Others expressed the view that
Soviet diplomats would avert a break
through their explanation of activi-

any connection it may or may not

An alternative to definite break

Attitude of InternationaIe
Declared to Have Prompted
Rebuke to Russia.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The statement of Comrade George
Dimitroff, a member of the praesidium
of the Third Internationale. at the
general meeting in Moscow, that 'the
communist party should support elec-
ton of President Roosevelt because
his defeat might enable forces now
opposing our forces to give us body
blow" is considered in well-informed
quarters as the principal reason for
the sharp note of rebuke sent by the
State Department to the Soviet
government yesterday.
Comrade Dimitroff, keynoter of the
meeting of the Third Internationale,
which ended only last week, spoke
while Josef Stain, head of the Soviet
government, was seated on the stage.
In fact, Dimitroff was assigned seat
next to the dictator, and the proceed
ings took place under his benevolent
eye.
State Department Holds Evidence.
The State Department possesses all
documentary evidence proving that
from the first month after the recog-
milton Of the Soviet Republic by the
United States that the Moscow gov
ernment has not lived up to either
the spirit nor the letter of its solemn
pledge not to indulge in Communist
propaganda in America.
1t is true that the Third Interna-
tionale has officially nothing in COM
mon with the Soviet government and
this excuse has been brought forth
by the Moscow regime every time 1t
broke its promises with other coun-
tries and was accused Of illicit
propaganda.

smouldering question of colonial pos
sessions among the great powers as
sumed the menacing proportions Of a
rumbling Mount Vesuvius today.
Fear that MuSsolini's African sortie
might blow the volcanic lid off was
accentuated by II Duce himself. The
London Daily Mail quoted him as say
ing in an interview: The time has,
perhaps, come to raise the question
of colonies in all its implications. II
would be to the benefit of all civilized
states. especially those unjustly de-
prived Of their share in the extraction

possibility Of misunderstanding that

tility of our country"

If sanctions are voted against Italy
at Geneva, Mussolini warned, Italy
will at once leave the League of Ma
tions. the newspaper said.
Asked for his advice to other
European nations for the best method
of sustaining general peace, the news

piled that other nations should fol-

last week to have decided TO support

move as an attempt to preserve peace

one by Lady Simon, denouncing the
barbaric. slave-owning habits of the
Ethiopians. And when the Council
has considered this evidence I shall
challenge the League to treat Italy
as being on the same footing as
Ethiopia, if it can"
In reply to direct question whether
there is the slightest possibility of his
changing his attitude, MuSSolini re-
piled: None at all-unless Ethiopia
gives in" the newspaper said.
