Bessie. Ethiopia promised Italy the
right of economic penetration. The
treaty was not observed. and Italo-
Ethiopian relations have been strained
to the breaking point on several oc-
casions since then.
Added to Italy's problems Is the
economic penetration of Ethiopia By
Japan. MuSsolini is said to feel that
unless he acts now, his dream OF
establishing protectorate over
Ethiopia and using it to his own ends
will vanish.
Expulsion Suggested.
OF current debate is Italy's refusal
to let Ethiopia sit in at the Council
Board if arbitration of differences IS
renewed. Italy has gone so far as to
suggest expulsion of Ethiopia from the
League of Nations. In reply, Halle
Selassie demands recognition as head
of nation in its own right.
Arbitration IS made complex by the
powers interests in Ethiopia. Japan
enjoys growing market there. France
owns almost all of the railroad COUP
ling Djibouti, in French Somaliland,
and Adds Ababa, capital of Ethiopia.
In Ethiopia rises the Blue Nile, which
becomes the Nile watering important
farming sections of Egypt.
The ebb and flow of feeling between
Italy and England, between Italy and
France, and between England and
France. incident to the Ethiopian
crisis has reflected in part the COM
mercial interests of the countries in
volved in the peace negotiations.

EXECUTIVE ORDERS

Presidential LaWmaking Is

By the Associated Press.
The American Liberty League said
yesterday that "lawmaking by execu-
tive order" was "subversiVe Of popu-
lar government" and smacked OF
"autocracy and despotism."
1t said President Roosevelt, up to
July, had issued more than 1850
executive orders, that administrative
orders issued by authority of the Ex-
ecutive mandates run into the thou
sands" and that so new agencies and
additional branches Of existing agen-
cies had been created by executive
order.
Although executive and admins
trative orders have the force of law"
the league said, there exists no ade-
quate method by which those subject
to them can keep advised as to their
provisions.
Under present conditions citizens
may be shown to have violated admin

NEW YORK, August 5.-The Italo-
Ethiopian war-if war comeS-win be
waged oStensibly over ownership of a
few water wells, actually on the issue
of sovereignty of a country where
four world powers have more than
passing commercial interests.
Emperor Halle Selassie says he will
fight for freedom. Dicattor Benito
Mussolini for "a complete solution of
the Ethiopian problem.
Behind Italo- Ethiopian animoSities
is a long and bloody record of border
trouble involving the domain Of the
curly-bearded emperor and Italy's
two colonies in East Africa, Eritrea
and Somaliland. For two generations
the two countries have been at odds,
using ownership of water wells some
where on the nebulous borderland be-
tween Somaliland and Ethiopia as a
springboard for their disputes. Ethi-
opia claims that water, precious dur
ing the long dry season. but Italy
has possessed it for the last six years.
Conflict Causes Deeper.
Much deeper are the causes Of the
conflict. They begin back in 1896
when Ethiopia's black hordes annl-
hilated an Italian army at Adowa.
Even then Ethiopia charges. Italy
nursed desire TO penetrate the en-
pire by either violent or pacific means.
Ethiopia, hinterland for both the
Italian colonies, held the key to their
prosperity. Ethiopia itself was rich
field for Italian trade.
Mussolini wants to construct rail-
road through Ethiopian territory,
linking his two colonies; Ethiopia OBJ
jects. Italy wants to further an eco
nomic penetration of Ethiopia; Ethi-
opia responds with passive resistance
to Italian trade.
For her part, Ethiopia wants egress
to the Red Sea. At one juncture
during the negotiations for peace be-
tween the two nations, Ethiopia con-
sented to cede part Of the province
Of Ogaden (Which she claims) to Italy
and accepts in lieu therof an outlet
to the Red Sea at Zeila through
British Somaliland This olive branch,
suggested by the British, Mussoini
turned down.
Treaties Mark Relations.
The relations between Italy and
Ethiopia have been marked by treaties
consummated but never observed. In
1908, a treaty delimiting frontiers Of
the Italian colonies was signed but
junked Three years later began a
series of border incidents-the Ualual
clash recently in which 100 died, was
but a continuation of them-each
country charging the other with in
vading its territory and capturing
natives for slavery and livestock for
food.
Again in 1923, the two nations
signed treaty. Italy promising Ethi-
opia the right to the use of the port
of Assab in Southern Eritrea, the two
signatories to construct jointly an
automobile road between Assab and

POPE'S ETHIOPIAN
PEACE HOPES WANE
Pontiff Reported Perturbed
by Burning of French
Catholic Mission.
BY the Associated Press.

CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy, Au-
gust 5.-Catholic prelates said today
Pope Plus has experienced extreme
sorrow at dispatches from Djibouti,
French Somaliland, reporting the
sacking and burning by Ethiopians
Of the French Catholic mission at
Dubbo, Ethiopia.
The Pontif also has been seriously
perturbed. prelates said, by reports
that MSgr. JarouSseau, apostolic pre-
feet of Gala Ethiopia, has been the
object of threats.
Still Praying for Peace.
The prelates said that although
the Pope was still praying that peace
might be maintained between Italy
and Ethiopia. he considered that de-
velopments in East Africa tended to
make such an outcome well nigh i'm
possible.
The Pope has taken some COM
fort, however, from recent express
sions by the italian press, apparently
government-inspired, that Italians
felt eventual hostilities in East Africa
would not be caused by feeling of
race hatred.
Newspapers have asserted that such
a conflict would be the product of
the impoSSibility of Italian civiliza-
ton existing alongside what they
termed Ethiopian barbarism.
Hopes for Minimum of Bloodshed.
From this Interpretation of the fun
damental problem between Italy and
Ethiopia, prelates said the Pontiff OBJ
tanned hope that Italian penetration
of Ethiopia would be accomplished
WITH a minimum of bloodshed and
with prompt civilizing measures.
The Vatican has been represented as
convinced that one of its principles

to be violated, but that through this
violation, another of its principles

Ethiopian College built inside the

within its walls. But he also has had
friendly relations with the Italy of

sometimes a bargain
A good many people look on August as
their lucky month-and we don't mean
those who spend it lying on the sand and
taking in salt air.
We mean those people who have formed
the habit of buying things when other peo-
pie aren't porch rugs and luggage and
towels and lamps and all sorts of things,
for use now and for use next season.
Of course they have learned that "bar.
gains are not always bargains. They
know how to recognize quality and style
and worth, how to find the strong points
and how to avoid weaknesses. And much
of their knowledge has come from the ad.
vertisements in this newspaper.
All of us follow advertising, but some
people study it so thoroughly that they
know exactly what they want and where
to get it. They are the ones who find the
real bargains. Their money buys more
