- HIGHWAY POLIGE TOGIVE FIRST AID North Dakota Force Equip- ped to Treat Traffic Injuries. BISMARCK, N. Dak (#)—Seven Highway policemen, trained to give first aid to the injured. will appear soon on North Dakota's roads. They will be members of the State highway patrol, designed to decrease the toll of dead and injured in traffic accidents. The new patrol, patterned after Min- nesota’s set-up, will be clad in snappy two-toned blue uniforms, with Sam Browne belts of black leather. Each of the patrolmen will be thor- oughly trained in first aid, in addition to traffic duties. They will carry with them equipment for aiding motorists, not only out of traffic jams and mis- haps, but out of more serious diffi- culties, - The patrol was organized by au- thority granted by the last session of the Legislature. Each of the fleet coupes, specially built. will contain a radio set, tuned in on one of the nearby stations, as the State has set up a radio net in which to catch law violators. "Ethiopia +(Oontinued From First Page.) Joyal member of the League, believ- ing profoundly in its purpose, can continue as such only by a deep con- viction in its honesty.” Italian Delegate’s Ire Grows. ‘Whether Italy would heed these warnings was still uncertain. The drritation of the Italian delegate was gradually mounting. “For 10 days we have been here now waiting for a real and serious examination of our accusations against Fthiopia.” an Italian delegation spokesman said. “With what result?>— a series of speeches full of insults, intimidations and menace against Italy.” The Italian spokesman emphasized that he was not referring to Laval's speech, which, he said, “after all, was ‘the only kind of speech the French ‘premier could make.” Nevertheless, the Italians made little effort to conceal their disap- pointment that France so definitely had declared herself for solidarity with Great Britain. To Stay for Present. Asked point blank if the Italians planned to leave the League, the spokesman answered: “We are staying for the present.” Laval's firm pronouncement, “France will not evade those (covenant) obli- gations,” made a powerful impression | on all the delegations. They widely interpreted his statement as meaning | that the French would not shrmki from sanctions if it should become necessary to apply them. | The Assembly opened with the im- | pression among many delegates that \private conversations had already been | held among great powers concerning | possible _application of sanctions | against Italy if she should reject League recommendations and start a war against Ethiopia without provo- cation. Fleet Disposition Reported. 1f sanctions were resorted to, it was yeported that the British fleet would police the Eastern Mediterranean and that the French fleet would be con- centrated in Northern seas to protect the coasts of England and France. The Covenant provides for such measures if a nation goes to war in defiance of its provisions, such a nation being regarded as having committed an act of war against 81l members of the League. As for military sanctions, it is the duty of the League Council, under the punitive article, to recommend 10 the several governments what ef- fective military, naval and air forces the members shall contribute to the armed forces to be used. 1t is for the governments to decide whether or not they contribute, and | there is no obligation for them to | make a contribution. Hope Still Expressed. 1t was pointed out, however, that Laval, according to a passage in his speech referring to the Council's ef- fort toward conciliation, “still refuses to believe it is without hope.” The French premier was applauded wvigorously when he assured delegates that France's close co-operation with Britain continued “for defense of peace.” Friendship between France and Great Britain, he asserted, is “unalterable.” He concluded by say- ing, “France is faithful to the cove- pant. Prince Aga Khan followed Laval to the rostrum and said that criticism of the League of Nations was growing in India, that country being troubled by the great preponderance of interest which the League showed to European problem: Seen at Crossroads. h trouble, greater than all is now on the horizon,” he “If the worse comes to worst, heaven forbid, who can daré lorecast what disasters may ensue. “The world today is at the parting ot the ways. We hope and pray that wisdom may guide it in the choice.” Another appeal for peace by Sir Bamuel Hoare, British foreign secre- tary, was already before Premier Mus- solinl. Invoking both his own and his Pountry's long friendship for Italy in » broadcast to Britain last night— elearly intended for comsideration by Jtaly—Sir Samuel urged a settlement of the East African controversy “that ‘will do justice alike to Ethiopia’s na- tional rights and Italy's claims for ex- on.” Cites Two Chief Aims. In his last public statement before Feturning to London the British for- ‘eign secretary asserted he had two principal objectives at Geneva: ;. “l. To express first of all our uni- wersal desire to live and let live in ce. u::. To make plain our determina- tion to keep our word that we have solemnly ‘given under the Covenant g( the League of Natjons.” ° Germany’s empty League chair be- ‘gan to loom larger in the eyes of statesmen. Many delegates who had worried about England listened with ‘one ear to what France had to say, and kept the other ear alert for any plgnificant off-stage utterance from “Germany. -~ Berlin May Aid Sanctions. * Rumors that Germany would join the League powers in .enforcing “sanctions against Italy were described “4n the delegation of one of the great- ‘est powers represented as “premature ~ _but not ridiculous.” . chief delegate of another power THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, Text of Hull Appeal Secretary Voices Concern of United States for World Peace Through Settlement of Italo-Ethiopian Dispute. ‘The text of Secretary Hull's ap- pezl for peaceful settiement of the dispute between Itaty and Ethiopia: In view of the deep concern of this Government and the wide« spread anxiety of the American people over Tecent developments which appear to constitute a grave threat to the peace of the world, I consider it desirable to recapitu- late the sieps thus far taken by this Government in contributing in every practicable way toward a peaceful settlement of the present dispute between Italy and Ethiopia. On the evening of July 3 the Emperor of Ethiopia summoned the American charge d'affaires ad in- terim at Addis Ababa to the palace and handed the charge a com- munication in which the Emperor stated that he felt it to be his duty to ask the American Government to examine means of securing ob- servance of the pact of Paris, Recites Charge's Reply As Directed by Secretary. ‘The charge was instructed to reply to the Emperor as follows: “I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your imperial majes- ty's note of July 3, 1935, and to inform your imperial majesty that . I immediately communicated its contents to my Government. I have been instructed by my Gov- ernment to reply to your note as follows: “‘My Government, interested as it is in the maintenance of peace in all parts of the world, is grati- fled that the League of Nations, with a view to a peaceful settle- ment, has given its attention to the controversy which has un- happily arisen between your gov- ernment and the Italian govern- ment and that the controversy is now in protess of arbitration. My Government hopes that, whatever the facts or merits of the contro- versy may be, the arbitral agency dealing with this controversy may be able to arrive at a decision sat- isfactory to both of the govern- ments immediately concerned. “ ‘Furthermore, and of great im- Text of Laval’s Address French Premier Declares France Will Not Evade Her Obligations to Strive for Universal Peace. By the Assoclated Press. GENEVA, September 13.—The text of Premier Laval's address to the League of Nations Assembly today fol- lows: In a discussion so grave as this, where everybody must assume his re- sponsibility, it is my duty to make heard the voice of my country. I explained the French position be- fore the Coyncil of the League of Na- tions. I have done this, I believe, with clearness. France is faithful to the League covenant. She cannot fail in her ob- ligations. The League of Nations was born from the sufferings of men and she was~ergeted upon ruins, conceived in order to prevent a return of war. The adhesion without reservation which we have brought to the League has been enthusiastic, and the result of considered opinion. Faith Never Weakened. ‘We place our hope in the co-opera- tion of all peoples for the realization | of our ideal of peace. Sometimes it has happened in difficult moments that we have known real disappoint- ment at Geneva; yet our faith has never been weakened. With a perseverance which no dif- ficulty has even been able to discour- age, representatives of France have constantly moral authority of the greatest inter- national institution. They have willed to do this and they wish always to render this insti- tution stronger and furnish it with means for action. From the protocol in 1924 to the conference for the limitation of arma- ments, France's representatives have supported with the same fervor the | doctrine of collective security. This doctrine remains and will remain the doctrine of France. The Covenant endures as our international law, Base Policy on League. How could we ever allow such a law to be weakened? That would be to cast aside all our ideals and our very interest is opposed to any such step. ‘The policy of France is based in its entirety on the League of Nations. All our accords with our friends and our allies have been either passed by Geneva or based on Geneva. It suffices for me to recall Locarno, our accords with the little entente, the Franco-Soviet pact or the accord with Rome. Any blow struck at the insti- tution at Geneva would be a blow struck at our very security. In afirming our fidelity to the pact I renew and confirm the declaration which has been made from this trib- une by representatives of my country. If it was necessary to present the circumstances, this would provoke no surprise. France Welcomes Stand, In an address, elevated in its thought where was found anew the Iiberal tradition of England and Eng- land’s sense of the universal, Hoare told us the day before yesterday of the sald Germany had been approached on the subject of sanctions against Italy, but hed not yet given a definite answer. Germany still is technically & mem- ber of the League until October 15, although not represented by a delega- tion at present. League circles be- lieved the Germans were fully aware of & possibility that the Ethicpian crisis might drive England and Prance into a close alliance—another reason why Laval's Assembly address was so closely watched. Peace Councll to Meet. ‘The Pive-Power Committee set up by the League Council to consider the dispute will meet Saturday or Mon- day to study another plan for peace, which its experts were instructed to draft for submission later to the Council. ‘The scheme would amplify the pro- posals submitted by Great Britain snd France at the recent tri-power Paris conversation and rejected by Italy 1t contemplates collective assistance for Ethiopia by Great Britain, France and Italy; reorganization of the Af- rican empire; free activity of for- eigners In an economic sphere, par- ticularly on account of Italy’s inter- ests, and possible territorial adjust- menta, L) portance, in view of the provisions of the pact of Paris, to which bof Italy and Abyssinia are parties common with 61 other countries, my Government would be loath to believe that either of them would resort to other than pacific means as a method of dealing with this controversy or would permit any situation to arise which would be inconsistent with the commitments of the pact.’” Explains to Italian Envoy After Summoning Him. On July 10 during a call of the Italian Ambassador, made at the request of the.Secretary of State, the Secrétary made to the Am- bassador a statement as follows: “Although we are not familiar with the facts or the merits of the questions at issue between Italy and Ethiopia, we are deeply in- terested in the preservation of peace in all parts of the world and we are particularly interested in those international arrangements designed to effect the solution of controversies by peaceable means. “Being convinced that world progress and economic recovery are urgently in need of peaceful con- ditions, particularly at this time, we feel impelled to impress upon the Italian Ambassador our in- creasing concern over the situa- tion arising out of Italy’s dispute with Ethiopia and our earnest hope that a means may be found to arrive at a peaceful and mu- tually satisfactory solution of the problem.” On July 11 the Secretary of State conferred with the British and French Ambassadors. He called attention to articles which had appeared in the press wherein there was placed upon the Amer- labored to increase the | ican Government's reply to the Emperor of Ethiopia an interpreta- tion implying that the American Government had abandoned tne Kellogg-Briand pact and the pact therefore was “dead. Secretary Concerned By Wrong Interpretation. ‘The Secretary said he felt this | determination of the United Kingdom to adhere without reservations to the sysem of collective security. | He affirmed this determination was | | and will continue to be the guiding principle of the international policy of Great Britain. No country has wel- | | comed with greater satisfaction the | word of the British secretary of state | than Prance. No country more than France may | appreciate and understand the mean- | ing of such an engagement. This soli- darity in responsibilities of all kinds at all times and places which are im- | plied for the future by this declara- tion, marks a date in the history of the League of Nations. 1 rejoice with my country which un- | derstands the full necessity of close collaboration with Great Britain for | defense of peace and safeguarding ! Europe. Already on last February 3 at Lon- don, our two governments agreed upon | a common program, which was replete | | with hope. This news was welcomed throughout the world with real en- | thusiasm. Obstacles have surged up which have prevented its realization. I had a beautiful dream. Is it now on the | point of being realized? | Wish for Universal Peace. I speak in the name of a nation which doesn't fear war, but which hates it, in the name of a country | which intends to remain strong, which | is rich in the highest military vir- tues and is animated with a fero- cious will for peace. | We, nourish no fil against any people. We wish for peace for all by the collaboration of all, It is not without emotion after having signed the accords at Rome that I evoke today the difference which weighs 50 heavily upon our Assembly. On January 7 last, Mussolini and I, not only in the-interests of our two countries but also for the peace of Europe, definitely settled all those things which might be able to divide us. Measuring all the value of Franco- Italian friendship, I have neglected nothing to prevent any blow being struck at the new policy happily in- sugurated between France and Italy. At Stresa, with delegates of the British Government, we found the chief of the Italian Government ani- mated with the same desire and the same determination to preserve the cause of peace. T know he is ready to preserve this collaboration. That explains sufficiently the price which I attach to maintenance of such solidarity in the very interests of the European community and in the in- terests of general peace. o I have spared no effort at concilia- lon, Falfillment of Duty. In the supreme efforv made by the League Council, I shall have the satisfaction of fulfilling simultane- ously my duty as a member of the League of Nations and the duty which is dictated by friendship. I conserve hope that the Council will be able within a short space of time to succeed in its role of con- ciliation. Doubtless this task is a rude one, ;:ut I persist in believing it is not hope- ess. The committee of five was studying every proposition which is of a nature to satisty the legitimate aspirations of Italy in a measure compatible with the respect and sovereignty of another state which is & member of the League. Let all realize there exists no dis- cord between France and Britain in their effective seeking for this pacific solution. ‘We have had during this year diffi- culties which seemed insurmountable. Yet they were settled, and because the question of the Saar and the dif- ference between Hungary and Yugo- slavia were European problems, must one deduce that because of that they ‘were more easy to solve? We have succeeded yesterday. Shall we fail tomorrow? In this event the new situation, more poignant still for all of us, will demand our examination. ‘We are all bound by a solidarity which fixes our duty. Our obligations are inscribed in the covenant. Franee will not evade those 4 D. C. interpretation was entirely cone trary to the sense of his note to the Emperor, which had emphasized the principles of the pact of Paris and had given evidence of this Government's interest in the set~ tlement of this dispute by peace- able means. On the same day, at his press conference, the Secretary of State pointed out that naturally the American Government, as had fre- quently been stated previously, is deeply concerned about the preser- vation of peace in every part of the world and is closely observing con= ditions and developments, On July 12, in response to va- rious inquiries of newspaper cor- respondents, the Secretary of State made a statement as folows: “The pact of Paris is no less binding now than when it was entered into by the 63 nations that are parties to it. By form and designation it constitutes a treaty by and among those nations. It is a declaration by the govern- ments of the world that they cone demn recourse to war for the solu- tion of international controversies and renounce it as an instrument of national policy in their relations with one another. Furthermore, it is an agreement and a solemn obligation that the settlement or solution of all disputes or con- flicts among nations, of whatever nature or of whatever origin, shall never be sought except by pacific means. “The United States and the other nations are interested in the main- tenance of the pact and the sance tity of the international commit- ments assumed thereby for the promotion and maintenance of peace among the nations of the world.” President Voices Hope Of Amicable Settlement. On August 1 the President is- sued a statement as follows: “At this moment, when the Council of the League of Nations is assembled to consider ways for composing by pacific means the differences that have arisen be- tween Italy and Ethiopia, I wish to voice the hope of the people and the Government of the United States that an amicable solution will be found and that peace will be maintained.” ‘Thereafter, during the month of August expression of this hope of the people and Government of the United States was communicated in telegrams from the American Government to several other gov- ernments, On September 3, having discov- ered that an American corpora- tion was a party to a newly granted commercial concession, the con- clusion of which had added to the perplexities and difficulties con< fronting the governments and other agencies which are intent upon preservation of peace, the Amer- ican Government took prompt steps toward removal of this obstacle to peaceful settlement. In connection with that matter, the Secretary said at his press conference: “The central point in the policy THE COST OF THE FAMILY SHOES!

Feels Called On To Further Express Stand. Now, this Government feels called upon further to express the atti- tude of this country. ‘The Government and people of the United States desire peace. ‘We believe that international con- troversies can and shoyld be set- tled by peaceful means. We have signed, along with 62 other na- tions, including Italy and Ethiopia, a treaty in which the signatories have condemned war as an instru- ment of national policy and have undertaken, each to all, to settle their disputes by none but pacific means. Under the conditions which pre- vail in the world today, & threat of hostilities anywhere cannot but be a threat to the interests—po- litical, economic, legal and social —of all nations.
