NO CHANCES TAKEN ON ROUTE TO INDIA London Press Asserts Navy Is Too Weak to Insure Empire “Life Line.” By the Associated Press. VALETTA, Island of Malta, August 24 —British plans to throw a tight ring of warships around the Suez Canal, vit:l spot in the Italo-Ethi- | oplan dispute, were announced offi-| cially today. The crack vessels of | the Mediterranean fleet will leave Malta August 29 for points in and around the Suez territory. At the same time the government ordered construction of public air raid shelters throughout the island. Leaf- lets were distributed instructing the public how to withstand air attacks. (A similar precautionary campaign was launched in England some weeks 8g0.) The biggest concentration of the fleet will be at Alexandria, Egypt. The ships Revenge and Valiant, the first and third cruiser squadrons, the aircraft carrier Glorious and other warships will ride at anchor tbere. Other units will go to Suez, Port Said and Ismailia, the Red Sea and | Mediterranean entrances to the canal, and a point midway in the canal, re- spectively. Other vessels will be sta- | tioned a¢ Haifa and Acre, Palestine, | and at Famagusta, Lanarka and Limassol, in Cyprus, about 250 miles from the canal. It was denied officially that the Mediterranean fleet would be strength- | ened. The first destroyer squadron and the first submarine flotilla will | remain at Malta. | Official circles in London identified the ship movements toward the Suez as merely part of the “cruise pro- gram.” Reports were current that a brigade of British troops also would be posted at Suez, which hitherto has been unoccupied ‘A dispatch from Cairo reporting the recall from leave of Spinks Pasha, inspector general of the ' Egyptian army, was regarded as significant.) WAR TALK FILLS PRESS. - InImpending Stars show various stragetic powerful sea forces. A 100-mile-long ribbon of water stretching from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea has assumed major im- portance in the Italo-Ethiopian con- flict because of its strategic role as | “gateway to Ethiopia.” World War-like scenes of military and naval activity are in prospect along the ordinerily peaceful water- way which French engineers cut across the Isthmus of Suez 66 years ago, ac- cording to Associated Press dispatches rom Europe, where Great Britain is reported rushing ships and planes to guard the canal.

(Senator James P. Pope, Democrat, of Idaho, whose European visit ereated discussion in Washington and resulted in implied criticism in a resolution by Senator La Follette, has written the following article for the Yssociated Press to clarify his position.) BY SENATOR JAMES P. POPE. (Copyright; 1935, by the Associated Press.) LONDON, August 24.—The stir concerning my visit to Europe has been | very surprising because it is based on erroneous information. Senator Pope. Any one who draws an analogy be- tween my visit and that of Col. House (diplomatic adviser to former Presi- dent Wilson) is badly mistaken or simply speaking facetiously. Prior to leaving Washington I re- peatedly stated I was going abroad as an individual citizen, in no way rep- | resenting the Government. Since arriving I have called upon several leaders of thought, assuring them I represented no one but myself. Senator have repeatedly gone abroad at their own expense to talk with of- ficials and citizens of foreign govern- ments to gain information which they felt might be of interest or importance in the conduct of their senatorial business. Such describes my visit. Wants War Threat Background. I am endeavoring to gain knowledge of what I consider a very critical situ- ation. The Italo-Ethiopian affair truly is the most critical problem confront- ing the world since 1914, and I desire to ascertain its background and what world leaders think and are going to do to prevent another war from in- volving their own and, possible, all other countries, The world today is traveling in the to reach the same destination—peace. torpedoed. e same ship and all nations endeavor ‘Whether we like it or not, attempts | to isolate ourselves from the other passengers do not help if the ship is To endeavor to find a way to keep that ship afloat is a much more we are not even aboard.

When war causes the prices of | wheat, cotton and other essential com- | modities to skyrocket, our producers are going to sell. When we send our ships into war zones with this produce they will be sunk and our citizens killed. I do not believe public opinion would permit this to pass unnoticed. No man or group of men control the fighting forces which would sweep the United States into trouble in case of a new world war, and no finely phrased isolationist doctrine will keep us from becoming involved. Of course, I do not think we should join trouble which arises. I do state America must stay out of war, and in order to do so should try to prevent situations likely to lead to war—by of the panic into which troops some- |of various tribes are creating a na- | co-operating and keeping war from starting.
