Norris and Mullen in Row
About Power Plants


@ ENATOR GEORGE NORRIS of
- Nebraska and Arthur f. Mullen
former Democratic national commit
teeman for that state, are engaged in
warm dispute that may cause con-
siderable embarrassment for President
Roosevelt, friend of both men. Mullen
carried to the White House hot pro-
test against $20,O00,000 power prof.
ect which is sponsored by Norris. He
is attorney for two 100000 power
plants which already have been APP
proved by the PWA, and he asserts
there Is no field for the enormous
amount of electrical energy that would
be developed by the three projects,
and probably not enough water for all
of them.
The first project approved by PWA
was at Columbus, Neb., so miles west
of Omaha, and situated on the Loupe
river. The second was on the Platte
river, $50 miles farther west, at Suth-
erland. Neb. Both were approved in
the fall of 1888. In addition to the
original grants and loans approximate
ing $15,000,000, there was added an
ALLEGATION of $2,500,000 later.
In the rivalry between these two
projects the same argument about the
shortage of water was used, and Null
len was criticized for acting as attor-
ney for both.

PARK ATTITUDES
MEAN NOTHING TO
PICARD FAMILY

The attitudes of Yellowstone park
mountains weren't nearly as impress
sive to DIR. and Mrs. Jean Picard,
stratosphere balloonists, as were the
geysers, the falls, and the bears.
The two intrepid flyers who reached
a height of more than 10 miles in
their flight year ago considered
] the 10.000-feot elevations in the park
really down to earth" levels.
Maintaining that stratosphere ex-
plorations within the next decade or
two will produce some of the major
scientific discoveries. Dr. Picard ex-
pressed keen disappointment in the
failure of the army flight from
Rapid City, South Dakota. On his
way to Yellowstone park, they visit
ed the site of the latest stratosphere
exploration attempt, but neither DR..
Picard nor his wife would offer any
suggestion as to the possible cause
for the failure of the test flight.
Ardent outdoor enthusiasts, the en-
tire Picard family of three children
and the parents made the park trip
real outing. Clad in shirt, shorts
and sneakers, the quintet headed i'm
mediately for remote sections of the
park, choosing to camp on lake
shores and along streams in the
park.
DR.. Picard is now affiliated with
the Franklin institute in an advisory
capacity as a chemist. He was for
merly a professor of chemistry at
Chicago, Basic and Lausanne uni
versities. The family plans to leave
the park within about two weeks,

Russia Again Warned About
Communist Activities

D USSIA'S reply in Americas protest
IN against the subversive plotting of
the Communists in Soviet territory
was a rejection and coldly worded
re-assertion of the old and more than
dubious position that the Moscow
government is not and cannot be held
responsible for the doings of the Com
munist Internationale. This was con-
sidered for four days by official Wash
ington and then it was decided to let
the matter drop with another and
rather milder warning. The new note
sent to Moscow said:
IF the Soviet government pursues
a policy of permitting activities on
it's territory involving interference
with the internal affairs of the United
States, instead of preventing such
activities, as it's written pledge pro-
vides, the friendly and official rela-
tons between the two countries can
not but be seriously impaired"

Neutrality Act Signed
by President Roosevelt

DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT signed
L the congressional resolution of neu-
trality, announcing that he approved
it because it is INTENDED as an eX-
preston of the fixed desire of the
people of the United States to avoid
any action which might involve us in
war"
However, he made plain his objec-
ton to the infleXible provisions of the
act, saying it was conceivable that
situations might arise in which these
might have exactly the opposite effect
from that which was intended" The
resolution calls upon the President to
place an embargo on the export of
farms, ammunitions and implements
of war" to all belligerents in the event
of war, and creates national mu-
nitions control board. The application
of the arms embargo lasts only until
March 1, 1886.

corporation, and runs for 20 years. 1t
was obtained by F. w. Rickett, an
English promoter, representing the
corporation, and the transaction was
witnessed by Everett Andrews Col
son, American financial adviser to the
emperor.
The emperor himself said the con-
cession was given to Standard Oil, but
officials of Standard Oil of New Jersey
and other Standard Oil units fatty
declared they had no knowledge of or
interest in the grant. The company
was incorporated in Delaware by the
United States Corporation company
of New York.
The governments of Great Britain,
France and Italy were much stirred
by this development. The British
government formally advised" the
emperor to withhold" the concession,
asserting that it considered this a
matter for consultations between the
English, French and Italian govern
ments. The emperor in an interview
declared he did not see why a conces-

create international complications or
involve the treaty which the three
nations named signed in 1906. That
pact creates spheres of influence" in
Ethiopia but never was recognized by
the Ethiopian government.
LAS a sovereign state we have the
right to do anything we please in our
own territory" said Halle Selassie.
THE United States is not party to
the 1906 treaty in which England,
France and Italy merely pledge them
selves to do nothing to encroach on
the interests of others. This is one Of
the reasons / gave the concession to
Standard Oil. AS the agreement is al
ready signed, sealed, and delivered, l
do not see how it can be recalled
if such thing is suggested by the
British government"
1t would seem that this action by
the emperor has forestalled Musso-
lini's intentions to seize and develop
the natural resources of Ethiopia,
though Rickett said he felt there was
plenty of room for the duce in the
general exploitation of such hos
pitable land as Ethiopia without re-
sorting to force of arms" In Rome
it was unofficially asserted that the
concession would not alter Italy's mill
tary program and that for the time
she may welcome commercial enter
prises of a neutral character under
taken in Ethiopia because the job Of
exploitation there is so vast and COM
pick.
Observers in Washington thought
there was a good chance for diplomatic
entanglements involving the United
States but expressed no fear that this
country would be drawn into the actual
conflict.
1t was announced in Adds Ababa
that the emperor also had granted to
British and Egyptian interests a char
ter for the conservation of the water
of Lake Tsana, the source of the Blue
Nile-which is of vast Importance to
Great Britain. 1t is proposed to build
dam and pumping stations, increas-
ing the output from Lake Tsana to the
Blue Nile. This will not only assure
an adequate water supply in perpetuity
for the Sudan and Egypt, but will en-
able thousands of acres now sterile
to be brought under cultivation.
