ITALY Is willing to make peace with
Ethiopia, agreeing to arbitrate their
disputes and to cease from further
military measures, but on terms that
Emperor Halle Selassie probably will
not accept. These terms, as reported
to London by Sir Eric Drummond,
British ambassador to Rome, are:
First-The integrity and independ-
ence of Ethiopia are to be respected.
Second-Ethiopia must accept a d.
vision of the country into three zones
of influence. One-third of the coun-
try, the Anglo-Sudan frontier, would
be in the British zone. 1t would in
clude Lake Tsana, which is the source
of the upper Blue Nile which flows
into the Nile at Khartoum. Another
third would be within the French zone
of influence. 1t would cover the rail-
way from Djibuti. French Somaliland,
to Adds Ababa, capital Of Ethiopia.
The third zone, under italian influence,
would include all highlands. which are
suitable for Italian immigration and
which comprise the only fertile section.
One of Italy's complaints against
Ethiopia has been that slavery was
still in existence there. This has been
rectifed by an edict of the emperor
setting free the serfs. He also has
abolished ancient and unequal taxes
on 60 per cent of the land, substituting
a fixed and regular payment. This af-
fects 100000 of his people. The gov
ernment's revenue will be Increased
by the edict, and agriculture and stock
raising will be advanced.
BISHOP John Fisher and Sir Thomas
- More, who lost their heads four
hundred years ago for opposing the
marriage of Henry VIII to Anne
Boleyn, were canonized by Pope Plus in
magnificent ceremony in st. Peters,
Rome, and about $4,000 persons were
in attendance The chief interest In
the proceedings was in the sermon de-
livered by the pope, in which he urged
the audience to pray that England
might return to the Roman Catholic
faith. The Holy Father said:
"We desire that with your ardent
prayers invoking patronage of the new
saints you ask of the Lord that which
is so dear to our heart-namely: that
England, in the words of st. Paul.
'meditating the happy contamination
which crowned the life of two mar
tyrs, may follow them in their faith
and return to the fathers house in
unity, faith and knowledge of the son
of God
"Let those who are still separated
from us consider attentively the an
cient glories of their church, which
were at once the reflection and the in
crement of the glories of the church
of Rome"

u USSIA'S immense airplane, the
~ Maxim Gorky, largest land plane
in the world, was destroyed when it
collided with small training plane
over Moscow suburb, collapsed at a
height of 1000 feet and fell in ruins
All on board. 4S in number, were
killed, as was the pilot of the small
plane. The victims were mostly engi-
neers and workers of the Central Aero
dynamic institute and members of
their families who were being taken
for pleasure ride.
The Maxim Gorky was show plane
rather than practical ship and was
used for spreading Soviet propaganda.
1t was built by popular subscription in
1884 and was an all metal, eight-mo-
tored monoplane with wing spread
of 200 feet and a fuselage 100 feet
long, and was most deliberately
equipped. The Soviet government an
nounced Immediately after the disas-
ter that it would build three more
giant planes of the same type.

state commerce under NRA codes or
regulations; banning price fixing ex-
cept in mineral resource industries,
and directing the President to revise
all codes within thirty days to con-
form to the provisions of the resolu-
ton. Majority leaders in the house
were prepared to fight for the two
year extension, but admitted the Clark
resolution was likely to prevail there
also. In that case, in the opinion OF
many observers, the NRA will be prac-
tically dead.
While the senate was debating the
matter, Mr.. Richberg told a mass
meeting of NRA workers that the
Clark resolution was complete folly"
This aroused the Missourian to wrath.
He called it ''the most .brazen exhibit
ton of impudence on the part of a
bureaucratic official which has fallen
under my observation during my life
time," and next day, in a set speech,
he told his fellow senators at length
just what he thought of Mr.. Richberg
and "his ambition to be Mussolini in
the United States"
An organization called the industry
and business committee for NRA eX-
tension was called into action, as
were the farmers for AAA, and its
head, Ward Cheney, silk manufactur-
er, announced that meeting of dele
cations of industries would be held in
Washington May %.
G ENATOR HUEY LONGS resolution
- for an investigation of Postmaster
General Farley was rejected by vote
of GO to 20, the "Kingfsh" being the
only Democrat recorded in favor of it.
The senate then passed the Norris
amendments to the Tennessee Valley
Authority act, increasing the Twas
bonding authorization from fifty to one
hundred million dollars and protecting
its electric power activities from court
interference.
Next on the senate program was the
Wagner labor relations board bill
which its author declared was "respon-
sive to the ominous Industrial distur-
Dances of last summer when blood ran
freely in the streets and martial law
was in the offing."
After several amendments designed
to limit the power the measure in

bill was showed through by a vote of

ton and was in region where so
much work relief was not needed. But
Mr.. Roosevelt, whose CampObello sum-
mer cottage is near the location of
the proposed dam site, Is said to be
personally interested in the project,
believing it will bring new industries
to the area. Another argument in it's
favor is that the old question of the
practicability Of Harvesting the ocean
tides may be settled by it.
Anyhow, this big Maine project is to
go ahead. and Maj. Philip B. Fleming
of the army engineers corps has been
chosen to take charge of the construc-
ton. Major Fleming has been serving
in the PWA for some time but has
been released for this Eastport work

L established pay rates under the S4,-

the country into four sections in set
ting regional wages. Pay will range
from $40 a month for unskilled labor
ers in the South to S94 month for
professional and technical workers in
the East. The wages will be from 20
TO 80 per cent below the prevailing
wage rate structure throughout the
country.

party" and prefaced his remarks with
the statement that "a great many of
the high and mighty" have been de-
liberately trying to mislead many peo-
pie by Lying about the kind of farm
program under which this nation is
operating" He went on to deny en-
phatically that the government has
"wastefully destroyed food in any
FORM"
Next day many of tie visiting farm
ers were in the senate gallery and
heard Senator Daniel o. Hastings of
Delaware, Republican, score the Presi-
dent for characterizing critics of the
AAA program as liars. The senator
said:
"In his radio speech of April %, the
President urged his audience to feel
free to criticize He invites criticism
and then shows that he can't take
it. We who have criticized the New
Deal were earlier called tories trail
tors winners 'chiselers,' etc. but
now we are called liars and every
body understands just what that
means, and it comes with little dignity
from a man who holds the high posi-
ton of President of the United States.
But / want to say that if this term
is applied to all of those persons who
have criticized the New Deal, we have
developed the greatest crop of liars
within the last six months ever found
in any country"
Senator Hastings than introduced a
resolution calling upon the secretary
of agriculture to submit all CORE
spondence between the department and
the visiting farmers, together with any
instructions sent out to county agents
with view of producing the "spon-
taneOus" visitation. Mr.. Hastings also
demanded to know how the delegates
were selected and what financial as
sistance directly or Indirectly" was
extended to them by the agricultural
officials.
Over in the house Representative
Fish of New York started lively de-
bate on the same topic, and he was
even more oHtspoken than Mr.. Hast
ings, saying:
Confused and COMPOUNDED by the
marked swing away from the unsound
and Socialistic New Deal policies, the
President lost his head-and that is
the mildest term that can be applied
when he called his critics liars"
Richberg has let it be known that
he intends to retire from government
work by July 1 and, after long rest,
to resume law practice 1t is believed
that w. Averill Hartman, NRA execu-
tive officer, and Sol Rosenblatt, head
of the compliance section, also will
resign.

boom is gaining Roadway and that ma
tional headquarters will be opened

bled in the last month, much of the en-

discouraged it.
Q ENATOR WAGNER of New York
~ and Representative Crosser of
Ohio offered in the senate and house
identical railroad labor pension bills
drafted in way to meet the objec-
lions of the Supreme court to the law
it declared unconstitutional. Because
of the must" list of measures de-
manded by the President, this bill may
not be acted on in this session.
AS re-drafted. the Wagner-Crosser
bill seeks to meet specifically the rul-
ing of the majority of the Supreme
court that congress had exceeded its
authority by legislating for the wei
fare of the workers; by invading the
field of intrastate commerce, and by
imposing drastic pensions provisions.
The new act is based upon providing
additional safety and efficiency for the
carriers, attempts to exempt rail work
ers in intrastate commerce and modi-
fies the controversial pension clauses.

YEAR Of LIQUOR

3 MILLION

RICHMOND, Va, May 16.-Vir-
ginia's Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board. celebrating its first birth
day yesterday looks back upon a
year during which $13,000,O00
passed through its hands and
more than 100000 in revenue
went to the State Treasury.
The revenue yield from a traf-
fic which a year ago was entirely
in the hands of bootleggerS is
nearly twice the estimate of the
1894 General Assembly.
But. while the revenue side Of
the business has been sensational
because it went beyond the most
optimistic anticipations, the board
cites pr .reSS In wiping out the
illicit liquor traffic in the cities
as the MAJOR accomplishment Of
the year.
Bootlegging is believed to have
been reduced no less than 80 per
cent, and the supply Of untaxed
spirits sold has been cut in pro-
portion.
Under the control law. the
three major types Of alcoholic
beverage are dispensed under
three plans. All spirituouS liquors
are handled wholesale and retail
by the ABC Board, except drug
giSt supplies.
Wines are handled wholesale
and retail, but license holders buy
ing wholesale through the Abe
Board may sell wine over the
counter and by the bottle. And
beer can be purchased independ-
emily by licensees who must pay
an excise tax in addition to the
license fee.
