AMERICAN CLAIMS ETHIOPIAN RIGHTS Ready to Pay Million for Qil | and Mineral, Chertok Tells London. By the Associatec Press. LONDON, September 19.—Leo Cher- tok, New York broker, arrived here today and announced himself ready to pay “more than a million dollars” | for all the mineral and oil rights in | Ethiopia. | Chertok insists he has a concession for those rights which pre-dates the | one obtained for American interests | by Francis M. Rickett and later nulli- fied at the suggestion of Secretary of | BState Cordell Hull. Fifty Years’ Franchise. “My concession covers all minerais gold, silver, platinum, oil, in fact, anything below the ground in any part of the country we may select and for a period of 50 years,” Chertok said. “The option I have, which calls for payment of $1,000,000, has another | 30 days to run and I am in a posi- tion to pay the money at any time. My concession was signed by Dr. ‘Waronex C. Martin, the Ethiopian Minister to London, July 19. Rickett's | concession was signed August 30, so you can clearly see I have a prior claim.” Backers Not Revealed. Chertok, who previously described himself as a sales representative of the E. I. du Pont Co. in Russia, to- day declined to reveal the identity of his backers or clients in the Ethiopian | concessiqn. He described them as “American interests.” “I can say no more,” he added, *until I apprise myself of what has | happened since I left America.” Chertok said he had hoped to see Dr. Martin today, but the Minister was unable to receive him until to- MOITOW, (Continued From First Page) on the basis of each man in the enter- prise qualifying on his credit standing.

So closely guarded were the Housing officials’ negotiations for the 23 acres, it was explained, that the special investigator was unaware the purchase had been made until he read Ickes’ public announcement of the Anacastia Terrace project in the press.

This is considerably more than P. W. A. payments over a longer amortization period, but again it was pointed out that the Hollywood purchasers are in a better financial position to purchase higher-priced homes of their own choice and design. F. H. A. Insure Loans. The Federal Housing Administra- tion, which came to the rescue of the group, will insure up to 80 per cent of the loan, depending on the credit standing of the individual and the amount of his outstanding obliga- tions. Not all of the stockholders will be able to derive the full advan- tage of 80 per cent Government in- surance, the directors explained, and these will be required to make larger down payments on properties. About one-third of the stockholders, however, have indicated a willingness to make substantial initial payments | for in this manner they can reduce NOT | considerably the monthly amortiza- | tion payments.

By the Assoclated Press ADDIS ABABA, September 19.—A leading adviser to Emperor Haile Selassie asserted today, “We have made the final move, it is Low up to Italy.” The adviser explained that Haile Selassie held no conferences yester- dya or today because there was noth- ing to do except to reconfirm recom- mendations of the League of Nations’ five-power committee for settlement of the Italo-Ethiopian conflict, simi- lar to the previous Paris terms. (o should know our position—no Italian | protectorate or special privilgees, no territorial concession to Italy except cash, no diminution of our sovereignty or independence and no foreign over- lordship of any kind,” he told the As- sociated Press. Italy was understood in quarters to be pressing the Emperor for Italian military occupation of Ethiopia as the only means of insur- ing fulfillment of any future agree- ments between the two countries. Haile Selassie has rejected indig- nantly this suggestion as a threat to Ethiopia's sovereignty. Five thousand Ethiopian warriors staged a patrfotic demonstration be- fore the imperial palacc today, ap- pealing to the King of Kings for rifles and urging him to declare war. Haile Selassie pacified them by as- serting that only bullies made war, while strong men made peace. “Keep your powder dry, your hearts call you,” he told the warriors.
