 The central column at Aduwa is the native one, commanded by Gen. Alessandro Pirizio- Biroli. It is con- solidating it's position at Amba Haugher, before Aduwa.
 Official Communique
 To-day's official communique- No. 10-said:
 October g was tranquil on all fronts except for small actions by native patrols in the occupied zone.
 Aviation units flew southward toward Makale to the Caravan ford over the Takkaze river but did not spot any formation or concentra- tion of the enemy forces.
 "In the action of the 23d native battalion at Amba Sebat, on the eve of the occupation of Aduwa, the losses of the Philippians were important, including several chief tains.
 "The work of systematizing the arrival of supplies continues &C., lively"
 sAirpIanes Play Part
 Airplanes are playing an important part in reconnaissance work, spot ting Ethiopian concentrations as soon as they arc formed. dispatches say. Groups of warriors gathered on the caravan routes were bombed bfeore troops moved up.
 The Popolo Di Roma correspond ent at the front reported that an Ethiopian pilot flying an ancient monoplane succeeded in flying over the Italian lines at a height where neither artillery nor machine guns could reach him. A fast pursuit plane was sent after him from As- mara. the correspondent said, but he had gone.
 In Italian Hands
 Messagero's correspondent said that the advance on the northern front had put almost all of Tigre province in Italian hands.
 He said that Ethiopian troops who were previously reported as having attacked Umm Hagar. near the Sudan on the Eritrean side of the frontier were under the personal command of Ras Aialeu, who has headquarters at Gondar. The correspondent added that Ethi- opian warriors, in bands small and large. were holding positions all the northwest part of

Italy the aggressor in It's undeclared war.
 Penalties Proposed
 Leaders predicted that the first penalty would be firm embargo on shipments of arms to Italy. This. though 1t will not be of immediate embarrassment to Premier Benito Mussolini," will in itself constitute moral condemnation by the assem- bly,.
 It was foreshadowed that next would come financial and credit boycott--already in effect to great extent because the powers credits have been closed down tightly in past weeks.
 Next, 1t was said-and probably before long-would be an effort to strangle Italys export trade.
 Nations would not be asked at first to stop selling to Italy products of normal international trade but to clamp an absolute boycott on the goods that Italy sells-and with which 1t obtains the foreign ex- cnanBe Co Duy essentials.
 Penalty Members
 As planned, the penalties commit tee is to be made up of the mem bers of the league council, exclud- ing Italy, and Italy's neighbor na- tions.
 Council members are Argentina, Australia, Chile, Denmark. Ecuador, France, Great Britain, Poland, Por- tugal, Rumania, Spain, Turkey and Russia. Neihbor nations designat- ed to be- on the committee include Austria, Switzerland, Jugoslavia, Greece and probably one Scandin- avian nation in addition to Den mark.
 Leaders looked to the boycott of Italian goods as the first real pen- alty. League members buy 70 per cent of Italy's exports.
 Great Britain was busy promoting the buying boycott. Fruits, Italy's chief exxport, and wines. were par ticularly aimed at, in additoin to olive oil, cotton cloth and thread.
 It was reported that in order to make the fruit boycott more effec- tive Britain might forbid It's re- frigerator ships, which dominate the ocean lines of communication, to carry Italian goods.

Borchard, Yale international relations export, declared before the state council of the Connecticut League of Women Voters last night.

 Baby Unions Protest An uprising among baby" unions loud In demands that the American Federation of Labor shift toward the theory of mass industrial or ganization, confronted federation leaders today as they pushed to- ward the more critical phase of their convention here.
 The newer unions. aggressive and ready for battle, consolidated their position in a meeting given over largely to denunciation of the con- servative methods of the leaders. While doomed to defeat at the present convention. the newest af- filiates, recruited from the automo- bile, rubber, radio and mill indus tries. struck an issue which will be h~tly contested throughout the im- mediate future of the labor move- ment.
 The industrial unions voted sup port for resolution, which If adopted by the convention, would g. .. them Jurisdiction over all work CTS in their industries. without re- gard for the crafts in which they are employed. ;.

Italy Makes Protest

Geneva, Oct. Q. CUP)--Italy pro- tested vigorously to the League of Nations today against the decision of Emperor Halle Selassie to expel It's diplomatic staff from Ethiopia.
 Fulvio Suvich, Premier Benito Mullolini's undersecrettary for for eign affairs. telegraphed the protest to Joseph A. Avenol, secretary gen. eral Of the League. and announced that he was obliged to reject most categotically and protest" the req sons Ethiopia gave for the expul- sion.
 Ethiopia yesterday informed the League that 1t must ask Count Lui- gi Vinci-. Gigluissi, Italian aminis- ter. and kis aides to leave Ethiopia.
 The reasons cited were that the Italians were indulging in spying

nothing else but force and force is war.
 Our only salvation and our only patriotic duty as American citizens is to keep our country neutral. If we don't, America will be thrown into an economic chaos from which she may never recover"
 Exporters Ignore Order
 New York, Oct. 9. UP)-Ameri- can exporters will ignore the presi- rental decree of neutrality in the Ethiopian-Italian war, leaders of the industry have agreed privately, and will accept orders from either of the belligcrent nations. The only difference will be that the purchaser of the war materials will be requir-' ed to arrange his own transporta- ton of shipments. President Roose- welt placed an embargo on imple- ments of war and cautioned that citizens who entered transactions with either Italy or Ethiopia did so at their own risk.
 The exporters who Haunted the presidential order refused to be quoted to prevent embarrassment of their firms. A special meeting of the export managers club of New York has been called for Oct. 9 to dis cuss new conditions facing export CTS as result of the war. Bankers here, however, are taking every cau- tion to follow the presidential order and protect themselves and their European agents from loss.

 Addis Ababa, Oct. 9.-(UP)-Five days of fighting made up prepon- derately of skirmishes, have pushed the Italian line forward on & front perhaps 60 miles long to a depth of from 10 to 30 miles in Ethiopian territory.
 The territory on the northern front under Italian domination em- braces the cities of Aduwa and Aligrat and the vicinity of the Holy City of Aksum. None are strategi- cally important to Ethiopia, but the capture of Aduwa had great psy- chological weight in Italian minds because of the massacre of italian troops by Philippians there 39 years ago. If the Ethiopian troops did not actually resist the Italian in- Yasion at AduWa and Adigrat, they proved by dozens of border raids. brushes, and one or two larger en- gagements that they were un- afraid of the tanks, planes, com pletely equipped infantry and other modern weapons brought to bear against them. ...
 Gas May Play Part .
 The great question is the part gas Is to play in this undeclared war. Except for one unconfirmed report gas has not been used. which. in the minds of experts is due to its potentialities for mass destruction. The possibility of It's use in the form of bombs hurled from planes far behind the actual front is caus- ing serious thought in Adds Ababa where 1t is thought that 1t might seriously shatter morale.
 The invasion of Eritrea by one of Ras Siyoum's divisions Is seen as hardly being test of strength. The raid was reported made almost without resistance. leading to the fear that the raiders might be cut off from their line of retreat and suffer serious setback.
 Only Ethiopian Hope
 Military experts in the capital continue convinced that the only hope of success for Ethiopian arms lies In letting the country devital- ize the attack" It is generally be- lieved in Adds Ababa that the real test between the Italian invaders and the defending forces is still pending. Bombings in the south and possibly in the east arc regard cd as inconscquential. The possi- bility is also considered that Italian moves in the north thus far have been merely 8 screen for the first definite drive into Ethiopia, yet to be launched.

No Request Made

Addis Ababa, Oct. 9. (UP)-The Italian legation said today that no request had been received from the government for the minister and his staff to leave the country.
 Today's train to Djibouti took the staff of the Dessye consulate and IT Eritreans. This completed the evac- uation of civilian Italians subjects. But many Eritreans, foregoing their Italian citizenship, have elected to cast their lot with Ethiopia.
 It was said officially that Vinci- Gigliucci and his staff would be asked sometime today to leave the country. but that his convenience would be consulted. It was believed that he might leave tomorrow by special train.

mienda dieciocho fue introducda a la Constitution con
ell consenso nacional, y mas tarde fue eliminada por me-
do del voto indirecto, euando Ell candidate Roosevelt,
campeon del "%rechazo", fue eleyado a la Presidencia del
pals.
Este sistema del referendum popular, que tanto EXT
to ha obtenido en- los Estados Unidos, nj Sc ha llevado a
cabo en- nuestro pals, nj podra establecerse por 10 pronto,
por carecerse de la condicon primaria que 10 sostenga,
a saber, la existencia y lbre juego de partidos pohticos.
Ell pueblo mexicano, que a1n no ha tenido la libertad ne
cesaria para elegir a sus Presidentes, mucho menos ha
podido ejercer una Influenza directa en- 10 que Sc refiere
a reformas politicas o sociales. Estas reformas Sc han
hecho, 81, pero sin contar con ell pueblo, cuya representa-
cion Sc han a~djudicado lideres y caudilos. Y en- algunas
ocasiones, cabe aclarar, estos directories de nuestra p-
Utica han podido auscultar con exito los deseos naciona-
les, aun cuando en- otras no han podido vocear sine las
corrientes de opinion de grupos minoritarios o partida-
ristas.
En- Mexico, queda deffnitivamente aclarado, no es po-
sible precsar con exactitud y en- forma drecta, cual es
ell p~ensamiento del pueblo respecto a las reformas poll
ticas y sociales que Sc han introducido. Tn lfder con vi
sion puede captar, en- I'm momento dado, las pulsaciones
del cerebro nacional, y obrar de acuerdo con elias. En-
esta feliz coincidencia Sc fincan los exitos de nuestros
estadistas, y en- la falta de compression, sus fracasos.
Nosotros consideramos, pr ell contacto que hemos
tenido con los problemas nacionales, Y por nuestra acti-
td impartial en- cuestones polucas, que ell general Sa-
turnino Cedino, al hacer sus declaraciones contra Ia en-
senanza socialista, pudo auscutar atinadamente, Y dar
voz sincera, al p~ensamiento de las mayorfas no solo de
San Luis, sine de la Republica entera. Como miembro del
gobierno nacional, su actitud puede marcar una incon-
gruencia, possible incubadora de probemas politicos. Pc
70 Cedillo como %cudadano y como orientador, significa
una esperanto para quienes desean que la labor revolu-
cionaria, como bien 10 dijo ell propio Secretario de Agri-
cultura, Sc desarrolle sin imposiciones absurdas, porque
solo EN- esta forma podra Mexico marchar confiadamente
hacia la conquista de sus propios destinos.

Las RQzOnes de CediHO

ST en- nuestro editorial anterior senalabamos las de-
caraciones del general Saturnino Cedllo como la incep-
ci6n formal de un estado de Discrepancies dentro del Co.
bierno, cabe ahora desigarlas de su significado meramen-
to polftico, ayalorandolas por su contenido i~deologico in
trfnseco.
Cuando ell ex-gobernador de San Luis dijo, reafir-
mando su anterior posicion, que en- csc Estado no Sc i'm
partira la educacion socialista mientras clio no pueda ha-
cerse sobre bases solidas e inconmovibles, no hizo sino
dr voz a los sentimientos nacionales, u~ltrajados con re-
formas yiolentas y, por 10 tanto, sin ninguna raigambre
en- la conciencia nacional.
Cuando en- dfas pasados Sc discutia acaloradamente
ell problema universitario, I'm distinguido escritor hizo yer
que esa institution no tenfa ningdn derecho para opo-
nerse a la educacion socialista, toda vez que Ell gobierno,
conforme a la tests democratica, es ell 1nico capacitado
para %introducir las reformas que Sc c%onsideren conve-
nientes para ell bien pdbhco, y Ell dnico ORGANISING capaci-
tado para decidir en- que radica esa convenience nacio-
nal.

cracia Functional es irreprochable, Sc viene por los sue
los en- Mexico, 81 Sc toma en- cuenta que no existe la pre-
misa firme sobre la cual sostenerse: o en- otras palabras,
que nj ha existido nj existe la democracia Functional. Yea
mos ell ejemplo que ofrecen los paises de ~verdadera sig
mos ell ejemplo de Estados Unidos, Y observemos como
ell gobierno de la nacion nunca Sc ha atrevido a introdu-
cir reformas revolucionarias sin contar con la aquies-
cencia de las mayorfas nacionales. Una reforma de esta
naturaleza, en- la que Sc impliquen cambios bruscos So
cales o politicos, requiere no dnicamente de I'm decreto
presidential, sino de la aprobacion del pueblo, que Sc ma
nifesta por medic del %plebiscito cuatrienal. Ash yemos
como, cuando Ell Presidente Wilson intento leyar a los
Estados Unidos a la Liga de Naciones, ell case fue leya-
do a la election presidential siguiente, y ell pueblo mani
festo sus deseos derrotando en- forma apIastante al parti-
do Democratic para encumbrar al Republicano, de donde
habian surgldo los lideres opositores al proyecto. La pro-
hibicion fue otro case luminoso en- este sentido. La en-
