j. s. CORRECTS
ITALIAN VIEW
Of ATTITUDE
State Department Considers
Kellogg Pact Binding on
Every Power That Signed
international News Service


Secretary of State Cordell Hulls
formal declaration that the United
States still considers the Kellogg
antiwar pact binding on every ma
ton that signed it was intended as
a direct warning to Italy that this
Government will neither SYM
pathize with nor condone Italian
conquest of Ethiopia.
The declaration, it was learned
today, was promped principally
by Rome reports that the recent
American note to Ethiopia had
been hailed in Italy as friendly to
the Italian cause because OF its
failure to promise some definite
action.
Aimed at MusSOlini
Secretary Hull wanted to let it
be known definitely that this Gov
eminent did not approve the war
like actions of Premier Mussolini
in the ancient black African king
dom and did not want the rest of
the world to have any misappre-
henSion on that score.
However, The Secretary, at the
same time, did not wish to embroil
this Government directly in the
dispute, and so refrained from
sending a formal note direct to
Rome. Instead, he decided to is
sue the declaration of this coun-
try'S faith in the Kellogg anti-War
pact withC t mentioning either
Italy or Ethiopia by name.
The statement itself, however,
left no doubt as to whom it was
directed and any doubt that might
have existed was clarified in
authoritative quarters by admis-
sion that it was aimed chiefly at
Italy.
In declaring that this country
still considered the pact of Paris
mo less binding now than when
1t v-as entered into by the sixty
three nations that are parties to
it," Secretary Hull's declaration
indirectly reminded italy that "by
form and designation it conSti-
tutes treaty by and among those
nations"
Solemn Obligation
He furthermore reminded Italy
and the world in general that the
pact not only was a declaration
by the contracting parties that
they condemn recourse to war for
the solution of international con-
troversies, but that it was:
IAN agreement and solemn
obligation that the settlement
or solution of all disputes or
conflicts among nations of
whatever nature or Of whatever
origin shall never be sought ex-
cept by pacific means"
Issuance of the statement was
seen in some quarters as probably
the last initial move this govern
ment will take in the dispute un-
less it becomes certain that war
is about to break out. In that
case, it still was considered pos
Sible that Secretary Hull might go
so far as to formally call Italy's
attention to it's obligations under
the pact in a direct note to Rome.

unjust" Legislation
Is OnlV "DeSirabIe"

The Presidents must" legisla-
ton is "out" and in it's place the
softer term desirable" takes the
stage.
President Roosevelt thinks, the
term must legislation" is silly,
stupid and sophomore and that
it does not convey the real mean
ing, he said at his press confer
ence late yesterday.
Furthermore, although it was
not so stated in the discussion yes
terday, there is evidence that the
term must legislation is not go
ing so we'll in Congress, which
likes to retain its independence.
At the same time there has been
considerable force in the idea of
must" legislation so far and the
term was considered fairly de-
scriptive of the situation while the
speed was on.
Desirable" legislation today,
then, includes the holding COM
pany regulatory bill with its dis
puted death sentence" the AAA
and IVA amendments, and the
banking bill without the permits
sion for bankers to underwrite
securities.
This last legislation has been
discussed by President Roosevelt
with Senator Glass of Virginia.
The President does not approve
of opening the way for banks
and bankers again to underwrite
securities. He thinks there was
enough trouble with that pre-
viously.

Judge Cushman, who sentenced
Harmon Metz valley, the husband,
after he pleaded guilty to par
ticipation in the crime, meted out
a 45-year term to the man whom
Defense Counsel Dore termed the
worthless ex-convict that Mrs.
Valley loved too we'll" Mr.. Dore
portrayed Mrs. Valley as "just a
dupe of her husband" in the
crime.
When the arguments came to
an end last night, Judge CuSh-
man announced he would read his
instructions to the 10 men and
two women on the jury.
Defense Plea Dramatic
Mr.. Dore explained why he did
not call Valley, who was brought
from Mcneil Island as a defense
witness, to the stand. He said:
81 didn't call him because 1
feared he would perjure himself
by saying the kidnapped boy was
taken into Idaho.
VALLEY insisted they were in
Idaho in spite of all evidence to
the contrary and the reason he
cOncocted that story was to
avoid going to trial in a State
Court where he might be hanged
for the kidnapping"
The defense lawyer made a
dramatic plea for the girl defend
ant. He said she was a mere
tool for these two crooks
eliminates of the Idaho State
Prison, Valley and William Ma
han, the latter the so-called
brain" of the kidnap plot, who is
still missing with $4,000 of the
ransom money.

ton, Assistant United States At
torney Hughes likened Mrs. Valley
to other gangster "molls."

way.
Anti-LObby Bill LObbied
Senator Black explained:
1--WE have investigated Hobbies
and investigated them. I be-
lieve there is a vigorous lobby
working against my bill to COM

signed to show just how much
money has been pent hy utility in
tereSts fighting the death clause"

It was spent. We intend to do
a thorough job"
Philip A. Gadsden, chairman Of
the Public Utilities Executives
Committee, with headquarters at
the fashionable MayfloWer Hotel,
told the committee how 1901, 900
OF anti-utility bill money has been
spent in recent weeks.
Mr.. Gadsden'S committee is
backed by more than q score of
utility holding companies, he said,
and has exercised every proper"
influence possible against the util-
ity bill. He said he considered
the measure, now in conference
between the two houses of Con-
gress, violation of the rights of
the people.
OF the 1901 900 which his testi-
mony showed spent, Mr.. Gadsden
said $151,000 from the holding
companies back his committee, as
sessed on basis of one-half cent
for every electric meter controlled.
Another $15O,000 came, he said,
from the Edison Electric Institute,
and went to pay legal fees to the
two New York firms of Sullivan
and Cromwell, and Simpson,
Thacher and Bartlett.

His committee has ready for use
now an additional $4,000, Mr..
GadSden said.
Senator Black indicated the
Senate committee had Temporal
rily completed its examination of
Gadsden, and of Burnham Car
ter, of the New York publicity
firm of Ivy Lee and T. J. Ross,
who handled publicity for Gads-
den. These two told of asking
scores of members of Congress to
vote against the death sentence,
but added that they did not take
these efforts into social life or
homes.

England States are slightly different.
The traveller must pay his fare to
Albany, N Y, New York City or
Montreal before his tickets begin to
carry him. On his return to any Of
these points, he also must pay his
fare home.
If the New Englander wishes to
start from Montreal he pays his fare
to that port and boards a coastal
steamer for Boston or New York.
There he makes connections with the
ship taking him on through the Canal
and up to California.
