BORAH READY
TO CONTEST
0LDGUARD
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
international News Service

Senatoi William E. Borah OF
Idaho today had challenged the
''old guard" of the East to a fin
ish fight for control of the Re
publican Party, by launching
campaign to win New York'S dele
CATION to the 1886 convention.
Mr.. Borah approved plans for
winning the Empire States "a
votes, as outlined to him by sew
eral liberal Republicans from New
York. He gave Representative
Hamilton Fish, jr., authority to
organize the whole State in his
behalf in an effort to win in
structed delegates at the primary
next April.
The old guard leadership, head
ed by Charles D. Hilles, New York
Republican national committee
man, were silent over the chal-
lenge. Previously, they said pri-
vately they would use all their
influence to carry an uninstructed
delegation to Cleveland.
Mr.. Borah meanwhile faced a
swim everything, lose little" cam
paign in New York. If his friends
can capture the delegation, it
will insure his nomination on the
first ballot. If he wins even a
few delegates from that State, he
will have lost little prestige and
little strength in the convention,
Only a total reputation of the
1dahoan by selection of a wholly
uninstructed delegation will en-
danger his chances of nomination
and few political leaders believe
that will be the outcome.

LONDON AMAZED, LEAGUERS
ARE SHOCKED BY CANADIAN
DISAVOWAL OF OIL EMBARGO
Canada Does Not Recog-
nize Any Commitment
Binding Country to Mill
tary Sanctions
By FREDERICK KUN
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, Dec. 2. UP).-The
Canadian governments disavowal
of the Canadian league delegates
proposal that the League of Ma
tions extend it's embargo against
Italy to oil, coal and metals-the
threat of which has menaced the
peace of Europe-amazed diplo-
matte quarters here last night.
A special meeting of the British
cabinet is expected to consider the
statement, issued from the office
of Canada's new Liberal prime
minister, w. L. Mackenzie King
The extension of sanctions to
oil, coal and metals - all badly
needed for Italy's military ma
chine in Ethiopia-was introduced
at Geneva by DR.. W. R. Riddell,
permanent Canadian representa-
tive. 1t has been known as the
Canadian proposal.
Officials declined to comment on
the Canadian Reputation of Rid
dell's suggestion pending elucida-
ton from Ottawa. Diplomats at
first glance believed the statement
was in effect warning that Car
ada does not wish to be regarded
as morally or automatically bound
to aid Great Britain in event OF
an Italo-British war resulting from
stiffening of sanctions.
British commentators told the
United Press this Interpretation
NAV 90 too far but it is believed
widely that the Canadian declara-
ton is connected with Premier
Benito Mussolini's reported diplo-
matte warning last week that oil
sanctions would be regarded as a
hostile act.
DIPLOMATS who were at Geneva
when the Canadian proposal was
submitted believed at the time
that Capt. Anthony Eden of Great
Britain had persuaded Rlddell 10
suggest the oil embargo.
1t is believed here that since the
league general staff" of IL has
approved in principle the extern
sion of sanctions suggested by
Canada, the latter cannot no"
withdraw the proposal. Prepara-
tons for the oil blockade there
fore may continue.

new NRA Bill
SAID DRAFTED
Measure Restores Power to
Regulate Commerce

WASHINGTON, Dec. "A new
NRA bill, which would re-state the
power of congress to regulate IN
terstate commerce, is reported re-
liably to be ready for introduction
to the next congress. -,
Although provisions of the bill
are guarded, it has been learned
that it would permit the appllcas-
ton of voluntary codes to busl-
ness engaged in interstate COM
merce but forbid price fixing IN
such codes except for natural re-
sources and in restraint of mo-
nopolies.
1t is expected that a decision on
introducing the bill will be made
after the business-labor confer
ence, called for December 9 by
George L. Berry, co-ordinator for
industrial cooperation. If there is
a demand for the bill on the part
of business it will be pushed
through the congress, but Other
wise it will await developments.
1t is reported that Donald Rich
berg, last head of the NRA, and
President Roosevelt have approved
the basic ideas of the new bill.
