 WITH CANADA
Answers Protests of Cattle Benefits to

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Moving to defend the Canadian trade treaty against protests of western cattle men, Secretary of State Cordell Hull maintains the controversial reduc- ton in the livestock tariffs will gain more than they will lose.
 Secretary Hull said the concessions made Canada on cattle are more than offset by concessions made by Can ada to the United States on many lines, especially manufactured goods, the United States imports.
 Canadian concessions, Secretary Hull said, will result greatly in in- creased exports, which will increase employment in this country giving working men and women in the United States an increased purchas- ing power and enabling them to buy in larger quantities American farm products to the benefit of the Amer ican farmer.

 The Seattle Chamber of Commerce is also requested to get in touch with T. B. Wilson, General Manager of the Alaska Steamship Company. and to work with him in an attempt to straighten out existing difficulties regarding A. J freight shipments.

Ar AcE PLANs PuRLIc

GENEVA, Dec. 13.-The hotly discussed Franco British plans for n ding the Italo-Ethiopian war have been made public and have caused a furry in Europe and aroused antagonism.
 The plans reveal that France and Great Britain seek to appease Pre- mier Mussolini's desire for expan- sion of Italy with gift of about two thirds of Ethiopia's territory to a country against which the League of Nations is imposing sanctions as an aggressor nation
 The reaction here, where diplo- mats are assembled, has brought much unfriendly feeling. Some diplomats declared the plan vio- lates the spirit of the Leagues covenant.
 It is expected that every small nation, as predicted, will reject the plan.
