LONDON SEESHULL PLEA AS ABSTRAGT Paris Stand Cheered, but U. S. Still Means to Stay Out of War, Is Belief. By the Associated Press. LONDON, September 13.—The speech of Premier Laval at the League of Nations Assembly today was interpreted in authoritative cir- clues as an important pledge that France would support the League to the limit in the Italo-Ethiopian crisis. These circles noted an immediate Jubilation, and regarded Laval's re- marks as “immensely important and certainly welcomed.” There was, however, no immediate feeling that the French action would affect the expected Italian invasion of Ethiopia. Authoritative quarters pointed out that the matter is now a question of the workings of one man's mind, and there has been no indication that Mussolini would change his front. Hull's Appeal Held Abstract. The appeal of Secretary of State | Hull, in Washington, for the Briand- Kellogg peace pact, was also en- thusiastically accented here as further indication of an almost universal | anti-war front. There was, however, ro particular stress placed on his remarks, which were regarded as abstract rather than a concrete contribution to peace. Informed quarters were thoroughly impressed with the United States’ oft- voiced intention to stay clear of en- tanglements and to stay out of war. ‘There was no feeling here that Hull's statement in any manner altered that attitude. Hoare Due Tonight. Sir Samuel Hoare, British foreign secretary, who stated the British at- titude at Geneva, will arrive in Lon- don tonight and will motor to Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin's country place for a conference later tonight or tomorrow. The great concentration of British ships in the vicinity of Suez, which has already sent a near-record num- ber of ships to that area for peace time, continues unabated, a list of thip movements made public by the admiralty showed today. It has been pointed out that many heavy. fast fighters, provisioned and equipped for fast cruises. could steam out on a moment’s notice for at least two months at sea without touching ports. Rome (Continued From First Page.) Fthiopia makes some concession we cannot accept them. We cannot, be- cause we have no faith in Ethiopia. From our experience of 40 vears ago. we know she cannot be depended on.” England’s reinforcing of her Med- fterranean and Red Sea bases and sending of additional battleships to the Mediterranean is “placing in & state of alarm Italy’s position in the Mediterranean and Red Sea” the| semi-official Azione Coloniale said to- | day. { Retaliation Is Hinted. | ‘The publication said in a front-page | editorial that this move by England | could not but give rise to special measures by Italy. “The moment must come,” sald‘ the publication, “to demand what end | England is pursuing in the Mediter- | ranean Sea—our sea for geographical | reasons, for military securl!y and Xor‘ necessities of provisioning.” Government _spokesman dewrmndi as “a most absurd statement” the declaration of the delegate of the Union of South Africa that an Italo- | Ethiopian war would arouse all the African colored races. “We do not see how this view can be taken,” said the spokesman, “since our action is designed specifically to| establish order in an uncivilized | country.” I Sees Pact Invocdtion Useless. Ttaly feels that invocation of the| Kellogg-Briand pact at this late date would be useless. Secretary of State Hull's appeal tow signatories to keep pledges to maintain | peace would be received cordially | here, it was said, if Italy did not be- lieve that Ethiopia has already vio- | lated every precept of the pact. | The spokesman contended that Italy | could in no sense be considered the aggressor in the East African contro- | versy which is generaly expected to plunge Italy and Ethiopia into hos- tilities. | They noted with gratification that Hull refrained from making his appeal | & formal invocation of the pact, merely | recalling its terms to the signatory | nations—including Italy and Ethiopia. | “To Count Over Friends.” Italy will now “count over her | friends” and assure herself of thm‘ fidelity in the future, the Italian press said in a pointed suggestion | to France to choose whether she wants to back British policies at Geneva at the expense of Italian ill- will.

Long, whose dictatorial career was ended by an assassin's bullet, With thousands attending, the This Changing World Il Duce Aims to Crown King Emmanuel With Imperial Diadem of Gems Given Queen of Sheba by King Solomon. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN the end of Mussolini’s sword and King I will get itgif II Duce's legions | can overcome the terrain difficulties of Ethiopia and the stubborness of Haile Selassie’s warriors, o Italian artists are already preparing the design for the new Caesar's crown, which Mussolini intends to place on the head of the monarch, who will assume the title of Rorran| | emperor—if and when the Itall#n troops reach Addis Ababa and can iship from there gold and platinum and the precious stones the Queen of Sheba obtained from King Solomon to adorn the new imperial crown of Victor Emmanuel. For the time being this is still a dream—close to realization in Mus- solini’s mind, somewhat deubtful in the minds of those who know some- thing about Ethiopia, its moun(mm“ bravery of its inhabitants. The developments at Geneva don't seem to play much role in Il Ducu, plans. Not that he is not worried | about what is happening in the capi-l tal of the League at'present. But he has gone too far for a dictator to be able to reverse his policles. * ok ok X Mussolini does not appear to be much concerned about the threat of sanctions. He is .;not much impressed by the fact that ‘the British think that he is no longer a gentleman. He is the son of a blacksmith and the ancestral hammers ring in every accent he utters and in every stroke of his action, The chances that Mussolini would melt before the menace of sanctions Hitler would soften toward tl by presenting him with a branch candlestick. * K Kk ok The statement of ‘Sir Samuel Hoare that Great Britain would destroy the last bridges which tie her to Europe in case the League of Nations does not live up to the letter of the cov- enant did not surprise insiders. Capt. Eden, upon his return from e Jews ven- 4 HERE is an imperial crown at | Victor Emmanuel | , Rome, stopped in Paris and had a long talk with Premier Laval. | Eden told Laval that he realized | the precarious position of the | | French government which, on the one hand, desires to save the League and on the other hand is tied to Italy by the agreement signed last January in Rome between Laval and Mussolini. Eden added that in view of this sit- uation, Great Britain was willing to | g0 a long way to placate Mussolini, | but should he be determined to go to | | war with Ethiopia, the British govern- ment would be compelled to,restrain | him by a common action of all the | | League powers. Failing this, said the | spokesman of the British government, | Great Britain will have to quit the | League. * ok x X It was after this frank talk that | Laval suggested the idea of a redis- tribution of colonial wealth, an idea accepted lukewarmly by Eden. But the Britisher did not discourage his French colleague and the thought was put up to Mussolini—with little suc- | cess. “It is Ethlopia or nothing,” Il Duce is reported to have replied. * ok X ¥ Although Laval has thrown the moral prestige of France on. the side | of the League by declaring that he favored world sanctions, the French continue to be in a dilemma. They | will ultimately have to choose between: Great Britain and Italy. | ‘The former is powerful and will re- main so whatever hnppen.s. But the | Prench public opinion is shy about putting too much faith in Britain’s friendship. It was Britain's passive attitude which enabled Germany to get rid of the Versailles treaty. Fur- thermore, London's foreign policies change frequently with the change of cabinets and, while a Tory government might be inclined to support France, a Laborite administration might adopt an opposite attitude. Italy, French politicians think, is not subject to the vicissitudes of the polls. Whatever Mussolini wants, as long as he can maintain himself in power, the Italian people follow. Italy’ has under arms 1,000,000 men at the present moment. It can be increased by another million in no time. That means more to French “security” than all the-good will expressed in words and all the political assurances of statesmen #ho may be out of a job tomorrow. Furthermore,. in the agreement with Laval, last January, Mussolini* had definitely undertaken to keep enough forees on the Austrian-border to dis- courage the Germans from any ad- venture in Central Europe. And that counts with the PFrench government. A AR, WASHINGTON, -y - - D.

He does not want to antagonize Great Britain; he wants to maintain the authority and the power of the League of Nations and yet he cannot afford to antagonize Mussolini. Hitler | is waiting anxiously just for anomer} “friendly move” from Italy to throw himself into Mussolini's arms. x Xx ¥ x There is another angle which worries Laval greatly. It would be l} very serious business for the League | | if Great Britain got out. But what will become of the League if Italy decided to quit? Japan and Germany are already outside the Geneva jurisdiction, and they have not done badly for themselves since they divorced the prematurely aged League. The United States broke its engage- | ment when Gerieva was still young and strong. If Italy abandons Geneva now, there will be mighty little left despite Britain's and France's presence there, LANGER ASKS THOROUGH PROBE OF LONG KILLING Former Governor Wires Borah Victim Was “Greatest Cham- pion of Masses.” By the Associated Press. BISMARK, N. Dak., September 13.— ‘Former Gov. William Langer, Repub- lican, of North Dakota, has asked Senator William E. Borah, Republican, | of Idaho, to “demand a complete and sweeping investigation” into the slay- ing of Senator Huey P. Long, Demo- crat, of Louisiana. Langer made his appeal by tele- graph last night to Borah at Boise. He termed Long “the greatest champion of the rank and file of the common people of the country, who was foully slain.” “I appeal. to you,” Langer - tele- graphed Borah, “as well as all honest Americans, regardless of political affi- liations to grasp at this opportunity, and as one of the Republican leaders of this Nation, to demand a complete and .sweeping investigation of this stain on America.” DL gl Tl Tourists Visit Panama.

CIVIC GROUP JOINS DRIVEON HIGHWA Edmonston Road Associa- tion Acts in Campaign—2 Drivers Freed in Death. Immediate improvement of the De- fense Highway was urged by another Prince Georges County civic group— the Edmonston Road Citizens’ Asso- ciation—Ilast night as an acting cor- oner termed jhe latest fatality on the | highway an unavoidable accident. | Under the leadership of President Louis A. Day, the Edmonston road citizens voted to call on the State | Roads Commission to widen and| straighten “Death Highway” “at the earliest possible moment.” Vote for Co-operation. Believing they can get results be:® through concerted action, the asso- ciation voted to have its federation delegates seek the co-operation of as many other organizations as possible in the furtherance of the project. Drivers of the two cars which col- lided on a straight stretch of the high- way near Mitchellville on Labor day, fatally injuring Miss Ida Schartner, 323 H street northeast, Washington, were exonerated after a preliminary hearing before Acting Coroner Louis Gundling in Hyattsvilel last night. Two Are Freed. His decision frees Caspter T. Fogle of Clinton, driver of the car in which | Miss Schartner - was riding, and| Charles Brooks, colored, of Bowie, operator of the other machine. The accident occurred when Brooks turned into the Mitchellville road and Fogle, seeking to avoid a collision, | swerved into his machine. Attorney J. Wilson Ryon represented Fogle at the hearing, while Brooks was repre- sented by Clarence Roberts and 8./ Marvin Peach appeared for the State. Long (Continued From First Page.)

Smith, national | organizer of the share-our-wealth so- | cieties, who delivered Long's funeral | oration, today pledged the support of the societies to the Long organization in the January election. Opposing Ticket in Doubt. ‘The anti-Long camp was described as being in practically the same politi- cal condition as before Long's death. | At the time Long was shot, the oppo- sitionists had not definitely selected | a State ticket with which to combat the Long organization at the January State primary election. They were waiting for the Longs to announce their slate first so ihey would know exactly whom they would have to oppose. It was Long's inten- tion to delay the designation of his | | slate at least a month or longer und | it is probable that no one today knows | who he would have named as his | [ | candidates for Governor, the eight | lesser State offices and Congress. | The anti-Longs are today in = | strategic position. They have almost | finished laying the foundation for | their State campaign. Nothing re- | mained except agreement officially on their State ticket, and that was more or less a formality because informal conferences have been held by anti- Long leaders over the State and aspir- ants from anti-administration ranks for Governor have simmered down to two men, United States Representa- tives Cleveland Dear and J. Y. San- ders, jr. | While speculation over Louisiana's political future continued, Dr. Thomas B. Bird, East Baton Rouge coroner, laid plans to go forward Monday with the oft-delayed inquest into the death | of Dr. Weiss, jr. With good will toward all nations, the American Government asks of those countries which appear to be con- templating armed hostilities that they weigh most solicitously the declara- | tion and the pledge given in the pact of Paris, which pledge was entered into by all signatories for the purpose of safeguarding peace and sparing the world the incalculable losses and human suffering that inevitably at- tend and follow in the wake of war.” After having fired this blank shot the State Department is awaiting re- actions from abroad. The stand taken by Premier Laval of France to support the Covenant is considered in official quarters in Washington as “most encouraging.” France, it is said in responsible quar- ters, holds the key to the peaceful solution of the Ethiopian-Italian con- flict and, by her attitude, made it possible to hope that a peaceful set- tlement mdy still be in the offing. Of course, it is pointed out in the same quarters, it would be unwise to be too optimistic. Italy, according | to reliable reports, appears to be little | impressed by the British naval con- centration in the Mediterranean, by | the Prench attitude and by the decla- ration of Secretary Hull. Seems Set in Course. She seems determined to follow the course set a few months ago by Mus- solini—an unquestionable occupation of Ethiopia, by force if necessary— believing that after much speech- making and empty gestures the world would not dare risk a general conflict by opposing her effectively. Queerly enough, the attention of all powers are directed at present toward Germany. It is known that in case France was determined to follow Great Brit- ain and the smaller nations in even- tually applying sanctions, Italy would turn for help to Hitler. | Should the Reichsfuehrer decide to | side with Great Britain and France— the two powers are willing at present to talk to him about a redistribution | WATER COSTS 50% to 75% ° | The coroner returned a slmnl! ver-; dict in Long’s death. It read: “Gun- | shot wound (homicidal).” An indirect denial came from Mrs. | Weiss today that her husband was in- | volved in any “hotel room plot” to kill Senator Long. At her parents’ home in Opelousas, La., where she is | !in retirement she said she did not | believe Dr. Weiss was present at a | hotel room conference of politicians in | | New Orleans at which Long once said I plans for killing him had been dis- | cussed.

With tens of thousands mrassed on | the State House grounds, bringing | lunch to spend the day, sleeping under | oak trees and milling about, double lines were formed so that persons | could pass on both sides of the comn simultaneously. With the rotunda closed to the pub- lic at 4 o'clock and the hall clmed. Mrs. Long and the Long childrer, Miss Rose, Russell and Palmer Reid, came in to view his body for the last | time. Tears streamed from their eyes as they rested their arms on the casket and pressed their faces almost to the glass inclosing him. Composing them- | selves, they followed the coffin as it was carried down the broad terrace of steps to the grave in the sunken gar- den in front of the capitol. With them was Huey P. Long, sr., 82-year- old father of the Senator. | !1,000-Year-01d Rice Seeds Grow. | Grains of rice hermetically sealed, perhaps by accident, inside a Buddhist image known to have been made 1,000 years ago, sprouted a few days after ted recently.
