Although Mussolini has been de-
cided for almost year to conquer
Abyssinia and the plans of campaign
settled since last March, there is at
present the usual fencing preliminary
to the military operations.
The Abyssinians are accused Of
wantonly creating incidents and of
insulting the Italian flag. These as
sertions cannot be proved or dis
proved. The next thing which we
may expect within the next few weeks
is an attack without declaration of
war; the provocation will come nee
essarily from the Ethiopian side. If
you don't believe it, 90 and prove that
the italian staff In Eritrea has not
told the truth.
Whatever efforts some of the ma
tions like Great Britain and the
United States may make for the
maintenance Of peace in the world,
it appears every day more clear that
their efforts are bound to be doomed.
The reason for this is that seven
great powers control the world. These
are the United States, Great Britain,
France, Russia, Germany, Japan and
Italy.
OF these seven powers the first four
may be placed in the saturated"
class. The other three belong to the
hungry" or the "have-not" class.
The first four have practically all
the territory they want and have suf-
ficient room for their overpopulation.

Italy and Germany are outright

Of today as one Of momentary con-

HULL ON ETHIOPIA
Rosso Touches Briefly on
Situation-British, French
Views Are Heard.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN

Conversations which Secretary OF
State Hull had this week with the
italian, British and French Ambassa-
dors were described in ofncial quarters
today as purely informative, the Sec
retary having given no indication as
to whether this Government intends
to take an active part in the 1talo-
Ethiopian controversy.
Augusta Rosso, the italian Ambas-
sador, who called on Hull Wednesday
to discuss principally the question OF
talo-American trade agreement be-
fore the Secretary's departure for the
Summer holidays, talked over casually
the question Of the Ethiopian con-
fiict. Secretary Hull informed Rosso
cautiously that the fundamental prin-
ciple of this countrys foreign policy
is the maintenance of peace through
out the world and consequently this
administration hoped the Italo-
Abyssinian conflict could be settled
without q war.
The ambassador, after expounding
the needs for territorial expansion OF
Italy and the steps Premier Mussolini
has taken to obtain q foothold IN
Abyssinia without fighting. expressed
the hope q war might still be avoided
If the Emperor Of Abyssinia could see
the situation in its true light.
No Message Required.
Secretary Hull is reported not to
have asked the ambassador to convey
any special message to Mussolini and
treated the visit as an ordinary rou-
tine courtesy call.
The British and French ambas-
sadors were summoned to the state
Department yesterday after Hull
talked with Ambassador RoSso. Sir
Ronald Lindsay and M. Andre de
Laboulaye informed the Secretary OF
State about the steps their respective
countries intend taking in order to
avoid war in Africa.
They are reported to have men
toned the 1906 treaty signed by Great
Britain, Italy and France, whereby
the three powers concerned undertake
not to make any move in Abyssinia
without first consulting each other.
As in the nine-power pact. there Is
nothing provided in the 1906 agree
ment to prevent Italy from intervening
in Abyssinia if it considers such an
Intervention necessary. According to
the provisions Of that treaty, Italy
will be obliged to take into considera-
tion the particular interests Of the
other signatories, but cannot be pre-
vented from occupying or establishing
. protectorate over that country.
No Specific Peace Plan.
Hull is reported to have made no
specific suggestion as to how the con-
f1ict might be avoided, outside the fact
that he re-emphasized the strong de-
sire of the United States that a war
should be avoided. He obtained from
these two Ambassadors inside infor-
nation they had received from their
governments regarding the efforts
which are being made at the present
moment to prevent the outbreak of
hostilities.
Secretary Hull Is leaving today for
his Summer vacation, and it Is con-
sidered unlikely any special step will
be taken during his absence. He
wanted, however. to be in full possess
sion Of all the facts connected with
the present conflict in order to be
able to cope with any new develop
ment which might occur within the
next few weeks.

PRESIDENT HIT

Has Sacred Duty to Consti-

Warren R. West.

President Roosevelt invited Con-
press ito abandon the obligation OF
Office" when he suggested that it
ignore the constitutionality of the
Guffey bill, Dr. Warren Reed West,
professor of political science and as
sistant dean of the George Washing
ton University School of Government,
charged in lecture yesterday.
The courts are not the only proper
Interpreters of the, Constitution, and
Congress and the President have an
equal duty to keep that document in
violate, he declared.
Defends SG.reme Court.
DR.. West strongly condemned ef-
forts to undermine the prestige of the
Supreme Court "by placing upon it
the onus of repeatedly holding acts
unconstitutional"
"The more beneficial these uncon-
stitutional laws may seem on their
face, the more plausible the criticism
will appear to be-" he continued. "If
it is the legislation of the social
type it is almost inevitable that the
court will be called reactionary, a bar
to progress or horse-and- buggy type
of mind and lacking in the stream
lined proportions of the high powered
1896 model progressive.
Respect for High Court.
Probably of all our institutions,
the Supreme Court has commanded
the most respect of all our own citi-
zens and has been held in greatest
admiration abroad. Certainly it would
seem to be a mistake to proceed
lightly to weaken the standing of an
institution that occupies so impor-
tant place in our system"
With respect to the obligation of
the President, DR.. West quoted the
words of the late William Howard
Taft, the only man who served both
as President and Chief Justice, that
it is the duty of the President to veto
q bill if it violates the Constitution
he has given his plighted faith to
maintain and enforce"

way the big powers are behav-
ing in regard to the pending
- tragedy of Ethiopia.
Japan, which was the first imror-
tant nation since the end of the war
to tear treaties and agreements to
pieces, is denouncing Italy as an in
solent aggressor, and is shedding croc-
odile tears over the Kellogg pact
Great Britain, the open champion
of Abyssinia's independence, is refus-
ing to issue licenses for the export of
arms to that country. The other ma
tions, like Denmark, Belgium and
Czechoslovakia, who are greatly in
terested in discouraging wars of ag-
gression, have done the same.
No such measure has been taken
against Italy.
Thus. while the aggreSsor nation can
buy all she wants and wherever she
wants. the country which is threatened
is handicapped in the purchase OF
even small quantities of war material.
Finally, the reports from Berne that
Italy is trying to purchase the sup
port of some of the races of Abyssinia
by paying them cash in silver for their
loyalty to Italy are confirmed. But,
the reports say, so far Mussolini has
met with but little success. What hap
pened is this:
Mussolini has commandeered all the
available silver coins in his country
and bought some more abroad. But
silver is high these days and the
Italian treasury is not blessed with too
much gold. The payments to the
races has to be made in the Abys-
sinian currency, the Maria Theresa
thaler. Mussolini had these minted in
Vienna, but it appears that upon care
full investigation by the races these
coins had more alloy than silver. They
were shiny all right, but contained
much too much lead and nickel.

ever, have little to recommend them.
Motorists maintain they have
right to expect cleanliness in lunch

have told us that they have adopted
the practice of walking out without
making any purchases when they
find the places do not conform to
ordinary standards of sanitation.
1T is emphasized that without the
patronage of the motoring public the
wayside stands could not exist, and,
further, that those making a special

GOVERNOR NICE PR f ID l G L S
SPECIAL SESSION

Unless there is an unexpected ana
drastic change for the better IN the
unemployment: situation a special
session of the Legislature will be
called for March /, according to
Governor Nice.
Mr.. Nice pointed out that the
gross-receipts tax law, which went
into effect in April, expires March 81,
and if business has not absorbed The
unemployed by then the tax Will
have to be continued or another
source of revenue tapped. He indl-
Gated that the gross-receipts levy I'M
doubtedly would be continued.
Recalling that Washington officials
have announced the Federal Govern
ment will withdraw from the RELIEF
picture November /, the Governor
said the unemployed will become the
sole problem of the State after that
date because Il certainly don't think
business will absorb them.
II do not think, however, that
special session of the Legislature
will be necessary before March l" he
continued. "That would give the
Legislature thirty-one days in which
to act"
Asked if the session would be con-
fined to unemployment relief, Mr..
Nice said the Legislature could not
be limited to certain problems but
had the right to take up any matter
when it was called.

CCC SHOWS RESULTS

If all the New Deal agencies were
paid off on results, the Civilian Con-
servation Corps would be one of the
first to collect. A report on the
achievements of the CCC during its
two years of existence, recently is
sued by Robert Fechner, director of
emergency conservation work, proves
this. And it further shows that the
American people were not wrong in
giving this peace army almost uni
versal acclaim. OF all the New Deal
agencies it has been the least criticiz-
ed and has frequently been recon-
mended to be made a.permanent part
of our government. Some of the
greatest benefits of the CCC do not
show in the Fechner report. They
concern the healthful aid given the
thousands of young men who were
slowly but surely losing their footing
in society due to the adverse cOndi-
lions growing out of the depression.
But even without these the CCC
iustifies it's existence with material
things accomplished.
Our long-suffering forests have re-
ceived the bulk of the benefit grow
ing out of the work of these young
men. Since the first 275,000 were
modified in 1915 camps spread out
over the country they have planted
29O,OO0,O00 trees on denuded areas.
In a systematic program to prevent
forest fires they have constructed
$1,000 miles of roads and trails
through forests, strung $4,000 miles
of telephone lines, cut $4,000 miles
of fire breaks, reduced fire hazards
on a million and half acres, and
built 1920 lookout houses and
towers. On almost 100000 acres
they have completed work to i'm
prove the stand of timber. Nearly
100000 acres of forests have been
gone over to check losses due to in
sects, and 100000 acres have been
treated for tree diseases. Also sur
veys for estimating the timber stand
have been completed on 100000
acres.
In other work not connected with
the forests the CCC has constructed
1,144,OO0 check dams for the pur
pose of preventing the outlying OF
land by water Dams have been
built, areas cleared, and surveys
made in preparation for food control
work, and about $4,000 acres of
public camp grounds have been i'm
proved. In addition over 10000
miles of roadsides and trailsides
have been cleared.

RURAL ROAD PROJECT

News of a vast work-relief pro-
gram ito get the farmer out of the
mud" comes from Washington.
A farm-to -market road building
project, far exceeding the approx
mately S1OO,00O,OOO heretofore
designated for back roads, is in the
making under the direction of Law
renee Westbrook, assistant to Harry
l.. Hopkins, Works Progress Admin
strator.
State works progress administra-
tors have been notified to correlate
their rural roads projects immedi-
ately. Each state is to pick the
roads to be improved; then the list
is to be considered in cooperation
with the bureau of public roads.
So far, the President has announc-
ed quarter of the 100000, 600 set
aside for general highway construc-
ton is to go for feeder or rural
roads, and a quarter of the grade
crossing elimination fund of $780,
100000 is to be used for roads not
in the federal aid system. A por-
ton of the latter sum probably
would go toward farm-to-market
roads. The new plan is in addition
to both these sums.

PWA PROJECTS IN MARYLAND

The status of Maryland's program
is shown in a report received by Abel
Wolman, State director of Public
Works. from the PWA's division OF
economics, which has just completed
a national survey of the public works
system as of July /.
Filling in the gap between the old
and the new PWA, sixteen non-Fed-
eral projects, estimated to cost
total of $1S,201,6OO, are now under
construction in Maryland.
Work on twenty-five non-Federal
projects, costing $2,SSO,O00, have
been completed in the State, and
three more projects have been ap-
poyed and soon will be under con-
struction.
Most of the projects now under
way, however, are being financed on
the seventy-thirty per cent. basis
established for the old PWA.
Mr.. Wolman at present has on file
forty-one applications for PWA aid
on projects to be undertaken In
Maryland on the new basis, involving
a total estimated cost OF S23,-
55,851.71.

IF YOUR JOB WAS AT STAKE

IF YOUR JOB WAS AT STAKE
The private automobile driver has
much to learn, so far as safety is
concerned, from the opeartor of COM
mercial vehicles.
From 1927 to 1894, the number of
passenger cars registered increased
IN per cent-while the number of
such cars involved in fatal accidents
rose 55 per cent.
By contrast, during the same
period the number of trucks in use
increased IL per cent-while the
number involved in fatal accidents
rose only per cent. Similar fav-
olable records were made by buses
and taxicabs.
The private driver is his own boss.
He can take chances, get in acct
dents, and be as reckless and in
competent as he pleases without los
ing his Job unless The authorities
step in. The commercial operator
has to drive safely-or look for an
other calling The reckless and in
capable driver lasts about as long
with a commercial vehicle concern
as does a SNOWFALL in Hades-and
the accident figures reflect that stu
alton accurately.
If every driver adopted the atti-
tude that his job and his livelihood
depended upon his being safe and
competent the accident toll would go
into tail spin at once. AS a mat
ter of fact, he has something even
more vital at stake whenever he
takes the wheel-his life, and the
lives of others. Thirty-five thou
sand people died unnecessarily last
year because of recklessly or incom-
petently driven automobiles, Will
that happen again?
