GENEVA, Sept. 28.-(UP).-
League delegates heard last night
that Premier Benito Mussolini had
announced:
at may cost me a crown, may
be a hundred thousand italian
lives, perhaps my head-but Italy
will proceed with her plans re-
garding Ethiopia on the date we
decided upon months ago."
French quarters revealed the
almost over-dramatic version of
recent conversations at Rome be-
tween the dictator and French
Ambassador Count Charles.--de
Chambrun, who made an extreme
ly discouraging report to Premier
Pierre Laval.
Most delegates were inclined to
accept the account with a grain
Of salt but it's essential truth was
given general credence.
The League of Nations proceed
ed with three-fold action in anti
cipation of war between Ethiopia
and Italy.
Delegates with little or no hope
of swaying Italy from the road to
war, concentrated on preparations
for decisive action in the gravest
crisis to world peace since 1914.
The league moved along these
lines:
l. The assembly steering COM
against Italy's opposition,
decided that when the assembly
completes its work today it will
recess, instead of closing COM
pletely. This will keep the body
of small nations, who oppose
Italian militarism, ready to recon-
vene on "a hours notice.
2. The committee of 13 accept
ed in principle Emperor Halle Sc
lassie's proposal that a commits.
sion of neutrals be sent to Eth
opia at once to determine respon-
sibility as soon as war starts.
3. A subcommittee of experts
considered a plan to send neutral
observers with airplanes to Adds
ready to fly at once to any
frontier point where armed con-
fict is reported.

TRADES FEUD
Cooperatives Not Pleased
AT Ruling For Direct
Federal Payment
IS A VICTORY FOR
PRIVATE BROKERS
By EARLE B. STEELE
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. %,
| (UP).-Comptroller General Nc
Carl, watchdog of the treasury
in Washington. yesterday put an
end to the feud between private
cotton brokers and the American
Cotton Cooperative Association
over federal money to pay farm
ers "bounties."
McCarl ruled that the secretary
of agriculture must pay all farm
ers bOunties directly.
1t was a victory for private bro
kers, and the ACCA objected
strenuously."
The co-operatives had hoped to
give farmers their cotton adjust
ment payments out Cf its own
funds, and have the AAA reim-
burse it later.
Private brokers would have had
to wait until after December Is,
when the AAA gets it's machinery
set up, before paying bounties.
This would give the AAA a dis
tinct advantage in dealing with
farmers for their crops. Brokers
protested that-the ACCA's scheme
would ruin them, because any
farmer would prefer getting his
bounty right away, rather than
wait three months for it, so he
would turn his cotton over to the
ACCA to market for him.
The bounties are the AAA's ad-
justment payments to cotton
farmers who participate in its
acreage reduction program this
season. The government lends l
farmer 10 cents a pound on his
crop, and guarantees him II
cents. The extra two cents is the
bounty" 1t may be less than two
cents, if the market rises above
10 cents pound, but in any event
the farmer is assured ~ cents.
The ACCA, organized with gov
eminent funds, is the so-called
farmers own organization" 1t is
always first in line for benefits un-
der the AAA, and has been con-
tinually at war with the private
cotton trade.
The AAA planned to dispense
| it's bounties as follows:
Payment Dec. Is on cotton sold
prior to Dec. 1.
Payment April Is on cotton sold
prior to April l.
Payment Aug. Is on cotton sold
prior to Aug. 1.
Thus, a farmer who sold his cot
ton or took the government loan
on it, in September, would have to
wait until Dec. Is before his bro
ker could get the two-cent bounty
for him.
The ACCA promptly offered to
"render our 100000 members
and others an extra service" by
paying the bounty from its own
funds and collecting from the
AAA on payment dates. Several
government officials, including
Senator Bankhead, government
spokesman on cotton affairs, were
said to favor the cO-operatives'
plan.

Last week it was revealed that,
according to North Carolina
paper of 1898, the nominee was
driven out of Wilmington, N. c.,
for his alleged participation in
racial disturbances. It also was
said that several Southern Sen
ators had determined to make
every effort to keep Mr.. Scott out
of the office to which he has been
nominated.
Today, however, nearly every
report was favorable to the can
didate.
Senator King said that he has
receievd numerous letters from
both white and colored people in
Washington as we'll as North Caro-
lima in which Mr.. Scott was
highly praised. Only few scat

Meanwhile, the opposition bloc
in the Senate has become less out
spoken and, it was believed, less
determined to carry out their
fight.

Thc issue in Illinois is clear
cut. The State can and should
put up the reasonable amount we
have fixed as its share for the

"The people of Illinois and the
