BRITISH WOULD
VIEW STEP AS

Have Italian Assurance
British Zone To Be
Unmolested
MAY CALL IL DUCE'S
BLUFF AS TO OIL

LONDON, Nov. 27.-(UP).-
British authorities are receiving
reports that the Italian expedi-
tionarv force may soon invade
Lake Tana region in Ethiopia. 1t
was intimated officially that such
an incursion would be regarded as
a violation of Italian government
assurances
LONDON, Nov. 27.-(UP).-
The cabinet is believed to have re-
affirmed its determination to en-
force the oil embargo against
Italy, despite threats, as soon as
this could be arranged on a CO.
operative collective basis, under
the League of Nations penalties
plan. 1t was the first full cabinet
meeting since the November Ia
parliamentary election. Prime
Minister Stanley Baldwin presid-
ed
LONDON, Nov. 27.-(UP).-
Britain is preparing to "call Mus
solini's bluff" and declare an en-
barge on oil shipments to italy,
diplomats believed today.
The cabinet defense committee
held an unexpected meeting at No.
10 Downing street. repeatedly to
consider the empires defenses in
case oil sanctions should lead to
war with Italy.
At the same time the govern
ment announced that despite post
ponement of the league committee
of eighteen's meeting to start the
oil embargo, Britain remains in
| favor Of collective enforcement
| of such a penalty against Italy in
futile effort to halt her war ma
chine in Ethiopia.
Representative of the Don1in-
ions attended the defense meeting,
which lasted nearly two hours.
Hints from Rome that an oil en-
barge would be considered mill
tary measure were understood to
have prompted the meeting.
Some quarters believed the ltal-
ian hint was bluff intended to
| brighten Britain and inspire eau
ton in France.

HIGHER TAXATION ADVOCATED TO
SUPPLEMENT PROPOSED BANK BILL

and future economic needs.
3. Prevent a recurrence of con-
ditionS which closed the banks in
March, 1888.
The United Press was informed.
however, by an official who repre-
sents the administration group
which wants freer federal spending
that the bank bill may become a
part of a three-point program, AS
outlined to the United Press. the
plan to be developed if President
Roosevelt can be persuaded to it
provides:
!. A high tax system TO insure
what monetary experts call yelocity
Of money turn over.
?. A bank system that controls
the volume of credit or money avail
able under any conditions.
3. Insurance OF jobs for all en-
playable persons.
Use Taxes For Jobs
: Mr.. Roosevelt would not be ex-
pected TO experiment in all those
directions until the $4,000, 100000
recovery and relief plan has had a
/ thorough test.
! Money velocity would be obtained
1 by the new process of heavy taxa
ton, the government, in turn,
spending the tax proceeds on pro-
jects which would create jobs. En-
ployment for every employable goes
considerably beyond Mr. Roosevelt 3
plans as outlined so far. The Presi-
dent claims for .tle $4,000, 900, 900 re-
covery and relief bill only that it
will provide 3,5O0,OO0 jobs directly.
/ There are upwards Of 100000 un-
employed.
The bank bill evidently meets the
requirements Of credit and money
control. Eccles' statement explain
! ed that the federal reserve board
as now empowered lacks authority
to fix the nations monetary poll
cies.
AN essential step in giving the
board this authority is 10 give it a
controlling influence over the sys-
TENS open market operations" Ec-
Giles said, for these are by far the
most important instrument of re-
serve policy.
by these operations reserves may
be given to or taken away from
member banks; and it is on these
reserves that deposits are based. 1t
is not too much to say that the pow
er to control open market opera
tions is the power TO control the ex-
pansion and contractions of bank
credit, and thus in large measure to
control the countrys supply of mon
ey."
Open market operations are the
| process by which the federal reserve
banks buy or sell government bonds.

of March l, 1892.
The defense intimation that Isl

LADDER CLAIM
DISPUTED BY
NEW EXPERT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. U.P)-
Arch w. Loney, materials cost ex
pert for the public works admins
tration and former lumberman, said
today he had notified Edward j..
Reilly, counsel for Bruno Richard
Hauptmann, he would testify for the
defense next week in the Lindbergh
kidnap trial.
Loney said he. was prepared to
deny state testimony linking Haupt-
mann with a ladder found under
the window of the Lindbergh nurs-
cry. The testimony was given by
another government expert.
Loney made public telegram he
had sent to Reilly, saying, in part:
1.-The fact of the ladder being
dismantled and a certain rail taken
to Hauptmann S attic by state
investigator and matched as to
grain and wood texture instead of
photographing comparisons, thereby
leaving the ladder intact, opens
room for investigation for a COM
! bined lumberlnan and human an
alyst.
"Will the total length of rail in
question and floor board taken from
attic exactly fit the vacant space
from which it is alleged they were
| taken?
"Any practical mechanic will
testify that cylinder knives from
planning mills common grades with
knot defects are changed every few
days. Therefore how could Koh-
Ter, the state wood expert, locate a
dull planning knife several months
after dressing?'

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9. - Left
wing new dealers" have proposed
higher income and corporate tax
es TO supplement the central bank
hill now before congress.
The bank bill itself is sponsored
by Mariner S. Eccles, governor Of
the federal reserve board. No Off
cial SO far has publicly sponsored
the tax plan. 1t would skim the
cream from individual income ana
corporate surpluses to keep the
money constantly in circulation
through federal expenditures.
Eastern bankers and conservative
congressman of both parties chal-
lenge the bank bill as an unwar-
ranted extension of political control
over the banking system. Eccles' re-
ply in the opening exchange of ar
gument said the bill would:
l. Accelerate the rate of econom-
ic recovery.
2. Make the banking and none
tary systems responsive to present
