Selasse's Ruse
Fails as Nations
Prepare for War
By Martin Dwyer


pia in its dilemma, this last indie
pendent African nation will have
to bear its burden alone. That
opinion was voiced this week by
palace spokesman who looked
anxiously about them for some
sign, for some avenue whereby
war with Italy can be avoided at
this late stage.
Like a house of cards, Emperor
Halle Selassie's big ace, the grant
ing of huge oil concessions to
Anglo-American interests has
come tumbling down, bringing
with it last hopes of averting actu-
al conflict with the beligerent
Italian dictator.
u. s. Company Withdraws
COMMUNICATES from the United
States have reached here and the
information that officials of the
Standard Vacuum Oil company
have announced their intentions of
Withdrawing from ownership of
the vast concession of oil privileges
in this country, is being weighed
by the emperor.
Political maneuvers over the
week brought little comfort to
Ethiopia in its effort to maintain
its independence. Orders of the
British to its delegates to the
League of Nations meeting at Gen
eva revealed that the English in
tend to play safe as long as they
can. France is definitely pro-
Italian in sympathy.
U. S. Keeps Out
The United States, whom Ethiopia
believes her only true salvation in
this hour of peril, has avowed its
purpose to keep out of the embrog-
Ito. Japan, while willing to aid
the cause of this country, has her
hands full keeping the Soviet wolf
from its door in Manchuria, and
seems to prefer waiting on devel-
opments before showing its hand.
Must Fight Alone
Therefore prevalent opinion
among well-informed Ethiopian
circles is that they will have to go
into the war with Italy alone. If
other nations come to her aid, it
will be at a later stage. Other
thinkers believe that the war will
revert from Africa after a few
months and will be confined to
European soil.
With Everett Colson, his Ameri-
can advisor, at his side, the frail
little man, on whose shoulders
rests the probable fate of the
world, spent many harried hours
in his palace seeking to work out
another plan which would yet out
smart Mussolini. When the news
of the granting of exploitation and
of privileges to the African Ex-
ploration and Development Cor
poration in Ethiopia by Emperor
Halle Selassie reached Europe, it
threw diplomatic circles into dis
may.
Politicians Stumped
Unprecedented in modern times,
international politicians were hard
put to find a way out of the morass
of uncertainty and chaos into
which efforts of the African ruler
had placed them.
Reports reaching here from
Washington, d. c., say that Sec
rotary of State Cordell Hull had
been working overtime to ascer-
tain what American firm had OBJ
tanned the lease on more than half
the Ethiopian kingdom for oil de-
velopment purposes.
Late Tuesday he received infor-
nation from his agents that the
Standard Vacuum Oil company,
jointly owned by the Socony-Va-

For the past few years many of
these old-timers have been on the
casting office lists for bit and ex-
ira parts, mingling in obscurity
with the mob. One by one, how
ever, they are proving their abil.
ity in talking pictures and are
staging what is more of resur-
rection than a comeback.
One of the most prominent of
these is William Farnum, who dis
appeared from view just before
talking pictures came in. After be-
ing filmdom's highest paid star
for long period, drawing as high
as $4,000 weekly, tWo-year siege
of illness took him out of the run
ming. When he returned, he was
no longer the romantic leading
man type, and has been content
to play character bits.
Then Cecil B. De Mile gave
him one scene in cleopatra" and
now he's slated for a bigger role
in c. BIS next, "The CruSades." /"
Hobart Bosworth was not only an
old-time star but also one of the
first producers. He will get an
other chance in the same film.

been long off the screen as a War
ner star, earning $4,000 per week,
