ITALY WILL LAUNCH ATTACK
BEFORE LEAGUE ACTS, BELIEF
Agenda Calls for Lengthy
Routine in Session to
Open Wednesday
By WALLACE CARROLL
United Press Staff Correspondent

GENEVA. Sept. 3.-(UP).-
Diplomats, gathering for Wednes-
days meeting of the League of
Nations council, are convinced
that Italy will launch her drive
into Ethiopia before the council
is able to decide what policy OF
settlement to pursue.
Meanwhile, they believe Eth
opian oil concessions to Anglo
American companies are devoid
of political Importance except in
solar as they will furnish Emper-
or Halle Selassie's kingdom with
money to purchase arms and mu-
nitions.
Observers today predicted the
following developments in the
crisis before the council really
tackles the problem:
First, That Captain Anthony
Eden, British minister for league
affairs, will present a report on
the failure of tri-power negotia-
tions at Paris, explaining the
Franco-British offer which Mus
solini rejected on August IS.
Second, That if the British can
obtain French Premier Pierre La
walls consent, this report will be
submitted as joint Franco-Brlt'
ish statement in order to create
the impression that the two. ma
lions have formed a united front
to defend the leagues prestige.
Third, That the council will re
ceive a report of the arbitration
commission regarding border in
cidents at Ualual and Other
points.
Fourth, That Italy, which has
hitherto been on the defensive
in the league discussion of the
conflict, will take the offensive
and present a declaration OF
claims against Ethiopia purport'
| ing to show that Halle Selassle'S
kingdom is unfit for league mem

"Some time ago the citizens of

alarmed at the prevailing crime

their full cooperation to the gen

"Some of the conditions which
have caused our citizens to be-

amount of house-breaking, petty
thieving, gambling, drunkenness,
violation of the prohibition law,
reckless driving of motor cars,
and driving while drunk, prostl-

FLORIDA FEARED
BRUNT OF STORM

MIAMI, Fla, Sept. 8. (Uf).-
A treacherous and intense hurri-
cane ominously neared south Flori-
da last night.
AS the erratic storm swirled to-
ward the state, Ernest Carson, fed
eral meterologist here, said the
west coast of the state probably
would bear the brunt of whatever
damage it might bring.
The storm apparently had pass
ed Key West to the east, with the
southermost city getting only
winds, and was near the Florida
mainland in a virtually uninhabit-
ed section at the extreme south.
The eccentric course of the hur-
ricane, small but winds of 60 miles
or more an hour, did not relieve
the lower east coast Of danger,
however.
Carson said the territory around
Fort Myers stood to suffer the
most from the hurricane if the
STORM should keep its apparent
course, as recorded shortly before
noon. :,
But heavy winds were expected
in the populous Miami area, the
rich citrus region near Homestead,
south of here and along the coast
line northward toward West Palm
Beach. -. ~

Washington, Oct. 28, - Standing pat on it's isolation ist policy toward foreign dis putes, the United States was disclosed, in a communica- tion which Secretary of State Hull sent to the League of Nations Saturday, to have based its neutrality stand on two fundamental principles, both decided upon before the Italo-Ethiopian hostilities be- gan.
 The first is the preservation of peace and the second is the determination to keep out of war once it starts.
 Other considerations which played a part in the phrasing of the American reply to the League query, an official spokesman said, were the pur suit of a consistent policy by this government of acting in any and all circumstances on it's own initiative, and to fol-
