Comments on Morale.
The maneuvers which have been
going on for the last week on the
Austrian border, he said, demonstrated
the morale of the army and had
shown that "If tomorrow the country
requires you to perform duties neces-

cerning the future legal status Of the
conceded territory.
Although international codes pro-
vide generally for continued validity
of concessions despite a change in
regime, Italy, it was explained, might
easily protest the concessions once she
had entered Ethiopia, because it is
thought here they may have been
made as q last minute effort to keep
Italy from what she considers her
rightful penetration of the East Afri-
can kingdom.
On the other hand, it was said. Italy
may easily take the view that British
and American companies will furnish
welcome elements in territory which
she feels it her responsibility to civilize
and develop In all Its possibilities and
resources.

RICKETT, PROMOTER,
IS MYSTERY MAN

He Is Man of Big Ideas"
Says British Friend.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. August 31.-Francis M.
Rickett, who is known in the Near
East as the Lawrence of Finance, :"
has long been a mystery man behind
negotiations in that part Of the world,
London business circles said today.
He was once director of a British
oil development company which was
granted concessions along the Tigris
by Emir Feisal of Iraq. His name did
not appear in the directory of that
company, however, or of the COM
pany by which it was later absorbed.
In addition to a London home,
Rickett has a country place at Great
Shefford, Berkshire. Only servants
are there now. He is master Of
hounds Of the famous Craven Hunt in
Berkshire and also owns a castle in
Wales.
He was described by one of his
friends as "a man of tremendously
big ideas who has carried out nego-
tiations for big undertakings in many
parts Of Europe and the Near East"
"Rickett is always dashing OF here
and there and it Is nothing for him to
charter a special airplane to go on
business abroad" the informant said.

Near Malta.

LONDON, August 31.-British air.
craft factories plunged into 24-hour
= schedule to speed up production OF
fighting planes today in the wake OF
reports from Rome that Italy was con-
centrating air forces and submarines
in Sicily, directly opposite the vital
British naval base of Malta.
The air minister sounded an urgent
call for more pilots to operate the
1000 new machines. It was announced
that f1ve new training camps will be
established within six months.
Sir Philip Sassoon, undersecretary
for air, arranged to leave for a tour of
factories throughout Britain to super
wise the developments.
As another move in the tightening
of all branches of defense-with the
Mediterranean fleet already steaming
toward the Suez Canal-the British
admiralty ordered the home feet to
start its maneuvers q week ahead Of
schedule.
Ships Of the home fleet concen-
trated at Portland before setting out
for the maneuver area, of Northeast
ern Scotland.
With a critical session of the
League Of Nations Council only four
days away, Anthony Eden, Minister
for League affairs, bore the brunt
OF the swift-moving developments.
Sir Samuel Hoare, foreign secretary,
was stricken with arthritis and con-
fined to his Norfolk home.
Baldwin May Summon Cabinet.
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin,
returning from a vacation in France,
September 4-the day of the League
Council session-was expected to
summon cabinet meeting, ready to
deal with any decision arising at
Geneva.
A grave warning from the foreign

enlist on either side in the event of
an Italo- Ethiopian War, was head
lined in the nations press.

WATERFOWL, s. OAK, August 81
R-Patrick J. Hurley. Secretary Of
War in the Hoover cabinet, declared
in an address before the South Dakota
State Bar Association yesterday that
government by executive legislation"
Is leading America toward despotism.
Asserting that executive legislation
Is not q unique experience, but sis
in fact merely retracing an old and
definite pattern" he compared "the
present Executive orders" with mon
archical proclamations of the past.
The issue taking definite form in the
United States today. he said, Is "the

tralized Government versus the Old
World system Of centralized control" !"

land has been vitality concerned be-
cause from Tana flows the Blue
Nile. which unites, 1000 miles to
the north, with the White Nile in
Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, to form the
Greater Nile.
In the short distance of 80 miles,
too, the Blue Nile drops 1000 feet
over precipices and through gorges
admirably suited for erection of vast
power plants and dams. Construc-
ton Of dam, too, close to the lake's
outlet would control the upper reaches
Of the Nile, where the greatest flow
comes at a time when least needed
nearer the sea, the Geographic Society
says.

Italy occupied Ethiopia, It would not
attempt to challenge American and
British rights in concess' area.
Proposals made to the Emperor re-
garding Lake Tana involve construc-
ton Of q gigantic dam and pumping
stations, increasing the output from
the lake to the Nile and not only
assuring an adequate water supply In
perpetuity for the Sudan and Egypt,
but also enabling cultivation Of thou
sands Of now sterile acres.
This correspondent was informed
that the government, which studied
the proposals carefully, considered
this the most satisfactory possible
solution Of the Lake Tana problem
which has long been an international
bone of contention.
Surveys by U. S. Firm.
The first step of the new company,
if this concession was granted, would
be to confirm surveys made by the
j. G. White Co. of New York, financed
by the Egyptian government at a cost
Of $500, 900 and completed only last
June.
Rickett said he would be glad to
confer with White concerning that
company's participation in the enter
prise, and the Emperor also was be-
lieved to be anxious that White par
ticipate.
Rickett insisted that development of
the oil fields would proceed, war or
no war"
AS he boarded a special airplane
for Cairo yesterday, Rickett said:
II should like to say to Mussolini,
who Is an old friend, that there Is
plenty Of room for Italy to partici-
pate in the exploitation of such
hospitable land as Ethiopia without
resorting to war"
Rickett said he had had relations
with Italy In connection with the
marketing Of Mesopotsmian oil.
Rickett defined the exploitation
area as extending from the frontier
Of Italy's colony Of Eritrea in the
North, along the fortieth longitude
to the Hawash River, where it Is
crossed by the Adds Ababa| d Djibouti
railway over q deep gorge forming a
natural boundary and thence In q
straight line southwest to Lake Ru-
dolph, where 1t meets the Kenya
frontier.

ment in the Italo-E Ethiopian crisis the
granting by Ethiopia Of vast conces-
sions to American and British con-
Germs.
They said they were uncertain
what the effect would be until they
could get authoritative English and
Italian reaction.
Unoficially the opinion was ex-
pressed that the concessions, If partly
to English houses, would give the Ital-
ians an opportunity to say that the
British stand on principles had merely
masked business aspirations.
1t might be considered also, these
unofhcial sources indicated, as q vio-
lation Of the treaty Of 1906, which
provides for consultation between
England, France and Italy over mat
tiers affecting Ethiopia.
If the concessions are largely Amer
ican, these unoficial sources agreed
that Mussolini would be likely to get
an empty shell should he take over
Ethiopia and that he might decide it
was not worth fighting for.
Minfmixed In London.
LONDON, August 81 R-British
officials today treated with reserve re-
ports that Ethiopia had granted vast
concessions to British and American
concerns, but said that the last thing
the British government would want
to do under the present circumstance
would be to give any support of any
nature to an enterprise Of the char
acter reported.
Government departments, In the ab-
sence Of official reports, showed every
inclination to minimize the impor-
tance of the concessions. Oficials
pointed out that the British govern
ment had given no official or unofi-
cial backing to any concession In
Ethiopia.
They recalled that even on the sub
ject Of Lake Tana, source Of irriga-
ton water for the Anglo-Egyptian
Sudan, Sir Samuel Hoare, foreign min
lister, had stated In the House of Com
mons July Q that the British govern |
ment favored postponement Of any
agreement regarding its development |
because it wanted to take no steps |
which might aggravate the Italo-
Ethiopian controversy.
