Il Duce-Laval ETHIOPIAN TRADE POSITION 15 WEAK Products in Poor Demand, With Prices Low—Italy Adds Chemical Plants. B the Associated Press. The worst business situation in two decades confronts Ethiopia as she pre- pares for possible war with Italy.

Paris Mr. Laval began to hear things that aroused in him some uneasiness. !In dealing with Ethiopia, Premier | Mussolini did not adopt the French | tactics toward Morocco—the famous | Lyautey method. | That method is never to unite a country which it is desired to absorb by offending simultaneously all the elements in it, but to play one tribe against another, and, having made peace with the first, to use it as an ally in subduing the second; then with the aid of both combined to bring a third tribe to reason, and so on progressively. | It is to proceed slowly, step by step, | and above all to retain the aid of the | | Tuler by keeping him in nominal sov- | ereignty and by conferring on him sufficient honors and distinction to keep him happy. Mussolini Wants Action. | That method did not suit Mussolini | at all, because it did not fit his needs. What he needed was quick action and spectacular success. He began to | adopt & hectoring tone toward Ethi- opia. There arose frontier incidents be- tween the two countries.

The League is a favorite institution among the peace-loving Britons and a source of great hope. Britain needed to reinstate herself in the French good graces after the German naval agreement. She was willing to take the initiative against Italian ambitions and did, though with some reservations. However, Mussolinl set the Italian | press upon Britain perhaps a little tco hard. Other considerations arose that caused the British government to take the matter even more seriously. One was the growing concern of blacks in British colonies about the fate of Ethiopia, Reconciliation Doubtful. Now that the tripartite conference has collapsed, every one is wondering whether Premier Laval and Premier Mussolini can compose their personal differences. There is not much hope here that Premier Laval could ar- range a meeting which Premier Mus- solini suggests. His political future | is already somewhat jeopardized by the unexpected results of the January| meeting with Il Duce at Rome. 11 Duce needs friends now desperate- ly, and Mr. Laval is the best friend he could have on the continent. So maybe it will all be patched up har- moniously. Otherwise there is an un- pleasant alternative. France has one last weapon. It is understood that certain essential | | military arrangements made after th Rome agreement for French support | of Italy in case of trouble with Ger- | many are not backed by a written agreement. If Italy proves recal- citrant, Premier Laval might tell Premier Mussolini that, owing to his| subsequent actions, the whole deal is | off. Italy can restore her troops to the Franco-Italian border, because no French troops will be sent to reinforce the Italians at Brenner Pass if Ger- | many attempts to stir up anything in Austria.

WASHINGTON, V00000 TURNED AGAINST IL DUCE West Indian Hill People ‘Gather at Night to Bring His End. | Special Dispatch to The Star. PARAMARIBO, Dutch Guiana (N.AN.A) —Beside the tom-tom fires that burn nightly in secluded West Indian mountains, hundreds of black witch doctors are trying to put the voodoo on Mussolini. The hill people collect at night about dim fires pre- | sided over by magicians of the black | art, and in the day come down into | the village streets and beg for money | to buy new pictures of the Italian | dictatoz. | “Gi' a shillin’ to down Mussolini, | boss!"” more than one black man begs. “What do you do with the shilling?" The answer is always the same. “Fo' buy ah magazine wi' ah picture | of Mussolini in ft!"” “Why do you want his picture * * * if you want to ‘down’ him?"” “We cuts it out from de magazine and sends it up into de mountain so de magic man can make voodoo." Some Laugh at Magic. There are those who—usually at a distance—will laugh at the black man’s obeah, at his tom-toms, at the idea that a buzzard’s feather stuck | through a man’s photcgraph where his heart is, tree poured over the image and then set afire, could ever be instrumental | in bringing that man’s life to an | actual end. But strange things have | come from the magic-making that | goes on in the dead of night beside | West Indian witch fires. In the villages, the intense feeling against Italy and Mussolini has pro- duced mass meetings, placard parades and soap-box orators. In each island |may be seen many crudely lettered posters, most of them highly libelous (and sufficiently blasphemous, all of | them, to give Italian consuls and vice- consuls apoplexy. But no matter how much they complain about each new poster as it is discovered, and no mat- ter how quickly the island governments rush soap, water and bonfire brigades |'to tear down, wash away, or burn up the offensive works of art, others even | more colorful take their place before | | the next dawn. Ingenious Poster. One poster in Trinidad is composed of cut-outs of four piciures ingeniously pieced together. A chromo of the Brit- | ish lion had been cut from a travel poster and pasted on 2 white sheet so that the lion seemed to be chasing a | jackass (which had been cut out of another advertising poster). Over the Jackass' head was pasted a life-sized face of the Italian dictator. The pic- ture pasted over the lion's head was that of “Col.” Hubert Julian, the “black eagle” from New York's Har- lem, but now, so reports have it, a sky knight in Emperor Haile Selassie’s service. To the West Indians, all Abyssinia is competently impersonated and drama- tized by the Harlem boy who made good. Somenody has caused hundreds of lithographs of the Negro aviator, in | gold-laced uriform. to be run off and he is the hero of the hour. In Trinidad.

Davids said the purpose of the outing was to | stimulate interest in the Legions youth organization. | The outing will be free to all Sons of the American Legion presenting 1935 membership cards.

Quantities of arms :nd munitions, reported reaching Emmpu through the Sudan, were said to be | far short of what was needed to meet | the demands of tribesmen. Women clamored for permission to join the army, but it was evident that | most of those accepted would go to | the front as cooks, nurses or munition | bearers. 1l Duce commanded representation lof the entire government at the maneuvers involving approximately 500,000 men which are to be held along the Austrian frontier starting next Saturday. The order influded some 300 Sen- ators and Deputies. Military circles said it would constitute something | more than a sham war. The maneuvers would serve, they | said, to give final training to numer- ous regiments destined to face the dusky warriors of Emperor Haile Se- lassie in a struggle believed not only inevitable, but also imminent. Mussolini’s order was given after yesterday's gigantic demonstration for Luigi Razza. minister of public works, killed with six others in an airplane crash en route to the Italian military colony in East Africa. After marching for more than a mile behind Razza's bier, Mussolini halted the procession to deliver the order. The air forces also were increased by Il Duce’s order. The reinforce- ments number 16,000 men, of whom 3.500 are officers and subalterns. These additions will bring the total aviation strength to 40.483 men. Informed circles said that this new strength was further evidence of Mus- solini's determination to carry out his East African campaign to the limit and at the same time build his army to a point of defiance of any European obstruction of his plans, ETHIOPIANS RESTIVE.
