PARIS. August 81 - Authoritative
sources said this evening that a
British plan for the moral indictment
of Italy in case of aggression in
Ethiopia had been presented to
Premier Pierre Laval.
The plan was described as a substi-
tute for sanctions - international
penalties to be applied against treaty
breakers.
French officials said that Ambas-
sador Clerk of Great Britain, in an
interview with Laval, said England
would refuse to regard armed Italian
intervention in Ethiopia as "a Colonial
campaign" or as anything else ex-
cept war.
Ambassador Cerutti of Italy pre-
viousIy had informed the French
premier that Italy would appear at
Geneva September 4 to plead her case
against Ethiopia before the League OF
Nations Council
1t was understood that the British
Ambassador referred to the moral
censure against Germanys rearma-
ment which was delivered last Spring
at Geneva by Italy. France and Great
Britain as a model for use against
Premier MuSSolini.
Such an action would morally indict
a treaty breaker in the eyes of the
world without risking political and
financial sanctions.
Ambassador CLERK indicated that
Great Britain sol hopes the Italians
will aske plan for the peaceful
penetra on 81 Ethiopia which Rfltsso-
/ -linfs at the tri-pewer confer
ence here 10 days ago.

BY DON S. WARREN.

John Locher head of the Central

eral manager of Woodward & Lo-
throp's. a past president Of the Board
of Trade; J. Thilman Hendrick, Daniel

The Commissioners have not been
informed whether any OF these would
accept appointment, but they have
hopes of Drafting one with a record
of success in the local business field.
Locher's selection appears rather
certain. The Commissioners will with
hold final decision and announce
ment of appointments until President
Roosevelt has signed the District un-
employment insurance law. Earlier
today there were reports the Com
missioners were giving favorable con-
sideration to Mr.. Saul, but afterward
it was said there was doubt If he
would take the post if offered.
Under the District unemployment
insurance law the board will consist
of the three Commissioners and one
representative each of workers and
their employees.
Locher and Saul were among q
group called to the District Building
today by the Commissioners for con-
ference on how to start the task OF
preparing the administration of un-
employment insurance.
While collection of employers con-
tributions for unemployment insur-
ance Is not to start until January, the

leaders. Daniel w. Bell, acting budget

From Capitol Hill, the President
invited Senators Robinson of Arkansas,
majority leader; Byrnes of South
Carolina, Speaker Byrns of the House
and Chairman Buchanan Of the
House Appropriation Committee.
Prior to the meeting, arranged for
$50 o'clock, officials were entirely
at loss as TO what might be done.
The single ray of hope for obtain
ing any appreciable sum lay in the

that this avenue is blocked, and, in
view of his unvarying requirement
that appropriations must be definitely
provided for, this is not surprising
Security Grants Unlikely.
AS the conference was announced,
the Social Security Board was said in
an authoritative quarter to have given
up its plans to grant aid to States
this year for old-age pensions and
other parts Of the social security pro-
gram.
There were reports also that the
President, irked by the failure of the,
appropriation bill because OF the fill
buster of Senator Long, Democrat, of
Louisiana, was contemplating three
radio speeches, starting tomorrow. in
which the defeat of the legislation
and the results would be discussed.
The outlook for the items covered
in the deficiency bill today stood about
as follows:
Social security. S76,000,00 ques-
tionable. but probably will wait
The District appropriation of S125,-
600 for social security was certain to
wait.
Retirement Fund Out.
Other items certain to wait we're:
Railroad retirement, 100000.
Guffey coal bill, S2CO,000

thought doubtful.
There was also a chance for going
ahead with a sea food investigation
under the Pure Food Administration,
which was to cost 100000. but this
was put in the doubtful class.
Expansion to Be Modified.
There were several appropriations
for expanding activities of certain
agencies, and these, it was believed,
could be carried on in modified form
for the time being.
These included the Federal Power

which read:
Your note of August IS contains

jected Immediately" by the Soviet gov

COTTON SUBSIDY
2-CENT LIMIT SET
A. A. A. Statement Says
Loans to Enable Hold
ing of Crop.
BY the Associated Press.

The A. A. A. announced today that
subsidies to be paid cotton formers
under the new loan and payment plan
would be limited to 2 cents a pound.
The Government agreed yesterday
to lend 10 cents a pound on cotton
produced this year under the control
program and to guarantee producers
a total return Of IL cents a pound.
This was a compromise with South
ern Senators, who wanted a 12-cent
loan.
Chester c. Davis, the farm admin
istrator. explained today that adjust
ment payments" to farmers under the
plan will be limited to 2 cents.
Clarifies Situation.
Previously it was said in informed
quarters that this might mean a farm
er could sell his cotton for 9 cents
and receive a 3-cent subsidy, or he
might sell his cotton for cents and
receive Scent subsidy.
An A. A. A. statement said:
This explanation was made to
clarity any erroneous impression that
might have been drawn from the an
nouncement of the new policy yes
terday and in response to inquiries
as to whether the producers would re-
ceive the difference between the Gver-
age price and IL cents in the event
the average price declined below the
10-cent level.
Expect to Hold Crop.
THE Governments commitment to
pay producers the difference between
the average price and IL cents is lin
tied to 2 cents per pound, and If it
should develop that prices drop be-
low 10 cents-a highly improbable
neutrality-suspicious. would be ex-
pected to put their cotton in the loan
and wait for prices to recover"
In other words, should the price &c
below 10 cents, farmers would be ex-
pected to apply for the 1O-cent-a-
pound loan offered by the Govern
ment and hold their cotton until the
market quotations reached that level
Further announcements were pre-
dicted as fast as additional details
are worked out by the Farm Admins
tration.
