1.5, WAR BUSINESS UNDER SENATE EYE —e Committee Watches to See No Aid Is Given ltaly or Ethiopia. By the Associated Press. Twenty agents o the Senate’s muni- tions investigation have been ordered to keep a sharp eye out for any sign that American arms manufacturers are doing business with Italy or Ethiopia. ‘This was disclosed today by Chair- man Nye, who expressed fear that a major war may result ficm the dispute between the two coantries. Stephen Raushenbush, chief inves- tigator for the committee. is in charge of the 20 agents, who also have been directed to watch to see if any Ameri- can bankers are working in the in- terests of either of the quarreling nations. No Activity Found Yet. “So far we have nct found any in- stance where American armaments have done business with Ethiopia or Italy,” Nye said. “The same is true for the bankers.” “I suppose [taly can take care of herself. I don't kncw whether Ethi- opia has any credit .n this country or not. “All we can do under present condi- tions, if we learn of transportations in arms or money with these countries, is to try to arouse public opinion against such activities " Asked for his opinion of the Italo- Ethiopian situation, Nye said: “I am afraid of it. It looks like a donfire that will lead to a disastrous conflagration. I am awfully afraid We will see 1914-1918 all over again.” Export Licenses Approved. Meanwhile, a move designed as a first step toward safeguarding Ameri- can neutrality in any wars of the future was gaining ground on the other side of Capitol Hill. The House Foreign Affairs Committee approved Yesterday the McReynolds bill, which Would require exporters of munitions to obtain Government licenses for each shipment. Other neutrality legislation will be discussed next week in a conference between State Department officials and members of the Senate Foreign Rela- tions Committee. This conference was suggested by President Roosevelt, and out of it is expected to develop a deci- sion as to whether any of the legisla- tion under discussion will be pushed at this session. DISABLED VETERANS URGE CASH BONUS Commandership Race Simmers Down to Four Candidates as One Withdraws. By the Associated Press. NEW HAVEN, Conn., July 20.—Dis- abled American veterans, on record for immediate payment of the soldiers’ bonus in cash, paraded today and pre- pared to elect a new national com- mander. ‘The commandership race had sim- mered down to a four-cornered fight with Paul Mercier of Utica, N. Y., New York State commander, announcing today that he had withdrawn in favor of M. Froome Barbour of Cincinnati, Ohijo. His action left as candidates Michael Whalen of Detroit, Mich.; M. A. Harlan of El Paso, Tex.; Owen Gal- vin of Minneapolis, M)nu and Bar- | bour. The veterans yesterday adopted a resolution favoring payment of the bonus in cash after Representative | Wright Patman, Democrat, of Texas had told them there was a “reasonable hope” that such legislation still would be enacted by the present Congress. The resolution was adopted in the face of strenuous opposition led by Joe McQueen of St. Louis, Mo., former national commander. He argued that the bonus issue might ruin the vet- ;:n.s’ opportunities for further bene- C. C. C.

YELLOWSTONE PARK, Wyo., July 20.—Trapped nearly 30 hours on a ledge in Yellowstone Canyon, Fred ‘Williams of Columbus, Ohio, C. C. C. worker, was rescued late yesterday by park rangers, Army officers and C. C. C. youths. ‘Williams and three other youths staried down the canyon wall to re- cover articles dropped by visitors to the Inspiration Point platform near the top of the canyon. The three turned back, but Wil- liams continued downward. In climb- ing to the rocks on the nearly up- right canyon face, his strength was sapped, his hands torn and soon he was unable to make progress either up or down. Plague of Roe Deer. A plague of roe deer which is affect- ing Mid-Atholl district of Scotland, is causing serious damage to growing hay, oats and corn. The area which has been most affected ‘lies between Pitlochry and Dunkeld. The cessa- tion of deer hunting in the district for some years is stated to be the cause of the increase of the herds, which have become so bold that pedestrians can get within 100 yards of them.

SHAW, Importer and exporter, of New York City, who has been named as Ethiopia’s first consul general and only diplomatic representative here. The State Department would not comment on the appointment, but it was understood that official announcement awaited only the receipt in Addis Ababa of a com- munication from this Government that the appointment would be acceptable. Ethiopia maintains no legation, so Mr. Shaw will be the ranking diplomatic representative of the African power in this country. —Wide World Photo. Ethiopia (Continued From First Page.) steamship Arabia sailed a few hours | later with about 500 troops aboard. Wartime promotions for almost 1,000 regular army officers constituted another step in preparation for the campaign. A decree published in an official gazette created posts for eight new colonels, 90 lieutenant colonels, 355 captains and 371 subalterns. The terse decree was published shortly after a government spokesman denied last night that Italy had been summoned to the League of Nations Council of July 27. It was almost coincidental with a statement in Pre- mier Mussolini’s own newspaper Il Popolo D'Italia, of Milan, which said that Ethiopia will be opened to civ- ilization by Italian picks and if neces- sary, Italian cannon. Undeveloped Areas Pictured. A front-page editorial pictured the rich undeveloped areas of Ethiopia. It would be Italy’s duty, the editorial said, to open the “great zome which for milleniums has been uncultivated and unpenetrated.” The semi-official Azione Coloniale commented on the return to Italy of 2,000 workmen unable to endure the climate of East Africa. Mentioning that 70 Italians had died of heat there, the paper pointed out that 150 had | succumbed in Italy during the same | period. The paper also stated that air-con- ditioned hospital ships are almost ready to enter service and will be sent to the region for the relief of the stricken soldiers and workmen. COMMERCE DEEPENS RIFT. Advance in Ethiopia Is Fought by Italy. TOKIO, July 20 (#).—The Italo- Japanese relations regarding Japan's stand on the Ethiopian controversy became farther snarled by commerce today. Italy contended that Japan's commercial advance in Ethiopia con- stituted Ethiopia’s violation of the Italo-Ethiopia treaty of 1928. The contention was made when Luigi Mariani, counsellor for the Italian Embassy, visited Fiji Amau, chief of the Foreign Office Publicity Bureau, to complain of the hostility of the Japanese press toward Italy. Amau, according to his own ac- count of the conversation, countered with a like accusation of the Italian press regarding Japan. He cited the publication of an officially controlled government organ which asserted that the treaty of 1928 obligated Ethiopia to “welcome Italian mer- chandise” instead, the publication continued, Ethiopia was admitting increasing quantities of Japanese | goods in violation of the pact. Amau said the Japanese govern- ment had been ignorant of any such treaty and asked an explanation. Mariani, without pressing the con- tention, promised to supply a copy to the Japanese government. BRITAIN MOVES FOR POLICY. Japan’s Cabinet to Meet Next Week to Deter- mine Stand. LONDON, July 20 (#).—The British cabinet today moved to formulate & definite decision regarding the na- tion’s policy at the forthcoming Italo-Ethiopian dispute. A meeting of the statesmen for this purpose, authoritative sources stated today, has been tentatively set for next week. The necessity for such a clearly- defined policy became apparent with the denial in authoritative quarters that Great Britain favored an Italian protectorate over Ethiopia. Reports had persisted that Anglo- French diplomatic exchanges had dealt with such a protectorate. The League itself would not coun- are members of the League. Pending the meeting of the cabinet, sador to Rome, is pursuing efforts to persuade Premier Mussolini to join the League discussions. Parliament will discuss the Italo- Ethiopian question Tuesday.

SEATTLE, July 20.—National Fed- eration of Business and Professional ‘Women's Clubs convention delegates wound up their bienniel conclave here today after disposing of & number of sex-equality resolutions. The convention, at its final session last night, adopted its own commit- tee's slate of resolutions demanding no discrimination against women and asking no special protective measure for business and professional women, but it rejected a “Lucretia Mott amend- ment” resolution submitted from the floor. Protect Industrial Women. This was rejected on the ground that its wording of equal rights for men and women would remove needed protection for women industrial workers. The convention left to the directors selection of the 1937 convention city. One of their final session moves was to elect Retiring President Mrs. Geline Macdonald Bowman, Rich- mond, Va., an honorary president for life. Miss Williams Elected. In a closely contested election Miss Charl O. Willilams, field secretary for the National Education Association, ‘Washington, D. C., was elected presi- dent by 14 votes. She defeated Mrs. Bowman, who said she had not con- sented to her name going on the ballot. The convention elécted Miss Earline ‘White, Washington, D. C., first vice president; Mrs. Rosa E.

LOUIS, July 20.—The Globe- Democrat said today millers in this territory have imported 410,000 bush- els of oats and 130,000 bushels of | corn from Argentina and 20,000 bush- els of Canadian wheat during the Spring and early Summer. The importation, the paper said, was made necessary by a shortage of domestic supply because of Federal restrictions and last year's drought. Some of the Argentine corn was processed in New Orleans and sold to customers in this district, while the rest was shipped by barge up the Mississippi River to various mill points in and about St. Louis, the paper stated. It said a considerable amount of Argentine oats has been supplied Fed- eral relief agencies in Southern cities.

I wanted to know if Mussolini Italy “To Civilize” Ethiopia Duty to BY MRS. WIIJ.IAIIIG'N * Editor ul Rl.lw -ul hlnd‘. Magazine By Wireiesen ROME, July 20.—Just 24 hours be- fore Haile Selassie I, Emperor of Ethiopia, appealed to his people to resist Italian invasion, Premier Benito Mussolini, in an interview with me at the Palazzo Venezia, said this: “After 50 years of well-meant but futile attempts, we are now determined to settle once and for all the problem of our relations with Ethiopia. Italy fully realizes the mission of civilization that she has to accomplish in Ethiopia, not only on her own behalf, but also on that of the whole Western World. Italy is determined to fulfill such a mission by all the means at her disposal.” ‘This statement comes from a Mus- solini who is strikingly in contrast to the Mussolini I interviewed seven years ago. He is fit. He is simple and direct. He speaks English carefully, academically, but with fine precision. He still sits at the far end of the great hall in which he receives visitors, but he rises and walks half way to meet his guest. He is calm, physically fit, trained down as though he had been through Muldoon’s courses. His eyes, still vivid and alive, are the eyes of the old Mussolini, but more disciplined. He seems sure of himself. I was most surprised by his calm; in fact, I found him more placid than the Theodore Roosevelt of my memory and the Franklin Roosevelt of today. I felt that he had not arrived at his Ethiopian policy impulsively. Knows World-Wide Situation. There is no doubt that Mussolini knows the European situation and knows his Italy, and it is not likely that any weak government will be able to change his policies. He is certainly aware of the internal dissension in France, and he as surely knows that even the government if England is divided against itself in many of its foreign policies. The economic prob- lems in France, the political disagree- ment in England, the unpopularity of German polities, the divided loyaities in America, the labor conflicts throughout the world, all make a back- ground upon which Italian solidarity of thought stands out. Mussolini knows definitely what he intends to do. He has known for a long time; there has been no wavering. His colonial policies are now what they have been from the beginning, and to an interested observer this would seem a logical time for him to put his whole house in order, and the people seem to be with him. The first question I asked Il Duce was: “Will it be possible for you to settle the Ethiopian problem without force? If you believe it must be set- tled in the interest of progressive civ- ilization, will it be by force if peaceful penetration fails.” Feels Peace Has Failed. “Italy has tried for many years,” he replied, “to estahiish friendly re- lations with Etalopia in a mutual in- terest of the two ccuntries. Sue has been the only power ‘n the world who has passed a treaty of friendship with Ethiopia, in 1928. If that treaty had been loyally complied with, 1t would have been possible to ertablish peace- ful economic relatioos and open that country to Western ctvilization. “The good will on the Italian side has, instead, been met by Ethiopia with stubborn oostruction. The treacherous attack on Ualual, a post peacefully held by us for many years without any cbjection from the Ethiopian side, was ncthing out the latest proof of the spirit of persist- ent hostility which hss lasted for a half century. Instcac of opening their country to our friendly pene- tration, the Ethiopians have concen- trated a huge force on our borders with & view to expelling us even from our colonies. Two More Classes Called Up. “If the Italo-Ethicpian dispute, of which Ualual, cnce egain, is not the cause but only one more symptom, cannot be solved in a peaceful way, it would be unfair (o lay the respon- sibility at Italy’s door. After 50 years of well meant but futile at- tempts we are row determined to settle once and for all the problem of our relations witi: Ethiopia. Italy fully realizes the mssion of civiliza- tion that she has o acomplish in Ethiopia, not only on her own behalf but also on that of the whole West- ern world. Italy is determined to fulfill such a mission by all the means at her disposal.” It was significant that Mussoini on that day, July 17, had called out two more classes for army service. Attitude on League. My next question was: “Is there any hope of the League of Nations solving the Ethiopian problem?™ Il Duce went on 1ecord with this “Italy has agreed to discussion of cedure. By this course of action Italy gave a mark of her high con- sideration to the Geneva institution. Italy, however, cannot admit as pos- sible a settlement by the League of a dispute between herself and a coun- try admitted as & member of the League under precise conditions that have not in the slightest way been I brought up the question of the treaty of 1888 regarding the free pass- peace and in war through the Suez regarded as valid the general reserva- tion that Lord Salisbury formulated at that time, and I asked him if there were any complications in the treaty of 1888 which gave Great Britain the right to close the Suez Canal for the course by any single power.” Question of Slavery. Since the abolition of slavery in Ethiopia is being urged in various parts of Europe as i 5 g ] i § ] gé o 3455 gs i i : i § & £ f; i World. Mrs. Willlam Brown Meloney, who interviewed Mussolini. under Lincoln’s guidance to efface it from North America, even at the cost of a long and difficult war.” I wanted to know if Mussolini thought that war in Ethiopia would lead to a general European conflict. “The Italo-Ethiopian dispute,” said Mussolini, “is & mere African and colonial problem. I fail to see there- fore, how and why it ought to lead to European complications. However, the Ethiopian problem will not be allowed to distract Italy from the task that, as a great European power, she has to fulfill in Europe. She is ready, in consequence, to face every possible emergency on this Continent. Hopes for Peace. “Italy has the warm and sincere hope that the peace of the world, when founded, as it must be, on justice, will not be troubled. Actual or possible international problems can be settled 1in a peaceful way, according to the pro- cedure provided for by the existing in- ternational agreements.” Because of the importance of the Ethiopian question at this time and the highly controversial nature of dis- cussion on it, Il Duce agreed to put in writing all the statements which I have quoted. At this moment Rome is the quietest capital in Europe. Mussolini has abolished all automobile horns, there are no street criers, the people move in a calm, happy, ordinary way. The flower market, like the “flea market” of Paris or the Caledonian market of London, carries on its barter in the same lighthearted way. In the night there are almost no noises except the pounding of horses’ hoofs and the feet of soldiers. “Earnest, But Not Gay,” ‘There is none of the excitement, the near hysteria, which marked the hours in 1914 when the peace of the world was shattered. In Rome there is not the strong emotional feeling which was evident in America in the Spring of 1917. The people are se- rious but seemingly not rebellious. ‘The companies of young soldiers I saw marching through the streets were not gay, but they seemed very much in earnest. They have fewer illusions than the soldiers of 20 years ago, but equal fervor. I talked to the chauffeur of a friend of mine. He has just been called to the colors. He was born in the fatal year of 1912. He was happy in his job and devoted to his employer. I saw him in the kitchen nibbling cookies the old Italian cook was tak- ing from the oven. A peaceable, likable young chap. “Will you go?” I asked him. He seemed amazed at the question. “Certainly,” he replied. I reminded him of his happiness in peace. “A man must do his duty,” he said. This seems to be the spirit of Italy and of Italian youth. -‘As one of them expressed it: “It is better to live as a lion for one day saving Italy than to live long as a mouse running for a hole.” (Copyright, 1935.

Doughton himself was one of those seriously considering—and obviously in favor of—the excess profits tax in place of the graduated tax on corpora- tion incomes proposed by President Roosevelt. He said he had no idea of the President’s attitude, but indica- tions were that Mr. Roosevelt would be asked directly to approve the change. At present, each corporation is al- lowed to declare the “adjusted” value of its capital stock. On its total in- come it pays a 13% per cent tax. On all income over 12!, per cent it pays an extra 5 per cent. Doughton indicated he thought a 12% per cent profit was a little high under present business conditions. A number of committee members are talking about dropping the 12% to 10 per cent or thereabouts. They suggested, too, that the tax on profits of more than 10 per cent start at about 5 per cent and increase in proportion to the profit. No definite top limit was in mind. Estimates Not Prepared. Estimates of how much revenue such a levy would produce had not yet been prepared, but under existing law $5208,000 was brought into the Treasury last year with a 5 per cent tax on profits over 12 per cent.

John McGinnis of the New City police. the captain said, that he stabbed to death Miss Mae Lukavich, 19. Gornik in his alleged confession in- sisted the slaying was part of a suicide pact to which the girl had agreed. She was killed in a clump of bushes in a parkway. McGinnis quoted Gornik as saying: “Pirst we went for a walk. We stopped at my home and I got my knife. Then we came here. We sat down and she reclined across my lap. She said: ‘Why don’t we die?’ “I threw her to the ground. Then I stabbed her in the breast and handed her the knife. She took it but she was only able to cut my shirt a little.” “She asked me to stop the pain,” McGinnis said Gornik told him. “So I pushed the knife into her heart. She asked me to kiss her. Idid.

CIRCUSES BANNED Richmond Takes Further Precautions to Prevent Spread of Disease. By the Associated Press. RICHMOND, Va., July 20.—The State Health Department today mapped plans for further supervision of the infantile paralysis outbreak as the State capital banned circuses and the number of cases reported since June 1 shot upward to 159. At least two circus outfits have been informed by Dr. W. Brownley Foster, Richmond welfare chief, that lhey cannot show here this season because of poliomyelitis. May Be Extended Over State. It was indicated yesterday this rul- ing on circuses might be extended throughout the Old Dominion as Dr. Foster revealed he had taken the pre- cautionary measure after consulting with Dr. I. C. Riggin, State com- missioner of health. Arthur W. James, commissioner of public welfare for Virginia, said he has requested courts to postpone com- mitments to the State's crowded in- dustrial schools until September 1 as !a precaution against the spread of paralysis. New cases continued to boost those recorded by the State Health Depart- terday. Three of the new cases came from the city of Richmond, bringing the capital’s total since June 1 to 26. General Qutbreak Feared. Dr. C. B. Ransome, Roanoke City health officer, has expressed concern over the danger of a general outbreak of the disease in that city. The third case was reported there yesterday. Unofficial reports from Lynchburg said a 6-year-old child died there from infantile paralysis late Thursday night. With the disease discovered in Henry County, the Martinsville Min- isterial Union had adopted resolutions urging that children be barred from swimming pools and theaters.

'CHILDREN'S WORKING HOURS LENGTHENED Beatrice McConnell Sees Danger to Youth Since N. R. A. Was Abolished. By the Associated Press. A slow return to “hazardous work- ing conditions and long hours” for children since the death of N. R. A. was reported yesterday by Beatrice Mc- | Connell, director of the Children's Bu- reau industrial division. “If the lives and health of children are to be protected,” she said, “there will have to be more careful employ- ment regulations to insure justice for these young workers.” She reviewed the accomplishments | in this direction of 44 State Legis- iatures in session this year. Connec- | ticut and New York, she said, enacted legislation establishing a minimum age of 16 for employment during school hours. Three more had previously passed such laws, Utah, Wisconsin and Ohio. A Montana law sets a 16-year minimum age for factories. The Connecticut law imposed an 18- year minimum in occupations “deemed hazardous to health.” ASTOR BABE TO INHERIT | BULK OF BIG FORTUNE Son Born to Former Ellen Tuck French May Be Named William. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 20.—The great Astor fortune—once estimated at $100,000,000—had a potential heir to- day in the tiny person of the son of John Jacob Astor, 3d, and his 19- year-old bride, the former Ellen Tuck French. ‘The baby was born yesterday, weigh- ing 7' pounds, and described, along with his mother, as “doing fne.” The baby boy's name, if his father adheres to a previous announcement, will be William.
