Italy Referred to as old
Friend as Parliament
Opens Debate.

By United Press
LONDON, Oct. 22.-Great
Britain hopes to localize and
halt the war between Italy
and Ethiopia without apply
ing military sanctions, Sir
Samuel Hoare, foreign secre-
tary, told a crowded House of
Commons today in opening a
three-day debate on foreign
policy.
Sir Samuel declared Britain does
not intend to act alone. and military
sanctions are not practicable be-
cause there has been no collective
agreement at Geneva to apply them
generally.
He indicated Britain will rely on
economic pressure.
There is still a breathing space
before economic pressure can be ap-
Piled" he said Can it not be used
for another attempt at settlement?
Italy is still a member of the
League.
Can not this chance be used so
as to make it unnecessary to pro-
ceed further along the unattractive
road of economic action against
fellow member, and old friend and
former ally?"
Hints at Isolation
This reference was regarded as a
distinct proffer of the olive branch
to Mussolini.
Hoare limited at British isolation
from continental affairs if the
League collapses.
Our critics." he said fail to
recognize that most of us regard the
League as a bridge between Great
Britain and Europe, and that if the
bridge is weakened or broken, CO.
operation between us and the con-
tinent becomes difficult and dam
gerous."
While clamoring for no miracles
from the League, let us fairly
recognize that it has never before
shown such encouraging vitality"
Notes Frances Answer
THE French answer to our COM
muniCatiOn is what we felt sure it
would be-" he said, referring to the
French reply to Britain's question
about whether France would defend
Britain if the latter is attacked.
1T is completely satisfactory and
the solidarity of our two countries is
established. In the event of an
isolated attack, inconceivable though
such madness might be, we and they
and the rest of the League vii stand
together and resist with full united
force"

The Italian command said the

The swift forward thrust into

motorization, was accompanied by
widespread aviation action.

BRITISH PRESSING
Move Follows Rejection of
Pacific 0vertures by
MuSS0Iini.
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, October 5-British diplo-
mats drove ahead at Geneva for appn-
cation of collective sanctions against
Italy today on the heels OF their blunt
rejection of pacific overtures by Pre-
mier Mussolini.
With some $50 fighting ships drawn
up for action in key Mediterranean
and Red Sea ports, Britain refused
even to answer MuSsolini'S suggestion
that there should be a simultaneous
Anglo-Italian cancellation of precau-
tionary measures in those areas.
British Get French Note.
The British government received a
French note believed to contain that
governments pledge to back up the
British feet in case of an attack in
the Mediterranean. At the same time
London let it be known 1t resorted to
plain language to reiterate the Brit
ish viewpoint to Mussolini, through
his Ambassador here, Dino Grandi.
The British action came in answer
to a telegram from Mussolini which
Grandi read to Sir Samuel Hoare in
a long conference at the foreign office
yesterday.
Mussolini submitted the viewpoint
that the British misunderstood the
Italian attitude, that he did not like
the idea of the British that for any
agreements upon Ethiopia the consent
of Emperor Halle SelaSsie was neces-
sary.
II Duce further contended he had
not defled the League, that he would
only leave it if League action COM
PEELED him to do so and that his de-
sire was to limit the hostilities to
colonial action and avoid extension in
other fields.
Attitude Misunderstood.
Hoare advised Grandi there had
been the most unfortunate and gravest
misunderstanding of British attitude
on the part of Italy throughout. He
said military action which has been
taken by Italy against Ethiopia had,
to say the least, made most difficult
any progress toward settlement.
Britain's great six-weeks' rush to
reinforce her Mediterranean and Red
Sea defenSeS continued unabated to-
day, even though almost the entire
home fleet and much of the West In
dian and China fleets have already
swung in behind the normal Mediter-
ranean units to meet the situation.

This Changing World
Hull Continues to Walk Calmly Through Bullets
Flying Over World, as He Did When They
Flew Once in Tennessee.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Some so years ago a lanky youth
was walking quietly on the streets of
a small town in Tennessee when there
was sudden outburst of rifle fire.
Lead flew all over the place. Men
took to their heels, children ran for
shelter, women screamed. When a
family row occurs in the Tennessee
hills, nobody is quite safe.
The lanky youth continued to walk
without quickening the pace. bullets
were flying over his head. He did not
bat an eyelash. although he admitted
later that he was scared stiff But,
he said, it was mo use showing that
was afraid, it would not have
helped any"
Later in the day he met one of the
sharpshooters. He walked up to him,
in the same quiet manner he had
walked through the shower of bullets,
and gave him powerful sock on the
nose.
The Tennessee youth of so years ago
is today Americas Secretary of State,
Cordell Hull. Once more there is lead
flying all over the world. Hull has
not quickened his pace. He plods
along, as he did in the little mountain
town in Tennessee, taking it all in
and not showing the slightest sign Of
emotion, although his temper rises
