Geneva, Sept. s. UP)-Great
Britain, France and Italy sought
agreement among themselves on

ure in the Italian Ethiopian dis
pute today, while the council it.
self considered minor problems.
Taking informal control in Eu-
ropes gravest postwar crisis, the
big three" delegates negotiated on
the application of the league cove
nant to the dispute.
Resumption of discussion of the
prospective war by Italy on its fell
low league member Ethiopia was
planned as soon as the big three
negotiations ended.
Italy Left No Doubt
As the days work started, Italy
had stated its case with a firmness
which left delegates no doubt that
soon or late they must make de-
cision in the crisis and hazard the
leagues life and the peace of
Europe.
A forceful attack on Ethiopia by
Baron Pompeo Aloisi of italy left
the council and the annual assem-
bly, OF all league members which
starts Monday with the opinion
only of deciding whether they will
(1) give italy full control of Eth
opia, with the right of military &C.
cupation; CD "outlaw" Ethiopia
as unfit to be in the league and
thus "legalize" war by Italy on
Ethiopia; or (3) take action in OPP
position to, or impotently &C
quiesce in, Italy's plan for con-
quest.
Negotiations by the big three
concerned the question whether
article XI or article XIV Of the
league covenant should be applied
to the Italian Ethiopian dispute.
: Article XXI asserts that any war
or threat of war Is matter OF
concern to the whole league and
that the league shall take any ac-
ton deemed wise and effectual to
safeguard peace.
Article XIV provides that the
council may report on, and make
recommendations regarding, any
dispute that is not settled by nor
mai diplomatic means.
Penalties i'm View
Inasmuch as article XIV leads
up to imposition of penalties un-
der article XVI against an agrees
sor, Great Britain and Ethiopia
were believed to favor 1t as the
basis for council discussion.
Italy won the first victory at the
AnAnin0 tho nnnnrtI vranafinO
yesterday.
Though Ethiopia is the COM
planning nation, though 1t has APP
pealed again and again to the
league to fulfill its obligations to
save Ethiopia from attack, Baron
Aloisi was permitted to open with
bitter denunciation of Ethiopia
which he followed up, at a night
press conference, by asserting that
the league must decide whether to
expel Ethiopia or to expel Italy.
Thus complainant Ethiopia wa.
made technically the defendant.
DIR. CASTOR. Jeze of France, ad.
vocate for Ethiopia before the
council, followed Aloisi. He de.
clined the apparent invitation tt
be the defendant in the case iT
which Ethiopia Is the complainant
Instead he commended the Italian.

for frontier clashes that are the

Miami, September 5 (UP) -

SO horror filled hours aboard the
steamship Dixie. Twelve hours ago
I was convinced that death was
certain. I still am thankful to be
alive. sailed on the Dixie from
New Orleans last Saturday. Monday
morning, when we entered the
Florida Keys, the wind was blow
ing up, but there was no indication
of a severe storm. AS the day pro-
crossed the wind increased until,
by shutdown, 1t was screaming
over the ship, tossing 1t about like
a cork.
Badly Frightened
Those of the passengers who
were good sailors and did not mind
the rough weather were gathered
in the lounge, listening to the hur-
ricane scream around us and, II
the others felt as I did, feeling
badly frightened. But we thought
the ship would ride through. A
ship wreck, despite all our fears,
was not the foremost possibility In
our mind. Suddenly there was a
terrible jolt, then two more, less
severe. We could feel the ships
motors no longer were turning
over, and suddenly the high
pitched whine of the wind seemed
to grow louder. Before we could
do anything, q mate came in from
deck. In a calm voice he ordered
us to strap on life preservers and
report at once to our life boats. l
was frightened, but not too badly
frightened to obey.
officer Took Charge
We reported on the promenade
deck, where the rain was pouring
in torrents and the wind all but
lifted us up and carried us into
the sea. 1t was in my mind that
the officer would order us to jump
into the sea and I wondered II ]
would have the courage to obey.
Instead he ordered US into the
shelter of the amidship house. APP
parently he did not believe the
ship was in immediate danger OF
sinking. That night wore on like
a nightmare, with the wind howl
ing like demon. Occasionally we
could hear the ship grinding on
the rocks that held her fast and
great waves were breaking over
her main deck, covering the prom
enade deck above with sheets OF
spray. The wind diminished grad.
ually Tuesday, though the rain
continued and gradually our spir'
Its returned. The ships Officers
assured us there no longer was any
danger and we were convinced
when we could see through the
rain and the haze the rescue ves'
sells standing by.
Fears Are Returned
Wednesday my fears returned
when the life boats from the rescue
ships came alongside. 1t came my
turn to be lowered down the Dixie's
side into the lifeboat. The Dixie
was listing badly. They tied a rope
under my arm pits and helped me
over the rail and, hanging onto the
rope, I walked a few feet down
the steep side of the ship. Then ]

boat. I was looking right dowr

ST. LOUIS, Nov. IL. UR)-Three
major film companies and affiliat-
ed concerns, charged with violation
OF the Sherman Anti Trust Act,

the theaters by foreclosure and their
management passed to Fanchon e.

SHOWN BY MUSSOLINI

against League of Nations members

ial licenses must be obtained for

ian goods and denies to Italy Sc
lected list Of key products.
Mussolini struck directly at France
with a decree, issued by his exchange
control bureau. forbidding exports
to France, its colonies and mandates
unless they are paid for in advance
in Italy. This decree also is effec-
tive November 18.
The decree licensing imports is
intended to shut off nearly all trade
with the 50-odd nations which in
tend to participate in the new
League penalties against Italy.
Makes Boast Good
Licenses are to be issued by the
ministry of finance, and it is un-
derstood they will be issued only for
trade with nations not participating
in League penalties when they can
provide the commodities listed.
