ROSSO DISCUSSES CRISIS WITH U.3. ltalian’ Ambassador Says No Communication Was Delivered. By the Associated Press. For the first time since the Italo- Ethiopian crisis developed into a war scare threatening European peace, Augusto Russo, the Italian Ambas- sador, conferred today with Under- secretary of State Phillips. After the conference, lasting about 20 minutes, Ambassador Rosso told the Associated Press he had called on 8 routine matter, but that he bhad held a general discussion of the Eu- Topean situation with Phillips. No Communication Delivered. The Ambassador said he had not delivered any communication from his government and that he had not discussed any concrete or major moves in any way concerning the situation. Questioned by newsmen, he in- sisted his visit had no importance, other than that he had brought Phil- lips up-to-date on Italian views. A brief visit at the State Depart- ment on August 20 was made by the Ambassador, but his last official visit before that was made on July 10 in response to a summons from Secretary Hull. U. S. Interested in Peace. Secretary Hull at that time empha- sized the United States was “deeply interested in the preservation of peace in all parts of the world and we are | particularly interested in those inter- | national arrangements designed to ef- | fect a solution of controversies by | peaceful means.” : “Being convinced,” Hull told Am- | bassador Rosso, “that world progress | and economic recovery are urgently in need of peaceful conditions, particu- larly at this time, we feel impelled to impress upon the Italian Ambassador our increasing 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 mutually satisfactory so- 1 lution of the problem.” OUTBREAK ON CRETE FEARED BY ATHENS' Republicans on Island Reported | to Be Threatening Royal- ist Adherents.

C, This Changing World Ambassador Dodd Suggests Better Food to Im- prove International Relations—Fare at Geneva Must Have BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. Ambassador' William Dodd, who rep- resents the United States in Germany, is the only diplomat who has offered in recent years a novel and sound idea for the improvement of international relations. He suggested better food at interna- tional meetings. “A good host is a| good diplomat,” said the Ambassador. “Good food unites the nations.” * ok kX The food at Geneva must have been mighty poor, because after weeks of dickering and discussions no peace solution has been found. The audience which witnessed the Geneva comedy is mow quickly acquiring seats for the drama which is being prepared in the Mediterranean. Because of the ez- plosives which are going to be used in that tragedy nobody is anious to get front row seats. * ok X x The blue waters of the Mediter- ranean, Gibraltar, Malta, Cyprus and Alexandria form the stage setting where the two principal actor nations, Italy and Great Britain, are prepared to give the performance. The struggle, if it is to come, will take place in the air, on the water and under the water. Ships with decks cleared for action are steaming between Gibraltar and the Suez with all lights out. Swarms of airplanes are making reconnoiter- ing flights, while fast destroyers are | following either the merchantmen fly- ing the Italian or the British flags or the submarines, which are still sailing on the surface. The Italian and the British fleets, with live ammunition on board, are already spying on each | other. * ok x % A British armada is at present concentrated between the Atlantic and the Red Sea. It is the most powerful single fleet ever concen- trated in Mare Nostrum. In ordinary circumstances the mere presence of that imposing are ray of ships would have brought to reason any European statesman. 1If the British are bluffing they put up a most admiradle bluff. &k ‘Whether Mussolini is impressed or not is difficult to say. There is no doubt, however, that he refuses to show his feelings. Been Poor not lose more than Il Duce has at present at stake. * ok K % It is needless to insist that nothing in the world can turn Mussolini from his determination of taking Ethiopia by force. The suggested plan of the Commit- tee of Five for a “reorganization of Ethiopia” is so honest and takes so much the interests of Abyssinia at 11 Duce. For once, the League has re- fused to hand over Selassie's empire to Italy on a silver platter, but has proposed & reconstruction plan which would help Ethiopia and other powers, including Italy as well. * * ok x The possibility of an Italian- British conflict is more alive today than it has been for many weeks. It might be brought about by an economic embargo which would be enforced by the British fleet in the shape of a blockade. * ¥ % x An economic blockade is a serious proposition and the State Depart- | ment is deeply concerned over xu; effect on America’s policy. The President is authorized by the new neutrality act to place an em- | bargo on the export of war imple- ments as soon as a war breaks out between Italy and Ethiopia. It is up to the President to decide when that war actually begins. In these days | when nations don't bother to declare | war formally, the President will have | to use his own judgment as to when a “de facto” conflict has broker out. * *x % x The State Department can pre- pare a proclamation placing an embargo on the export of arms and ammunition to both countries with- in a few hours of the outbreak of hostilities. So far we are safe. >, But, there is another very impor- tant point. That is the interpreta- tion of the words “war implements.” Strictly speaking this means only guns, rifles, airplanes, shells and gun | powder. These words, according to recognized authorities do no* cover wheat, cotton, copper, steel, etc., al- though these materials were included | ‘during the last war in the list of con- | | traband drafted by the British gov- | ernment and accepted by all the al- | lied and associated powers.

Italy was reported making inquiries here for fuel oil for delivery at Afri- can ports, a situation which traders believe is based on fear of the Suez Canal closing.

Secretary Swanson today issued a new general order directing that the Naval Medical Center, consisting of | the Naval Medical School and the Naval Hospital, shall be established here. “The Naval Medical Cemter shall | | function as a medical, diagnostic and | | educational center, under the control | of the Bureau of Medicine and Sur- | gery,” the general order stated. This administrative move, officials explained, transfers jurisdiction of the Naval Hospital here from Rear Admiral Joseph R. Defrees, com- mandant of the Washington Navy Yard. It thus comes directly under Rear Admiral P. S. Rossiter, surgeon general of the Navy and chief of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. The new set-up, officials believed, places the Navy on a parity with the Army.

On the other hand, if the State Department were to include these important raw materials in the “prohibited” list, what will the farmer and the copper interests say?

Will the ad- munistration, on the eve of a presi- dential election, dare face the wrath of the farmers who will not be able to sell their wheat at say $1.75, or even higher, in the world markets because this Government wants to main its neutrality? Neutral powers, such as Japan, will buy our stuff for the American market price and sell it to the belligerents for two or three times more.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, September 20.—Northland flyers carrying on the seemingly hopeless search for the lost plane of Pilot Arthur F. Hines must obtain another leader. Murray B. Hall, aeronautics in- spector for Alaska, who has directed the search for more than a month, has been ordered to report to Wash- Q !muton, D. C, for a transfer to an- other field. Hall expressed belief today there is slight chance Hines and his three pas- sengers, Mr. and Mrs. John F. Lonz and Alton Nordale, who vanished be- tween Dawson and Fairbanks a month 2go, will be found alive. No clues have been found, Hall said, and he believes the ship may have gone down in heavy trees in the Alaskan wilderness. Lonz's sister, Mrs. E. L. Disel, To- Jedo, Ohlo, arrived Wednesday at Fairbanks, from which point the search has been carried on. Birds Move Golf Balls.
