A better but still inadequate expla-
nation is the widespread one that
there are two big questions back in
the British mind. What Will the
Yugoslavs do to Italy with Mussolini's
army off in Africa? What will Hit
ler's mice do in Austria during the
same absence of the Italian cat?
T'.-3e who think they know what
is going on in world diplomacy be-
lieve Mussolini has also thought Of
these things. In fact, they have been
tipped that Mussolini has secret
agreement with the French to watch
what will go on in Europe behind his
back. The possibilities Of a European
backwash to the Ethiopian war there
fore are not generally considered
dangerous unless Mussolini's Ethi-
opian campaign drags out for a
longer time than he thinks 1t will.
Specific Diplomacy.
What the British have in mind par
ticularly need not thus be speculated
upon. While they have said little out
loud, their diplomatic agents have
been quite specific IN communicating
their apprehensions to other nations.
notably France. They told the French,
in effect:
THE conquest OF Ethiopia wiH
mean the end OF the League OF Ma
tons and the end OF world era.
Prior to the World War. nations

DEMOCRATS HEAR
LOYALTY APPEAL
"Constitution" Plea Merely
Catch Phrase, Says
Broughton.
Nv the Associated Press.

MILWAUKEE. Wis, August 23-
Young Democrats. gathered for the
opening Of their second annual con-
vention today, were urged to support
President Roosevelt and disregard the
opposition's shouts Of Constitution. "
That is only catch phrase. "
Charles z. Broughton, Democratic
national committeeman from Wis
consin, said of the cry against the
President in an address of welcome
prepared for delivery today
1T Is a smoke screen" Broughton
said, Ito hide from the public the fact
that nothing was done to stave OF the
crisis in 1882 and that nothing would
have been done in 1888 and 1884 II
we had not succeeded In electing
President Roosevelt"
Confidence Held Renewed.
"You have witnessed the rehabili-
tation of Nation. strong in its finan-
cial structure because Of renewed con-
fidence on the part of the American
people" Broughton said.
"You have witnessed the return Of
liberal legislation, which sounded the
death knell for fanatical legislation.
You have witnessed a President
needing the call of the distressed home
owner in the city and on the farm.
You have been awakened TO the
fact that the American Government
is the creation Of the people. and that
they. rather than nations lying beyond
our shores, are entitled to enjoy its
privileges and its fruits.
you have witnessed the efforts Of
an honest and sincere Government to
bring our country out of the depres-
sion into which it had fallen"

RAIL PENSION BILL
|. RESTS ON SENATE
Early Committee Action Ex-
.pected Following Pas
sage by House.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated FreSS.
Administration leaders looked to the
Senate Finance Committee today for
early action on q tax bill to raise pen
sion funds for more than ! .ooo. 900 rail-
road employees.
The House passed the measure yes
terday, q few hours after 1t had been
approved by its Ways and Means Com
mittee.
The bill would impose az per cent
tax on employees and like tax on rail-
road pay rolls to be paid by the EN-
ployer. The money would be turned
into the Treasury from which pensions
would be paid workers under provisions
Of a pension bill now awaiting the
Presidents signature.
Increase Of Levy.
Originally the House measure would
have imposed per cent tax on en-
pioyes and 4 per cent on the carriers.
The Way and Means Committee, wof-
rying over assertions that the 8 per
cent tax would not be adequate, equal
lied the levy and increased the total 1
per cent after suggestions from the
White House.
The measure before the Senate
Finance Committee still carries the
IA levy and, unless changed by the
Senate, will have to be adjusted IN
conference with the House.
Up to sl2o . Month.
Under the pension bill, benefits
ranging as high as $120 q month would
be paid to . worker VINO had reached
the age Of IS or worked 30 years. It
does not become effective until next
March.
The House mechanically chanted
approval of the altered bill without
even bothering to have 1t read. The
clerk droned through series Of per-
fecting amendments which were &C
cepted without debate and then sent
the measure to the Senate by per
functory voice vote.

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
British See Much to Be
Excited About in
African Dispute.
BY PAUL MALLON.

TINE British seem to be more ex-
cited about Ethiopia than any,
thing since the World War.
Il The King and cabinet could
not be acting more gravely II the
Italian conquest were going to be
staged in the yard at Buckingham
Palace instead of in duskiest Africa.
A story is going around that what
has shaken customary British reserve
is the prospect that the Italians will
cut the Ethiopian headwaters Of the
Nile and thus ruin British interests
down the river.
IL is true that the modern
Romans intend TO come pery close
to Lake Tsdna, tohich feeds the
Nile. The lake is only $50 miles
back up In Ethiopia and just Of
the direct italian route to Adds
Abdbn.
But you may accept as a fiat fact
that the British have already taken
that matter up with Mussolini. He
has given them private assurances
that he will guarantee British drain
age rights If he concuers the territory
Consequently, the British have more
reason to feel safe with Mussolini in
control than they have had under
Ethiopian rule. Mussolini's interest
Is in soil, not water.
