Questions Would Arise.

NutstfUuS Vuutu HItsN
Immediately these questions would
arise:
l. Would the League fail in its at
tempt to bring the hostilities to a
swift end?
2. Would Italy withdraw from the
League?
3. If Italy dio withdraw. would the
Leagues prestige survive such blow?
4. How far would Great Britain go
in advocating sanctions to restrain
Italy?
5. How far would France and other
nations follow the British lead?
6. What would Britain do If France
failed to fall in step for action to pun
ish Italy?
T. Would Italy threaten British in
terests in the Mediterranean and
Africa in reply tc sanctions, and what
is Britain prepared to do, acting alone,
to protect those interests?
Possibility of Naval Fight.
s. Would the italian and the Brit
ish armadas. drawn up in dangerous
proximity in the Mediterranean, be
launched at each others throats by
an incident such as the sinking of the
Maine?
9. What effect would the sanctions
have on Italy?
10. What would Germany do in the
event of an Italo-British war?
Military circles in Rome asserted
that Italy's opening move in Ethiopia
would be to attack Aduwa-perhaps
without a declaration of war.
If Aduwa is captured, Mussolini
must decide whether to order his
250,000 troops massed in East Africa
onward to Adds Ababa or to withdraw
and draw up terms for peace.
Some military experts believed the
Roman legions. harassed by the COM
bined forces of nature and the guer-
rilla attacks of the wild Ethiopians,
would have a perilous time advancing
10 the plateau, but are bound to
triumph ultimately.
Two Nayies Stand Ready.
The British insist the movements in
the Mediterranean-previously describ-
ed as precautionary nothing
to do with the application Of sanctions.
But the British navy is on hand and
the French navy is nearby should the
League agree to resort to the stern
measures of military force TO restrain
Mussolini.
Few observers in London doubt the
final outcome of an Italo-British con-
fiict; British resources and finances
are reckoned as overwhelmingly pre-
ponderant.
France appears determined to avoid
war with Italy. Officials in Paris say
Laval will proceed with the utmost
caution to avoid antagonizing Mus
Solini at the expense Of the recently
cemented Franco-Italian friendship
and will also watch with a worried eye
Germanys intentions toward Austria.

RUTHLESS CHANGE
LAID TO OPRES|DENT
Roosevelt Accused by Head
of Anti.NeW Deal Forces
in South.
By the Associated Press.

Dy lIle hSSOCldICu EIcSS.
A leader Of forces organizing to
combat the New Deal in the South
accused President Roosevelt today of
trying to "ruthlessly change beyond
recognition the supreme law of the
land"
The assertion was made by John
Henry Kirby Of Houston. Tex, chair
man of the Southern Committee to
Uphold the Constitution. In a radio
address he urged his listeners to turn
from the poison gas of socialism now
affecting the country's leadership in
Washington"
1T was not enough that a sub
servient Congress abdicated its consti-
tutionsl powers by delegating to the
executive functions exclusively re-
served to the legislative branch, he
said. Even this apparently did not
satisfy the President, for in his press
conference following the historic Su-
preme Court decision outlawing the
N. r. A, Mr.. Roosevelt plainly i'm
piled that the Constitution, in his
ORAAAAOA, 10 dil0 ODcOiCISs
and that it is chaining us to horse
and buggy days. -
That is why there was organized
in my part of the country the South
ern Committee to Uphold the Consti-
tuition, and that is why men and
women down there below the Mason
Dixon line have rallied with heart
ening enthusiasm to a call to arms.
Those of us who are wholehearted-
ly American still cherish the ideals
and recognize the rights imbedded in
that instrument which put into force
the faith of the Declaration of In
dependence. We will not yield tamely
those measures of freedom and justice
and opportunity won for humanity
by hard fighting on many battlef1elds.
We refuse to be regimented, and have
all of our private activities controlled
by boards and bureaus at Washington
unaccountable to the people for their
actions and frequently not familiar
with local conditions and problems"

spoke of "a minimum basis sufficient
for conclusive realization"-which was
taken to mean that Italy might agree
to discuss modified proposals contain
ing such a minimum basis.
This bore out recent statements by
government Spokesmen to the effect
that the government would agree to
accept as basis for discussions the
proposals OF the committee of f1ve,
provided they were considerably modi-
fled.
Today's communique also was re-
garded as more conciliatory than that
of last Saturday, inasmuch as 1t re-
ferred to the cabinets appreciation"
of the efforts at conciliation made in
Geneva.
The five-power committees plan
was designed to give Italy certain
economic and financial advantages in
Ethiopia while maintaining the in
dependence of that empire.
1t was described by League officials
as "the framework of plan" for
dSolSJdhIC W E1IliOpio III
administrative, economic, financial
and social reform.
1t was understood Italy would be
allotted the privilege Of developing
Ethiopia economically and financially,
but Ethiopia's independence would be
maintained.
Several foreign advisers would be
appointed and a force of gendarmerie
would be instituted with foreign Off
GERS. The Emperor, however, could
exercise veto power over the appoint
mentS.

France and Great Britain were pre-
pared to make certain territorial con-
cessions to Ethiopia in the Interests

division will concentrate all of the
questions under his direction.
At present, embargoes on munitions
shipments are in force with respect
to China, Nicaragua, Cuba, Honduras,
Paraguay and Bolivia, and the new
division will supervise the continuance
of regulations concerning these
countries.
The embargo against shipments to
China has been in effect since
March 4, 1922.
Embargoes against arms shipments
to Latin American countries. unde-
laws which permit an embargo
against arms shipments to any ma
tions on this hemisphere where civil
strife prevails have been in effect as
follows: Nicaragua, since September
Is. 1926; Cuba, since June IS, 1894;
Honduras, since March %, 1924, and
to Paragua and Bolivia since last year,
when efforts were made to halt the
Chaco war.
The new division will also supervise
provisions of the espionage act of June
is. 1917, under which the export of
arms and munitions may be prohibited
if they are designated by the Secre-
taries of War or Navy as military
secrets.
State Department officials empha-
sized in making the announcement
that it had no direct bearing on the
threatening European situation, since
it would have been necessary in order
to carry out provisions of the neutral
ity law and the National Munitions
Control Board, set up under that act.
The act specified that administra-
ton would be vested in the State De-
partment.

Mussolini's reply to the peace plan
would not be 100 per cent mo"
It was reported that Ethiopia's re-
ply to the League project had been
received and that on the whole it was
favorable.
Tecle Hawariate, Ethiopian dele
gate, declined to confirm this but
admitted he had received instructions
to ask for the exact meaning Of the
certain features of the five-power
committees report.
Ethiopia was reported to be asking
two questions:
l. Will Emperor Halle Selassie def
initely have the right to veto the
appointment Of foreign advisors?
2. In the event that certain eco
nomic advantages 60 to Italy, will
Ethiopia. be able to maintain unre-
servedly the open door policy with
respect to commerce?

GENEVA, September 81 (P).-Prem-
ier Mussolini's mo" to its peace plan
dropped on the League of Nations to-
day like bomb.
The League was out for luncheon.
Delegates of the nations assembled
here were scattered over Geneva in
their respective hotels.
Nevertheless, the first impression
was one Of dismay.
League officials, however, called at
tention to the fact that todays rejec-
tion of the flve-power committees sug-
geStions does not necessarily preclude
Italy's later acceptance of different
proposals.
Council Has Two Courses.
1t was pointed out the next step
will be for the League Council to
receive the committees reports and
either make that rport its own or,
proceeding under article Is of the
League Covenant, declare the concili-
alton phase ended and draw up a new
series of recommendations.
This might include provision for
sanctions. 1t would be submitted to
both Italy and Ethiopia, giving them
a last chance to accept or reject it.
If Italy then rejects the new rec
concentrations and starts q war against
Ethiopia she will be considered, under
article 16 of the covenant, to have
committed an act of war against all
members of the League" and the
sanctions would automatically become
effective.
Departure Fear DispelIed.
Any expectation that Mussolinis
refusal of the committees proposals
might be accompanied by Italy's i'm
mediate departure from the League
was dispelled by a spokesman for the
Italian delegation, who said: Every
body is staying here for the present" T"

robberies yesterday.
They were spurred by the snatch

The total loot was officially estimated

apprehending law breakers who trans
port stolen gems across State lines.
An official of the Chicago Jewellers
Association laid the series of robberies
to "a new mob" He asserted the

tics in all their operations. He
sketched this outline:

their hotels. A "fingerman" Spied
on their daily routine. His confeder-
ates followed along the trail. The
"fingerman" Signaled them when the
opportune moment was reached. The
gunners then cornered their victims
twice in Loop buildings, four times
on crowded streets-gathered up the
loot and raced away.
