a NEUTRALITY HELD ABOVE TRADE GAIN Senators Laud “Own Risk” Policy Even at Loss of $50,000,000 Exports. By the Assoclated Press. The neutrality program proclaimed by President Roosevelt won praise today from several Senators and a man who had charge of enforcing America’s neutrality policy before she entered the World War. The opinion was expressed that the new policy should be applied literally even if it meant loss of & $50,000,000 export trade with Italy. “You can't compare commercial transactions with the loss of human lives,” commented Senator Norris, Republican, of Nebraska. Others took a similar position, including Senators Donahey, Democrat, of Ohio, and| Pope, Democrat, of Idaho, and Charles Warren of Dedham, Mass., who was Assistant Attorney General from 1914 to 1918 and as such had charge of the enforcement of matters connected with America’s neutrality. The new policy on which they com- mented embraces an embargo on arms | shipments to Italy and Ethiopia, and | presidential warnings that Americans | who travel on ships of either country, | or carry on any transactions with | them, do so at their own risk. $14,000,000 Trade in Eight Months. The United States exported $44,000,- 000 worth of goods to Italy in the first eight months of 1935, as com- pared with a few thousand dollars worth to Ethiopia. Concerning this point, Norris said: “You can't trade human lives for any commercial benefits. We could afford to lose that trade with Italy.” The fact the President went beyond the wording of the neutrality act in declaring “any transactions” with the belligerents would be at the risk of the participant and without governmental protection drew praise from Donahey. “I'd rather he would go beyond the law than underneath it said the | Ohioan, “The American people have | got fixed ideas about neutrality, at | least they have in my State. I'd like to see the President’s policy carried out literally. I'm back of his mani- festo 100 per cent.” The legislator said peace would be *cheap if we lost all our trade with Ttaly.” “Other nations can trade with us,” he added. Policies of Past Scouted. Asked if the stand taken by Con- gress and the President did not repre- sent an epochal change in the old | “freedom of the seas” motto, Donahey tilted back in his seat and asserted: “If policies of the past get us into | war, let’s change the policies.” Senator Pope, just returned from an unofficial survey of conditions abroad, was “very much pleased” with the President’s position and thought | it would prove “very helpful.” He said loss of trade would be a small price to pay for neutrality preservation. “At the same time, we would be | co-operating with other nations in | their program.” he said. Pope will | speak on neutrality in Minneapolis tonight and in St. Paul tomorrow | night. Warren, who maintains an office here, characterized the President's warning about “any transactions” as the “boldest, most important and most effective step toward keeping this country out of war ever taken by the United States. It recognizes that the right of the United States to keep out of war is greater than the right of & citizen to engage in trade which might implicate the United States in war.” War (Continued From First Page.) of Trade, chairman of the group of shippers and export houses known as the Conference on Port Develop- ment in the City of New York. DESERTIONS REPORTED. Natives Said to Be Quitting Italian | Force Wholesale. (Copyright. 1935, by the Associated Press.) ADDIS ABABA, October 8.—An Ethiopian official said today the Ital- jan Army on the northern front was suffering wholesale desertions of its native soldlers. “Information received from the north shows that Ethiopians serving in the Italian Army are deserting en masse,” the official asserted. “Fifty armed Eritreans under the command of an important chief, ar- rived at Makale, south of Aduwa, with Italian machine guns. In the Agame region, 200 armed Eritreans surren- dered to authorities.” Warriors Mass in Hills. Ethiopian warriors, meanwhile, massed in the hills south of Aduwa, confronting the northern Fascist force. Whether the great concentration augured the first major pitched battle of the six-day campaign or whether the Ethiopians would decide upon harrying tactics was unknown. Wild scenes occurred at the Addis Ababa railroad station when American women and childsen and other foreign- ers attempted to board the train today for Djibouti, French Somaliland. The exodus was so great that crowds bidding farewell to their friends be- came unmanageable. Hundreds of persons, fearing Italian air raids on the capital. cluttered the _— SPECIAL NOTICES.

Many were turned back be- cause of the scarcity of accommoda- tions. A French director of the railroad detached the locomotive from today’s train and refused to permit it to move until the entire platform of the station was cleared. Consuls Quarrel With Officials. His action led to a bedlam which was accentuated when departing Italian consuls from Dessye and Debra Markos quarreled with customs offi- cials over the examination of their baggage. After a half-hour delay the train finally pulled out. Americans and other foreigners in Addis Ababa expressed amazement at sensational reports published abroad of disturbances in the capital, where all has been tranquil and orderly. Foreigners have been treated in kindly fashion, and Americans were confident of adequate protection in a modern, spacious, shellproof dugout, constructed by the German Legation in the event of air raids. | The German Minister to Addis| Ababa, Hans Kirchholtes, told the | Associated Press: “Knowing you have no bombproof protection, I welcome all Americans to my legation.” Uninformed of Fighting. A government spokesman said he had no news of the reported fall of Aksum on the northern front, and had not been advised of fighting today on any front. Concerning rumors that Premier Mussolini had made peace proposals man said: “The government has not received such and considers that any over- tures must be made through the League, which is handling the entire situation.” Commenting on repeated reports of fighting to the north, the Ethiopian general headquarters said Ras Seyoum, Governor of East Tigre Province, had received strict instructions to keep | his forces behind the 20-mile neutral zone, allowing none but outposts to keep contact with the Italians. This order, coupled with extremely lenient treatment of Italian officials here, was believed generally to indi- cate that the Emperor still wished to find a peaceful solution, especially as Mussolini had realized his ob- Jective of occupying Aduwa and avenging the previous Italian disaster there. Morale Remains Excellent. Ethiopian advices from the Northern front indicated that the morale of the front line remained excellent and that the warriors were not dis- mayed by the loss of the city where they routed Italians 40 years ago. Aduwa was reported virtually empty, the Fascist columns not oc- cupying more than the outer fringe of the city for fear of falling into an Ethiopian trap. Ras Seyoum took to the hills with his forces for a position giving greater freedom of movement. A more optimistic feeling prevailed in the capital than at any time since the outbreak of hostilities. Intimates of Emperor Haile Selassie said he was in highest spirits, although no reason was given for this feeling. Ethiopian sources insisted that owing to the difficult nature of the country, the Italian artillery and in- fantry from the home country had been able to constitute little more than auxiliary services for the hardened native Eritrean troops under the Ital- ian banner. Advancing Steadily. Military observers recognized that the Italian commanders were making their advance steadily, but without rushing, adopting the wise tactics of consolidating every yard of territory gained. From the southern front came re- ports of the Italian advance from Italian Somaliland into the forbidding ground of the Ogaden Province Desert. Only advance guards of the Fascist forces have succeeded in penetrating the waterless plateau of this part of Ethiopia, advices said. The defending troops have not yet become involved in any serious conmct with the in- vaders. ‘The Italian troops, consolidating their positions in the Aduwa and Adigrat sectors, still had more than 200 miles to go through narrow, haz- ardous mountain passes before reach- ing Dessye, center of Ethiopian troop concentrations.

Italy was really ready, they said, to | “meet military sanctions with military | measures,” should League develop- ments warrant. Informed sources said the League action in declaring Italy had resorted | to war in violation of Article XII of | the covenant, making Article XVI and its sanctions operative, would have | another answer from Italy soon in further advances by Fascist troops into Ethiopia. The general opinion here was that after the positions around Aduwa had | the southeast would be designated and promptly taken. The capital rang throughout the night to the shouts of some 20.000 pa- | rading farmers and peasants who in- | vaded Rome in 400 antiquated farm | trucks, shouting “Viva Il Duce.” and displaying placards bearing the slogan: “Aduwa Is Ours.” The farmers demonstrated in front of the French Embassy, but the French Ambassador did not appear. | Italy's last crop produced almost | enough wheat flour to supply the entire consumption for Italy’s nearly 44,000,000 residents. Italy exports tons of rice, which | could be limited, and has corn in abundance. The Fascist reforestation schemes give her thousands of po- | tential tons of wood. Acts Against Sanctions. Financially and industrially, Mus- | solini has taken a step against pos- sible sanctions with these measures: A 10,000,000,000-lire war loan, forced conversion of rental deposits into | government bonds, elevation of me‘ price of gasoline to more than it | costs the government in the world | market, obligatory conversion of all foreign credits into government bonds, a 10 per cent tax on all company dividends, creation of a general com- missariat for fabrication of war ma- | terials and creation of & monopoly on coal, copper, nickel and other valuable raw products imports to be used to a patriotic advantage in bar- gaining in world markets. Government statisticians estime*~d the war in Ethiopia would cost 10,- 000,000,000 lire. They insisted it would not only be paid out of purely Italian resources, but that the measures now afoot would enable Italy to wipe out its budget deficit—now 3! billion lire—by the end of 1937. GEN. GREELY ILL AT WALTER REED Arctic Adventurer, Holder of| Medal of Honor, Is in Se- rious Condition. Gen. Adolphus W. Greely, 91, holder of the Medal of Honor for his expedition in the Far North more than half a century ego, is seriously ill at Walter Reed Hospital. Gen. Greely was taken to the Army hospital yesterday after failing to re- spond to treatment at home for a generally rundown condition. He had been under care of military physicians for several weeks, but has grown steadily weaker. The Arctic adventurer, who lost 18 of his 25 men on an expedition after reaching the then “Farthest North"— 83 degrees and 24 minutes—has been in poor health since a severe attack of intestinal influenza about 10 years ago. Last March he was presented with the Congressional Medal of Honor as & belated recognition of his services to the country. The award was made | at an impressive ceremony at his home, 3131 O street. Gen. Greely is said to be suffering from several complications which have | not been definitely diagnosed. His advanced age is against him in the fight to stave off the illness, it was explained.

The idea behind the move was that | Britain, supported by other interested i powers, should take the leadership ' in the sanctions program and that | Britain would be requested to adopt | the initiative in accordance with de- | velopments in the situation. | The Italian delegation was extremely incensed over yesterday's refusal by the League Council to postpone dis- cussion of the Committee of Six re- ports which indicted Italy for dis- regard of the Covenant. Aloisi Sends Statement. Instead of carrying out his original plan to request & new session of the Council in order to present his ob- Jjections, Baron Pompeo Aloisi of Italy sent a written statement to the League secretariat, protesting anew against the failure to grant a postponement. Aloisi’s protest said: “After the | decision by which the Council at its the request for adjournment of dis- cussion of the report of its Committee of Six, presentation of the Italian theses which motivated my request for postponement is now purposeless.” “The reason given for the refusal of my request proves that the Council, | because of motives and circumstances | which I refrain from discussing, has deemed it useless to hear from the most interested party.

Without waiting for the answer, League statesmen went ahead with plans to co-ordinate the complicated network of sanctions made compulsory by the Council verdict. With them they will attempt to entangle and paralyze the mechanism of Mussolini’s East African war machine. Sanctions Outlined. Article XVI of the League covenant, which became operative against Italy, sketches the broad outlines of such sanctions and declares it the duty of the League member states to enforce | them. The details of the plan, a blueprint of the actual machinery of sanctions, remained to be drawn. These details were discussed today in conferences between the leading dele- gates. The League Assembly will meet tomorrow to create a co-ordination committee to draft the actual plan and to fix the date when it should apply. League sources said it could be safely assumed that if the Assembly heeded Great Britain the world-wide network of sanctions would not be weak. Discussion centered on whether those sanctions should involve moral disap- probation, financial and trade restric- tions, or use of armed force. Article XVI, League officials ex- plained, not only obligates League members to sever trade and financial relations with an aggressor, but to undertake prevention of all inter- course between citizens of the Cov- enant-breaking state and any other state, whether a member of the League or not. — e KANSAS CITY, October 8 (#).— Motorists who violated traffic rules in | the lives of women and children; D. C. TUESDAY, ON WARMONGERS Neutrahty Seen Difficult if Other Nations Join Afri- can War. By the Associated Press. BOISE, Idaho, October 8.—Sena- tor William E. Borah warned the United States last night to guard against “subtle ways of propagand- ists” in striving to stay out of war. The veteran Idaho Republican pre- dicted it “will not be difficult for this country” to avoid entanglement in the Italo-Ethiopian conflict “should the war remain a war between the two nations now involved.” “But,” he said, “should other coun- tries feel their supremacy in the Mediterranean, or their territorial in- terests threatened, then will begin an appeal to the United States to enter the conflict in the name and for the preservation of world peace.” Senator Borah deplored the killing of women and children by bombing planes. He termed modern warfare “mass murder” and said it would be “vain to prophesy” how long the Italo-Ethiopian struggle will remain lo- calized. His address was broadcast over a national network. Propagandists Not Inactive. Even now, he said, the prop: gandists “are by no means inactive, although “the full force of war propa- ganda will not be released” under present conditions. “Neither will financial and commer- cial interests be so deeply aficte should the present situation continue. He confessed “a feeling of dis- couragement and moral confusion” at news from the war front, adding: “We seem forced to admit that the settlement of international contro- versies through peaceful means is a | long way off.” He asserted that “whether this war remains localized or whether it spreads, it will be a war for territory, over natural resources, over issues dis- tinctly and in every phase of them European—a war from which we should courageously remain aloof. —— | may cost us some trade, some profits; | it may require some sacrifice from the | part of the citizens to remain aloof.

Honest Neutrality Is Policy. “We have as a government in- dicated our purpose to remain dis- entangled from this war and to hold to the position of honest neutrality. Clearly that should be our policy and clearly we should live up to this policy in fact as well as in theory.” The Senator lashed out again at what he contends is the shortcomings | of the League of Nations in matters | of war and its inadequacy in coping | with situations arising between its | various members. “Peace is of tremendous moment to the people of this country and to all peoples,” he- concluded, “but of greater moment still, of greater | moment than all things else, is the | preservation of constitutional de- mocracy. No policy can be wholly free from difficulty and danger, but experience has proved that the saf- est policy for us is to remain free from all foreign controversies.” Security 4Conlinued Ffi'om First Page) | to my country, I make all reservations | serve as the agency through which | RUe from titles eight and nine will be | as to what later decisions my govern- | the stamp devices are to be marketed. $2.784,200,000 for the calendar year The social security act gives the bu- reau an option in connection with this specifying that it might ad- minister the tax through returns u desired, This levy, imposed on wages paid by employers and income of employes, begins on January, 1937, with the rate set at 1 per cent on each group for the first three years and increasing by one-half of 1 per cent for each three years until each classification is pay- ing 3 per cent after 1948, Basing their calculations on the 1930 census, officials have estimated that there will be slightly more than 48,000,000 gainful workers in the United States in 1937. Subtracting about 12,000,000 owners, operators and professional persons, and about 10,000,000 workers in exempted oc- cupations, it is estimated that about 25,000,000 employes will be called on to pay this tax. In addition, it is figured some 1,200,000 employers will be taxed. $560,200,000 First Year. The total revenue thus expected under title 8 is calculated at $560,- 200,000 for the first full fiscal year, that ending on June 30, 1938, in which the tax is applied. With the rates increasing as noted above, this revenue is expected to reach $1,877,- 200,000 in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1950, first full year under the maximum rate of 6 per cent.

With both the Society Security Board and the Internal Revenue Bureau requir- ing access to these records, the re- sponsibility for their maintenance is one of the factors yet to be settled in administration of this part of the act. If the stamp tax plan is adopted collections under this title will start immediately on January 1, 1937, and will continue in a steady flow.

Four Scourges, Disease Deeply Rooted, Handicap Ethiopians Only Science of Western Powers May th Country of Typhus, Tick Fever and BY LAURENCE STALLINGS. HARAR, September 23 (by airmail). —Regardless of the Italo-Ethiopian dispute, only the science of Western powers may eliminate the four great scourges of Ethiopia, diseases which are deeply rooted in the populace. Typhus is such 4 common disease— as common as whooping cough—that any attempt to eradicate it by cleanli- ness is beyond the farthest conjecture, the native Ethiopian peasant being, in his general husbandry, as insanitary a man as inhabits the globe. Emperor Halle Selassie, who is a modernist, believed that typhus innoc- ulation among 200,000 soldiers might be the opening plan in a campaign against this disease. Accordingly, fol- lowing successful innoculations for typhus by Polish doctors in China, he corresponded with laboratories at Lem- berg, and received the reply that three months were required to develop serum sufficient for 150 innoculations. Louse Carries Discase. ‘The carrier of typhus is a small, blackish louse, and contact with na- tives inevitably finds the intruder en- dowed with several of these little creatures. They are so prevalent that yesterday, while the governor of this province was hearing a state case, the correspondent observed a coun- cilor's friendly action in plucking a louse from a fellow statesman. He flicked the little pest on to the carpet with the utmost politeness, his col- league barely inclining his head in thanks. Natives dip their clothing in rancid butter, which sometimes is fairly ef- | fective as defense agaihst the lice. Fleas, however, which do not carry typhus, are hardly considered pests. One correspondent fleas himself nightly, though the inconvenience caused by flea powder in a fresh bite is considerable. Fleas in a reasonable quantity, as David Harum observed, are good for & dog: “They keep him | from brooding on being a dog.” In | this war to end all war correspondents, it may be that fleas are equally prov- | idential. It is the tick which doctors here | employers of eight or more persons, the rate being 1 per cent of total wages in 1936 and increasing by 1 per cent each year until a maximum of 3 per cent is reached. Proceeds from this toll are to be devoted to the unem- | ployment compensation program. In | States where an approved State plan ;exxsu the employer is credited by the Federal Government with 90 per cent of his State contribution, only the remaining 10 per cent to be de- manded by the Federal Government. Returns by January 31. Enforcement of this tax is to be on the basis of returns such as are filed for individual and corporation income taxes at present. Collections also will follow the income tax scheme and the payment for a calendar year will not be required before March 31 of | the following year. Except for spe- | cially granted extensions, however, re- turns must be filed by January 31. | Payments may be made in lump sum or in quarterly installments. Estimating that about 24,000,000 | employes will be in taxable establish- ments of eight or more workers, tax | experts have calculated revenue of this title at about $240,000,000 for the | calendar year 1936 and at about $800,- 000,000 for the calendar year 1938, first year under the maximum rate. { These Tevenue calculations do not allow for rebate to State administra- tions.

Of all Ethio- pian scourges, tick fever is the most obstinate, and the widest spread. The | tsetse fly of Lake Tana and the Nile country of Ethiopia is nothing so dreadful as this chap, who seems to lurk everywhere, fastening to boots in joyful anticipation of nightfall, when usually a favorite place of hiding is a sock. Malaria is rated in third place. At lease, it flourishes in certain areas, radically defined. Quinjne is hardly |’ procurable here. At Diredawa, 40| miles away, it is a staple article of diet, for the anopheles mosquito does his work nightly there. One of our group, having passed a night there, | came down with a 105-degree fever ex- actly eight days later, thus acquiring 2 quinine regimen in the shortest pos- sible time in Africa. Even so, tick fever is more dreaded by doctors than | either typhus or malaria. The fourth of these great scourges is a social disease.

Hundreds of Prisoners Are Captured By the Associated Press. ROME, October 8—Italian casual- ties were described as very few, but those of Ethiopians as heavy in an official communique today concerning the war thus far in East Africa. There was no mention of a resump- tion of an advance into Ethiopia by the Pascist forces on this sixth day of open hostilities. The communique instead described digging-in operations and reported that “hundreds of prisoners and much war materials” were captured in re- cent days. An attempted attack by Ethiopians on Om-Ager was reported to have been repulsed by native troops around | Tessenei.

A surprising num! of Ethiopian barons have had the benefits of Euro- | pean education, and they are desper- ately sensitive to any disparagement of their country. It is possible, were supplies forthcoming, that medical clean-ups could begin with the speed and dispatch of the Bolsheviks. It is hardly probable, however, as just now these feudal lords think mainly of modern rifles. (Copyright. 1935, by the North American Newspaper Alliance. Inc.. and and Fox Movietone News.)
