Ch WASHINGTON, BRITAIN WARNS LEAGUE WAR WOULD SEVER TIE; DUCE ARMS 50,000 MORE Enforce Settle-i ment, Insists | Hoare. 1 “BLACKMAIL,” SAY ITALIANS English Threat to Resign Is Read by Ttaly. By the Associated Press. GENEVA, September 11.—Great | Britain threw its whole weight behind | the League of Nations “covenant in its | entirety” in a declaration of policy by Sir Samuel Hoare, British foreign minister, before the League Assembly today. At the same time, Sir Samuel warned the world that if the League | fails to enforce a peaceful settlement of the Italo-Ethiopian dispute the “main bridge” binding England to the | continent will have collapsed. The bold pledge to back the covenant | “in its entirety” was interpreted as an indication that Great Britain mll not shrink from sanctions if these be necessary to quench the African blnze Threat to Quit League Seen. The Italian delegates immediately | | interpreted the speech as a British | “threat to quit the League unless the League obeys England.” Even the phrase “British blackmail” was heard in Italian delegation circles. | ‘The delegates of small nations, how- ‘ ever, generally hailed the British dip- | lomat's speech with enthusiasm. Said | one delegate: “It was not only a his- | toric speech, but the greatest speech | ever delivered before the League by a | British statesman.” The delegate of one prominent neu- tral country said later the blunt Brit- ish declaration was not to be inter- | preted as an ultimatum to Premier Mussolini, but rather as an emphatic warning to Italy to think twice before rejecting the “last-hope” compromise likely to be offered soon to Il Duce. Veiled Attack on Fascists. ‘What irritated the Italians particu- larly was a veiled attack by Hoare on the Fascist regime when, referring to the dangerous features of government propaganda, he said: “Too often artificial excitement of national feeling is made the excuse for the repudiation of obligations or for a threat of force.” Sir Samuel suggested a peaceful re- organization of the distribution of the world colonial and raw materials, but it was waved aside by the Italians as “too vague to be interesting.” | Tecle Hawariate, the diminutive | Ethiopian delegate, addressed the As- sembly in the afternoon in fluent French, pleading for the continued in- dependence of Ethiopia. | As he spoke, Baron Pompeo Aloisi, | the head of the Italian delegation, | sat by in an attitude of studied indif- ference. Hawariate said he planned to say nothing which would aggravate the situation between his country and Italy. He described Ethiopia as wel- coming help for her development pro- vided that help were disinterested. | Laval to Phone Mussolini. | Outside the Assembly chamber it was learned that Premier Laval of | France plans to telephone Premier Mussolini later today in a last appeal for a conciliatory attitude. French quarters. which feel France's difficult position deeply, said they be- | lieved Laval would point out France's | necessity to uphold the League prin- ciples emphasized so forcibly by Sir BSamuel Hoare, if the League is to be saved from collapse. Hawariate announced that Emperor Haile Selassie in the spirit of concilia- tion, was ready to accept any sugges- tions which are reasonable. He asked that the League of Na- tions immediately dispatch a commis- sion to Ethiopia to inquire into the | charges brought against the empire. | He denied the truth of literature re- | cently circulated against Ethiopia. “We believe,” said Sir Samuel in cutlmmg the position of the British | empire,’ “that backward nations are, | ‘without prejudice to their independ- | ence and integrity, entitled to expect that assistance will be afforded them by more advanced peoples in the de- ‘ velopment of their resources and the building up of their national life.” Resists Unprovoked Aggression. The British statesman declared Great Britain stands for the steady, collective resistance to all acts of unprovoked aggression. His statement was a clear allusion to the Italo- Ethiopian crisis. Delegates listened in rapt attention and crowds which plcked the gulleries (See GENEVA, Page 4.) Social Security What It Means ... How It Will Work ++« What It Hopes to Accomplish . . .

NURNBERG, Germany, September 11.—Reichstuehrer Hitler, in a proc- B | 1amation read to the Nazi party con- vention, rapped President Wilson's famous 14 points today, and the dele- gates assembled from all Germany burst into a bedlam of applause. “Where are the 14 points of Wil- son and where is the world today?” “The Reich (Germany' is no longer a football and no longer but now is in security—in securit; not by pacts, but by the real power | of the nation and by the firm will of its leadership.” President Wilson, early in 1918, offered to the world in gereral and to Germany in particular a program of 13 points which. served as the basis for the final conclusion ot peace ending the World War and for the eventual establishment of the League of Nations. The Points Summarized. | In brief, these were: 1. Open treaties reached openl\' with international diplomacy conduct- | ed openly. | 2. Freedom of the seas. 3. Free international trade. 4.

The establishment of the sover- | | eignty of Turkey along lines of na- tionality. 13. The establishment of an inde- pendent Poland. 14. The formation of a “general as- sociation of nations.” Security Held Sure. The proclamation continued: “We Nazis intend to live in peace | and quiet with our neighbors.

By the Associated Press. Representative Snell of New York, House Republican leader, charged to- day that President Roosevelt forced “a mass of unconstitutional legisla- tion” through the recent session of Congress with the deliberate objective of building up a campaign issue of changing the Constitution. | That issue, he said, the Republicans welcome. In an attack on the New Deal v\hk‘h appeared in today's final Congres- sional Record, Snell said administra- tion officials and others close to the administration had revealed that the “‘unconstitutional” measures would give Mr. Roosevelt a chance to go to the country and say he had done his| best to rectify alleged economic and | social injustices, but “that organized wealth, through the medium of Fed-| eral courts, has been able to thwart his efforts.” 1 Admits Tactics Are Shrewd. “Dumping a load of unconstitutional | legislation on the bench of the Su- preme Court, fully aware in advance | of its inevitable decisicn,” Snell said, “would give him the club with which to belabor both the Supreme Court and the United States Constitution. | There can be little doubt that such tac- tics may be politically shrewd. * * “Our Constitution and our institu- tions are the fruit of generations of sober thinking and seasoned public | opinion.

Postmaster General Farley figures that the “formal” opening of the na- ' tional political campaign begins when the States and Territories start select- ing delegates to the Democratic Na- tional Convention. This will be soon after the first of the year. When the formal opening of the campaign arrives, it may be expected that Farley will step out of his pres- ent cabinet post and devote his entire time as chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Farley declined again today to say just when he would retire from the cabinet. Stich announcement, he believes, should come from the President. Frank W. Walker, former treasurer | of the Democratic National Commit- tee and at present director of the Na- tional Emergency Council. is men- tioned as the probable successor to' Farley as Postmaster General. The impression given in informed Demo- cratic circles today was that Walker had as good a chance for appoint- | ment to the cabinet as any other — | He is & personal | has filled in when needed in emergencies and would be willing to carry on as Post- | master General until after the 193¢ Confirmation Unobtainable. If Walker has definitely been s | lected for the postmaster generalsh.p, confirmation of that fact was unoo- tainable today from Farley. Here again Farley believes the informatioa should come from the President when | he is ready to make the announce- | ment. The job which Farley is setting | | himself as chairman of the national | | committee is to have sent to the Dem- ocratic National Convention next year 100 per cent Roosevelt-instructed del- egations. He predicts that every State and every territory and the District | of Columbia will instruct their dele- | gates for the President when the time comes. He does not except Louisiana or Georgia, the home States of two of the Roosevelt New Deal's most ardent critics, the late Huey P. Long and Farley declined to comment on the political implicetions His in-| sistance, however, that all States would send instructed delegations to the national convention seems proof that the national chairman expects to swing the Democrats in Louisiana into | line for the President. That this could have been done had Long lived The Democratic chairman and Post- master General has just returned from a trip through the West which took him as far as Hawaii. He insists that not only will the President be unani- mously renominated by his own party, but that the President will be re- elected with as big & sweep ®f the States as in 1932, “The President,” said Farley, “is not weaker in any section of the coun- try than he was in 1932.” He was asked about New England, T (See FARLEY, Page 5) | course | Orleans and Baton Rouge. | Martin, public service commissioner, | mar be produced and that an effi- | will repeal Long’s dictatorial laws.

Foes Lacking in U The anti-Long element is nm much better off for leadership, but the pass- ing of the Senator has lifted many ob- stacles and the running should become easier. If anti-Long factions could be welded into a solid group they might seriously challenge the Long organization. Long's machine will run for a time on its own momentum. Even without Jeadership it is undeniably the strong- est political organization in the State and it will put up a stiff fight in January, when Senators, Congress- men, a Governor and other State offi- ; cers will be nominated. The first threats of disintegration may come with the appointment of Long's successor in the United States Senate and later when a slate of can- didates is prepared for January. Who- ever is selected by the caucus, there will be disappointments and wounded feelings that may result in desertions. Noe Organizes Ranks. Already Lieutenant Gov. James A. Noe has brought about him his North Louisiana followers. Allen Ellender, Speaker of the House. has colected his from Southwest Lovisiana. Seymour Weiss controls the followers in New Wade is collecting his clan form all points. Each of these groups can cause em- barrassment to the parent organiza- tion, but none of them will be able to stand alone. A look into the opposition camp also discloses chaos. There stands Mayor T.

Final Coughlin, New Deal Foe, Pays Secret Visit to Roosevelt BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. Staff Correspondent of The Star. HYDE PARK, N. Y., September 11. —The cubby-hole office in the Roose. velt home here was the scene of a conference yesterday between the President and Father Coughlin, who has been one of the new Deal's severest critics in his radio broad- casts. The greatest of care was taken to make this visit of the Detroit priest a secret, and it was not until nearly noon today that the news leaked out. The leak was sprung by Father Coughlin himself upon his return to New York City last night. Queries from New York could not be con- firmed here last night, but confirma- tion was finally given by the President today. In admitting the talk, the President did not reveal its nature. The con- firmation given was that Joseph P. Kennedy, chairman of the Federal Securities EBxchange Commission, tele- phoned the President from New York early yesterday gnd asked to make the lppohmmt,nd accompanied the priest to the President’s home and sat | with the President and Coughlin dur- ing the conference. MclIntyre Not in on Secret. Reports from New York also repre- | sented Father Coughlin as claiming to have been the first to tell the Presi- dent of the death of Senator Huey Long. This part of the Coughlin re- port was denied by the Summer White House. It was said that the news of Long's death was conveyed by one of the office staff in advance of Cough- lin's arrival at Hyde Park. Coughlin’s visit was so closely guarded that even Col. Marvin H. Mc- Intyre of the White House secretariat, who is in charge of the executive staffhere and who acts as press rela- tions secretary in addition, was not taken into the secret. It was not until this morning, following requests from newspaper men for some word from the White House regarding the reports from New York regarding Coughlin’s claim to have been with| the President (See CO' esterday, that he put HLIN, Page l.

LATTER TAKES CASE TO HYDE PARK TODAY Roosevelt Anxious to Get Pro- gram Fully Under Way by November. By the Associated Press. HYDE PARK, N. Y., September 11. —President Roosevelt went into the role of peacemaker and conciliator again today with Secretary ickes, public works administrator, coming here for a showdown on the works re- lief program. Ickes, who administered the original $3.200,000,000 works plan, #ppears concerned, according to Washington reports, over the distribution of the present $4,000,0000,000 works relief fund. Harry L. Hopkins, present wWorks progress administrator, who headed the old Civil Works Administration. is at the other end of the argument. Hopkins believes jobs should be supplied quickly. Ickes believes his program for bridges and buildings should be encouraged. Mr. Roosevelt apparently favors the proposition of making jobs quickly under the idea that Congress stij lated the $4,000.000,000 fund shouid be spent this fiscal year. Seeks End of Dole. He is determined to keep the goal of getting 3,500,000 persons from re- lief rolls to work by November and end the dole. He also is just as - terested. it appears, to have private industry take up the unemployment slack. There is the rub. The President seems to be giving the latter idea an opportunity to take root. He believes the peak of the emergency is over and private business will pick up con- siderable of the slack. As for the public works program championed by Ickes, the President stated last week he would prefer to see the construction of permanent structures such as buildings and bridges. but he pointed out he was confronted by the task of providing jobs immediately. So far as public buildings and other permanent structures are con- cerned, he said he must insist that these plans be submitted immediately with provisions for a quick start.
