Chertok to Get Rights
If He Raises 100000

LONDON, Sept. 4 G.N.s). The
Martin Chertok Ethiopian conces-
sion deal will go through, disap-
proval of the American Govern
ment Notwithstanding, if Chertok
lays $1,000,00O on the line, the
Ethiopian legation told Interna'
tional News Service today.
Leo Y. Chertok. New York
broker, cabled Azaj w. Martin,
Ethiopian envoy here, he would
arrive within two weeks to exer-
else his rights to a concession
for oil and mining rights.
Martins secretary said negotia-
tions would proceed with Cher
tok's arrival, ''if he brings the
million dollars" provided for in
an agreement signed by the two
men early this summer.
Secretary of State Hull's dis
approval of the Rickett oil deal
will not affect the Chertok trans
action, it was said, because the
Ethiopian viewpoint is this is a
private transaction"
The Washington times., 1935-09-04

NEW YORK, Sept. U.N.S).
Secretary of State Hull to the
contrary Notwithstanding, a 60
getting young American promoter
plunged straight ahead today
toward acquisition and develop
ment of Ethiopian oil lands.
He is Leo Y. Chertok, broker,
who flatly declared he would take
his own chances on Ethiopian de-
elopments-regardlesS of tn e
capitulation of Standard-Vacuum
Oil which abandoned it's own nego-
tiations in Difference to the State
Department-and backed up his
words with prompt action.
Chertok, who says he holds a
50-year concession to ANY or all'
mineral rights in the desert en-
pire, today cabled A. w. C. Mar
tin, Ethiopian minister to London,
of his intention to capitalize on
his option.
The cable follows:
"Arrive London within ID
days. Will exercise concession
rights. CHERTOK."
The concession was granted
him, Chertok said, with the pro-
viso that within 80 days from last
July 19 he raise one million del
lars as a loan to Ethiopia.
His action today indicates that
Ethiopia will get the million and
Chertok will get the land. He
claims to be acting for four 900
per cent American" firms. but de-
clines to divulge identity of his
hackers.
Chertok said he and his back
ers would not expect the pro-
lection of the United States Gov
ernment" in furtherance of their
claims. He declared:
eve are taking our own
chances"

. EQUALITY
FOUGHT
Baron AIoisi Presents
; Duce's Demands to
). Geneva Session

GENEVA, Sept. 4 GN.S).
Citing numerous examples of al
legged ethiopian aggression"
against Italy, Baron Pompeo
Aloisi urged before the League of
Nations Council today that Ethi-
opio be denied equality with Italy
at Geneva.
Taking the floor at the opening
session of the eighty-eighth meet
ing of the League Council after
Capt. Anthony Eden and Premier
Pierre Laval, respective leaders of
the British and French delega-
tions, had delivered ardent pleas
for peace, Baron Aloisi declared
Italy must reserve it's whole lio-
erty Of action" regarding Ethiopia.
Baron AlOisi Speaks
Soon after Captain Eden said
Britain will do Everything in it's
power" to bring about a peaceful
settlement of the Italo-Ethiopian
dispute and after Premier Laval
had pledged France to abide by
League formulas for peace. Baron
Aloisi arose to present a long re-
view of Italo-Ethiopian negotia-
tions. He climaxed this with the
statement:
"The Italian government
would be lacking in its most ele-
mentary duty if it did not fl
nally withdraw its entire conf.
dence with regard to Ethiopia
and if it did not reserve its
whole liberty Of action in order
to adopt all measures which
would become necessary for the
security Of its colonies and for
the safeguard of its own inter-
ests."
Equality Denied
The Italian indictment of ETH.
opia proved to be the high point
Of this opening session of the
council meeting, which has on its
agenda the threatened East Afri.
can war-most crucial problem in
League history. Baron AloiSe said :
"The Italian government in
presenting our detailed memOr-
andum to the Council is obliged
to formally declare Italy would
feel deeply hurt in its dignity
as a civilized nation if it con-
tinued to discuss before the
League on a basis of equality
with Ethiopia.
ut refuses in effect to recog.
nize this equality, which is the
privilege of members of the
League with a State which is
unwilling to fulfill obligations
which are incumbent upon it."
Submitting a memorandum Gov
ering Italo-Ethiopian relations for
the last so years, Baron Aloisi
said Italy always had shown the

The United States today washed
its hands of the African oil deal,

Moving swiftly upon the urgent
request of Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull, Standard Oil interests,
to whom Emperor Halle Selassie
of Ethiopia had leased half his
kingdom in a desperate effort to
save it from Italian conquest,
agreed to cancel the concession.
Abandonment of the concession
was prompted by the desire to re-

~ I1meS special
NEW YORK, March g. Engi-
neering construction awards in Feb
ruary dropped to $68,089,00 for a
four week month, according to En-
cheering NewS-Record today. Pri-
vate work, however, increased to
$40 ,485 900, or from $4,696,O00 a week
in January to $5,121,OO0 week in
February. Public awards dropped
to $47,6O4,000 or $11,901, 900 week,
compared with $24,957,0O a week in
January.
This big drop, the survey states,
was largely in Federal work for
which awards for only $8,965, 900
were made in February. This COM
pares with a $48,736,000 Federal total
for five weeks last month and $40,-
1865, 900 for February last year. The
drop in state and municipal work
for the month was less drastic, from
$15,210,000 week last month to So
$50 1000 week or a total of $38, $780,
900 for February.
The work going ahead consists Of
a larger number of medium sized

for bids are running steadily higher
than year ago, the report said.

Indications this break already is

ISSUES STATEMENT
Z. A. Crane Says Security Plan
Does Not Conflict With Insurance.


Does Not Conflict With Insurance.
The extension OF social security
as proposed by President Roosevelt
will not conflict with the vast serv-
ices of life insurance, but rather.
will emphasize their individual and
social values" E. A. Crane, Indian
apoliS general agent of the North

day.
In pointing out the increasing in
tereSt in security, both personal and
national. Mr.. Crane brought out the
Importance of individual provision
through life insurance.
While the national program of
social security embodied in the plan
OF the President is, indeed. a long
step toward economic Sterilization,
I can not overemphasize hat not
until individual Americans start
seeking security as a fundamental,
and not merely as a by-product.
Will they find it." Mr.. Crane stated.

Battle Being Waged

There is now being waged a battle
between two great managed curren-
cies, the pound and the yen, which
are at grips in the Far East, and
under ordinary conditions it is only
natural that we should cooperate
with Great Britain if only to pre-
serve western civilization.
But apparently neither Neville
Chamberlain nor Montagu Norman
knows the meaning of "quid pro
quo" British authorities, formerly
imbued with a sense of responsible
ity by reason of England's leader
ship in world affairs, have adopted
a policy of sheer opportunism and
are cold bloodedly exploiting the
situation in utter disregard of the
consequences which must inexorably
follow.
The price of American co-opera-
ton in the Far East should be the
definite sterilization of the pound
sterling.
