There will be no wailing or crashing
of teeth at the funeral of the latest Italo-
Ethiopian "peace plan," unless the tears
are those of Great Britain and France,
and the enamel is ground from the
molars of the same pair. Since the ltal-
ian invasion of Ethiopia began, the only
other thing which has drawn SO concert
ed a rush of opposition was the invasion
of Ethiopia by Mussolinis armies. Be
hind the scenes was a laudatory desire
to maintain peace, but deeper even than
that was the hidden disregard by British
and French statesmen of the same
League of Nations they attempted to
use in furthering peace.
The league, theoretically, was estab-
lished to prevent war Under it, each
nation is supposed to receive the same
consideration in the light of human
rights and justice. Yet France and
Britain, palpably, were willing to sacri-
flee Ethiopia and the principles of the
league to bring about a two-fold goal,
keep the peace and protect their own in
terests. If Mussolini and the small ma
tionS of the league had agreed to the
plan as drawn by the two great powers,
Ethiopia would have lost everything.
Italy would have won new territory for
colonization. and Great Britain would
have protected her interests in the Lake
Tana region, headquarters of the Blue
Nile.
France, by preventing Mussolini from
achieving his aim of full control over
mineral resources in Ethiopia, would
have forestalled a potentially dangerous
ally of Germany.
Thus, Britain sought to sacrifice Eth
iopia on the altar of the league of ma
tons to maintain her East African
power intact without open conflict with
Italy. France sought to sacrifice Eth

iopia to prevent a tremendous gain in
Italian prestige which might eventually
have been used against France. France,
also, would have consolidated her pos
ition further as friend and ally of the
British Lion.
The intent of the two nations was too
apparent. Smaller nations in the league,
imagining themselves in a situation SIM
liar to that of Ethiopia, prepared for
last-ditch stand against the proposal.
Italy. seeing itself checkmated in its
greed for mineral resources and a stran
gle-hold over almost all of East Africa,
refused the sop of meagre territorial
possessions. Halle SelaSsie, emperor of
Ethiopia, recognized his countrys be-
travail. What the nations would have
given over to Italy would not make much
difference to Italy or any of the others,
but to Selassie it would have been ev-
erything All these forces, combined in
opposition to the Franco British plan,
doomed it to defeat from inception.
Collapse of the plan leaves both Great
Britain and France in a precarious pos
ition. Talk of oil embargo, which is
paramount to talk of war, will be re-
sumed The two powers cannot afford
to leave their strong positions against
Italy without losing international pres
tige Italy, by withdrawing, would ad-
nit defeat, and Mussolini has given evil
dence that he prefers death.
Collapse of the Franco-British plan,
together with the reasons which mott
waited the adoption of it by France and
Britain, present the best argument yet
given against American participation in
the political maneuverings of the Eur
opean continent. Where selfish interests
hold the upper hand, the United States
should stay out, for the United States
has no interest there

When Sammie Littletail went

had the adventure of falling down

Anyhow, after a while Sammie
grew tired of having his friends
laugh at him, especially the girl

Sheriffs Office Outlines New
Law In Trying to Clean
Up DeIinquenciss

Several thousand new notices to
persons delinquent In paying per-
sonal property taxes are being mailed
out by Sheriff Fred Anstrom this
week.
It was made necessary by enact
ment of an emergency law permitting
deltnquents to pay certain Of their
back taxes at . discount. The new
notice lists the provisions Of the new
law and asks that the taxpayers come
In and settle up.
Under the law, delinquent personal
property taxes for 1882 and 1888 can
be settled for the face value, without
payment Of penalty or interest. Tax
es for 1881 can b settled for 90 per
cent Of their face, without penalty
or interest. while taxes for 1880 and
prior years can be settled for 20 per
cent, without penalty or interest. This
privilege, under the law, Is extended
only for this year.
Before the law was enacted, An
strom said, his office was "makine
progress" In collecting delinquent tax
es. but when news got out that It was
possible to settle cheap such pay.
ments stopped. He hopes to start
them up again by the new notices
and, II there Is insufficient response,
may resort to more drastic methods.
Just how many persons are delin.
quent the sheriff,s office doesn't know
but estimates the number at several
thousand. The total Of personal pro-
perry tax delinquencies In the city OF
Bismarck alone from 1921 to 1893 was
more than $4,000 and it requires
about four and q quarter books to
hold the delinquent listings.
Meanwhile the sheriffs office re-
ported making two levies on personal
property to collect delinquent taxes.
