MPASS|ONED
SPEECH MADE
BY De VALERA
Addresses League Assembly
To Summon Peace Confer
ence To Settle Dispute.
AGREES WITH BRITAIN
Pledges Irish Influence In
Actions Against Unwar-
ranted Aggression.
BY WALLACE CARROLL

Copyright 1885, BY United Press
GENEVA Sept. 16.-Eamonn de
Valera, president of the Irish Free
state executive committee, made an
impasSioned appeal to the League
of Nations assembly today to call
an immediate peace conference to
prevent an Italian Ethiopian war.
For once in complete agreement
with Great Britain, de Valera
pledged the Irish government to
join fully in imposing the league
covenant on any aggressor.
BY our own choice" the Irish
leader said, and without compul-
sion we entered the obligations of
the covenant. We shall fulfill these
obligations In letter and spirit. We
have given our word and we shall
keep it. For few nations will the
test which may confront us be
more severe"
n Soon after the speech, the assem-
'Gbly closed its general discussion of
the crisis.
Even as de Valera spoke, events
in the crisis were speeding to a
climax.
BY this week end Benito MuSSo-
lini is expected to have committed
himself irretrievably-by acts, not
words-to a war policy.
Appealing to the world to sum-
mon now, to save the league and
preserve peace, and to prevent
bloodShed peace conference that
normally would meet after war,
de Valera said:
May God keep this cup of bit
terness from us all! Oh why can
not nations put into the enterprise
of peace the energy they are pre-
pared to squander in the futility
and frightfuness Of war!
V"Yesterday there were no financ-
eS to. give workers the opportunity
to earn their bread Tomorrow
money unlimited will be found to
provide for the manufacture of i'm
plementS of destruction"

Vandeleur will be seeking his sec

gets a promotion and starts earn
ing $1,000 a year. Under pres
ent law he gets an exemption for
his family OF $500. That leaves
him 5000 of taxable income ana
he pays the government S148 a
year. He pays no surrax under
the present rates because he has
less than $4,000 of taxable in
come.
The senate bill gives him a fam
ily exemption Of only $4,000, so
he is taxed four per cent on
$4,000. That comes to $lGS. In
addition, the senate lowered the
surtax exemption from $4,000 to
$4,000 so John Smith gets caught
there, too. He has a taxable in
come of $4,000. His surtax eX-
emption is $4,000, leaving him
liable to six per cent surtaX on
$1,000. That comes to S7Z.
Thus, under the senate bill, John
Smith would pay $16S normal IN
come tax plus $72 surtaX-a TO-
tai of S24O. In other words, the
senate hill would cost him the
difference between S24O and his
present tax of $l4S. Thus the
10 men sitting around the senate
finance committee table have m
creased John Smiths taxes on
$1,000 income by $92 a year.

CRAZED MAN
SAVED AT SEA
Found Swimming 100 Miles
Off Cape Cod; Battles
KeScuerS

BOSTON, Aug. 12.-UP).-A
deranged fisherman dived from his
ship into Atlantic waters 100 miles
off Cape Cod yesterday in response
to what he imagined to be dare
from President Roosevelt and the
Oman chief, G. Edgar Hoover.
Unknown to his shipmates, Wal
ter (Frenchy) RoDillard, 80, Of
Brighton, a husky 6-footer, leaped
from the deck of the Boston traw-
Ter Notre Dame north Of Georges
Banks on the fishing grounds.
Rescued against his will by the
crew of the Bridgeport, Conn.,,
FISHERMAN, Ripple, Robillard was
landed here by a coast guard am
phibian plane that made a round
trip flight of some $50 miles. To
attaches of Marine hospital he told
a fantastic story.
He was standing on the deck of
the Notre Dame, he said, when he
saw the faces of the President and
Hoover clearly outlined on the
waters, daring him to come in. On
the instant, ne said, he leaped into
the "shark-infested" waters to
show them he was unafraid.
Robillard, who seemed lucid
enough at times, said he was in
the water half an hour. Doctors,
however, thought he may have
been in a much longer time.
Robillard, who lives with a
brother, Eddie, is a mechanic by
trade but makes an occasional trip
to the fishing grounds. He shipped
on the Notre Dame, operated by
the Atlantic and Pacific Fish Co.,
a week ago.
The trawler picked up the Rip
pies radio reports of its rescue,
and late yesterday sent word that
the swimmer was hand known
only as "Frenchy" who had van
ished from the Notre Dame. 1t
mentioned a Brighton tavern
where, it said, the man was we'll
known.
Robillard recovered quickly af-
ter his long swim in shoes, heavy
trousers and sweater. He will be
removed to Boston Psychopathic
hospital for observation.
