when the italian considers that

realized how seriously the British
have taken this threat.
In Egypt just a little while
ago British military men told me
I'VE could not have held Egypt
against the Italians last October
The Italians had maSsed greatly
superior numbers Of troops in
Libya.
Today the British have q COM
parable number in Egypt and
have fortified the Libyan from
tier with q chain Of machine
gun fortresSes and barbed wire
until it looks like q sector Of the
western Front in the Great War.
Intelligent Italians, however,
know that fundamentally the
Italian military position against
Britain Is hopeless. Give the
Italian air force, submarines and
torpedoes the greatest conceiv-
able successes against the Brit
iSh navy and the British would
still have enough ships to close
the SueZ Canal, bottle up the
italian navy and blockade Italy.
Then it would merely be mat
ter Of waiting for the inevitable
collapse.
But does Britain want Italy to
collapse?
Britain's reasons for wishing to
stop 1taly'S conquest Of Ethiopia
are three. First, to help the under
dog. This is q sentimental con-
sideration strong in the British
public. but absent in the foreign
office.
Check on Ambition
Second, to keep Italy from OBJ
tanning q position on the Red Sea
which might threaten the empire
route to India. and to check any
latent Italian ambitions to possess
Egypt and the Sudan. Italy would
have to feel strong enough to dare
an aggressive war with Britain in
order to gain Egypt and the Sudan,
but her spectacular success IN
Ethiopia coupled with her reported
plans for q huge black army make
Britain uncertain whether any
limit can be proposed to italian
ambition.
Third, Britain wishes to stop
Italy by League machinery in order
to give Germany q lesson. This
is by far the most important rea-
son for British support Of sane
lions. Anthony Eden, passionate!y
sincere League advocate, knows
as well as any German emigre
that Italy is no danger to the
peace Of Europe, but Germany
may well be. He wishes to show
Germany what will happen to her
if she dareS treat any Of her Euro
pean neighborS as Italy is treating
Ethiopia.
France Needs italy
Just now, Britain, smarting, un-
der Italy's repeated blows to her
prestige, would be pleased to see
MuSsolini collapse. But France
will never willingly permit 1t. be-
cause France needs Italy as well
as the League to help her against
Germany. Britain will not fight
Italy without Frances help.
Logically, therefore, the Italo-
British conflict will not come to
war. Events do not always obey
logic.
Germany has absorbed the les
son, but not the way Eden meant.
Germany has seen the League
sanctions fall against Italy. She
has seen Mussolini defy the League
and go on to victory in Ethiopia.
She has seen Britain force Italy
out Of the Stresa lineup of powers
against Germany. She has seen
the triumph of national force over

a VI ord Or Two
about Mistakes
Publishers Make

When errors find their way into
articles in newspapers-which they
freque Itly d0-everybody notices
them and most of those who observe
them ,hide the publisher for his
careIeSsness or ignorance, but when
the publisher leaves out a paid
advert sement about all that is left
for him to do is to kick himself.
This very thing happened in The
Examiner office last week when we
changed the set-up on the political
announcements. We inadvertently
ommit ed the announcement of c.
C. cap" Nolan, candidate for
County Treasurer. Mr.. Nolan dis
covered our plight and when he
called cur attention to it he did 1t
in sucn nice way that we felt
doubly chagrined for having made

Senator Peter H. (Pete) Ething-

nomination for a second term as
state senator for Pinal county, ex-
poets to be in Coolidge in the
interest of his campaign some time
next week.
"I'm going to get around and see
as many of the voters in Coolidge
as possible next week, and at the
same time will give some of the
main obqectives for which l ex-
pect to strive in the next session
of the legislature,' he said in a
message to the Examiner yesterday.

the good people of Coolidge, and

probation for past and present sup

False Kidnapping
Rumor In Coolidge
Excites Populace

Excitement in Coolidge early last
Sunday evening was at a feverish
pitch when false report was circu-
lated that a seven-year-old Mexican
girl had been kidnapped from near
her home i'll south town and spirit
ed away to the desert country by a
negro man.
The report caused much activity
on the part of Constable f. E.
Stringer and Deputy Sheriff Asa
Gardner, who were all set in less
time than is required to bat an eye,
and both stepped upon the gas in
order to arrive at the scene quick
ly, and after they had arrived at
"the Flats" in north Coolidge they
were sent scurrying back to south
Coolidge.
Groups of excited citizens we're
encountered at both places visited
by the officers. Notwithstanding
the obstacles placed in their way
by the fren2ied.' : people who had
heard the Use report, Constable
Stringer and Deputy Sheriff Gard
ner soon solved the mysterious dis
appearance of. the Mexican girl.
1t seems nat two girls of about
the same @se had been playing
"around.the house" of their parents
in south Coolidge. Just like chill
dren, they got into an argument that
broke up their play, and the miss
ing girl took it to heart, steaithily
entered the family home and secret
ed herself under a large double
bed, their to "cry it out" alone and
in silence, not even signing loud
enough for anyone to hear her. and
likewise her 9obs were done in
undertone.
After the missing girl' was
brought from under the bed she be-
came hysterical at seeing so many
people, including the two minions
of the law, present, and heI vail
ing could be heard for more than a
block as scalding tears trickled
over her cheeks.

KEITH KENNEDY KIDNAPPED
MOEtJR RAPS HIS OPPONENT
Ickes Charges
Landon Deserts
New Deal Plan

WASHINGTON, Aug 3.-(UP)-
Harold L. Ickes, secretary of the in
terror, trained New Deal campaign
guns on Gov. Alf M. Landon to-
night, firing the charge that the
Republican candidate 'has gone
A.W.OL. from the war against pow
erty" he joined in 1888 by pledging
personal support to President
Roosevelt's fight agains the de-
preston.
Ickes, who rebelled from Repub-
lican ranks four years ago, recalled
a statement made by Governor Lam
don when the Republican leader was
chairman of an NRA oil code con-
ference here.
Statement Quoted
81 desire to acknowledge, in a
tangible way, the appreciation of
the people of my state of the cour-
age with which President Roosevelt
has attacked the depression" he
quoted Landon.
If there is any way in which
a member of the species, thought
by many to be extinct, a Republi-
can governor of a middle western
state, can aid him in the fight, |
now enlist for the duration of the
war"
1T would appear that candidate
Landon has gone A. w. o. l.. from
the war against poverty and want
and the exploitation of the weak in
which he enlisted in 1888" Ickes
commented.
Hearst Discovered Him"
''He was not candidate for
president then" Ickes said. "Wil-
liam Randolph Hearst and the Wall
Street interests had not discovered
him And he made a speech. In
that speech he said, among other
things.
GO. . Even the iron hand or a
national dictator is preferable to a
paralytic stroke
"No one thought" Ickes said, "to
ask Governor Landon whom he had
in mind when he referred to a para.
lytic stroke but | suspect that it
was the general belief that he
meant Mr.. Herbert Hoover

Lower Rates For
Power authorized
For Casa Grande

mated Casa CIR; nde electric light

yearly was announced Monday by
Charles R. Howe, chairman of the
Arizona Corporation Commission.

The reduction was in the nature
of a basic change in the commercial
lighting and small power schedules.
'sWhen the ch. racteristics of a
rate are changed there sometimes
are instances wnere the new rate,
effecting a general saving, penalties
isolated individual consumers. To
guard against this the two old rates
have been left optional to the new
rate so that no consumer in any
possible way will be made to pay
more than he now pays" Mr.. Howe
said.
The old and new schedules:
Old schedule-12 cents kilowatt
hour for the frs so kilowatt hours,
II cents for the next 70, eight cents
for the next 200, six cents for the
next 300, four cents for the next 400
and two cents foc all in excess.
New schedule-10 cents a kilo-
watt hour for the first 80 kilowatt
hours, nine cents for the next 70,
six cents for the next 100, three
cents for the next 200 and two cents

in his campaign for reelection, ad
dressing very representative
audience in the open in front Of
Legion Hall in north Coolidge.
During the latter part Of Governor
Moeur'5 address the street was
blocked in the block east of the
hail.
During his remarks Governor
Moeur threw down the gauntlet to
his opponent, Judge R. G. Stan
ford.
Answering a charge made in
Tucson that the governors relief
fund was being used for political
purposes" the chief executive said:
II take a solemn oath before God
that not one cent of that fund has
been used for political purposes
and any man who says so is a plain
liar and the truth is not in him."
The governor asserted he favor
ed a more liberal old age pension
law. Owing to the heavy relief load
we were carrying at the time" he
explained, the present payments
could not be made larger but as
state finances improve the pensions
will be increased. | will recon-
mand a bill to the next legislature
exempting the homes of all pen
sioners from taxation"
Governor Moeur declared him
self in favor of the highest possible
wages" for labor, copper tariff
and a strict law regulating the sale
OF liquor.
I'VE have a pretty good tail-hold
on the Colorado river, even though
we almost lost our rights in that
stl cam through politics." he said.

have taken a photograph Of 250
communists, who stOrmed' the
state capitol three years ago, all
carrying Stanford banners.
"My opponent" the governor
continued, ''is talking a great deal
about dignity in this campaign.
Let me ask you: How much dignity
do you think would attach to the
gogernorship of Arizona with
"Peewee" Zander on the governors S
right and Jumping GegaX on his
left and the front yard filled with
communists ?"
The governor said; "lf it hadn't
been for the state sales tax the
farmers would not have been pro
tected against red scale and other
plant diseases, the livestock men
against predatory animals and many
other benefits would not have been
obtained for the state.

he declared" until the emergency
is over and every county in the
state is out of debt.
"You will hear some claptraI

of people who want to get plenty

government, denouncing the priyil
ege sales tax. Let me tell you, if
it hadn't been for the sales tax
there wOundn't have been any
