housing conditions in District alleys.
He said up to 10 persons are living
in one room and that one-fourth Of
the colored population in the District
is on the relief rolls. He told the
delegates housing conditions in the
slums are greatly detrimental to
morals and contribute largely to crime
conditions.
Ufford said a bill is being prepared
for introduction in the House. which
will limit the number of persons
allowed TO live In rooms.
Following Ufford's talk, Charles
Flagg, a colored real estate man and
a delegate to the conference, told the
members people now living In alleys
would refuse to move from their pres
ent locations into the low-cost area.
He described housing conditions in the
alleys as being tragic"
Edward B. Henderson, head of the
Department of Health and Physical
Education OF the Public Schools, Di-
vision 10. made plea against segre-
CATION of the colored race. He said
that In order to bring about the true
meaning of a fellowship of man, no
distinction should be drawn between
the colored and white races. in the
theaters. indoor sports, concerts or
other public gatherings.
c. Marshall Finnan, superintendent
of the National Capital Parks. told
the delegates that the barriers OF race
prejudice were slowly being alieviated

ETHIOPIAN DISPUTE
CONTINUED From First Paee.)

and Afdub are still proceeding in Ad-
dis Ababa. the official source said.
No reaction. he added. has been re-
ceived from Adds Ababa in regard to
the Italian mobilization.
The spokesman acknowledged that
the Italian mobilization might be ex-
pected to produce corresponding
activity in Ethiopia. He said the
Italian troops have not yet received
orders to move. but that If they should
be forced to march into Ethiopia the
movement would be only a police
expedition"
As a consequence, he explained, any
such move probably would not be pre-
coded by a formal declaration OF war
Tribes May Be United.
The spokesman said the government
Is convinced of the good intentions OF
Emperor Halle Selassie, but believes
he is unable to control his tribal
chieftains. He conceded, however.
that an Italian invasion OF Ethiopia
might have the effect of uniting these
peoples behind their monarch.
The fact that the mobilization an
nounced in yesterdays communique Is
being extended was revealed as both
reserve officers and privates OF classes
other than 1911, who received their
orders yesterday, continued to receive
instructions to report at their con-
centration centers.
Cards ISSUED from the War Depart
ment notified the Reservists to report
with full equipment.
The Ethiopian Legation was under
the guard of seven uniformed police
men today and no visitors were ad-
mitted.
The Ethiopian Minister, Negradas
Yesus, declared his countrymen would
not submit to invasion without q bitter
fight.
King Halle Selassie, Yesus said. has
100000 armed men at his command
prepared to battle to the death for
their nations independence. A force
Of 10000 900 can be raised on short
notice he declared.
Approximately SO Italian planes are
en- route to the Italian colony Of
Eritrea from Tripoli. They were be-
lieved TO be flying in small contin-
gents because OF the restricted air
field facilities along the route.
In diplomatic circles it was freely
conceded that Mussolini's spectacu-
lar gesture undoubtedly was Influenced
by the clarification Of the European
situation ny conclusion Of the Franco
Italian and Franco-British accords.

he had the excitement about the gold
cases in mind when he said:
The country can go about its bust
ness with assurance that we are pre-
pared to manage the external value
of the dollar as long as it may be
necessary"
The word assurance" was under
scored in the official copies of the
statement When pressed for details
Morgenthau said with a smile:
Il spent a lot of time composing
that sentence. Please don't make me
change it,"
Foreign Markets Unsettled.
Apprehension over the outcome OF
the gold cases has kept foreign ex-
change marts in contortions since
January IA. Yesterday stocks and
commodities were heavy and trading
inactive because traders heSitated to
take a position.
Morgenthaus statement said the
International gold standard as be-
tween foreign countries and the
United States has ceased its auto
matte operation" since January IA.
On that date the principal gold
currencies dropped below the gold
export point-which is S3478 for an
ounce OF gold. Ordinarily, when this
happens. it becomes more profitable
to settle international balances by
buying gold abroad and shipping it
here. where it brings s35 an ounce
But potential importers of gold sp-
parently feared that an adverse de-
cision while their metal was on the
ocean might lead the United States
Government to lower the price of gold
from S35. In that case they would
suffer losses.
An indication that considerable
profit might have accrued to the
sterilization fund since placed in
operation in January IA was seen by
observers in Morgenthau's indication
that banks and dealers in foreign ex-
change had stopped operations since
that date.
In the interim more than 500, 000.-
900 in the metal has reached these
shores. 1t is pointed out that if this
gold was for the account of the
sterilization fund profit would have
accrued. for the metal was selling
within the gold export point.
For instance, on January Is, in the
London market, gold sold for $346l63
an ounce, and again on January Is
for S34.7O58. These prices would
have yielded a profit of II and 8
cents an ounce. respectively. Yet.
Morgenthau indicated, dealers and
banks were not shipping. which led
observers to believe the imports were
for Sterilization account
Morgenthau said that as a mark of
courtesy he had informed foreign
central banks his sterilization fund
was going into action but that he had
not consulted with them about policy.
Thanks to the foresight of the
Seventy-thi Congress, we now have

statement said.
When we saw that the external
value Of the dollar was rapidly going
out of control. we put the sterilization

with the result that for the past four
weeks we have successfully managed

being built so that schools and other
essentials are no longer in constant
jeopardy.
Closing Of schools In communities
over the country where the archaic
general property tax broke down in
dicates that the tax base must be
widened, real estate must no longer
be practically the sole tax source for
local government, the committee
points out. 1t Is possible to extract
only so much money from real es-
tate. When taxation went over this
limit, naturally the schools suffered
There could be no other result from
a fiscal system based on a single
source Of revenue.
A. J. Wildanger, president of the
Flint, Mich, board of education
shows close relationship between over
all tax limitation, such as Michigan
has adopted, and more stable revenue
for schools. He writes Of what hap.
pened in Michigan:
1.-The property tax had fallen down
Tax delinquency had increased to such
degree that 1t was sheer nonsense II
continue to pyramid levy upon levy
with no possibility that homesteads
could pay them.
Attention Compelled.
Adoption of our IS mill tax linli-
tation has forced the attention of all
people upon financing sufficient to
keep the schools open. Ample revenue
is being provided by the State to con-
tinue our schools for the full year and
the State is the proper source for fl
nancing, as it can tap forms of wealth
not available to local units of gov
ernment."
Real estate" Mr.. Stark points out,
"is exceptionally vulnerable. 1t is visi-
bic. It cannot be hidden. 1t cannot
be moved. With its exceptional vul-
nerability, it needs some exceptional
protection.
This protection must be such as
will fit into the long time project. We
certainly have no desire TO protect
ourselves at the expense of other
parts of our economic and social
structure. On the other hand, there
is no question but what other fac
tors in our economic structure are
cognizant of the fact that a taxation
system which destroys real estate de-
stroys the very foundation of eco
non1ic security and social stability"
Chief vile of taX-spenders, Mr..
Stark points out, is to ask for this
or that new tax, promising that it
will be used to reduce the real estate
tax. Necessary strategy to insure
real estate tax reduction, he pointed
out, is that used, for example, in
Indiana, where pressure of public
opinion forced first an overall tax
limitation measure, after which
farmers, home owners and other
real estate owners supported a new
revenue measure. When the smoke
cleared away it was discovered that
taxes had been reduced by some
S42,000,000, that government ex-
penditures had been reduced to an
amount nearly half of that, and that
the new revenue measure need raise
only the other half.
1t took four years to accomplish
that much in Indiana. In the State
