arises as to what was his true att

included them in his "share-our-

There was much talk Of the orpani-

Nevertheless, the Kingfish never
got around to considering Negroes
until resentment was shown against

there is room to believe that what

that the love the senator NAV have
had was similar to that Ne would

to the Associated Negro Press of

Ell giving them access to the sea.
This proposal however is expect
ed to be rejected by the Dictator
as he has already expressed him
self as being no desert collect
or. The territory offered is a
desert Of stone and salt.
In foreign circles it Is believed
that Mussolini does not want war
with England because he is not
prepared for such a campaign but
he is determined to have at least
one invasion in Ethiopian terri
tory for one pitched battle in
order to get some recompense for
the expense Of transporting the
thousands Of men into the region.
The flag Of victory could then be
displayed in Rome.

COLUMBIA, S. c.. October 81
Gov. Olin Johnston left for Wash

Reports that the Governor had

Broadened Embargo
Is Studied to Avert
Profit Temptation
By the Associated Press

DS lAc ASSOCldltI E4tSS.
The fact the Roosevelt admin
istration is bearing down harder than
ever in its efforts to discourage" trade
with Italy and Ethiopia caused in
formed observers to wonder today
whether some new action may not be
under consideration.
This speculation was aroused by
President Roosevelt's statement of
yesterday, in which he hit at war
profits and warned that the govern
ment sis keeping informed as to all
shipments consigned for export to
both belligerents." A short time
earlier, Secretary Of State Hull had
said bluntly the United States is
seeking to discourage dealings" with
the belligerents.
What the Government might do to
implement this campaign of moral
pressure" if the African war should
stimulate a boom in American exports
destined for the warning countries

ulated as to whether the admin

ufacture of war materials or in the
conduct of war.
Officials have said they are studying
the problem of whether the embargo
should include such key" war ma
terials as copper, oil, cotton and scrap
iron. There has been no indication
however, that such step would be
taken.
The idea of a broadened embargo
involves the question of what the
cotton raising South. the iron and
steel regions, the oil districts, etc.
would say about such move and
what effect their reaction would have
on Congress and the administration.
Some commentators have said
Americas new neutrality policy will
get its first big test when temptation
offers itself in the form of greatly
