II Duce is, in fact, impatient
to 60 to the head Of his armies
and lead the conquest just as
julius Caesar personally led his
legions in victorious African cam.
paigns 1000 years ago.
Has Big Problem
So long as Great Britain and
France show hostility to his war,
he does not dare leave Italy'S
shores, however, according to re-
ports. Thus he finds an addi-
tional source of annoyance in the
League of Nations intervention
it has interfered with his personal
plans.
Before Mussolini can leave for
the theater of war he must, &C
cording to diplomatic circles, de-
eide to his own satisfaction how
far the League of Nations will go
with sanctions" against him, that
England or France will not at
tempt a naval blockade in his alb
sence, that no powers will actually
attack Italy, that the Suez Canal
will be left open by England.
Gets French Note
With the situation as it is at
present, it would appear Il Duce
may be delayed from joining his
fighting sons for some time.
Only yesterday, France, whose
attitude has been conciliatory in
comparison with England's, deliv-
cred a note to Italy which had
all the earmarkS of an ultimatum.
Mussolini was given 10 days to
come around" and make an Of
fer Of conciliation.
If he fails, France will plunge
headlong into full support of the
firm sanctions advocated by Eng
land; the inference was plain.
MuSSolini was reported to have
received this communication as he
has received others like it-defi-
antly. He has not offered to bulge
one inch from his program Of alb
solute conquest Of Ethiopia.

BRITAIN FEELS
IT HAS JUMP
ON ITALY
London Is Determined
Not to Yield an Inch
To MussoIini

LONDON, Oct. 16 G.N.S0.
French peace moves notwithstand-
ing, Great Britain today pushed to
the limit it's drive for the penaliza-
ton of Italy for going to war
against Ethiopia.
While the British cabinet met
to discuss the crisis, semi-official
quarters in London indicated the
government felt it now has the
jump" on Italy and is determined
not to give one inch to Premier
Mussolini.
This, it was said in high quar-
ters, goes for the question Of
penalties as well as for all peace
proposals now suggested.
The British view is that if
Premier Pierre Laval Of France
wishes to push peace negotia-
tions, we'll and good, but the
speed of the League of Nations
sanctions machinery must not be
slackened, AMI any settlement at
this stage must entirely avoid
any possible "legalization" Of the
Italian advances into Ethiopia al
ready made.
In other words, the government
feels that If any results are to
come from the current peace
moves they must come soon, for
Britain intends to continue urging
the League to use all possible
haste in crippling Italy finan-
cially and economically with a
view to forcing her to end her
war.

when Captain Eden. his face
flushed and his eyes flashing,

subcommittee, brushed aSi.:e all
dilatory verbiage and cried:
Gentlemen, we are losing

Abruptly he demanded immedi-

getic support for the plan to

Unable to conclude the debate

committee adjourned until tomor-

dicted, it would. in all likelihood,
approve the ban on Italian ex-
ports.
Similar action by the commit

pected thereafter.

as a reinforcement to the proposals of the Baker Board and it's refusal like it, to be drawn into chimerical proposals for any unified service. can only meet with the heartiest approval For civil aviation it's most important proposal is, of course, the establishment of permanent commission. Such a recommendation had been hoped for in the aya- tion industry How vitally it is needed is plainly shown by the recent vouminous report of the l. c. C. on air mail routes. This would reduce stili further the sacrfcia rates under which the pioneer ing companies are now operating and increase rates on the so-caed independent lines which were able to take over routes as result of the contract can cellations Yet the Postoffice figures show that i'll October alone the department made protlt 1rcln postage of S102 TOO on it's United Air Line contract and of S84705 on it's Transcontnental Western All contract.
 Despite the reiteratons of the Postmaster Gen eral that the air mail of the United States shows a growth in route miles at much reduced ccst to the Government the facts are that the ar traIsr port operators taking into consideration reasonaoe depreciation Charges large new equipment orders have run into the red since last February by almost the same amount as the Postoffice has saved III air mail payMents;s the difference between sl9ooo- 900 and sl2o00,000. h
 Such condition is ntolerable unless it is de- services which has made us the envy of other nations It is earnestly to be hoped both that the permanent commission for civil aviation will be ale to act before its patient dies and that the other excellent proposals of the Howell Board will be translated promptly by Congress into solid benefits for aviation.

THE PRESIDENT WANTS MIRA TO STAY

In asking extension of the NRA for another two years President Roosevelt in his special mes sage to Congress said:
 We must rightly to correct
 things which have been done left
 done; must work out coordination of
 every code with every other code and we
 must simplify procedure.
 It is probable that the Presidents wish for extension of the Recovery Act will be granted and the corrections made. This might well be taken into consideration by lawmaking bodies when they of the large and small industries cooperating with the code to the fullest extent all should be included Maximum aours minimum wages and various other phases of the MIRA affecting in- dustry generally are in practice. If there have been defects, and the Presidents message indicates he believes there have, they will undoubtedly be corrected if there has been sde-stepping the regu ations probably will be frightened up.
 Official figures prove that the MIRA has been effective in a wide range of industrial and com mercial activity If it is extended the President requests with coordination and extension of codes plus the labor provisions upon which he is inssten and correcting the imperfectons that have to light in the workings of it during the last two rears, unquestionably much good can accrue and despite the maligning, and criticism MIRA has re- ceivcd at times it may yet prove the right, sane and saving road to a better, fair and secure economic life and the foundation of social security that will be enduring.

 To use the Presidents own phrase, we are on our way" to scheme of social security-the some what nebulous end which has taken the place of that less coherent concept of social justice in so many minds MT. Roosevelts message to Con gress the subject is perhaps the most important document he will address to the Legislature at this session It should not be approved or condemned in it's entirety, but should be studied, analysed dssected, and then measured against the job to be done as well against the practical limitations that hamper the program.
 The program involves old age pensions, unem- 3cyment insurance, care of crippled children, ald to dependent children, aid to child welfare services provision for maternal and child health, and more general buttress to State public health pro- grams
 The detailed recommendations of the Chief Ex- ecutive concerning each of these broad objectives while to see the Presidents program in fair pers- pective. There many who sincerely believe that all these matters outside the proper sphere o1 Icentral government. There are, strangely enough, others who believe with the notorious MT Townsend that the Federal Government should pay pension Iof $2OO month to every citizen over 65. In that opium Utopia the needy aged would spend enough money to keep all the rest of us busy and prosperous The President stands middle ground. He has had competent advice this problem. His own outlook is that of practical humantaran-not Tory. not an dealist not proletaran. He has not proposed dole, has he overlooked the vital importance of decentralized administration through the 48 States It is probable that his program is far too ambitious in the light of the strain which would be imposed on industry in period of recovery.
 The social security program has not been sub mitted to Congress with the injunction to take or leave it. Rather, it reaches the Congress as the reason judgment of a group of experts as to how the broad objective may be attained. It is for the Congress to complete responsibility to g over the entire project with a fne-tooth comb to estimate the practicalty of every feature and 1t passes any of the program, to enact into law only those things which seem safely within our reach at present. The very grave dangers inherent in the program demand the application of alert critical faculties
