Geneva, May 20 Emperor Halle
Selassie Of Ethiopia got in the first
blow as the council of the League of
Nations assembled Monday to re-
view hiz nsenacing border quarrel
with Italy.
In a personal telegram to Geneva
the "king Of kings" appealed to the
league to halt Italy's huge program
of military preparations N north
east Africa and accused Rome of
evading international obligations.
The league received a petition
from $4,000 Negro residents of the
United States imploring action to
prevent "victimization of Ethiopia,
the last stronghold of Negro liber-
ty."
Halle Selassie accused Rome of
forcing his country through threats
to pay reparations and apologize
for offenses which she had not COM
mitted and also evading her inter-
national obligations.
What action the council would
take remained uncertain.

NOTED WASHINGTON WRITER
SAYS G. o. p. WILL MAKE
1T AN ISSUE

Washington, May 24-In his May
10 dispatch, Rodney butcher, noted
Washington correspondent for the
NEA service, predicts that the shell
wing of the Costigan-Wagner anti
lynching bill will be used effectively
by the Republican party to WOO the
Negro voter back into its ranks and
may conceivably result in the Dem
ocratic loss Of eight pivotal states
in the 1886 presidential election.
"a Northern senator high in the
Democratic councils" he writes,
remarked privately after the bur-
ial of the Costigan-Wagner anti
lynching bill by southern filibuster
that if the 1886 election were close,
the episode might cost the party
eight or ten important states.
"He referred to the fact well
known among politicians that the
Negro vote can exert a balance of
power in certain states - Missouri,
Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Mary
land are usually named - in close
contests.
"The best qualified guessers esti-
mate that the Negro vote went, IS
per cent for Roosevelt in 1882,
whereas perhaps 80 per cent in pro-
vious years had been cast for the
Republican ticket.
"Negoes are more concerned as
a group with lynching than with any
other issue. Democratic politicians
now anticipate Republican drive
to convince them that their worst
enemies control the Democratic
party.
"The southrn fiHbusterers, how
ever, were more worried about their
own jobs than about national COM
plications."
