AWAITS GENEVA REACTION.
Selassie Delays Proclaiming Call to
Arm Warriors.

Adds ABABA, September 80 CP).-
Emperor Halle Selassie, after inform
ing the League of Nations that a
general Ethiopian mobilization was
imminent, decided to await Geneva s
reaction to his message today before
proclaiming the call to arms.
An adviser to the Kings of Kings
asserted that If necessary 100000
Ethiopian warriors would soon be
marching.
No definite date was set for the gen.
eral mobilization, however, and au-
thorities said it was conceivable that
the proclamation might even be with
held if the League of Nations or the
Ethiopian delegation to Geneva ad-
vised such action.
No Bate for Mobilization.
The government, aroused by false
reports published abroad (not car
ried by Associated Press that the
general mobilization would be called
Tuesday, announced officially that no
specific date had been set.
Government officials urged cor
respondents to be more accurate and
announced. True the Emperor en-
vlSages eventual mobilization because
of the gravity of the situation, but
no precise date has been fixed"
Calling the League of Nations at
tention to the increasing gravity of
Italian aggression" Halle Selassie said
in his telegram to Geneva: The time
has come when we would be failing
in our duty if we longer delayed gen.
eral mobilization.
Prudence Keeps Them Alert.
One of his principal counselors said:
1--WE cannot protect our frontiers
against possible sudden invasion and
at the same time refrain from mobili-
Zation. Common prudence compels us
to be alert"
He insisted, however. "The En-
peror with unbounding Christian faith
still reposes supreme belief in the
justice Of Ethiopia's cause and still
places hope in God and the League to
save the situation"
When and if war drums roll out a
national warning across the hills,
mountains and valleys of Ethiopia,
Halle Selassie's adviser said men and

ROOSEVELT SEES
CHEERFUL BUDGET
Deficit Is Billion Below ESti.
mates, He Says, in Pre-
senting Figures.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt told the Ma
ton, in report published today, that
Federal deficits will not be as large
as originally estimated and that his
critics are wrong when they say New
Deal spending spells heavy boosts in
taxes.
In a budget summation" which
marks a new departure in American
fiscal procedure, he declared economic
conditions have grown decidedly bet
ter; asserted tax receipts are higher
than expected, and estimated the
deficit for the current fiscal year will
be So, ,281 ,00o, 900, or s1,247 900 900 less
than his estimate last January.
Emergency Expenditures Decrease.
The prevailing rate of recovery"
he said, points to the speedy decline
of Federal expenditures for emergency
activities"
Unless the A. A. AS processing
taxes are knocked out by the Supreme
Court, he argued, the Government
will not need new taxes or increased
rates In existing taxes to meet the
expenses of its necessary annual op-
erations."
This will be true, he said, despite
erroneous and gloomy predictions
that heavy increases in taxation will
be required to balance the budget and
retire our public debt"
His remarks on taxation were re-
garded in many quarters as a follow
up to his recent declaration that busi-
ness may expect a breathing SPELL"
The budget summation, designed to
take account Of econonNc changes and
congressional appropriations since the
budget first was presented to Congress
in January. stressed reports of better
economic conditions.
This Is a subject to which the
President is referring frequently as
he travels across the country, and
administration leaders are seeking
to hammer home the argument that
the improvement proves the worth of
New Deal policies. In a radio speech
last night, Postmaster General Far
ley told the administrations critics
to look at the market reports"
In his budget summation, the Pres
ident said that If the A. A. A. should
be ruled unconstitutional, then we
will have to face the problem of
financing existing contracts for bene-
fit payments out of some form Of
new taxes"
No Promise Of Balanced Budget.
He did not promise a balanced
budget for the next fiscal year, be-
ginning July l, 1886. That budget,
he said, is being prepared with a
view to sharply decreasing the spread
between income and outgo."
His figures for the present fiscal
year were based on the premise that
the $4,000 100000 of work relief money
will be spent IN full. The works pro-
gram. he said, has moved more slowly
than I hoped. but is now accelerating
with reasonable assurance of provid-
ing adequate employment during the
coming months"
OF the economic outlook, he as
serted:
"At this date inventories are low.

Therefore, in caring for your children and other members of the family, al- ways try to maintain as high a state of individual health and re- sistance as is possible. I will leave with you one recipe for Q nourishing soup that will ap- peal to the children, regardless of whether they have colds. Milk-the nearly perfect food--is the base of this soup, plus spinach, which is rich in iron. Served with thin, crisp slices of wholewheat bread, 1t is excellent for both the old and young members of the household. 1 cup raw spinach (grOund or
 finely chOpped)
 1 quart milk
 2 tablespoons flour
 2 tablespoons melted butter I teaspoon salt If you grind the spinach, place a bowl or saucer to catch the juice which runs out. Heat the milk to boiling point, add the flour and butter, which have been well blend ed, then the chopped spinach and salt. Stir until thickened; then cook for about 10 minutes.
