Italy recalled that she always op-
posed such a possibility and refused
an Ethiopian proposal for exchange Of

No Opinion Expressed.
The Leagues conciliation group
said: THE committee expressed nc
opinion on the documents furnished
by the two parties.
"As an organ Of conciliation the
committee was not called on to de-
liver judgment. but to consider the
situation and seek and devise means
Of remedying it."
The Council is expected to decide
tomorrow whether new attempts at
conciliation are feasible. All events
and all thoughts are moving toward
the idea that the Council must be
ready to draft definite reccommenda-
tions for settlement.

The Council theoretically could ac-

would be only too glad to postpone ef-

with British and French approval,
would adjourn for a week after ap-

In q flight Of about two hours King
reported a new altitude mark Of 49,
900 feet for light seaplanes, smashing
the old record of 1855 feet set by q
French pilot in 1880.
Kings record will not be ofIicial,
however. until the barograph Is
checked and the results are reported
to the National Aeronautical Asso-
citation.

The flight also would establish a
national record for seaplanes of the
fourth category-single-seaters weigh
ing less than $50 pounds-since no
previous official record was listed. Last
June King set a new distance record
for two-seater light seaplanes. 1854

An even greater height could have
been reached, he added, If he had
carried oxygen apparatus.
"At about 10000 feet I leaned for
ward to adjust a control and didn't
feel so good in the head, so I decided
I'd better come down." he said. I'm

Hundreds Of Letters Received.
Hundreds of letters dealing with VA
rious phases of the safety campaign
have been received by The Star Safety
Council. Excerpts from some Of these
letters follow:
Il have driven automobiles since
the year 1911 all over the United
States, from coast to coast and north
to south, and in most Of the largest
cities. including New York. Chicago,
Philadelphia, the Twin Cities, Seattle,
Portland and Los Angeles. I had
never been involved in a serious acci-
dent until I began driving in Wash
ington in 1929.
II have never encountered in all
the rest of the country such utter dis
regard for the elementary rules Of
safety. common sense and the rights
of others as exist in this city.
THE only solution, in my opinion,
is to put more traffic police on the
streets. increase penalties for VIOLA
tions, including suspension or revoca-
ton of permits and impounding of
cars. What the average car owner
fears worst is the loss Of his right to
drive or loss of the use of his car.
In spite of the current police drive,
dozens of cars pass me every day when
I am travelling at the maximum legal
speed, either % or 80 miles. many of
them apparently trying to break their
necks to get ahead

Heavens sake stop taxicabs from cruis-

AMERICAN LABOR AND COMMUNISM

One of the chief arguments Of communism for
the fright to social and political dictatorship 5
based on the claim that it is the cause of the pro
letariat-the laborng man-as against the capital
list, the intelhgentsia and the bourgeoise.
Which is also one of the reasons why it is ever
lastinglv unsuited to our American ideals and
standard of living as social and political system,
even allowing that it hes other excellencies
There is no possible line of demarcation between
these classes-of people, occupations and activities
in America; as more. than likely there will not
he even in Russia in another DECADE.
America is not country of the classes-proie-
tariat and bourgeose, capitalistc and laboring-in
snte of the fact which must be accepted that these
rather loose divisions of activities actually do
exist. . r..
They are classes but not castles; divisions which
do not seriously divide.
All of which makes especially significant certain
remarks made by President William Green, A. +.

eminent to withdraw recognition from the Soviet
Labor is more convinced than ever said PreS-
dent Green "that serious mistake was made when
recognition was extended to the Soviet government
The action of the Communist party which Is IN con-
troll of the Soviet government, justihes the belief
that it will never cease engaging in propaganda de-
signed to undermine democratic governments thru
the Third International"
That is the reaction of the best thought among
labor leaders.
And Communism has always made its chief ap-
peal to labor-Rock Hill IS. c. Herald.
