Britain Is Worked Up

By LHitCd Press
LONDON, Aug 1.-Sir Herbert
Samuel, leader of the Liberal party,
demanded strong Intervention by
Great Britain in the Italian-E Eth
opian dispute during an important
debate on foreign affairs today IN
the house of commons.
Sir Herbert insisted that "Abys-
sinia must not be thrown to the
wolves for the sake of Franco
Italian understanding.
Sir Herbert raised the color ques-
ton. He reminded the house of the
British empires population of TO-
100000 whites and 430,000,O00 col
ored.
Britain has the strongest inter-
est" he said. I'm deprecating the
outbreak of a struggle which may be
represented as contest between
white and colored.'
He vaoiced a fear that the issue
of Italy and Ethiopia would be
smothered in committees in Geneva
and Italy will act while the League
is talking"

 The committee, 'reserving to it. self the right to doubt that 1t is possible to secure honest adminis- tration of such an act" recom- mended that subsidies such as pro- posed in the administrators ship subsidy act should be rigidly safe- guarded.
