cause delay in adjournment. The bill
is slated to come to vote in the
House tomorrow. The prediction is
made that it will pass the House,
though probably by narrow vote.
The Guffey bill, it was declared,
has been saved in the House by an
alliance of coal" and potato" men,
bers-a remarkable union. When the
Senate recently placed in the new
A. A. A. act an amendment which
virtually established potatoes as one
of the basic farm commodities and
with slight variations, made the proc
essing tax apply to potatoes, the way
was opened for this alliance. The
coal and potato people in the House
got together. The potato amendment
was agreed to by 10 votes. The coal
bill supporters expect to reap the
benefit, now. Of their support of the
potato amendment.
The Summer has worn down the
debating proclivities Of Senators.
They are anxious to get through and
go home or somewhere. Nothing
more clearly demonstrated this fact
than the passage of the tax bill in
the upper House after only two days
of debate. So the debate on the Guf-
fey bill, II 1t reaches the Senate, may
be much more brief than might be
expected. Republican Leader Nc
Nary of the Senate already has re
leased" Republican Senators who find
it necessary to leave Washington
without waiting further for the ses-
sion wind-up. Among those who are
expected to take immediate advantage
of this release are Carey of Wyoming
and Hastings Of Delaware. Every-
thing points toward adjournment.

new demands upon the Congress.

This Changing World
Fears War in Africa May Involve Othef Powers Is
Intensified by Developments.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Twenty-one years ago great en-
pire, Austria Hungary, attacked
small country, Serbia. At that time
most political prophets, comfortably
installed in large armchairs in va
rious foreign offices, said that the wal
would be localized The big powers
made some gesture towards such q
localization. We know the results Of
their efforts.
X X X
Now. again, a big power. Italy, Is
ready to fight small and unprepared
nation, Ethiopia. The same prophets
while making gestures to prevent this
war, which is being called a colonial
adventure, say that it will be localized
after a few skirmishes. Many OBJ
servers would like to consider the
Ethiopian Italian conflict in the same
light as fixed" boxing match.
This may haze been so teW
1DeekS ago, before Japan took the
position OF defender OF the colored
races. Until then, there lUdS
possibility that after diplomatic
bout or ttGo, Italy may haze been
satisfied NTH some ercluSiue eco
nonlic concessions in the hope that
tCithin teW years she could
branch out in Ethiopia and con-
Quer the empire in the same man.
ner France conquered te10 decades
ago the independent empire OF
Morocco.
Now it's too late Italy must fight
and fight hard. Even the British,
who for the sake of public opinion are
still making peace gestures" in Paris,
are convinced of the inevitable neces-
Sity for Italy to fight and win.
If MuSSolini were to accept today
compromise which would give him
foothold in Ethiopia without actual
fighting, the propaganda among the
ASiaticS would say that a f1rst-claSs
white power did not feel strong
enough to fight black army and had
to withdraw when its bluff was called.
The ignorant masses in India,
Arabia and other countries subjected
to the white nations cannot under
stand that war can be called off
when economic concessions are
granted to a white power. The psy-
chology of those masses is you either
fight, if you are strong and coura-
geous. or you don't if you are weak
and coWardly."
