POWERS WEIGH BID
TO NAVAL PAR[EY
U. S. Accepts Promptly, but
France and Japan
Delay Replies.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, October 25-Great Brit
ain awaited replies today to its invi-
tation for naval conference of the
world powers. still weighing the call
of Prime Minister Baldwin for re-
armament.
The call for the conference was
mandatory under the expiring 1922
Washington naval limitation treaty.
The United States promptly signi-
fled its acceptance, but Japan, France
and Italy were yet to advise his maj
esty's government they will be on hand
for the conversations December 2.
France to Participate.
French officials announced in Paris
they would have representatives pres
ent. Naval Minister Francois Pietri
was expected to back up the British
in trying to achieve qualitative in
stead of tonnage restriction of fleets.
"a high government spokesman in
Toxic said Japan's reply to the invi-
tation would be made ''as soon as pos
sible," adding that there is no reason
We should decline.D
Baldwin's campaign for the Novem-
ber IA elections is based initially on
a demand for comprehensive rearma-
ment. Winston Churchill has called
for a larger fleet Ito secure lasting
command of the Mediterranean" and
to safeguard the North Sea.
Churchill Slated for Post.
It has been reported Churchill will
succeed Sir Bolton -Monsell as
first lord of the admiralty if a new
National government is elected.
Eyres- -Monsell announced the pur-
pose of the conference would be to
obtain an agreement replacing treaties
expiring in l936-the washington
and London building holiday and
naval limitation pacts.
Talk in Parliament has indicated
the British government hopes the
conference will occasion ship-building
programs during the next 7 to 10
wears which would be satisfactory to
all concerned, rather than a scaling
down of present navies.

Adds ABABA, October 25-Ethi-
opia's former minister of war, Fitaou-
rari Birru, who was once eXiled and
then pardoned by Emperor Halle
SelaSsie, rode triumphantly into the
capital today at the head of an army.
Riding with dash and abandon, the
1000 shrieking Kaffa tribal warriors
rushed in review past the King of
Kings. who stood admiringly on
balcony of his palace, apparently
more confident in the strength of his
armies than at any time since the
war with Italy began.
Emperor Halle Selassie also re-
viewed 10000 Gulla swordsmen under
Dedjazmatch Aptemariam Gabreg-
Zlaher.
Beg for Modern Rifles.
"Oh, Emperor. give us modern rifles
so that we may slaughter our enc
mics" shouted the warriors, throwing
down their old fiint-locks and blum
derbusses.
Other warriors performed grim
African war dances.
The medieval cavalcade occupied
five hours, after which the feudal
chiefs were received by the Emperor
who kissed them on both cheeks.
Halle SelaSSie's courtiers shielded the
imperial kisses behind white shawls
so that the crowds might not witness
them.
Dedjazmatch Makonnen Demise,
governor of Wallego, will arrive in the
capital next Tuesday en- route to the
front with 10000 men. to be followed
by Dedjazmatch Makonnen Abonessi,
governor of Gore Province, with 50,-
900 followers, and Dedjazmatch Raye,
governor of Shoa -Ghimirra, with TO-
900.
Italian Envoy to Leave.
The Italian Minister Count Luigi
Vinci-Gigliucci, who has defied a gov
eminent order to leave and who has
insisted on remaining here until the
last Italian official has been accounted
for, prepared to leave tomorrow with
two consular agents from Mogallo, the
last to arrive from the interior.
Government officials asserted that
despite reports of European peace
moves Italy had failed to give any
assurance of withholding its drive.
An impression prevailed that if pro-
posals for preliminary peace negotia-
tlons were made by a friendly power
they might serve as a basis for dis
cuSsion.

Italian planes attacked Gabradarre
today, dropping more than 200 bombs
and wounding seven Ethiopians.

PARIS. october 25.-Premier Mus
solini, anxious to avoid application Of
sanctions against italy for its war
fare in Ethiopia, was reported today
to have made three notable con-
cessions toward peace negotiations.
The commentator. Genevieve Ia
bouis, writing in liberal newspaper
L'Oeuvre, said he had learned from
Rome:
/. II Duce would not consider that
withdrawal of some of his troops
from Libya required as a counter
part removal of some of the British
warshpS from the Mediterranean.
2. He would undertake to suspend
actual military operations and dis
continue sending troops to Africa
until Great Britain replies to his
suggestions.
3. II Britain finds these suggestions
an acceptable basis for negotiations
II Duce would be willing that they
be turned over to the League Of
Nations.
Britain and SelasSie Cool.
Suggestions along these lines had
been reported previously. 1t was con-
sidered doubtful that they would prove
acceptable either to Britain or to
Emperor Halle Selassie.
Premier Pierre Laval persisted
patiently in his own search for a way
to end the warfare in East Africa
acceptable both to Ethiopia and to
the League.
Italy's withdrawal of one division
of troops from its North African
possession of Libya was described by
Laval as the first step toward con-

Diplomatic Moves Loom.
French officials said Mussolini had

Mussolini's suggestions. undisclosed

That the negotiations necessarily
would be protracted seemed certain.

ROOSEVELT URGES
GIFTS TO CHARITY
Increased Donations Asked
in Nationwide Appeal
for Human Needs.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
With a declaration that private IN
dustry is now taking up the slack"
of unemployment, but that the Nation,
nevertheless, should increase its dona-
tions to charity, President Roosevelt
asked support for a private welfare
drive that is in progress throughout
the country today.
In an optimistic address delivered
by radio last night on the opening
program of the 1885 Mobilization for
Human Needs, the President stressed
reports of increased employment.
He referred to a September employ
ment gain of 350,000 workers in pri-
vate industries which report to the
Labor Department. This, he said,
brought those industries to the level
Of November. 1880, and their pay rolls
back to the level of May. 1881. He
added that even the durable goods"
industries, long backward" are now
putting theiS best foot forward"
Recently" he said, II expressed the
hope that private industry would
strain every nerve to increase their
pay rolls, increase the number OF
those whom they employed, and thus
take from the Federal Government
and their local governments great
share of the burden Of relief.
THE figures which have cited
lead me to a greater confidence that
private industry is living up to my
hope. We seem to be taking up the
slack"
Depression Held Receding.
The Nation, he said, is rapidly
emerging" from the years of deep
depression"
He linked these statements with his
appeal for generous giving in con-
nection with the mobilization move
ment, sponsor of Community Chest
drives in $50 cities.
why, you may ask, If the distress
and the unemployment are less,
should the giving be greater" he said.
The answer is twofold: First of ALL
1t is, know, your hope and mine
that the necessities of Government
relief furnished by funds received by
taxation should decrease as rapidly as
human needs will allow.
But the other reason is of deeper
significance, greater Importance.
There are, as you and know, hum
edreds of thousands of men, women
and children who require the kind of
assistance that private charity and
not Government should give.
There still remains, and will long
remain, a sadly distressed segment of
our population. destitute and unpro-
vided for, in the communities of the
United States"
Welfare Work Stressed.
He spoke Of the poor who need
medical care, undernourished children,
of the needs of private hospitals and
homes for the aged. blind and incur
able. These, and other welfare
agencies. he said, must and should
expand their splendid work"

LOS ANGELES, October 25.-Leav-
ing the Malibu Beach film colony ap-
parently safely behind, a roaring
brush fire. today threatened to rage
on down the coastline into a heavily
wooded mountainous strip which for
20 years has been regarded as the
most dangerous fire menace in South
ern California.
GraveSt concern was felt as the fire,
sweeping southwark a mile or so off
the Coast highway, went out Of con-

route thick with trees. matted under

Wind Danger Remains.
Heroic efforts by $50 workers tenn
porarily stopped the southwark rush
but the danger remained that wind
would whip it out of control again, OF
send it in another direction around
the Malibu Reservoir. From there il
could turn toward the south again.
Members of the exclusive Malibu
Beach colony breathed more easily
as the blaze changed direction.
Five hundred nearly exhausted
fighters started a back-fire, herded il
back to meet the ol-rolling wall OF
flames, and with a spectacular clash
of fire that leaped high in the air
against billowing background OF
smoke, the menace to the Malibu
colony was ended, at least temporarily
A tricky wind had kicked the mil
ion-dollar blaze back and forth for
"a hours.
Early yesterday a back-fire proved
unsuccessful. A high wind jumped
the brush flames over the area burned
by the back-fire.
Borne on swirling gusts of wind, the
flames ragged up Escondido and Latigo
Canyons last night toward the fork
of Malibu Vista Junction, fashionable
mountain resort, then the wind
switched around and the blaze started
back.
