BERLIN, September 24—Sugges- tions for wholesale transference of Jewish-owned businesses into Aryan hands in & manner “satisfactory to both sides” were made today by the Nazi economic-political service. The service advocated formation of a “collective institution” to handle all such transactions. , It reported that Jews were increas- ingly anxious to dispose of their enter- prises, partly because of their desire to emigrate and partly because their businesses were becoming unprofitable through reluctance of Aryan clients to deal with Jews. Its suggestion proposed that major banks create a concern among theme selves to deal with available proposi- tions, or that an independent trust be formed to advance funds to Aryan purchasers, at the same time satisfying the seller, “provided the course of business be a sound purchase and acceptable.” 2 “If Jews wish to quit Germany, we must give them-the facilities for dis- posing of their businesses to the satis- faction of both sides,” the service said.

ROME, September 24 (#).—Coin- cident with the meeting of Premier Mussolini's cabinet today the gov- | ernment-controlled Rome press inti- | mated that the League of Nations had exhausted its possibilities in the Italo- Ethiopian controversy. 11 Duce told his ministers that Italy had offered no counter-proposals to the League settlement plan and ad- journed the cabinet until Saturday to enable them to follow further de- velopments in Europe and Africa. Mussolini said his communication to the League merely stated Italy's rea- sons for rejecting the League Com- mittee of Five's proposals. Possibilities Outlined, The premier outlined to the cabinet the possibilities of “developments in the situation on the basis of some articles of the League covenant and the attitude Italy will assume accord- ing to the circumstances. Developments since the Saturday cabinet meeting, Il Duce said, ‘“demon-~ strate that the attitude of the Ital- ian government could not have been different.” The cabinet decreed the expenditure of 1,000,000 lire (about $80,000) for construction of aircraft shelters in Messina. The ministers also approved a number of technical regulations for the regular army and the Black Shirts. Duce Sees Drummond. Today's cabinet meeting followed & conference last night between Musso- lini and 8ir Eric Drummond, British Ambassador to Rome. Drummond, received by Mussolini last night, presented a personal dis- claimer from Sir Samuel Hoare, British foreign secretary, of anything but a British desire to uphold the prestige of the League of Nations in the pres- ent crisis. This caused a feeling in British circles that the spade work had been accomplished for a resumption of direct negotiations between Italy and -| England on the Ethiopian problem..

Committee Proposes Policing Ethiopia, By the Associated Press, ENEVA, September 24— The official text of the League of Nations’ com- mittee of five plan for an Italo - Ethiopian * settlement, as made public today, follows: “1. The committee which was instructed to make a general ex- amination of Italo-Ethiopian re- lations and to seek a pacific settlement has endeavored to find a basis of negotiation. In doing 80, it has been guided first by the obligations respecting the inde- pendence, territorial integrity, and security of all states, members of the League; second by the neces- sity of insuring good and neigh- borly relations between the state members of the League. “The committee expressed no opinion on the documents fur- nished by the two parties and confined itself to the facts of the situation which need to be rem- edied. “2. On admission to the League, Ethiopia assumed special obliga- tions, regarding certain matters— in particular slavery and the traffic in arms. She declared her- self ‘ready to furnish the Council any information which it may re- quire and to take into considera- tion any recommendation which the Council may make with re- gard to the fulfillment of these obligations in which she recog- nized that the League of Nations is concerned.’ Ethiopia’s Request for Powers’ Aid Recalled. “3. In his speech at the plenary meeting of the assembly Septem- ver 11, the first delegate of Ethiopia spoke as follows: ‘Any suggestion calculated to raise the economic, financial, or political level of the nation to which I have the honor to belong, provided it proceeds from the League of Nations and is to be carried out in the actual spirit of the covenant, will be regarded by Ethiopia as an action of sister nations which have reached a more advanced stage of civilization and are sin- cerely desirous of guiding my country in the path of progress. Any proposal of that kind will be welcomed. I am tonvinced my country will examine it with the greatest good will and with real gratitude.’ “4, In these . circumstances, it appears to be the duty of the League of Nations to offer and ex- tend to the Ethiopian government collaboration and assistance on a collective international basis so as . to enable the latter to undertake resolutely the wide measures of constructive action necessary not only to improve the lot of the Ethi- opian people and to develop the natural resources of the country but also to enable the empire to live in harmony with its neighbors. In view of the obligation of every member of the League to respect the independence of other mem- bers, every plan of assistance should receive the previous consent of the Ethiopian government. International Policing of Borders Proposed. The general outline of the form which international assistance to Ethiopia, with a view to her ad- ministrative reform and economic development, might take is given below: “Section 2. “l. Charter of assistance: “Recalling the work previously done by the League, & charter of assistance will take the form of a protocol reporting the acceptance by the Ethiopian government of the plan of reforms drawn up by the Council of the League; “2. Public services requiring re- organization—police and gen- darmerie: . “A mission of foreign specialists shall be appointed to organize a corps of police and gendarmerie which will be responsible for: (A) Insuring the application through the empire of existing and future laws or (a) prohibiting and ob- structing slavery, (b) strictly regu- lating the carrying of arms by persons not belonging to the regu~ lar army or police and gendarmerie forces; (B) which Europeans reside Absbe, Deridaws and Harsr; (O) ‘Text of League Peace Plan and Developing Resources. —Copyright, A. P. Wirephoto. Collaborate Suppressing Slavery Nations in insuring the security of agricul- tural areas where Europeans may oe: numerous and where local ad- ministrations may be insufficiently developed to provide them with adequate protection; (D) main- taining order in frontier territories of the empire so as to safeguard neighboring territories against in- cursions, particularly of those ‘whose object is slave traffic, loot- ing and smuggling. “In the areas referred to under *C’ and ‘D’ above, the police and gendarmerie missions should par- ticipate in general gdministration to an extent varying according to the standard reached by local au- thorities as to the nature of the problem to be solved. Foreign Participation in Develop- i ment Suggested. “3. Economic development: “(A) The possibility for for- eigners to participate in the eco- nomic development of the country (land tenure), mining regulations, the exercise of commercial and in- dustrial activities; (B) foreign trade—economic equality on & basis of reciprocity; (C) public works and communications; (D) posts, telegraphs, and telephones. “4. Finance: “(A) The drawing up of budget supervision for State expenditures; (B) the assessment and collection of taxes, fees and dues; (C) the establishment and operation of fiscal monopolies; (D) steflies in connection with loans which would be required for the development of the country ‘and for carrying out certain reforms—if necessary, the control of pledges assigned to the service of loans. “5. Other public services: “(A) Justice—the reorganization of a mixed court by which to try cases between foreigners and Ehio- pians; native justice; “(B) education; C) public health, "Section 3. “The internal structure and or- ganization for assistance. “If their mission is to bring re- sults, foreign specialists, even where they are not invested with special administrative powers, must be able to rely on the effective co- operation of the Ethiopian authori- ties whom they are assisting. Furthermore, if their work is to be effective, it must be co-ordi- nated. It would be expedient to provide a central organism both to co-ordinate the work of as- sistance and services and to secure for them the necessary support of the Ethiopian government. Authority of League Delegate is Outlined. “The principal adviser would be placed at the head of each of the four public services or groups of public services mentioned in the previous section. The principal advisers must either: (A) be sub- ordinate to a person who would be both their chief and at the same time the delegate of the League of Nations, accredited to the Emperor, or, (B) a form of commission presided over by one of them who would be a delegate of the League- of Nations. “Section 4. “The appointment of a staff: “The delegate of the League and the principal advisers will be ap- pointed. by the Council of the League, with the agreement of the Emperor. Agents other than the principsal advisers will be appointed by the Emperor on the nomination of the League or with his in- THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. T, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1935 ETHIOPIANS MOVE 10 GUARD BORDER Warriors, Equipped With Two Months’ Rations, Act to Meet Attack. By the Associated Press. ADDIS ABABA, September 24.—An advance of thousands of Ethiopian warriors toward the Northeast frontier to guard against a surprise attack by Italian forces was reported today from Aduwa. The warriors were said to be equipped with two months’ rations. The soldiers were enrolled in the national army from Northern Ethiopia. Arms Sold to Citizens, In order to equip all able-bodied citizens with firearms, Emperor Haile Selassie now is selling modern rifles on the installment plan to those who can affoffrd to pay. Obsolete rifles gradually are being scrapped. Serious disputes appear to have arisen between the Belgian govern- ment and 11 Belgian retired officers ‘whom the Ethiopian government plans to use as the nucleus of a special police force for the protection of lega- tions and foreigners. The Brussels government was re- | ported to have demanded the imme- diate repatriation of these officers, presumably under pressure by Italy, but the officers refused to leave, argu- ing that they are private citizens and no longer connected with the Belgian Army. . Enriched by Message Tolls. American and other correspondents have enriched the Emperor's war treasury to the extent of $150,000 by message tolls so far this month. This figure is nearly 10 times greater than the entire revenues from the radio | station in 1934. It was said that the government may purchase additional | firearms with the revenues. Selassie invited members of the dip- lomatic corps, including Italian Min- ister Luigi \Vinci-Gigliucci, today to inspect the model prison which he recently dedicated. His majesty personally showed the diplomats the spot where he intended | to build a chapel and manual work- shop adjoining the prison for in- mates. The Emperor built the prison at his own expense, expending about $100,000. | dorsement, according to the nature and the importance of their func- tions. “Section 5. “Relations with the League.

Mussolini’s ability to retaliate to the threat of the British government to blockade Italy’s coasts was the principal subject discussed at the cabinet meeting today at 10 Down- ing street, according to information which reached Washington this morn- ing. ‘The Imperial Committee for Na- tional Defense is reported to have in- formed the cabinet that Great Brit- ain can no longer claim a dominant position in the Mediterranean, as has been the case heretofore.

During the last two years, Musso- | lini, who foresaw ‘the possibility of Great Britain preventing by force his expansionist policy in Africa, has pre- pared his country for any emergency and has developed a barrage between | Sicily and the North African Coast which will render the communication between Western and the Eastern Mediterranean practically impossible. | In mid-Mediterrancan between Sic- ily and North Africa the widest ex- panse of sea is barcly 200 miles. A small island, Pantelleria, is situated | between the two coasts. This island | has been fortified oy the Italians to | such a point that it is considered now a second Gibraltar. Mussolini has constructed a power- ful submarine and air base in the Gulf of Augusta in southern Sicily, while the waters of the Gulf of Ben- | gasi on the African coast offer an ex- | cellent shelter for Italian submarines. | Basing his naval and air forces on these three important points, I Duce without much trouole can close the communications of the British fleet between the Suez Canal and Gibraltar by concentrating all his naval and air strength on that narrow sea passage. | The other sea lane between Italy in Sicily, the straits of Messina, which is only 4 miles wide, can be as easily closed to commercial and war \'essels‘ “The delegate or commission will, whenever necessary and at least once a year, make reports which will be communicated to the Emperor at the same time as they are addressed to the Council of the League. “The Ethiopian government will submit to the Council any obser- vations it may wish to formulate in regards to these reports. The reports and observations, if any, will be studied by the Council at the earliest possible date. Five Years Suggested As Minimum Period. “Section 6. “Durstion of the plan. “As the work of assistance must be long, it would seem imprac- ticable to assign to the plan a relatively brief duration such as five years. It would, however, be desirable to provide that the plan may be renewed at the end of five years by the council of the League so as to take into account the experience gained during that period. “Representatives of France and / e ' e CUNBERNE Eatmor _ranrnberries the United Kingdom have in- formed the committee of five that, with a view to contributing to the peaceful settlement of the Italo- Ethiopian dispute, their respective governments are ready to facili- tate any territorial adjustment be= tween Italy and Ethiopia by offer- ing, if necessary, certain sacrifices in the region of the Somaliland coast. “In negotiating on this subject, the governments of the French re- public and the United Kingdom will take care to obtain from the Ethiopian government guarantees regarding the execution in the ter- ritories to be acquired by it of the obligation by which Ethiopia is bound in regard to slavery and the traffic in arms. “The representatives of France and the United Kingdom have further informed the committee of five of their respective govern- ments without wishing to impair the existing regime in regard to the treatment of foreigners and in regard to external trade, that they are prepared to recognize the spe- cial Italian interest in the eco~ nomic development of Ethiopia. “Consequently, these govern- ments will look with favor on the conclusion of an economic agree= ment between Italy and Ethiopia on the condition that the existing rights of French and British na- tionals are protected and their persons respected by the two pare ties and that the recognized ine terests of France and the United Kingdom, under all agreements al- ready enforced, will- be gafes, guarded.” —— Children Watched.
