ASKS COUNCIL
Be CONVENED
IMMEDIATELY.
Takes Position Italy Is Afraid
To Submit Its Claims To
Impartial Arbitration
PROTESTS ARMS EMBARGO
Ethiopian Government Sends
Notes To British, French And
Belgian Ministers

Adds ABABA, Ethiopia, July
10. U.P)-The Abyssinian govern
ment today demanded an immed-
late summoning of the League of
Nations council, to consider the
threatened invasion of her territory
by italy.
The government decided to throw
its fate into the uneasy hands of
the league after the breakdown OF
the conciiiauon commission this
week, which made it apparent that
Italy would not yield in her refusal
to discuss the boundary issue be-
tween Ethiopia and her own pro-
tectorates.
Abyssinia'S position was that It
lily was afraid" to submit the prob
lem to impartial arbitration.
The incident at Ualual where
AbySSinian tribesmen are charged
with having assaulted Italian
troops, became a major issue.
Abyssinia had set up the claim
that Ualual was in Ethiopian ter
ritory. Italy, refusing to discuss
the question of boundaries, declared
that regardless of where the Incl
dent occurred, it was a deadly af-
front to Rome.
Coupled with its demands for
conyocation of the league council.
the government dispatched note to
the British. French and Belgian
ministers, protesting against the
arms embargo laid down against
Abyssinia.
The note said the Abyssinian
government hoped that supplies of
arms might again be permitted to
come into the country, pleading
that there was no reason for the
embargo and pointing out that, be-
ing unable to manufacture NUM-
tionS herself, she must purchase
them abroad.
The note declared that under the
treaty of August 81, 1880, Emperor
Halle SelasSie is permitted to OBJ
tain arms and munitions necessary
for the defense of his territory
when faced by the danger of war.
1t declared that this danger is
shown by Italy's words and act

ROMOR JAPAN
MAY LINK Up
WITH ETHIOPIA
BY RAY G. MARSHALL
United Press Staff CorreSnonden

TOKYO, July 10 U.D = General
Ugaki, Japanese governor of Korea.
was quoted without confirmation
today as saying that Japan could
not remain neutral in event of war
between Italy and Abyssinia.
The report followed a press con-
ference during Cgaki's present visit
to Tokyo. The correspondent of the
Nippon Dempo News service who at
tended the conference said he had
not heard the general make the re-
marks attributed to him. The foreign
office said it had not been informed
OF any such statement.
The circles circulating the report
indicated that Japan would aid
Abysslnia, where interests OF the
Nippon empire repeatedly have tre-
mendous investments, especially in
cotton.
Pressed for a direct statement on
Japan's position in event of war,
Eli Amau, spokesman for the
foreign office, said:
81 cannot tell what attitude
might develop in event of war. so
far there is no war although press
reports indicate its likelihood 1
hope war is avoldable. We desire
peace everywhere"
Amau said war in any part OF the
world affected every other part. He
denied, however, that Japan had
special interests 'in Abyssinia or
elsewhere"
Although there we're reports that
Japan had discussed the situation
with Abyssinia, Italy and Great
Britain, Amau denied them.
He said any japanese arms manu-
facturers seeking TO sell munitions
to the Ethiopians would have 10 OBJ
tain a government permit. so far
none has applied for permission. he
indicated.
The conflicting reports on Japan'a
position IN the tense situation was
due to a lack OF definite informa-
ton in the dispute between Benito
Mussolini and the black followers OF
the Lion OF Judah"

OPPONENTS Of

PLAN TESTIFY
Tell House Ways And Means
Committee In harp Words
That Industry Would Stifle

WASHINGTON, July 10. U.P)-
Opponents of President RooSeVelt's
taX-the-lich program charged to-
day before the house ways and
means committee that the proposed
levies would Stifle industry.
The criticism was led by George
L. MARKHAM, representing the Phil
adelphia board of trade, and H. E.
Miles of the Fair Tariff League.
MARKHAM said the program would
tax the man who earns money and
force him to support ne'er do wells.
His defense of big industrialists
and opposition to taxing such men
as Henry Ford and John D. Rock
efeller who build up the country" "
drew sharp rebuke from Rep. Jere
Cooper (DemO Tennessee.
How much thought have you
given TO the wild and foolish state
ments you have been making?"
Cooper asked.
MARKHAM reUorCed: DO you work
for a living?"
Chairman Robert L. Doughton
raped his gavel and told the wit
ness his time had expired.
Miles had charged that $8,000,-
900. 900 in virtual taxes were levied
by 1.-The trusts" through excess
profits and that Theodore Roose-
velt and Woodrow Wilson had ap-
preciated the situation.
Raps President
Rep. Allen Treadway (Rep) Mas.
sachusetts, then said, I'm not in
terested in what Theodore Roose-
velt thought, but do you know what
Franklin Roosevelt thinks about
it?"
Miles replied "I don't think
Franklin Roosevelt has any opin-
ion on Monday which he has or
Thursday. I think the President
is morally deficient"
Democrats shouted a protest, ano
the remark was stricken from the
record.
AS Doughton ordered the witness
to stop, Miles shouted: IT didn't
want to get that in the record at
all. I simply said it because ]
thought it a duty"
Hugo Noren, Pittsburgh, dry
goods storekeeper advocated the
single tax" theory of Henry George,
the 10Th century economist, and
said he favored abolishing all OF
the federal government except the
supreme court and the United
States senate.

WASHINGTON, July 10.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt vigorously prodded
a weary and somewhat balky con-
gress today in an attempt to speed
up action on the new deal" legis-
lative program.
He told house leaders at a White
House conference ending shortly
before midnight that he wants his

vetoed proposals for a summer re-

Speaker Joseph w. Byrns said
the President insisted that congress
stay on the job until it had pushed
through his taX-the-rich proposals.
New emphasis was placed, also, on
passage this session of legislation to
outlaw further gold clause suits re-
sulting from devaluation of the
dollar

willingness to lay aside any of his

FILE PROTEST
ON OIL LEASE
BILL APPROVAL

LOS ANGELES, July 10. U.R)-
The state treasury would be de-
prived of an estimated $ll5OOO,OOO
in oil royalties if Governor Frank
F.. Merriam signs a legislative bill
leasing the Huntington Beach state
tidelands to the Standard Oil COM
pany. the Independent Petroleum
Association of California charged
today.
In a statement issued by John
B. Elliott, vice president and exc
cutive chairman, the independent
group declared the bill, if made
law. would enable Standard to con-
troll upwards of half billion dol
lars" in oil-bearing lands in the
district.
Under terms of the bill Standard
will pay the state 16 2-3 per cent
of all oil extracted from the tide
lands.
During the time that this bill
was under consideration by the leg
islature," Elliott asserted, "offers
were made by more than one re-
sponsible oil company to drill this
oil structure and pay to the state
a royalty of 80 per cent, and one or
two companies offered as high as
40 per cent for a lease on it. The
difference between Is 2-3 per cent
royalty and 40 per cent, in dollars
and cents on the estimated value
of the lands ($5OO,OOO,O00) is worth
to the people OF California approx
imately $115,0O0000."
Elliott declared that unless Mer-
riam vetoeS the measure the in
