He sells his freedom for a mess OF

of the HooSac Mills of Massachusetts

GENEVA. December 10.-Represent-
atives of the smaller powers which are
members of the League of Nations
were reported tonight to have under
taken a virtual rebellion against the
concessions to Italy reported offered
by France and Great Britain as price
for peace between Italy and Ethiopia.
(In London insistence upon unbend-
ing application Of pressure against
Italy to give up her venture in Ethiopia
grew to the proportions of revolt in
the House of Commons against Prime
Minister Baldwin. The revolt was at
tributed to what was described as
proposal to permit Premier Ml;ssolini
of Italy to dictate "conqueror's terms"
to Ethiopia)
Grave Crisis Is Seen.
Some delegates went to the limit of
saying that if newspaper versions of
the Anglo-French peace plan were
confirmed, a grave crisis would de-
velop within the League.
The forecast that certain nations
might even resign on the probable
grounds that the League was being
used to give a premium to aggression
by strong powers against weaker.
One delegate described the reason
for the rebellion as saying his country
had participated in the League sane
tions against Italy to prevent aggres-
sion against Ethiopia and to establish
a precedent for the future of collective
security against war.
Cites Financial Losses.
Another delegate, alluding to the
financial losses suffered by some Of
the sanctionist countries, demanded:
why should we lose money to IA
cilitate big power deal?"
The efforts by France and Great
Britain to end the Italo-E Ethiopian
War may block further sanctions
against Italy, an authoritative source
indicated.
A League of Nations official said
there was a possibility the Committee
of 18, scheduled to meet Thursday,
might not convene until some future
date.
The committees agenda calls for
the discussion Of an oil embargo
against Italy. The official indicated
the Anglo-French negotiations had
reached such stage that new sane
tions might embarrass the cause of
peace.

gal, chairman of the committee, how

JULY 4TH PROGRAM. UNDER DISCUSSION
Committee May Award Contract for Fireworks
 Tonight
WASHINGTON HILL

There will be an important meet ing of the activities committee oi the Washington Park Community club tonight at o'clock at the Community house. It is expected that the contract for the fireworks will be given out tonight and oth. CT plans for the Independence day celebration at the park will be made. Chairman Ted Donahue will preside at the meeting.
 Sidewalk Wanted
 For the past week or more there has been great talk of having a group of residents in the vicinity oi the Community house pay a visit to Superintendent of Streets Thomas Fleming and ask that new side- walk be placed on Sylvan avenue in front of the Community house The cinder walk is now In very poor condition and after any rain storm a great deal of the surface Is washed away. Saturday during the testimonial for Miss Bossidy at the park, several visitors from other sections of the city were heard to ask why the Commu- nity club did not get after the city to have new walk placed in front of the building.
 Nothing was said at the last meeting of the Community club, but it is more than probable that a delegation will be picked at the next meeting to call on Mir. Flem- a.n ne NEr IYaryfonn af fha na rk department, asking. for improve ments for the sidewalks in the vi- cihity of the club house.

NO DAMAGE FROM
 HEAVY RAINFALL
Minor Floods Reported in Various Sections of
 City

Torrential rainfall during the night signifled at least temporary break in the heat wave, which yes- terday sent the thermometer to 91 degrees. but even with the rain q climb in the humidity was noted, making for consid derable discom- fort. Despite the intensity of the storm, which lasted through the night, the city and suburbs escap- ed with little lasting damage.
 As the rain approached. 1t ap- peared that only a shower was on the way, with ominous black clouds indicating that 1t might be of con- siderable duration. But instead of confining itself to showers, the rain settled into a consistent downpour that lasted through the early day. light hours this morning.
 There were minor floods in sev- eral sections of the city, but by this morning all the trouble spots for cars and pedestrians had been taken care of. In several places. cars were forced to detour during the height of the storm because Of the accumulation of water.

Mad Scramble for Votes

The backstage drive to "get out the vote" was thrilling, intense performance which might remind you of the furores back in the old home town years ago when saloon keepers and the W. c. T. U. fought for possession of horses and bug gies to get voters to the polls for local option elections.
 At least two senators were dragged from sickrooms ahead oi time.
 A night-before drive had switched several votes which New Dealers thought they had sewed up. By a terrific effort, the admni. istration forces clubbed and ca. joled most of them back. into line
 Soe Tumulty, wartime secretary to Woodrow Wilson, and ex-Sena- tor George Moses of New Hamp- shire were among the army oi holding company lobbyists. Emil Hurja, operating chief of the Dem. ocratic National Committee, was calling senators out on behalf oi the bill.-

Lines Sharply Drawn

The reason so many folks here regard the contest as having been Fundamental was that the lines be- tween Roosevelt and Big Business and Big Finance were clearly drawn. Executives of the huge holding companies, their enormous salaries imperiled, spent money recklessly in an effort to balk the New Deals assault on concentra- tions of economic-financial power. Roosevelt lent himself to the fray and his White House liaison man with Congress, Charles West, was hopping all over the place with; the message from on high.
 The Dieterich fight demonstrated that, although Democrats vastly outnumber Republicans in both houses of Congress, there's no clear ''New Dear' majority for Roosevelt's advanced program. Titular administration leaders, although compelled to register in favor of the bill, privately were bitterly opposed to its principles and New Dealers accused them of secretly trying to block or. .emascu- late 1t.
 Democrats who voted for the amendment were of the type which is being proselyted to join an anti Roosevelt bipartisan coalition in 1886,

Turn on Roosevelt

Among democrats voting for the amendment were Byrd and Glass of Virginia, congenital anti-Ncw Dealers; Chavez of New Mexico, who owes his job to administration support in his fight against Bron- son Cutting; Jimmy Byrnes of South Carolina, always rated by liberals as a power trust" friend, but Roosevelt trusted leader; Radcliffe of Maryland, an old personal friend of the president; Nicely of West Virginia, whom progressives for the first time no longer consider one of them; Bankhead, Ashurst, Burke, Cool idge, Duffy. George, Gerry. Hay den, Lonergan, Moore, Reynolds, and Walsh--all of whom support the administration on less import ant issues; and Thomas of Okla homa, reputed to be 'left-wing-
 er'' because of his persistent stand for imitation.
 All these Democrats become
 more or less "doubtful' if there's to be a real showdown between
 Roosevelt and Big Business Big Finance in 1886.

The bul reau agreed to al at Kawaguchfs 2 direction and expense and give him any material turned up.
