To-day there is no security apart
from the authority of the League
against an outbreak of more disas-
trous war than the ruinous outbreak
Of 1914.
Actually, I have a secret feeling
there won't be war. ] am sure there
will not, if the United States, Great
Britain and her children within the
empire remain neutral. People do not
want war.
II remember how, after the last war
my villagers who from 1914 until 1915
had Stunned me as a peace agitator
realized was right when their sons
and brothers came home and told them
German soldiers were just as human as
British Tommies.
Il am sincerely sorry for my friend
the Emperor of Ethiopia, for he is UP
against Mussolini, who knows the turn
ing point in his career has arrived. The
fact is Mussolini had wonderful sue
cess to lead Italy so long and l am
afraid he is in for trouble if he attacks
Ethiopia, for the Italians are soft
they are not fighters.
Il wish the Italians would realize
that the Ethiopians are Christians
Their greatest pride is in their Chris
tianity. I was able to appreciate this
fact when in 1926 entertained at tea
Emperor Halle Selassie-Ras Tafari, as
he was then-and his suite. There Is
still chance for him and for Italy.

This Changing World
Ethiopian Oil Deal Declared Colossal Bluff on
Part of Selassie, Despairing of

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Despairing of the efficiency Of the
League of Nations as peacemaker,
and abandoned by almost every
country in the world, Emperor Halle
Selassie tried to put over on the
world one of the most colossal bluffs
known in the annals of diplomacy.
Following the advice of his west
ern counselor he handed over to an
American British company the min
eral rights of Abyssinia.
He thus hoped to bring in direct
conflict the two English-speaking ma
tions with Italy. The bluff was
called, and the British government,
which is supposed to have been
familiar with this maneuver, backed

Fearing Sanctions May Fire
Europe'S Powder keg,
Nations Hold Back.
BY the Associated Press.


GENEVA, August 81. - Reports
reaching Geneva on the eve Of fate
full meeting Of the council of the
League of Nations next week indicated
tonight there is no general sentiment
to apply sanctions against Italy IN
case she declares war upon Ethiopia.
From information sent to the seat
of the League, the sentiment appears
to be that sanctions may endenger a
European war. Even Scandinavian
countries, keen enthusiasts for the
League. are reported hesitant concern
ing them.
An air Of keen expectancy, but al
one of gloom, pervades Geneva.
Despite the supreme efforts Britain
and France are known to be making
to avoid war, the future appears highly
uncertain.
The general impression is that Mus
solini has gone. so far toward war 1t
will be difficult for him to accept a
compromise solution without affecting
his position at home. Informed cir
cles generally predict he will insist
on military occupation Of at least some
part Of Ethiopia.
Reports Mussolini intends to de-
mand Ethiopia's expulsion from the
League were an immediate subject of
discussion. Informed quarters pointed
out that since the African kingdom has
been an unobtrusive member for near
ly 10 years, it would be difficult to
throw her out. A unanimous vote of
the council would be necessary. The
same vote also is required for sane
tions.
A definite move has set in to elect

Irish Free State, to the presidency OF

shire, a castle in Wales and pro-
clivity for "dashing off here and there"
in specially chartered airplanes.
The promoter. it was learned, was
once a director of British oil de-
velopment company which was granted
rights along the TigriS by Emir Feisal
of Iraq. In the Near East, where he
has quietly conducted negotiations
many years, he is known as the
Lawrence of finance"
Doesn't Discuss Business.
Mrs. Rickett, living at the castle in
Wales, said today she new nothing of
her husbands enterprises. explaining
he did not discuss business matters
with her.
She said she was in ignorance of

Expressing the hope he would re-
