the Delegate appeared before the committee and secured the addition of an amendment making the pro- visions of the bill applicable to Alaska.
 The passage of this bill, which is identical with H. R. 5708 intro duced in the House by Delegate Dimond, should prove of tremend- ous value to the country as it will materially lessen unemployment, experiments will be made in min eral development that will aid private interests who are unable to make the experiments originally and of unsual importance is the probability that most of the money appropriated will be recover e d through the output Of the deyel- oped minerals.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-- (Spac- ial Correspndence) The Rivers and Harbqrs oommistee has voted to report out all of the Alaska rivers and harbors projects intro- duced last year and recommend their passage by including them in a general rivers and harbcrs bill.
 Thursday morning the commit tee listened to James L. Galen and Delegate Dimond in support of the Cordova harbor project, and it also heard Don Carlos Brownell, Mayor of Seward, and the Delegate in favcr of the Seward harbor of refuge. The Nome harbor project was presented to the committee by Carl J. Lcnen and the Delegate, to provide an extension to both jetties at an estimated cost of $253,000 and to make an inner basin at a cost of $l6,000 at the mouth of Dry Creek.
 The committee has not held an executive session yet but it appears probable that all of the projects mentioned will be included in the bill.

EXPORT BANK BANS
CREDITS TO ITALY
Policy in Case of War
Spread to Be in Line
With HuII'S Views.
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
Ofiicials confirmed today a dis
closure that the United States Export
Import Bank has decided against
granting credits to facilitate the sale
Of American goods to Italy.
This decision, while in line with the
recently enunciated American neutral
ity policy, was made by the Export
Import Bank last August at a time
when Italy was reported to be pre-
pairing for its expedition into Ethiopia.
. Of1cials said several applications for
loans to help finance the sale of cot
ton and other materials to Italy were
pending at that time.
War Preparations Factor.
They added that the same decision
probably would be made with regard
to Ethiopia in case the question should
ever come up. 1t has not yet arisen.
The officials said that the decision
with regard to Italy was taken in the
light of her preparations for war and
other considerations.
The bank was established to provide
longer term credits than commercial
banks were willing to extend for the
manufacture and sale Of goods to
foreign countries. To date 1t has
agreed to finance $25,767, 800 worth Of
foreign trade.
State Department Governs.
What its policy would be toward
lending for sales of commodities to
other European nations, should they
become involved in the Italo- Ethiopian
conflict, remains to be decided. One
official said, however, that the future
policy Of the bank probably would be
in line with that Of the State De-
partment.
Just before the banks position be-
came known yesterday, Secretary Hull
reafflrmed the American Governments

international disputes in a talk to

dent in Turkey Is Recalled.

Dino Grand. Mussolini's former
minister Of foreign affairs and at
present II Duce's Ambassador In
London.
Early this year, Mussolini gained
the definite impression that neither
Great Britain nor France would op-
pose his plans for the conquest OF
Ethiopia. Laval had approved them
when he signed the Italo-French &C
cord in Rome in January this year
and at Stresa Macdonald had
shown significant lack Of interest
in Italy's concentrations in Eritrea
and the Italian Somaliland.
Then, in June, the British changed
their tune. What happened?
After due consideration, the British
government decided that the Italian
open aggression might be harmful to
the interests of the Empire.
Sir Eric Drummond was instructed
to ask Mussolini to soft-pedal his
warlike activities.
Drummond had spent 13 years as
the executive head of the League of
Nations. Like all officials Of the Or
ganization he was imbued with what
Is called "the Geneva spirit"
He made the representations and
reported to his government that while
Mussolini was adamant for reasons
of internal policies, there was not the
shadow Of a doubt that under the
pressure Of the Geneva peace ma

chinery bolstered by the might Of the
British navy, he would crumble up
and yield.
Day after day did the former secre-
tary general of the League wire and
telephone his government not to pay
any attention to Mussolini's utter
ances. They were all for the gallery.
Let Britain go the limit in her sup
port of the Covenant and MusSolini
would accept any settlement Britain
would suggest through the League.
And the British government had no
reasons to doubt the words Of wisdom
of the distinguished Ambassador.
MusSolini. on the other hand, was
equally misinformed. He relied on
the reports of his former foreign
secretary, the youthful Dino Grand.
But Grandi was not on his toes. He
was a disappointed man. His feelings
had been injured because he had been
reduced in rank. Instead Of being a
nigh and mighty foreign secretary
he was just another Ambassador re-
ceiving orders from his former subor-

Radio Use Is Denied.
He denied the Ethiopian govern
ment's charge that he had used the
legation radio to transmit inforfna-
ton to Rome after the Ethiopian gov
eminent had asked him not to use
the set.
In a note to the League Of Ma
tions, the government said the Minis
ter had used the radio for the fur
therance of espionage centering at the
legation.
Authoritative sources said It was
probable that Emperor Halle Selassie
would give the Minister a letter today,
requesting him to leave Immediately.
Halle 'Selassie's action was believed
to be following on the receipt of a
telegram from the Ethiopian delega-
ton in Geneva, in which 1t was said

Among the $1,000 votes represented
Mt the convention, the industrial union

ready to oppose craft union organizs-

presented.
Such an issue may come in a direct
move by Industrial unionistS for fed

The craftsmen claimed $4,000 votes
and appeared confident of victory.
Sentiment for an independent labor
party, again among the younger union
members, gathered momentum and
plans were laid to consolidate strength.
Before the delegates were several
resolutions critical of the two major
parties for allegedly failing to support
labor. That favored by many was

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Twelve years ago the pressure of
Britain's might was brought to bear
upon the then Turkish rebel and out
law, Mustapha Kemal, at present the
dictator Of Turkey.
The Greek armies had been routed;
poorly equipped Turkish regiments
were advancing toward the Sea of
Marmara and Constantinople, which
was held in trust for the victors Of
the World War by the armies of
Great Britain, France and Italy.
The British government pronounced
solemnly that the Angora rebels would
not be permitted to approach either
Constantinople nor the shores of the
Dardanelles. To show that this was
not a vain warning British battle
ships, cruisers and airplane carriers
were rushed from the Mediterranean
to Constantinople. Battalions Of
Grenadier, Scotch and Irish guards,
together with Royal Marines and
other crack troops, accompanied by
tanks and airplane squadrons were
brought to the capital of Turkey
post haste.
History repeats itself. Like at pres
ent at Geneva, Great Britain was
willing to open fire on the advancing
Turks provided the French, their al
lies, would stand by them. At the
critical moment when the British
ships cleared decks for action, when
the British airplanes were ready to
take of and attack Mustapha Kemal's
and the proud British
guards were ordered to don their
steel helmets and open fire on the
Turks, the news reached
the British commander in chief, Gen.
Harrington, that the French who had
been intrusted wit hthe defense Of
the important fort Of Chanak had
abandoned their post and withdrawn.
Kemal, the head of the brigands, us
he was then called, was asked to send
his representatives to Moudania to
discuss peace terms with the British.
And Turkey became an independent
country.
