documents containing a mass OF
new evidence in an effort to
prove Ethiopia is unfit; for mem

been guilty of acts Of aggression
during the past 40 years.
As this report was received,
Iloyds, the betting brokers, were
active in speculation on the pos
sibility Of hostilities in or without
Europe.
Chances Of an Italo-Ethiopian
war within three months are
five to one.
No broker was willing to take
a risk on the war occurring.
How They're Betting
On the contrary, one broker
age house accepted a premium of
20 guineas per hundred in the
event Of there being no war on
behalf Of the firm which stands
to lose If there is no war.
Lloyds quoted five guineas per
hundred against war between
Russia and Japan within a year.
A similar quotation was issued
against war between the United
States and Japan, and 10 guineas
per hundred against a war be-
tween Germany and any nation.
While this was going on British
and continental socialists plan
ned measures which they will put
into operation in the event Of war
between Italy and Ethiopia, the
London Evening Standard re-

IN advance of the conference,

some way would be found to keep

likely the old established Govern

specifically directed to by some
one higher up.

BY SENATOR HUEY LONG
distributed by International News
service)
The high.handled move made
by Mr.. Roosevelt and his cohorts
to cut the throat Of the wheat and
cotton farmers goes beyond any
thing that has been done by any
tyrant or dictator in any foreign
land.
Every member Of the United
States Senate and Congress who
will take the credit for agreeing
to let the White House scalp the
wheat and cotton farmers from
the appropriation bill before he
would allow the Congress to vote
on it, ought to be run out of
public life.
Chance to Vote Denied
Actually, when the United States
Senate by a two-thirds vote de-
clared to save and help the wheat
and cotton farmers from financial
ruin by advancing 9 cents per
bushel on wheat and IL cents per
pound on cotton, Mr.. Roosevelt
and his crew refused to let the
congressman vote on the law;
then they sent us our bill back
under orders to strike out wheat
and cotton and they would let
the other House of Congress vote
on the law, but that they would
not let the other house vote at
all unless we struck out the farm
erS.
I wouldn't stand for the high
handed outrage. I would rather
die and go to hell than submit to
it. That's why I blocked their
move to have us yield to tyranny.
Strike up to Someone
Where is our Republic when
the President can say:
"Only on this kind of . bill
will / let the Congress vote.
They are not fit to vote on it
any other way"
If the other House of Congress
wanted to vote down our farmers
relief on wheat and cotton. I
would have had to submit, but
I would not have the Senate take
wheat and cotton out Of the bill
just because they could tie the
House up and not let it vote.
Unless somebody strikes for
America in these kind Of cases,
we are doomed.
