of France and Great Britain would crumple. It is evident to the three powers that the present Austrian administra- tion cannot hold if Italy has engaged its military forces outside of Europe. To forestall another Nazi pustch, Italy, Prance and Great Britain have agreed to allow Archduke Otto to re- turn to Vienna and be crowned King of Austria. He is harmless enough; a youth without experience or will of his | own cannot become a menace to any- body. The advantage of having him play king in Vienna would be to turn the Tyrolese from their Nazi ideas. These mountaineers are still loyal to they would stand by their young ruler. A Hapsburg, on the other hand, would never condescend to get into league with the Austrian upstart, Adolph Hitler. Hence, it appears to the wardens of Austrig’s inde- pendence that the return of Otto to Viennag would avoid trouble in Austria. * k * % But because the Little Entente seems angel France, the Rumanian and the Yugoslav foreign ministers have an- nounced that if Otto returns to Vienna to be crowned their countries would mobilize immediately. And a mobili- zation in the Balkans is always . Do Tk Tk All the cleverly laid plans of the'| diplomats of the big three appear to have gone overboard.

Although the French foreign office has denied its intention to recall M. Andre de Laboulaye, reports from Paris say that the French Ambassador to Washington will be replaced this Fall by Count Charles de Chambrun. | Ambassador de Chambrun has a quitted himself brilliantly in Rome, where he brought about the new Italo- French entente.

The | Czechoslovak Minister to Sofia is scheduled to replace him. Veverka is trying to get the London Legation, but it appears probable that he will remain in Prague as undersecretary of state. R ‘Washington diplomats have received from the Traffic Bureau new tags' with the word “diplomatic” in large letters. The reason for this is a row be- tweer. a private citizen and a young | diplomat. The small numbers given to the diplomatic corps are duplicated and given to important Govern- ment officials. The only difference heretofore has been that the diplo- mats had on top of their number the word “diplomatic” in small letters. s A few weeks ago a young secretary of embassy had a telephone call from a gentleman who bawled him out properly. He accused him not only of having run into his wife's automobile, but of having been extremely rude to the lady after the accident. The diplomat was flabberguted he had never used bad language in his life, he said, and he certainly would not dream of being rude to a lady. Furthermore he proved an alibi. The day when the incident occurred he was in New York. Upon investigation it was found |out that the incident had occurred indeed, but that the person. involved was another person who had the same tag number as the diplomat’s wife.

SLUM CLEARANCE | WAITS ON OPINION Ickes Refers Miss Keyes’ Action in Court to At- torney General. ‘To fight or not to fight is the ques- tion Secretary Ickes has referred-to the Department of Justice in the face of court action brought by a property | owner, Miss Minnie Keyes, to save her 15 houses in Southwest Washington from condemnation. She would block the Government's plans for a $3,000,- 000 slum clearance project for colored residents in the section. i Secretary Ickes made it clear that he intends to be guided by the advice of the Attorney General in all such condemnation contests. If the Gov- ernment’s legal adviser thinks he can- not successfully defend the action in | District Supreme Court he will drop the Southwest section plans and start negotiations for land purchases in some other part of ihe city. Wherever it is possible, however, Ickes said he would fight contests in the courts Ickes said yesterday: “Miss Keyes can keep her houses for all we care. | We don't have to build there. The!

If one woman in Wash- ington and 3 per cent of the properly‘ owners in Louisville can hold us up | we can go to some other city.” The | public works administrator referred | to the halting of condemnation pro- ceedings in these two cities. Mr. Ickes believed the housing divi- sion could go ahead with its plans for a project on Rhode Island ave- nue extended. No condemnation is involved in connection with that site. | The Southwest section was selected, however, after a careful survey of the | whole city, for the section near the War College represents slum clear- ance aims. The site on Rhode Island | avenue is a large tract of vacant land. | Determined to press his housing | program in the face of all difficulties, Ickes yesterday secured authority to exempt housing projects from the rule of the work-relief program that 90 per cent of all workers be taken from relief rolls. This exemption will apply on all contracts in the future, as well as to those for which bids pre- viously had been accepted. ENGLAND'S PEACE EFFORTS SPURRED Cabinet Discusses Move as Peace Fnemls Urge Decuswe Action. By the luqomuu Press. LONDON, July 19.—Great, Britain's drive for peace between Italy and Ethiopia took on added impetus today from Emperor Haile Selassie’s appeal for defense of his empire. After a prolonged cabinet discussion yesterday of the crisis, the ministers were expected to hold further meet- ings' within the next few days in an attempt to reach a definite decision on Britain’s policy. Various peace organizations and ad- vocates pressed for decisive action, based on the League of Nations cove- nant. ' Discussions were continued at Rome and Paris in search of means to | avert an open conflict in East Africa. Some quarters expressed belief that the attitude to be taken by England before a special session of the League of Nations Council would not be set- tled finally until the eleventh hour, anticipating that the situation might | undergo rapid changes before the meeting probably about July 25. Suggestions that aggressive action might be taken by Great Britain, however, drew a denial from Capt. Euan Wallace, undersecretary tor home affairs. Editorial comment on Emperor Haile Selassie’s speech was noticeably ab- | sent. "Ethiopia (Continued Prom First Page) outbreak of war because of the fear | of attack from Italian bombing planes.

The Ethiopian Coptic Christians welcomed a pledge of loyalty and armed support of Mohammedans, given by the Somali Chief of Ogaden at the close of the Emperor’s address yesterday to Parliament. Speaking in Arabic, which w translated into the state language of Ambharic, the Somali chief declaréd that the Mohammedans would fight to the last man against any invader, | and cried: “Long live the Emperor and Ethi- opia.” The Coptic Christian archbishop, Abouna Kyrolis, head of the Ethio- pian Church, also preached to the as- sembly, urging unity in defense and assuring the Ethiopians that they need not fear death, as God was with them. Must Thwart Italy. The Emperor himself asserted: “Re- gardless of faith, all will face the in- vader in common unity, thwarting ma efforts of Italy to create discord be- tween Christians and Mohammedans.” A declaration of general mobiliza- tion, expected in authoritative circles, apparently was put off to the future, although increasing military opera- tions were in evidence. Some soldiers have already sfarted for the frontiers, their orders and destinations undi- vulged. The address was interpreted as a direct challenge to Premier Musso- lini, as the Emperor disclosed for the first time that Ethiopia accepted a tentative proposal by Great Britain for a three-way exchange of land to avert war—only to have it rejected by Italy. The Emperor pledged himself to | continue efforts for peace, asserting: “Should a peaceful solution not be found, Ethiopia, stretching her hands| to God, will struggle to the last man, but right up to the last minute wc shall persist in our efforts for peace.” Yet. confronting squarely the specter | of war, he said: “Be not deterred in your sacred task if duty calls.” GAS ENDS JAIL REVOLT | Prisoners Light Insecticide, but| Fail to Reckon With Fumes. * DAYTON, .
