CRITICS
Eden Cites League,
Ethiopia Betrayal In
Hoare Proposal
BY H, X. REYNOLDS

LONDON, Dec. 10 G.N.SD.
The Hoare-Laval plan for peace
in East Africa, making large con-
cessions to Italy, was nearly tor
pedoed by the British government
today in a series of sudden moves.
Prime Minister Stanley Bald
win, addressing the House of
Commons late in the afternoon
shortly after a crucial special ses-
sion of the cabinet, announced
that no suggested basis for settle
ment of the Italo-Ethiopian dis
pute had yet been submitted to
either Italy or Ethiopia.
Betrayal Hinted
"I am not at all sure" Bald
win told a tense house, "that
finality has yet been reached"
Baldwin'S sensational remarks
indicated the entire crisis had
again been thrown back to a
point comparable to its most
serious and war.t h a t e min g
stages.
His statement confirmed the
conviction which grew suddenly
and rapidly all morning that a
large portion of the British gov
eri1ment was strongly opposed to
the peace plan approved over the
weekend by Foreign Secretary Sir
Samuel Hoare in a Paris converSa-
ton with Premier Pierre Laval.
The plan repeatedly would call
for the ceSsion of about 100000
square miles of territory by Ethio-
pia to Italy.
Led by youthful, fiery, pro-
League of Nations Anthony Eden,
many high members Of the cabinet
Immediately charged Sir Samuel
had exceeded his authority in ap-
proving a plan which betrayed"
Ethiopia and the League.
AS a result of today's cabinet
session, it was learned authorita-
lively, Anglo-Saxon peace talks
will continue regarding points of
detail of the peace plan, and
the plan will not be submitted i'm
mediately to Italy, the League,
and Ethiopia.
No Basis Offered
Replying to a private notice
question by Major Clement Attlee,
heading the Laborite opposition,
Baldwin explained the nature OF
the peace proposals as follows:
"The committee of coordination
at Geneva had approved negotia-
tions by the French and British
governments for settlement of the
dispute. Such a basis must be
submitted for the views Of the
parties.
"Sir Samuel Hoare and PremieH
Laval discussed the substance
the proposals and the procedur2
mo suggested basis hs
present been submitted eit
Italy or Ethiopia and it
would be premature to
statement on the subject.
Answering further qud
Baldwin reiterated the old
ish thesis that it would be
necessary condition of negotiS
tions that approval by threeN
parties-Italy, Ethiopia and the

TRIES
TO RESCUE
PARLEY
Pleads With Industry
For Help As Bolt
Continues

Determined to continue the Ad-
ministration's industrial confer.
ence in the face of wholesale
desertions by business delegates,
Industrial Coordinator George L.
Berry today made an impassioned
appeal to American business to
join the Government in seeking
to alleviate pressing economic
problems.
Declaring that yesterdays tu-
multous session, at which numer-
Gus industrial groups withdrew
from further participation. has
clarified the situation somewhat"
Berry informed the remaining
delegates that the Administration
intended to set up an industrial
council exactly as originally
planned.
Those who waste words quib-
bling" he asserted, forget that
the Government is a partner in
this cooperative effort and that
it represents all the people.
The opinions of any and all
persons who are members Of large
or small units of industry or labor
may still be laid before the con-
ference, and will be given careful
weight and consideration"
Although only minute seq
ment of industry has thus far
signified its intention to sit
further in the conference, Berry
contended that hundreds of tele-
grams and letters received by him
today praised the purpose Of the
business session.
Politics to Be Ignored
He added that the aim of the
conference could not be swept
aside by political consideration or
unreasoning opposition.
Berry made his appeal while the
various remaining industrial and
labor groups were meeting in
round table discussion at local
hotels. These groups also will de-
eide whether to elect representa-
tives to the projected industrial
council which is scheduled TO meet
for the first time tomorrow.
Bitterly upbraiding conference
critics for seeking to obStruct the
Presidents efforts to stabilize in
dustry, Berry branded attempts to
depose him as the tactics of COM
muniSts.''
"The tactics pursued were those
normally taken by obStructionistS
to progress whom some people
commonly characterize as com.
munists," he asserted. 1T presents
a sorry spectacle when industry
members adopt soap-box tactics" "
Leading the parade of desert
ing delegates, John w. OLeary,
president of the Machinery and
Allied Products Institute, denied
Administration foes had planned
to diSorganize the conference
through a prearranged plan.
Mr.. O'Leary, former president
of the United States Chamber Of
Commerce, had been nominated

ENDICOTT, N. Y, September al
Nearly $4,000 New York Democrats
decided Overwhelmingly today to rally
behind the lone standard of Gov. Her
bert H Lehman and to exclude if pos
sible the national New Deal as an is
sue in the November election to re-
tain control of the Assembly.
The vast open-air convention heard
Postmaster General James A.. Farley,
who Is also head of the party in this
State. demand that the Legislature
and Congress take steps to prevent the
collection of secret Republican war
chest ito influence the elections"
The rally heard a message from
President Roosevelt extolling "un-
official" off-year conventions, such as
the one being held here, and the
platform pledged devotion to the Ma
tons Chief Executive.
Lehman was given a tremendous
ovation. He remained silent as to
whether he would run again.
In demanding steps to prevent "the
secret collection and use of vast Re-
publican funds to influence the cleo
tion," Farley said:
1T is announced from Washington
that the Republican National Com
mittee has organized private cor
poration to gather this huge fund and
hope by this device the names of con-
tributors may be concealed. No sub
terfuge should permit the Republican
National Committee to conceal the
persons and interests to whom it owes
its financing and who in turn find
that committee a useful and willing
weapon with which to fight the re-
forms sponsored by the Democratic
leadership"

The general opinion the other night
seemed to be that it is Dicks best

are the best of their kind, that the
music is excellent and that young
Johnny Arledge (who did an out

walks away with the show.
Arledge's main scene was ap-
pIauded-a rare event for a dramatic
