PLACED
ON THE SPOT
DURING CRISIS
BY JOHN A. REICHMANN


WASHINGTON, July 19.-Recent
Italia n-Ethiopian developments
threatening pact of Paris commit
ments placed the state department
today in one of the most difficult
positions since the Japanese inya-
sion of China.
The lessons learned in that eXpe-
rience, when Henry Stimson, then
secretary of state, was obliged to
retreat from an insistent attitude,
is believed to have tempered Secre-
tary of State Cordell Hull's atti-
tude.
Hull has indicated his desire for
observance of the Kellogg-Briand
pact solely in the interest of world
peace. While there has been some
discussion OF the possibility of the
United States invoking the pact,
observers see little likelihood that
it will be done soon.
For one thing, they point out,
the pact could not be invoked be-
fore the beginning of hostilities.
Some doubt that it could be in
voked in the absence of a formal
declaration of war.
So far the pact has been but
little discussed in formal diplomatic
conversations. When Hull wrote
the Ethiopian government in re-
sponse to the plea of Emperor Halle
SelaSsie, he said the United States
was loath to believe any powers
would seek any settlement incon-
sistent with the pact of Paris.
This note provoked such reac-
ton in Italy that Hull subeuqently
explained to Italian Ambassador
Augusta Rosso that the govern
ments position essentially was one
of seeing peace preserved in all
international arrangements de-
signed for the preservation of peace.
Since then, however, the govern
ment's attitude has been one OF
increasing vigilance. All diplo-
matte representative have been ad-
vised to keep in intimate touch
with the situation and are being
kept informed of developments
here.

NEW YORK, November 9.-Quiet
backing and filling movements that
represented for the most part adjust
ments of accounts in preparation for
the extended holiday, took up most
of the two-hour session on the bond
market today.
United States Governments were
virtually at a standstill with trading
reaching total of only $4,000, par
value. Fluctuations were insignifi-
cant and closing prices were mixed,
1-32nd higher to 3-32nds lower.
Electric Power and Light bonds, the
center of Fridays activity, were ex-
tremely quiet and prices in most cases
were within small fractions either way
of the previous closing. Utility
Power & Light SIS and Columbia Gas
IS were among others edging a trifle
higher.
Reports of good earnings by the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railway sent that
roads bonds up more than points
along with several issues of Allegheny
Corp, most Of which we're to 312
better. Other rail bonds did little
either way. New York Central SIS and
Northern Pacific 4hs were among
others gaining fractionally. Balti-
more & Ohio 41as were u lower at
ssh.
There we're quite a few firm spots
in the industrial division and this
group, as measured by the Associated

point. The averages for other
groups were i of a point higher to

NEW YORK, November 9.-Cotton
made further gains today as new buy
ing on yesterdays low crop report
continued to filter into the market.
December sold up to 11.41 and after
reacting to 11.34 closed at 1l39, with
the general list closing steady at net
advances of to 10 points.
The opening was firm in response
to higher Liverpool cables, foreign
buying and scattering demand from
Wall Street commission house sources.
At levels As to SO points above last
Mondays lows the market met consid-
cradle hedging and profit taking for
the holiday week end, but it was alb
sorbed on partial reactions, and clos
ing quotations were within 2 to 6
points of the best.
The prospect for showers or rains in
the Western belt, with a renewal of
freezing temperatures, was steady
ing factor, but bullish comment dealt
largely with the reduction in crop
estimates and optimistic views of world
requirements.
The amount of cotton on shipboard
awaiting clearance at the end OF the
week was estimated at 10000 bales,
against 10000 last year and 100000
two years ago.

this week by N. w. Elsberg, state
highway commissioner, to partici-

emergency federal work funds
set up for use on rural or farm

Letters outlining the program
have been sent by Conmissiner
Elsberg to County Engineer Rich

ment bulletin.
The S1,3OO,OOO is 25 per cent of
Minnesota's S5,200,00O allotment

quire that one-fourth Of the total
be spent on roads off of the state

"There are several important

HEARING ON BANK
REMOVAL DELAYED
Injunction Case Continued
Until August 2 To
Perfect Records

The hearing on the request of
minority stockholders for a per-
manent restraining order to pre-
vent the removal of the State
Bank of Evan to Redwood Falls
was continued until August 2 at
10 a. m. when the matter came be-
fore Judge A. B. Gislason in dis
trict court at New Ulm Monday
morning.
The postponement was made at
the request of counsel for George
A. Carnes, one of the men anxious
to have the bank moved here, af-
ter it was found that it would be
necessary to correct the records
providing for the removal of the
bank as they concern the minority
stockholders. The question for
correction is whether the direct
ors were given the right, by the
stockholders, to pick a new site
and set the amount of the capital
stock.
While a majority of the stock
holders favor the moving of the
bank, C. D. Griffith and others
are opposed and wish the bank Ii
quidated. They started the action
for an injunction.
In view of this delay, a request
has been made to the banking
commission for a postponement
of the hearing on the application
for right to move the bank here.
