By EDWARD W. PICKARD AILE SELASSIE couldn't whip the Italians in the Ethiopian war, but the fugitive emperor won Lg the battie of Geneva and put Benito Mus- solini’'s nose out of joint. After an ex- citing debate, the League of Nations assembly voted, 39 to 4, to seat the Ethiopian delega- tion, now headed by the emperor’s Amer- 3 ican adviser. The negative votes were Haile Selassie cast by Hungary, Austria and Albania, all under the thumb of Italy, and Ecuador. Ethi- opia, Portugal and four other coun- tries refrained from voting. Rather surprisingly Great Britain and France espoused the cause of Ethi- opia, though it had been thought they considered the co-operation of Italy in the league of more impor- tance than justice to the African realm. The heated debate was closed when Capt. Anthony Eden, British foreign minister, said: “Enough of this nonsense! There never has been any sufficient ground to unseat the Ethiopian delegation.” The credentials committee in rec- ommending the action taken said it applied to the present session only. Its report asserted that certain doc- the members alleged that Ethiopian governmental authority has been set up in sections of Ethiopia not occu- pied by the Italians. Seating of the Ethiopians made it certain that no Italian delegation would attend this session, and it was believed by many that Mussoli- ni might withdraw formally from the league. It was a victory not only for Ethiopia but also for the smaller European powers, which felt that league submission to Italy would be disastrous to their own security. Sir Samuel Hoare, first lord of the British admiralty, added to Italian resentment against Great Britain by declaring in London that the British intended to maintain their suprem- acy in the Mediterranean and would modernize and consolidate their na- val, military and air defenses be- tween Gibraltar and the Suez ca- nal “in the light of recent experi- ence.” Malta, he said, would re- main the first and principal base of the British fleet in the Mediterrane- an and would be strengthened to meet conditions. Work on Cyprus as a military, naval and air base is being hurried to make that island a complement to Malta. Sir Samuel asserted that the development of Italian air power has not endan- gered the British position in the Mediterranean. HREE members of the mari- time commission authorized in the closing days of the last congress were appointed by President Roose- velt. They are: Rear Admiral Hen- ry A. Wiley, US.N. retired; Rear Admiral Harry G. Hamlet, coast guard; George Landick, Jr., chief of the planning section of the pro- curement division of the Treasury department, The commission will administer regulatory body in conduct of mer- chant marine affairs, and operate generally in the nature of the inter- state commerce commission.

The route of their parade was six blocks on Pennsyl- vania avenue, the scene of the grand review of the Union armies before President Andrew Johnson seventy- one years ago. C. H.

SSERTIONS made by William Randolph Hearst and other op- ponents of the New Deal that the President ‘“‘passively accepts” the support of the Com- munists have got under Mr. Roose- velt's skin. A state- ment issued through Stephen T. Early, his secretary, said: “My attention has been called to a Cc er tain notorious newspaper owner to make it appear that ; ! the President pas- W. R. Hearst | sively accepts the support of alien | organizations hostile to the Ameri- can form of governmen. “Such articles are conceived in | malice and born of political spite. | They are deliberately framed to give a false impression, in other words to ‘frame’ the American people. “The President does not want and | does not welcome the vote or sup- | port of any individual or group tak- | ing orders from alien sources. | “This simple fact is, of course, ob- vious, | “The American people will not | permit their attention to be diverted from real issues to fake issues which no patriotic, honorable, de- cent citizen would purposely inject | into American affairs.” Mr. Hearst, who was in Amster- dam, promptly replied by cable, saying in part: “The President has issued a state- ment through a secretary. He has not had the frankness to say to | whom he refers in the statement « « I think I am justified in as- suming that I am the object of the statement, and that I may cour- teously endeavor to correct Mr. Roosevelt's misstatements and to set him right , . “Let me say that I have not stated | at any time whether the President | willingly or unwillingly received the | support of the Karl Marx Socialists, the Frankfurter radicals, commu- nists and anarchists, the Tugwell bolsheviks, and the Richberg rev- olutionists which constitute the bulk of his following. “l have simply said and shown | tem of government, and that he has done his best to deserve the support of all such disturbing and destruc- tive elements.” OUR Chinese gunmen in Shang- hai killed one Japanese marine | in a few minutes a Japanese land- The Japanese naval mander declared martial law com- in in the search for Tanks, armored cars, fighting between the Japanese and the Chinese Nineteenth route army in 1932.

It is designed to guard the farmers and the consumers against the danger of food shortages or price collapses. Two com- mittees were named to work out legisla- tion to be asked of the next congress. Mr. Roosevelt named Secretary of M. L. Cooke Agriculture Henry A. Wallace chairman of a commit tee directed to ‘‘prepare a report and recommendations for legislation providing a plan of “all risk crop insurance,” and suggested that the system provide for payment of pre- miums and insurance in commodi- ties. This is in accord with Wal- lace’'s proposed plan under which farmers would put part of their crops of good years into a pool fiom which they could draw in lean years. It would serve, he believes, to keep surpluses from destroying the price structure in good years and provide an insurance’ against crop failures in other years. Morris L.
