Peace Moves.

Despite categorical affirmations and
equally specific denials of moves to bring
peace between Italy and Ethiopia, the
burden of evidence is that behind-the-
scenes activities are actually in progress
to that end. 1t is diplomacy's habit to
disavow such purposes in the initial
stage, lest premature disclosure defeat
them. In the present circumstances
neither Mussolini nor Halle Selassie feels
he can afford to convey the impression
that he is suing for peace. 1t is Europe
that longs for it.
Therefore, as sanctions day." October
81, approaches, that being the date when
League powers expect all preliminaries
to have been completed by the flfty-odd
governments involved, Great Britain and
France are constrained to avoid extreme
measures against Italy, if that is possible.
In pursuance of such a desire Premier
Laval has assumed the delicate task of
persuading Great Britain to recall the
imposing fleet she has concentrated in
with this threat to his military life
line to Africa removed, Mussolini might
be in conciliatory mood. M. Laval is
also actuated by the conviction that
reduction of British naval strength to
normal proportions would minimize the
chance Of an incident" in Mediterranean
waters resultant from clash between
British and Italian ships. The danger
that such an episode would lead to Anglo
italian war and general European con-
f1ict is the nightmare that terrifies Old
World statesmen and largely inspires
current peace efforts. Pope Plus XII is
understood to be seconding M. Laval's
overtures. These may go to smash on
the rock of British inSistence that the
case is before the League and must be
settled there.
Along with Mediterranean truce, the
tentative peace plan apparently calls for
halt of the italian Army in its present
positions in Ethiopia. The occupied
Tigre region would thereupon be set up
as an autonomous" state, governed by
Emperor" Halle Selassie Gugsa, who
recently came into the Italian camp.
Ethiopia would cede to Italy territory
linking Eritrea with Somaliland, and the
remainder of the country would be
placed under League mandate, with DOM
mating Italian influence. Pre- essential
to any such arrangements, the peace re-
ports emphasize, is an Anglo-Italian
accord.
II Duce talks bravely of Italys ability
to Withstand sanctions, however rigorous,
including financial strangulation. But
as the shadow of these League meas
ures bears down ever more realistically
there must be deep heart-searching at
Rome and fervent wishes that extremes
can be averted Perhaps the olive
branch just extended by Secretary Hull
and Sir Samuel Hoare, indicating Anglo
American readiness to consider measures
for more equitable distribution OF the
worlds raw materials, may turn Musso-
lini's thoughts peacewards. He has won
material military successes in Ethiopia.
Complete conquest of that country, de-
spite its sorry show of armed resistance
thus far, will entail gigantic sacrifices by
Italy, The would-be war-enders have
ample arguments in hand with which to
convince the Fascist dictator that his
interests all lie in the direction of an
early and negotiated peace.

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
Glory That Is Ours

Long ago in London town
In fruitful age
Sculptor, player, sage,
Poet Of highways
Singer of sweet lays,
Nodded many golden days.
And the nights they gathered round
Banquet boards, gay, did resound
Philosophy in London town
Long ago.
Art has sculptured our fair town;
Beauty in the Mall,
Cathedral spires tall,
Stately marble hall.
There may yet befall
Days of golden craft for all.
And the nights we gather round
Banquet boards may yet resound
As they did in London town
Long ago.

Paa Pilot Cr0sson
 Arrived Barrow
 4:3O P. M. Today

Late reports today said that Pilot Joe CroSSon of the Pacific Alaska AirWays arrived at Barrow at 4:30 P. M. today from Fairbanks, and that he will return to Fairbanks tonight. Late wires from the states said that the Pan American Airways had been requested to bring the bodies out from Point Barrow, and so Pilot Crosson will probably have the bod ies on his return trip.
 Thos. A. Ross in Charge of the Nome Station of the U. s. Coast Guard was advised by the U.S.C.G. Northland early this morning that headquarters had directed the cut ter Northland, which had been to Barrow and was sailing on it's re- turn voyage to Nome, to return and pick up the bodies and transport them to Nome. The Cutter was off Seahorse Island, located near Icy Cape at the time.
 The Northland also informed him that heavy winds were driving the ice packs onto the beach and that it would be almost impossible to re- turn. MT. Ross was delegated to convey the information to the Paci- fc Alaska Airways which was dis patching an airplane, piloted by Av- iator Joe Crosson of the conditions. The Northland further advised that the best possible way of handling the situation was by airplane rather than attempting to obtain the bodies and bring them to Nome, due to the treacherous Arctic ice foes and stormy weather.
 The information was turned over to the Nome PAA radio station and they Wirelessed Fairbanks where the plane was preparing to take off about 10 AM today.
 The plane took off from Fairbanks and the latest reliable information indicates that they will return to Fairbanks with the bodies.

 Want a rope, Joe,' he drawled.

 Is that all the river you got? Gotta have more river than that for an airplane"
 Post and Rogers were brought from the airplane landing to the city in the Chrysler automobile of Crosson. In the car. also were Mrs. Crosson and Joseph E. Crosson, Jr., whom MT. Rogers welcomed warm ly. The car containing the distin- guished visitors was followed by a long string of automobiles

RED BATTING BY
LEGION is SCORED

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Dec.
81. CUP).-A Stanford University
professor yesterday charged the
American Legion with responsible
ity for ''lawlessness, bloodshed and
murder" in California.
Red-baiting tactics of the Lee
gion were denounced bitterly by
Prof. Thomas F. Barclay of STAN
ford. He spoke before joint ses-
sion of the American Historical
association and the American Po-
litical Science association.
Terrorism" developing as at
tempts were made to organize
California agricultural unions, said
the professor, was contributed to
by opposition of the American
Legion, large land owners and
"other groups"
He charged such developments
have been aided at times "by law
enforcement officials and senSa-
tional newspapers.
