SELASSIE BIDS FOR PEACE BY

(By The Associated Press)

(By The Associated Press)
 Undated, Dec. 3, - Sel- assie made another bid for peace with Italy, an author itative religious source in Cairo divulged today,
 At the same time Musso- lini created a brain trust to remodel the Italian diet al- ong wartime lines.
 In London, the British treasury offered two gigan- tic loans, part of which may be used for defense.
 It was learned that Selassie appealed to the Supreme authority, Cop ic Christian Church, for aid. He asked Patriarch Johannes to intervene the Italian government and establish a basis for peace conversations with the fascist minister at Cairo, about. the middle of the month.
 The British treasury an- nounced it had offered loans to total about one billion, four hundred and fifty eight million dollars.
 The news aroused specu- lation as to how much of it might be used to strength en the national defense.
 King George warned Par lament "the fulfillment of our international obliga- tions under the League covenant, no less than the adequate safeguarding of our Empire, makes it ur- gently necessary, that the deficiency in our defense forces be made good"
 Authoritative sources in London predicted today that the oil embargo again. st Italy would be adopted by the League under Brit ish pressure.

WASHINGTON CURRENT
 COMMENT

The League of Nations has in mind a procedure against Italy embodying considerable of that drast- ic treatment which is known as cracking down. It is proposed to buy noth- ing Italian, shut off the sup ply of arms and munitions to the European belliger- ant, and see to it that he gets no cash and little op- portunity to buy on tick, the bars being let down ac- cordingly and per contra for the other party to the commotion.
 If the end in view is to make hard gong for the Duce, the means selected seems fairly adequate. It may be assumed that at present we have no interest in the African war and arc nfaintainin ga strict neutral ity. The plans of the Leag- ue, therefore, do not seem to be our affair, generally and sperficially considered. It is intended, however, to ascertain whether or not the United States is friend ly to the program, before going ahead with it. Our answer will call for a state craft of a high order. What shall we say, and at the same time keep our finger out of the latest European war pie?

 San Francisco, Dec. 3, - A nationwide stevedore strike order against steam ship lines serving Gulf of Mexico ports, went into ef- feet today, but in San Fran cisco, leaders of the long, shoremen disagreed as to how sweeping the ban was to be.
 William J. Lewis, district president of the Information al Longshoremen's Associa- ton declared that his inter- pretation of the strict ord- CT sent out by Joseph P. Ryan, president, was that it applied only to two com- panies refusing to deal with the l. L. A.

Washington is up in arms on account of a ruling to the effect that communism may be taught in the pub- lie schools so long as it is not advocated. The matter is mentioned, not as a piece of Washington news, but because it is something that may present itself as a problem for the country at large. The desire to teach Red doctrines is prima facie evidence of a desire to advocate them. Such instruction cannot be justified on the ground that communism is an hist orical fact. Prostitution is an historical fact, but the history of prostitution is not considered a necessary

 Juneau, Dec. 3, Three more of the "A defendants in the Alaska Juneau mine strike riot trial, testified Monday that they had creat ed no disturbance while the miners were organizing to march to the mine last June 24th to register and resume their work.
 Simon Graner said he attended most of the min- CTS meetings but heard no union officials make any re- marks, as the government charged, about arming de- monstrators to prevent the march.
 Bill Taroff denied that he made any disturbance and Harry Datoff testified he was clubbed over the head by one of a group of men, and that he finally wrested the buldgeon away from him and hammered his as- sailant with it.

Holding Company Act.

The Government, through the Attorney
General and the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Is seeking. to prepare the
way for an early test In the courts of
the public utility holding company act.
At the same time the administration
leaves it quite clear that it holds that
the holding companies should promptly
register, under the act, with the Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission. The
holding companies up to date have with
held such registration except for a single
company Registration is demanded by

Secretary's Misquotation
Unchallenged by Hearers
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Relying upon The Stars accuracy, here
is a good one for some political COM
mentator:
'"These 48 States are the United States.
The spirit and the heart of the Consti-
tuition is the declaration of intention to
form the most perfect union. Prom
address of Secretary Wallace to edu-
Gators, The Star, November 20, 1885,
page B-1, column 8, paragraph 3.
The preamble to the Constitution OF
the United States begins: I'VE, the peo-
pie of the United States, in order to
form more perfect Union"
The Articles of Confederation had not
formed an effective union. The purpose
of the Constitutional Convention was to
work out something better.
Being wise men, they had no expec-
tation of achieving perfection; of reach
ing more than perfection; OF discovery OF
a form of government most perfect.
Many people talk about the Constitu-
tion, but few know very much about it"
1t appears that even those present were
not even sufficiently familiar with the
beginning of its preamble to challenge
the Secretary's misleading quotation.

and one or two calves are usually met
with. These groups merge into a loose
herd of from 10 to so or more individuals
living in a certain stretch of river, con-
centrating during the day and scatter
ing at night. They generally Craze at
night, although few individuals may
be seen feeding in broad daylight. The
body is held nearly vertical while graz
ing. The head is held well out of water,
while the armlike flippers poke the grass
toward the mouth. The noise made by
the Tapping of the huge upper lip and
the crunching of the large teeth can be
heard distinctly 200 yards or more away.
The sound is much like that of horses
grazing in pasture. Adult manatees
appear to average somewhere between
and 10 feet in length. Some-old fe-
males, presumably-may reach II feet"
A much more seclusive animal, Mr..
Barrett reports, is the true mermaid"
of legend-the dugong of the Indian
Ocean. Unlike the manatee, it is a
creature of the sea and seldom ventures
into the fresh-water rivers and lagoons.
Few naturalists ever have actually seen
one Of the creatures.
Mr.. Barrett's first acquaintance with
the creature came in Mozambique, Portu-
guese East Africa, when some native
fishermen caught in their net what they
described as white porpoise" They
were terrified and gladly presented their
catch to an Italian blacksmith. This
man crudely embalmed the animal,
placed it in a crude coffin and freighted
it to Johannesburg, where he rented a
show room and made fortune exhibit
ing "the only genuine mermaid-half
fish, half human"
The dugongs. Mr.. Barrett believes,
have been driven to take refuge in the
sea by the crocodiles which infest
African rivers. What they eat is mys-
terry. The nearby oceans are compare
lively free of seaweed. The naturalist
noted, however, large slabs of peculiar,
dark-red vegetation floating on the sur
face of the sea. These, supposedly. fur
nish about the only food of the "mer-
maids"

Volcanic Activity.

Volcanic disturbances are reported
from two almost antipodal points,
Vesuvius in Italy and Mauna Loa in
Hawaii. This does not necessarily mean
that other eruptions will occur else
where, for the activity at these two
may be due to strictly local conditions
and not to general internal convulsion
that might find issue at any one of the
numerous vents in the crust OF the
earth. However, ordinarily nearly all of
the most frequently active volcanoes re-
spond to these inner forces at about the
same time. Their differences in time
and degree Of action are due to local
conditions, the state of the vent, the
character of the material that plugs the
chimney and so checks the force of the
eruption. Investigation Of the inner
condition of volcanoes has not been
carried far. Indeed the utmost man can
do in this matter is to observe the phe-
nomena, analyze the materials voided,
time the periodicity of activity and meas
ure its force and thus form theory
Of frequency.
At latest accounts from Hilo the erup-
tion at Mauna Loa promises to develop
into o major manifestation. An enor-
nous flow of lava is reported moving
toward the city, which has often been
menaced. The latest serious threat oc-

the law under the terms of the act. It
now appears, however, that the Govern
ment has reached the conclusion that 1t
Is the better and wiser part to seek a test
of the constitutionality Of the act in civil
suits. The Attorney General has in
structed the United States attorneys
throughout the country, therefore, not
to institute criminal proceedings. The
Securities and Exchange Commission,
however, is making every effort to induce
the holding companies to register prior
to December /. 1t asserts that regis
tration does not in any way waive the
rights of any company to attack the
holding company law in the courts.
The holding companies, however, have
been reluctant to register by December
1, or at any time. until the constitution
ality of the act is settled. They feel that
once they have complied with the law
recurring registration they will then be
subjected to Government control as pro-
vided in the act. That is something they
wish to resist on the ground that the
control sought is unconstitutional. One
Of the provisions of the law is that
interstate use of the mails by any holding
company that fails to register by Decem-
ber 1 is illegal. Incidentally both the
Attorney General and the Securities
Commission point this out in their
statements.
The holding company act was bitterly
assailed in the House and the Senate.
1t is, however, in line with the admins
trations determination to place the
Government in greater control over the
power interests in this country. The
holding company act has been regarded
as one of the pet measures of the Presi-
dent. Early court determination Of the
constitutionality Of the act is desirable.
Already the Coleman decision in case
involving the act has been appealed to
the United States Circuit Court. The
next step would take it to the Supreme
Court. The seeming determination of the
holding companies not to register prior
to December /, or thereafter until the
courts have passed on the act, has forced
the Governments hand, in measure.
Either it must carry the matter to the
Supreme Court without cracking down
on all the companies and without bring
ing criminal suits, or it must seek to
place the full strength of the Govern
ment back of an immediate and rigid
enforcement.
