POLICY
American Neutrality
RidicuIed; British
Influence Charged

ROME, Oct. 9 GNSO-The
government-conLrolled Italia r
press today bitterly attacked the
policy Of the United States re
garding the ItaloEthiopian war
suggesting it has been influenced
by Great Britain
For weeks the Italian press has
been attacking the stand of Great
Britain on the East African crisis,
but until now has largely re
f. Lined frolh commenting upon
the position of the United States.
Regarding the Monday state
ment Of Secretary Of State Cordell
Hull, in which he said President
Roosevelt made his neutrality
proclamation entirely on his own
initiative, the newspaper Tribuna
commented ironically that he was
"excusing himself for something
he has not done"
Cites Talks to British
The paper cast ridicule on the
statement that the United States
was acting solely on its own initia-
tive, implying there was Signifi'
canoe in the visits of Ray Ather-
ton, counselor of the American
Embassy in London, to Sir Samuel
Hoare, Foreign Minister, and the
visits of Sir Ronald Lindsay,
British Ambassador, to the Depart
ment State in Washington.
The paper pointed to reports
Of Great Britain's claim she had
the assent Of the United States
to a policy of sanctions. The neu-
trality law, said Tribuna, should
prevent the United States first
from participating in League Of
Nations policy, and secondly from
taking part in q concrete manner
IN what appears to be more and
more an exclusively British mas
terry over the Mediterranean"
Geneva Blinded"
The paper declared:
Both things, before interest
ing Italy, should interest the
conscience and autonomy and
dignity Of the United States
Governments policy"
The newspaper Lavoro FaSciSta
said that while the United States,
with its own resources, can well
be cut off from trade with Italy,
many European nations would see
immediate capSizing of their COM
mercial balances, Saturation of
their internal markets, and n
rapid increase in unemployment
if such a break were made. The
paper said:
The gentlemen At Geneva
are blinded by their anti-Italian
fury. 1t will not take long to
see that the arm of sanctions
can hurt far more those who
use 1t than those due to suffer
from its effects"

NEW YORK, Oct. 8 dN.s).
Sanctions or no sanctions, the

Italy, to use the canal, to
send her troop ships, her supply

BRITAIN CALLS
PARLIAMENT
IN CRISIS
Cabinet Sets Meeting
For Oct. y, a Week
Earlier Than Usual

LONDON, Oct. 9 Q.N.SJ
Recognizing the gravity of the
Italo- Ethiopian war crisis, the Brit
|ish cabinet at full session today de-
cided to summon parliament on
October %, a week earlier than
usual, should events at Geneva
necessitate such action.
The cabinet met for more than
two hours in a study of the war
situation, one of its main tasks
being to approve a line Of action
to be taken by Britain at the
League Of Nations Assembly meet
ing in Geneva this afternoon.
Labor Asks Action
The cabinet decided to prepare
parliament for an early opening
after considering a proposal from
Major Clement Attlee, new head
Of the labor party, urging parlia-
.ment be hastily reSummoned to
debate the crisis.
Possibility of Britain's raising
the arms embargo against Ethi-
opia, now that Italy formally has
been declared the aggressor by the
League Council, presumably was
discussed also.
Recognition of growing anti
italian feeling throughout Britain
faced the Cabinet.
Crowd Watches Cabinet
Orders for a vigorous British
stand in favor of prompt eco
nomic and financial measures
against Italy will be telephoned
to Capt. Anthony Eden in time
for his keynote address" before
the League Assembly.
Immediate opening of the doors
Of Britain's great munitions fac
tories to Ethiopian buyers, and
general parliamentary election to
confirm what public opinion al
confirm Britain's action with the
League were also on the Cabinets
program.
London tenSely watched devel-
opmentS, and a large crowd was
on hand in Downing Street to
see the anxious-faced ministers
file into No. 10.
Meanwhile, the Royal Navy Re
serve is already modified, and
the Royal Air Force has notified
all reserve officers to be ready for
service on "A hours call.
Aircraft factories throughout
the country are working night and
day making military planes, while
contracts for commercial craft
have temporarily been shelved.
Feeling against Italy reached its
most concrete expression at a
mass meeting Of London walters,
whence letter was dispatched to
the ministry of labor urging the
expulsion of all Italian walters
from the country.
Rioting in Cafes
Anti.Italian incidents increased,
particularly in Italian cafes, where
riotious scenes we're frequent.
In Shoe Lane in the heart Of
London's newspaper row, boo
ing crowd plastered the windows
of an italian cafe with bills an
nouncing a reported Ethiopian
counter-attack on Aduwa.
Missiles were hurled inside the
cafe, and customers were hiSSed.
British crowds in moving picture
houses, abandoning their usual
taciturnity. booed and hiSSed
films showing Italian troops.

Fiscal Folly

Threatened with increased along many lines the Dis

Under the present systen the budget starts ssagger-

At any stage these proceedings the budget apt to be
kicked out of original shape and conformation that
would alter all plans of its original sponsors
Despite this the original sponsors never get the cnance to
budget figures to bring them into line with the
original recommendations.
This FISCAL FOLLY has the inevitable result of leaving
Washngtonians completely at far as knowing what
burden will be when the budget finally becomes an
appropriation law. -,
It means that any point in the wanderlngs OF the
budget items be inserted removed without any con-
sderaon being given to the effect which the nserton OF
removal will have the budget as a whole
Likewise Washngonans faced with the fact that even
after the budget completed and the appropriation bill
passed laws and often passed by Congress winch
call for heavy appropriations
For some time the LACK OF WISDOM in the present
budgeting system has been apparent.
It has however impossible induce Congress to eimi
