LONDON, Dec. 11.-The program of Great Britain and France for peace encountered an early obstacle today, with Ethiopian officials as serting that Emperor Halle Selassie would lose his throne if he dared to accept the proposals.
 Addis Ababa officials said that the northern Tigre province must be kept by Ethiopia lest n a tive chieftains rise in revolt on the grounds that they could have de- tended the province successfully.
 Both London and Paris prepared to postpone the League of Ma tions' meeting scheduled for to- morrow, to consider the additional penalties just as final gesture. They int e n d to ask the League Committee of Five to take over ne- gotiations and carry them to com pletion
 No official hint of Premier Mus solinis reaction was heard in Rome, although Paris sources asserted he looked upon the peace program with favor Meanwhile Fascists are anticipating further military ad- vances to strengthen Italy's diplo- matic dealings.

MARITIME HEAD
 STATES STAND
 ON A. J. CARGO
Says He Ordered Sailors Not to Unload Alaska as
 Protective Measure

Last night sailors aboard the Alas ka refused to unload freight from the vessel which was consigned to the Alaska Juneau mine, giving as their reason that they had instruc- tions from the maritime union in Seattle.
 Interviewed in Seattle today by the Associated Press, James Engstrom, District Secretary of the Maritime Federation for the Pacific Coast, said refusal of the crew to unload A. J. freight followed his orders. Eng strom gave the following statement in Seattle to the Associated Press and The Empire
 The crew was notified before the ship sailed from here not to handle cargo if the union longshoremen at Juneau still refused to handle it. The lcngshoremen have put ban on handling such cargo. Our men, who have had to unload such cargo on previous trips, reported they had trouble when they were ashore. Union miners and longshoremen called them scabs and fights fol- lowed We had to take this step to protect them
 At the same time Charles R. Hope, regional director for the National Labor Relations Board in Seattle, told the Associated PPress he was continuing investigation of the com plaint filed by the mine, mill and smelter workers union in Juneau against the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company. He said he had received the company's reply to the complaint and expects to make a decision within the next several days.

WALLACE ASKS FINANCES BE
 REDISTRIBUTED
Report of Secretary of Ag- riculture Stresses Emer-
 gency Aspect of AAA

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Secre- tary of Agriculture Henry A. Wal lace pictured redistribution of in come as prime necessity which the nation cannot escape.
 In his annual report issued today, Secretary Wallace favored increase in the proposition of the national in come which goes to poorer persons, holding that this would increase con- sumption and and therefore make for expansion of production by fac tory and farm alike.
 Secretary Wallace laid particular stress on expansion in contrast to the AAA's crop reduction programs which officials have described as emergency measures. He contended that these programs were made ne- cessary by higher tariffs, and said that complete industrial agricultural balance and coordination are essen tial to full economic recovery.
 Partial coordination, undertaken from the standpoint of individual industries, must give place to a general comprehensive coordination aimed at increased production and increased payrolls," he said. If we are to shave all employment at full production we shall have increased higher living standards. How to achieve coordination for a balanced expansion is the problem which now awaits our solution"

 Gov Floyd B Olson, whose admin istration was constantly attacked by Liggett expressed himself surprised and grieved" at the violent assault. He pledged the untiring services of the state criminal investigation bu- reau to find solution to this out rage against man of integrity"
 Had Liggett lived, he would have appeared today before the State Leg islature to ask the impeachment of Gov. Olson on evidence of govern ment corruption" he had declared himself ready to present.
 Liggett, before entering his color ful career in the states, was the editor of the Skagway Daily Alaskan.
