[TALIANS SPURNING LEAGUE AGTIVITIES Force Basis of Assurances for Colonial Needs in East Africa. By the Associatec Press. ROME, August 3.—Italy can vision no assurances for the lifc of her colonies “without force,” a government spokesman said tonight. He asserted the hopes of the Italians that their country’s needs in East Africa may be met by treaties are exhausted, and insisted Italy places no great importance “on the work of the Council of the League of Nations,” although the solution to the Italo-Ethiopian dispute tentatively reached at Geneva “might be re- garded as a diplomatic victory for Italy.” The reservation made at Geneva by Baron Pompeo Aloisi, Italian delegate, concerning the competence of the League to discuss fundamentals of the affair between Italy and Ethiopia, was made because “Italy has dis- charged every obligation to the League thereas Ethiopia has not done so,” the spokesman said. Agreement Disregarded. Despite tire fact, Italy, France and England have reached an agreement at Geneva providing for the resump- tion of the Italo-Ethiopian Concilia- tion Commission and a review of the auestion by the Council September 4, Italy still feels the problem must be settled by Italy “in the most practical way,” the official said. Asserting Italy believes the life of her East African colonies cannot be preserved without a hinterland in Ethiopia, the spokesman said “we hoped to provide this hinterland through treaties with Ethiopia, but now we realize there is no possibility of & specific settlement, therefore there is no hope of ensuring the lifc of our colonies without recourse to war.” ‘The necessity for recourse to arms, he sald, was partly due to the fact Ethiopia “has been encouraged to expect the aid of the League of Na- tions, and of other nations. This has encouraged her to assume a bellig- | erent air.” Willing to Aid Peace. Italy accepted plans for a tri-party | conference, it was explained, because of her “willingness to co-operate for peace with European nations bound to | her by treaty (Italy, France and Eng- land are signatories to the 1906 peace | pact) and because Ethiopia will not be represented at these conversations.” Previously had stated that Italy did not feel any | was compelled to yield. But, seated | grrjye, final action by the League of Nations | on the “fundamental” dispute between | bent to the flail of rain, the silk of | Italy and Ethiopia could be considered | even remotely possible. ‘The spokesman, however, character- | ized resumption of the work of the conciliation commission with, per- haps, the appointment later of & fifth arbiter as a “logical step.” He explained Italy “felt friendly | toward the League” and had demon- | strated this friendliness by agreeing | to attend the present session of the Council, but he insisted that decisive action for final adjustment of the Italo-Ethiopian problem lay solely within the provinces of the disputant | nations, —_—— RECTOR LEADS THRONG IN DRIVE FOR PEACE| Plaza Across Street From Phila- | delphia City Hall Scene of Demonstration.

A fine muslin veil rested on her head, kept in place from mo- ment to moment by the black hands of a servant, as the wind caught it, or it began to slide. I understood that that form of dress had not changed since the time of the Queen of Sheba. ‘The prince was similarly clothed in white.

He took up his position confronting the prince and princess and began to crack that horse-tail I was told that this per- son was the “official fly-chaser.” My conversation with the prince was naturally through an interpreter. He began by asking me questions. “You come from Asmara. We are indebted to you for conveying the kindly thoughts of the French so far as here. But in the colony—what is happening?” “I am sure, highness, that you are better informed than I. But what do you think of the present state of affairs?” “The future is in the hands of God. His will will be done. We fear noth- ing. The Almighty has always pro- tected Ethiopia. It is written that - | Ethiopia shall endure as an inde- = | pendent realm.” “But on the matter of preparations —How are you organizing?” The victor of 30 battles smiled.

These famous Askaris of whom the Italians are so sure, it is among them that we have our greatest chance, be- cause, at the last moment, they will all desert, to become independent people once more. “Fundamentally, we are not dis- pleased with the great efforts that Italy has made in the colony. Perhaps one day—perhaps it is for our benefit that they have been working. One never knows!” “How long do you think the war would last?” I asked. “That can be looked at from two points of view,” he replied. “Either we shall win the first battle, and then everything will be over quickly, or the Italians will succeed in pene- trating our territory—and then it will take more than a year.” Prays for Peace, The prince arose. His eyes were raised to Heaven. His voice was grave and he spoke prayerfully: “In the Psalms of David,” he murmured, “it is written ‘Ethiopia reaches out her hand to God, and has need of none other!” We await the future with confidence. Perhaps the League of Nations, and France, for instance, who have received the call to peace, as it were a gift from God, may spread the thought of peace throughout the world. Let us hope for that.” Prince Seyoum turned his eyes to me. “Since you, & woman, have had courage enough to come so far, have courage enough to tell the truth, only the truth—that you have seen that the peasant in this country, with his plow, and with no other thought than of earning his livelihood, in common with the rest of the popu- lation, has no other ambition than to live in peace on his land.” The Princess Azede Asfaou hung & necklace around my neck. The prince presented me with a gold plaque on which was figured the lion of Judah, and said: “It is ordered by an imperial decree that when a stranger sets foot on Ethiopian earth the princes and gev- ernors shall see to it that no act of aggression shall happen to him. Therefore we hope you will reach home safe and sound and our prayers will be to God that he be with you on your long voyag: As I left Adowa, I turned to look for a last time on the little city which slept in the sun between its great red walls. Beside the road a peasant was clean- ing his arms while before him oxen hsauled on the plow. I questioned him. “What are you going to kill?” He bowed to the earth and picked up & pebble. “Any one who takes so much as a pebble or a blade of grass from my land!” (Covvright, 1035 by the North Amertean ey INFANTILE PARALYSIS DECLINING IN CAROLINA Only Four New Cases Reported and Total for Year Stands at 504.

Instead of the co-operation origi- nally planned, it appeared yesterday that a break was imminent between the Interstate Commerce Commission and a Senate investigating committee over inquiries into railroad reorgan- ization. As the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee began laying the ground- work for public hearings on the financ- ing of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific by Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and the Missouri Pacific by J. P. Mor- gan Co, I. C. C. officials indicated they would proceed With hearings on these and other reorganizations as scheduled. Chairman Wheeler of the Senate committee has asked that the com- mission hearings be held up until the committee has had an opportunity to check up protests from independent bondholders. There was & possibility, committee members said, if the commission pro- ceeded too far with reorganization, the Senate group would get into action with its hearings earlier than planned. Wheeler told Acting Chairman Meyer of the commission that infor- mation had reached him “that efforts will be made to push reorganization through with a view to replanning for corporate insiders control of the road before there is full public disclosure of the consequences of their past con- trol of these roads.” He said it was necessary to make the committee’s inquiry “useful to in- vestors during their trying dificulties and not merely useful for remote fu- ture purposes after the present situ- ation has been, as reports of present attempts have recently described it as ‘sewed up in a bag’ by insiders.” L R Ethiopian (Continued From Pirst Page.) governments with regard to the exact scope entrusted to that commission; “Without offering any opinion oa the attitude of agents of the two gov- ernments before that commission, cr expressed by members of the vom- mission itself, considering that the competence of the commission rests upon an agreement reached between the parties to the dispute; “Considering that it appears both from the note of May 15 and May 16 and from the declaration made before the Council at its meeting May 25 that the two parties did not agree that the commission should examine frontier questions or give legal in- terpretation of agreements and treaties concerning the frontier, and this .rat- ter, therefore, does not fall within the province of the commission; “Considering in consequence, the commission must not by its decision on the Ualual incident prejudge a solution of questions which do not fall within its province and that it would be prejudging that solution if it founded its decision on the opinion of the place at which the incident oc- curred, either under the sovereignty of Italy or Ethiopia. “While it is always open to the com- mission to take into consideration, without entering upon any discussion on the matter of the conviction held by local authorities on either side as to the sovereignty over the place of the incident, it is clear from the fore- going considerations that the commis- sion has not to take into account cir- cumstances that Ualual was under the sovereignty of one or the other of the two parties, but must concern itself solely with other elements of the dis- pute relating to the Ualual incident. “Take note that representatives of the two parties have declared they in- tend to pursue the procedure of con- ciliation and arbitration under condi- tions laid down in an article of the treaty of 1928, “Take note of the declaration of the two parties to the effect that four members of the Conciliation and Arbi- tration Commission will proceed with- out delay to designate a fifth arbi- trator, whose appointment might be necessary for carrying through their work. “Confident that a procedure will be brought about for settlement of the dispute before September 1, 1935, the Council invites the two governments to inform it of the result not later than September 4, 1935.” ETHIOPIA ACCEPTS. Selassie Sends Instruction to Geneva Delegate, ADDIS ABABA, August 3 (#).— Ethiopia accepted today the League of Nations’ formula to settle her quarrel with Italy. After hours of study, Emperor Haile Selassie late this afternoon made this brief announcement: “I have instructed my delegate to Geneva to accept the League's pro- posals as elaborated by Mr. Eden and Premier Laval.” Earlier, Selassie had expressed will- ingness to sit down at a conference table with Benito Mussolini in an effort to settle their difference. A foreign office official said the ruler was awaiting advancement of such a proposal by Rome. or Geneva, but that thus far no such move had been made. His only stipulation, it was explained, is that the talks be held on neutral territory, possibly in France. Expressions of good will toward Ethiopia came from a number of quarters as the government considered & decision on the formula adopted at Geneva to settle the dispute.

S. By the Associated Press. Canada asked permission yesterday to borrow $76,000,000 in the United States. ‘The Dominion’s application to the Securities Commission projected the first major foreign financing in this country since Canada borrowed $60,- 000,000 two years ago. War debt de- faulters are forbidden by law to sell securities in the United States. Canada’s application was for sale of a 10-year bond issue, paying 2!, per cent interest and maturing August 15, 1945. The proceeds would be used to retire $50,000,000 of 2 per cent prom- issory notes due September 1, 1935, and $26,000,000 of 4!; per cent C: nadiap National Railway bonds, gua: anteed by the government, to be called for payment September 15, 1935, at 102. Officials here noted especially the low interest rate and the intermediate term of the bonds. Heretofore, except for notes, Canada generally has financed on a 20-to-30-year basis. Canada’s June, 1933, financing con- sisted of $60,000,000 in 15-month, 4 per cent notes, while previously, in October, 1930, the Dgminion sold $100,000,000 in 30-year bonds. The new issue also represented the first major foreign financing under the securities act. Thirty-nine American investment houses were named by the Dominion as the proposed underwriters of the issue. Interest was to be payable on February 15 and August 15 in lawful money of the United States. The bonds were to be redeemable at Can- ada’s option on any interest date on and after August 15, 1943, CANDIDATES SILENT ON LONG’S “THREAT” Mississippi Aspirants for Gover- norship Pursue Hotly Con- tested Campaign.

VATICAN CITY, August 3—In a new and vigorous' protest against the church situation in Germany, the Vatican newspaper Osservatore Ro- mano accused the Nazi government today of “continued lostile spying” upon Catholic priests. It directed its bitterest remarks against a decree the paper said had been circulated recently by the Nazi government instructing police to use every means “against priests who abuse their privileges for political purposes.” “The church question in Germany,” said the paper, “is one which is pure- ly religious.” It said it was unjust to hurl the accusation of political ma- neuvering against the clergy and faith- ful Catholics whose enthusiasm for the German revolution waned when they witnessed constant violation of the concordat signed in 1933. The Osservatore charged that un- der the present regime privileges awarded under the concordat to preach and illustrate the Catholic doctrine are nothing more than a shadow of that which they should be. “The church does not engage in party politics, but when politics touch the altar, the church has every right to defend itself,” asserted the paper, “It is intolerable that a government should call the church’s attention to obligations it assumed, which have been loyally observed, while it (the government) takes such unilateral measures as a decree of sterilization.” ‘The newspaper accused the govern- | ment of permitting Dr. Alfred Rosen- berg, Nazi pagan faith leader, to hide behind official protection when churchmen protested against his writ- ings and lectures. Prelates said the newspaper’s re- newed protest did not presuppose a new diplomatic protest but merely outlines further causes of the strain between the Vatican and the Reich. R Chapel in Auto Plant.
