Senator Pope in Rage

By CHifed Press
PARIS, Aug. 31.-Signing of an
oil concession in Ethiopia may
bring soon a campaign informing
the American public of the plight
of American missionaries in the
country, Senator James P. Pope, of
Idaho, warned in an interview to-
day.
Il should not be surprised to find
the same interests reported to be
Americana that have obtained the
concession begin such a campaign, J"
Senator Pope said angrily.
ct. would dispel misgivings of
millions of American citizens if the
Administration officially pronounced
that it would not be committed to
defend oil or other concessions in
Ethiopia.
For so years American financial
interests have been trying to Sc
cure American military support for
their ventures abroad. 1t seems to
me it should be made clear that not
one cent of the American taxpayers
money, not one American gun or
soldier will under any condition be
used to protect the interests of con-
cession hunters in Ethiopia.

SENATOR POPE IN RAGE
Flags Attempt to Pull

downright. 1895. by United Press

Adds ABABA, Aug. 81
A 75-year concession to eX-
plot oil resources throughout
the eastern half of Ethiopia
has been granted to the Afri-
can Exploration and Develop
ment Corp, incorporated in
Delaware, it was announced
today.
The contract permits the corpora
ton to seek and extract petroleum,
naphtha, gases and ozokerite (ozocer-
ite), a waxy substance found near
coal mines from which paraffine is
made in a great area involving all
of Ogadon province and portions of
the provinces of Wallo, Rusi and
Bale.
All of the concession lies in terri
tory which would be subject to
Italian attack when the rainy sea-
son ends in the latter half of Sep
TENDER.
An effort by substantial British or
American capital to enforce it could
cause complications of untold grav-
ity in the present Italian Ethiopian
crisis inasmuch as Italy would find
itself confronted in the territory it
seeks with a prior claim, legally
contracted, on the part of foreign
capital.
The contract, on Ethiopia's part,
guarantees the concessionaireS
against losses by force majeure"-
by major force from another party,
which in this case would be Italy.
1t was signed at dawn yesterday,
after an early morning conference
at which Emperor Halle Selassie
was. understood to be present, by
Francis william Rickett, British oil
promoter, in behalf of the corpor-
alton; and by Wolde Marian Ayaleu,
director of mines, and Everett A.
Colson, American financial adviser
to the government, in behalf of
Ethiopia.
1t was reported that the African
Exploration and Development Corp.
was affiliated with the Standard Oil
OF New jersey.

gians failed for the first time in his
life today. The Belgian monarch
qualied, as would any father, be-
fore the ordeal of telling his two

He called the Countess du Roy de

her to go on the tragic errand to
Chateau Stuyvenberg, where he and
his queen spent many happy hours
with their children,
The countess found the children
playing in the park of the chateau.
Josephine Charlotte, 7, who was
riding her bicycle, caught sight OF
her first. Dismounting, she ran to
her with the question:
"Oh, why do I see so many SOL
diers around here today?"
Grasps Whole Truth
Trying unsuccessfully to check a
sob, the countess caught the little
girl in her arms and said.
Your mother has gone on long
journey, dear"
when will she be back?" asked
the child.
"She may never return" faltered
the countess.
In a flash Josephine's mind leaped
to the whole truth and the countess
confirmed her fears.
