and yet be great in the sight of
God. Popularity, 50 called. The
Jerusalem elite snub John. He be-
comes so unpopular that by and by
he is killed because of his straight
forwardness in denouncing sin in
high places John dispenses with
self-advertising. Modern American
would-be Messiahs might take note
of this. John declares: 81 am not
the Light of the World. What this
world needs is one who is greater
than I am-the Christ"
Note this also. John does not
deem it necessary to hobnob with
a crowd of eager climbers in order
that he may make a success of his
life. He dares to be an introvert.
He does not hunt in the pack. He
the rugged individual par excellence.
He can be great even if he must
stand and work alone. For John
plus God always make a majority.
Aid the supreme Judge of human
stuff rates such who may begin as
just John, and who continue as did
John the Baptist, as Number One
among all mankind. "Of those born
of women none is greater than
John" Without hesitating one mo-
ment, Christ puts Johns name in
Gods who's Who in the World"

He is conscious of a purpose in his

LEAGUE OPENS
DEBATE UPON
PEACE PLAN
Duce Refuses to Send
Delegate to 0eneva's
General Farley

GENEVA, Dec. 18 GN.SO.
With onlJ slight prospect Of acting
finally on the issue today, the
League of Nations council session
to debate the .oare-Laval Ethio-
plan peace proposals opened AZ
$50 p. m.
Ruiz Guinazu, president Of the
council, opened the session with a
tribute to DR.. Eduoard Benes, long
time foreign minister for Czecho-
slavakia, elected president of his
country today, and now slated to
end many years of notable service
in Geneva.
Delegates heard with dismay
Premier MuSsolini'S determination
to fight on in Ethiopia, and EN-
peror Halle Selassie sent word
that the Paris plan violated
treaties and the League covenant.
Authoritative League circles
predicted that italy would reject
the proposed gift Of half Of
Ethiopia.
Ethiopian Protest
The message from the Ethio-
plan Negus, brought by his ennis
sary to Paris, Gueta Wolde
Marian, Is understood to protest
that the Laval-Hoare plan Is in
compatible with agreements with
France that citizens of all coun-
tries would have equal rights in
Ethiopia. and that it violated
Ethiopian sovereignty. He did
not reject the plan, expecting the
council to do that for him.
There we're rumorS here that
Italy has already sent replies on
the Paris proposals to Paris and
London, but this could not be con-
firmed in the French and British
capitals.
AS council delegates assembled
this morning. Sparring for time
to watch developments in Rome
and London. italy launched a
thanking attack against Ethiopia
by delivering a note formally pro
testing the alleged use Of dunn
dunn bullets by the Ethiopians.
The note was signed Fulv,> Su.
vich. Italian underSecretary for
foreign affairs.

II Duce Scorns Proposals
For Peace, Will Fight On
By HUDSON HAWLEY

ROME, Dec. 10 G.N.S0.-In a
patriotic d e m nStration that
brought a barrage of golden bull
lets into the Treasury from all
over Italy, evidence echoes from
press and platform that the FaS-
ciSt grand council, meeting under
Benito Mussolini tonight. would
back up his resolution to carry on
the war in Ethiopia until every
inch is conquered.
Coincident with II Duce'S speech
at Pontinia, where he stressed
that italy could cope with League
Of Nations sanctions indefinitely,
and would fight to the finish,
his mouthpiece at Milan, Popolo
d'Italia, published this striking
prediction:
"This evening the grand
council will have something to
say to old Europe. old, dis
cOrdant, decadent Europe has
not the energy nor the author
ity nor the moral or historic
right to tame this people.
Italy, now resisting an i'm
perislistic siege, will not be
beaten.
Gan Italians feel at this
moment indignation and con.
demnation against old EGiOpe,
ungratefuI and detestable-
Against the imperialism that is
trying to deny a place in the
sun for our workers-against
the dark intrigueS that at pre-
sent are trying to influence
Italy's destiny"

PUNISHMENT

For Sympathy With
Former Dictator

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 10 G.NSD.
Another state governor lost his
job today because of Callista sym
pathies as a political drive spread
forward to throw Gen. Plutarco
Elias Gales out of Mexico again.
although he returned here from
California only last week.
Latest to join the ranks of
ousted governors was Gov Adolfo
Bonilla, of the State of Tlaxcala.
His state legislature disowned him,
accusing him of completely in an
alleged Gales plot for reinstate
ment of a strong arm" dictator
of Mexico.
This brought the total guberna-
torial eliminations to five, and Of
ficials here expected the list to
grow.
Call For Punishment
Senators and deputies, after
comforting with President Lazaro
Cardenas. renewed their campaign
for Gales Punishment. They
termed him a menace to the in
situations of the country.
Attacking his record, they called
upon him, as a good citizen" to
pack up and leave. Gales, how
ever, let it be known he had no
intention of running away.

H0ARE SPEECH
WILL DEFEND
PARIS PLAN
Cabinet Meets, Studies
Fate of Sir Samuel;
Debate Waited
BY H. X. REYNOLDS

LONDON, Dec. 10 G.N.SO In
an important two-hour meeting
held in a tense atmosphere on the
eve of tomorrow's foreign policy
debate in the House of Commons,
the British cabinet today debated
the domestic and international
crises and, repeatedly, the fate of
Foreign Secretary Sir Samuel
Hoare. linked with both.
Sir Samuel was absent from the
meeting. This was explained of.
ficially as due to the necessity of
his conserving his strength for the
arduouS task he will have in de-
Tending himself and his govern
ment before an irate Commons
tomorrow.
Absence Explained
Other sources, however, claimed
the absence was due to the fact
his future status was being dis
cussed.
Regarding the attitude the
government will take on oil sane
tions against Italy in case the
peace proposals giving half of
Ethiopia to Italy are junked, the
cabinet decided to tread water
until the League Of Nations has
been felt out" on the issue and
also to await the Commons de-
bate.
Reaction of Premier Mussolini's
stiff speech today, announcing
Italy will go on, was that II Duce
had spoken with the conviction
the attempt for collective action
against Italy had collapsed.
The Foreign Office denied
knowledge of a report Sir Eric
Drummond, British ambassador,
had been informed by the Italian
Foreign office the present peace
proposals were unacceptable to
Italy.
All developments confirmed the
belief that the Baldwin govern
ment will win a vote of conf
dence on its foreign policy in to,
morrow's debate. but the question
Of how many erstwhile govern,
ment votes will be registered
against him will depend on
Hoare's speech.
