LEAGUE Sc f N
AS FAILURE
IN TEST

The League of Nations was seen
in authoritative quarters here to-
day as having proved complete
and utter failure in the primary
purpose for which it was created
to prevent aggression on the
part of big powers.
The view prevailed in one high
official quarter that the League
in its first real test, had blown
up" as an effective instrument for
the preservation of peace owing
to the move by Sir Samuel Hoare
and Premier Laval Of France to
reward Italian aggression with
peace plan that would give Italy
more Ethiopian territory than its
armies have been able to conquer
with all the deadly weapons OF
modern warfare.
Just A Plaything
The very nature of the plan,
whereby half of the only lnde-
pendent kingdom left in all Africa
would have been given to Italy,
was viewed as confirming the be-
lief long held here that the League
merely was plaything OF the big
European powers.
Serious doubt prevailed that the
League would now be able to
marshal it's members in any sue
cessful program of collective &C
ton against ItaS~-at least in the
immediate future.
Although the British govern
ment, in order to save itself from
being overthrown, has disowned
Sir Samuel Hoare as foreign Sec
retary and repudiated the Hoare-
Laval peace plan, it was doubted
whether Britain would again risk
the danger Of an isolated war"
with Italy by renewing its initia-
i've at Geneva for drastic action
against Premier Mussolini.
The italian dictator'S threat to
lunge all Europe into war unless
he wa left alone in Ethiopia also
was seen as likely to cause the
other 7 eague members to hesitate
from liking the initiative. Europe
vas believed to have. become con-
vi5@sd that the Italian dictator
Wa not bluffing.
Victory For Italy
inject, the view prevailed here
tntt 7, Duce has emerged victori-
oSs, for the present at least, in his
diplomatic battle with the League
far more victorious than his
armies have proved against the
black warriors of Ethiopia, whose
forefathers were the bodyguardS
Of the Queen of Sheba.
The virtual collapse of the
League move to check Italian ag.
gresSion also was viewed as con-
firming the belief held here that
had the United States gone as far
as the League propagandiStS
wished it to do in invoking sane
tions against Italy, this country
would now be left holding the
bag"
There was only one prediction
which American officials were pre-
pared to make concerning the i'm
mediate developments likely to re-
suit from the confusion which
now reigns in Europe over the
situation.
Up to EthiOpians
That was the prophesy that
the only thing likely to check
Italian conquest of Ethiopia in
the immediate future will be that
Kingdoms own black warriors.
The view prevailed that Ethi-
opia will now have to depend
upon it's own powers of defense
to repel the invasion of Rome's
modern legions. Military OBJ
servers here felt that, so far, it's
warriors, with their spears and
other primitive instruments of
warfare, have nothing of which
to be ashamed in their efforts to
hold off Italy's modern armies.

After many successful years on the

failed because they were unable to
realize sufficient revenue from COM
mercially sponsored programs to pay
their way. Unoff1cially, it is estimated,
about $500, 900 was lost in these ven-
lures. which had their inception last
October Originally, 81 stations were
associated with A. B. S. Last January
it was reorganized and the name
changed. Early last month service
was discontinued to stations forming
the Western and Southern links, and
the network curtailed to a 10-station
hook-up along the Eastern seaboard.
Finally, March 26, it ceased operation
altogether.
In charge of the negotiations for
the new project is Charles Mosko-
witz. vice president of Loew's, and
Louis K. Sidney. theatrical executive,
who recently took over the manage
ment of WIN. While an independent
New York station, WIN Is well known
because of its originality in program
presentation. Amateur shows. the
current fad in network programming,
had their origin on WIN, where Maj.
Edward Bowes, veteran radio i'm
presario, introduced them last year.
The station has been talked about in
the past as a possible network key
station, but the current negotiations
are the first that have reached any
significant stage.
Backed by the resources Of the
M-G-M organization, it is thought
the project has much greater posi-
bilities of success than the several
launched during the lest few years.
The difficulty, however, lies in finding
desirable station outlets in the larger
cities. since most of the outstanding
stations already are aligned either
with N. B. c. or c. B. S.

Father and Wife
of Robinson Freed
IN StoH KIDNAPPING

Mrs. Frances A. Robinson. wife of
the fugitive Thomas H. Robinson. Jr..
and her father-in-law, Thomas H.
Robinson, ST., were acquitted by a
Federal court jury Of plotting and
helping in the $4,000 kidnapping of
Mrs. Alice Speed Stoll, wealthy
Louisville society matron.
The 24-year-old Mrs. Robinson
burst into tears when the jury of IL
men returned the verdict of acquittal
shortly before II a. m.
Robinson, ST., 63-year-old Nash
vile bridge engineer and father of
the former insane asylum inmate
hunted by G-Men for the last year as
the kidnaper, exclaimed, '"Thank
GodP He wiped his forehead, shrug-
ged, then smiled broadly.
Locked up Saturday night after
they announced they "coufd not de.
cide," the jury resumed deliberation
at a. m. Sunday. A Sunday session
was necessitated because the courts
term ended on Sunday, Oct. 10, at
midnight when the jury would have
been automatically discharged.
The partly-filled courtroom heard
the verdict in silence.
The Robinsons were prosecuted
under the Lindbergh kidnapping law
which authorizes the death penalty if
the victim is injured in an interstate
kidnapping. Mrs. Stoll was slugged by
Robinson, Jr., and carried to India
napolis were she was held captive by
him six days before released when his
wife delivered ransom to him.
