FURY ON BRITAIN
ReprisaIs to Be Applied to

Iy, However.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, November Great Britain
was marked down as sort OF public
enemy No. /" today following the
fixing of November Is as the date to
apply boycotts against Italy.
Other nations which supported the
sanctions program at Geneva will re-
ceive the same reprisals from Italy as
are planned against Britain, it was
authoritatively stated, but feeling
against Great Britain was stronger
than that against France, with whom
Italy wishes to preserve a basis Of
understanding.
Premier Mussolini ordered an ap-
preparation of 100000 lire (approx-
imately s8o,0o0) to build bomb-proof
shelters in Messina, Sicily, strategi-
cally situated italian port in the
Southern Mediterranean.
Similar DEGREES Imminent.
officials indicated that similar de-
crees for the protection of other
coastal cities against the menace Of
air raids by possible enemy European
nations are imminent. Messina has
been big troop embarkation point
and also is an important rail and
shipping center.
Italy added some exports to the
steadily growing list of imports which
she will prohibit as means of con-
centrating her wartime economy.
Exporters were forbidden to lessen
the nations resources in hemp, min
lie of "a lie
The Official Gazette, which carried
these DEGREES, was published for the
first time in fine type, enabling the
government to reduce its bulk by about
half
The long arm of Fascism reached
out into every community and steered
an organized movement to answer boy
cott with boycott.
British Goods Unwanted.
British goods were said to be un-
wanted by many merchants. The
movement to buy Italian" grew. In
Genoa last night posters heading "this
store sells foreign goods were pasted
on many windows.
Meanwhile, Gen. Emilio de Bono,
commanding the Italian troops in
Northern Ethiopia, and Gen. Rudolfo
GraZiani, leader of the Southern army,
were moving for further conquest on
the thirty-first day of the campaign
An official communique said the
troops were making progress in the
region of Haramat and Gheralta in
the north, where civil organization OF
the occupied territory was proceeding
swiftly.
Seeks to Ease Discomfort.
Premier MuSsolini intends to make
the discomfort of sanctions as light
as possible and to apply restrictions
on Italians gradually, sugaring them
with self-interest and patriotism.
Meatless Tuesdays were generally
expected to be ordered as a compan-
ion piece to the decree prohibiting
opening of butcher shops on that day
of the week.
Hotels and restaurants expect to
serve many Italian specialties made
of other foodstuffs, thus hoping not to
disturb their customers.
Coal is more Of problem. Fuel for
hotels will be rationed when the
weather becomes cold about Novem-
Der Is.
Railroads will reduce service effec-
lively November 6, taking many trains
OF the lines to save fuel.

ished stressing the Leagues desire to
continue a search for pathway to
peace when an impatient appeal ar
rived from the Ethiopian delegation
for funds.
Ethiopia respectfully begs the
members of the League" said the
note, ito grant financial assistance to
defend Ethiopia's peaceful existence
against a state whose recourse to war
and whose attitude is a manifest and
undoubted menace to world peace"
Ignoring various peace proposals
which have been brought forward in
recent weeks, Ethiopia's appeal
breathed an impatient desire to drive
italian troops from her soil.
Relied on Guarantee.
The note pointed out that. relying
upon the guarantee Of collective Sc
curity embodied in the Covenant (of
the League). the Ethiopian govern
ment has created neither arsenals nor
arms and ammunition factories"
The appeal cited a draft convention
approved by the League Assembly In
1880 providing for financial assistance
for weak states which are the victims
Of aggression.
Ethiopia's appeal for defense funds
probably will come up before the Com
mittee of 1S next week. The COM
mittee may refer the Ethiopian re-
quest to the Leagues Financial Com
mittee, which worked out some time
ago complete mechanism for carrying
out provisions for financial assistance
under the convention Of 1880.

WALSH CONTRACT
MEASURE PUSHED
Fechner Indicates Drive to
Get Rid of "FIy-by-Night"
Bidders.

An administration drive to enact
the Walsh Government contract bill
at the next session Of Congress was
indicated yesterday by Robert Fech-
ner, director Of the Civilian Conser-
vation Corps, who sees in the meas
ure a way of getting rid of "hy-by-
night" bidders and permitting hair
splitting by the War Department and
the ONCE of the Controller General.
The measure, designed to maintain
the gains Of N. r. A., at least on
Government contracts, Fechner be-
lieves, will do much to correct the
present illogical situation" in which
the Government in its method OF
awarding contracts is helping to de-
feat its own recovery efforts.
Contracts Often Jobbed.
After two years as directing head
Of the C. C. c.. which purchases mill
lions of dollars worth of goods an
nually through the War Department,
Fechner is convinced legal require
mentS often force the award Of con-
tracts to business men notorious IN
driving down wages and prices. In
addition, the contracts, after being let.
may be "jobbed" around TO factories
willing to meet the terms.
There is class of business men,"
Director Fechner said, who go
around bidding on almost any kind
Of Government order. They will take
a chance on anything, regardless OF
the fact that they have no factories
or Offices. and they name prices SO
low they get the contracts.
Then they hunt around till they
find a factory which will fill the
order at a price yielding a profit to
the contractor. The profit, of course
comes out of chiseled wages and ex-
ploitation of unorganized workers.
Uncle Sam pays this profit to people
vino do not even produce the goods.
Government Gypped."
MANY of these bidders have been
gypping the Government for years.
They have nothing TO lose, because
if they fall down on a contract they
have no property which Uncle Sam
can seize to repay his losses. The
| only thing he can do is take the con-
tract away, and then the 'fy-by-night'
concern is free to make new bids for
| Government business.
Il hate to see these people getting
away with their destructive methods,
but the War Department tells US
there is no legal way to stop them.
because the law says any Government
contract must go to the lowest re-
sponsible bidder
"As interpreted by Controller Gen.
eral j. R. McCarl, the lowest re-
/ sponslble bidder is any one who can
get a professional bonding company
to sign a bond"

lcopyrisht. 1885. by the Associated Press, !,
GENEVA, November 2.-Def1nite
concessions by Italy for peace were
reported tonight after q League Of
Nations Committee of 50 nations fixed
November 10 as the date to begin q

Premier Pierre Laval of France.
Italy's views Of how the war could
be settled, it was said, were outlined

DUCE MAY DEMAND
STRAIT NEUTRALITY.
Gibraltar Action Expected
to Be Made at London
Naval Conference.
By the Associated Press.

~ sAAC <AooSSA0SS3 = ASeS'
PARIS, November 2.-Italy will de-
mand naturalization of the Straits of
Gibraltar, Britain's strategic strong
hold at the mouth Of the Mediter-
ranean, naval circles here said today.
The demand Is expected at the
London naval conference one month
from today. which the United States
will attend.
Diplomatic circles here said 1t was
O "foregone conclusion" that Britain
will be forced to refuse such a de-
mand. They acknowledged. however,
1t would be extremely embarrassing
for London" which has made many
pacific declarations recently.
Seeks TO Bare Intentions.
Premier Mussolini's purpose in the
"bombshell," 1t was said. is to force
Britain to declare her intentions
In the Mediterranean, where most OF
her feet Is now massed.
Il Duce is expected to offer to scrap
two 35,000-ton battleships. placed in
construction last year, as an evidence
Of good faith.
Britain, 1t was believed in nava
circles here, has already sounded Out
France on the latter's attitude If Italy
makes the Gibraltar demand at the
conference. What the French stanc
will be was not learned.
Unofdcially, however, 1t was said
Britain may have agreed to take q
larger percentage of exports from
French Morocco to strengthen
Frances position there in return fol
support against Italy's prospective
demand.
French naval experts said "from
the theoretical viewpoint" the ques-
ton Of whether Gibraltar is fortified
or not Is OF little interest to France
May Need Britain's Help.
Naturalization, they said, would
guarantee free passage to France for
all time but with the traditionally
close accord with Britain, ut would
be better to have a strong British
hold on Gibraltar" in case France got
in q war with Germany and was
faced with the prospect of German
submarines entering the Mediter.
ranean to ravage her commerce anc
stop transport of troops from North
African possessions.
A possible demand by Spain tt
enter the conference if the question
of Gibraltar is discussed was seen ir
naval circles.
They held that British possession o.
Gibraltar had long been "a source Of
annoyance" to the Spanish, who coulc
be prevented from moving their owr
ships from their own east coast Il
the west coast without the permission
of Britain.
Italy, it was believed, will ask that
the Straits Of Gibraltar be placed
under the same status as the Suez
Canal.

Italy, despite her annoyance at

slightest hint that she will propose

Any proposal to that effect would
