Sir Samuel Hoare
This accomplished minister had at length
succeeded in carrying into law the India con-
stitution bill, upon which Mr.. Baldwins heart
was set. His promotion to the foreign office
meant not only a reward for his achievement,
but was a special mark of the confidence his
chief felt in him.
In order, however, to preserve a most inti-
mate control over foreign policy. Baldwin
adopted the extraordinary experiment of having
second foreign Office representative in the
cabinet He appointed the youthful and able
Anthony Eden as minister for League OF Ma

unavoidable except upon the basis that the
prime minister himself would give constant
personal guidance Having practically made
two foreign ministers, he was in position to
hold balance between them and control both.
We are bound, therefore, to attribute to the
prime minister a degree of responsibility even

GENEVA, April 18. - Great
Britain and France, long on op-
poSite sides of the diplomatic
fence in the Italo-Ethiopian
controversy, were stated by au-
thoritieS tonight to have reached
an agreement at last.
1t was understood that France
agreed to accept, for the present, the
continuation of existing sanctions
against Italy in return for a clearly
defined British support of the recent
French proposal for new security
system for Europe.
The agreement was said to be that
there would be no more talk of addi-
tional sanctions against Italy until
after the French parliamentary cleo
tions in May. 1t obviously was blow
to Ethiopia. Emperor Halle Selassie
telegraphed:
Ethiopia has for seven months
vainly awaited measures to put an
end to this aggression. Despite the
good will of the States which are
members of the League of Nations,
the sanctions that have been applied
have proved Intellectual.
The time that has been allowed
10 elapse without the imposition of
additional sanctions has enabled the
enemy to pursure with impunity his
aggression and his fragrant violation
Of the laws of war;
Britain's Position on Sanction.
Until today Great Britain has
eteadfastly advocated the imposition
of more sanctions, other than the pres
ent economic and financial, against
Italy if Mussolini continued the war
in East Africa. Ethiopia has de-
manded that military action be taken
against Italy by the League members.
Salvador de Madariaga of Spain,
president of the Leagues conciliation
body, the Committee of 49," reported
to the League the findings of the
Jurists appointed to investigate
charges that Italy was using poison
gas.
The findings reached no definite
conclusions, and it was decided to
send it to the governments of the
belligerents to permit them to make
such observations as they desire.
The Committee of 13 met for an
hour, and it was understood Baron
Pompeo AloiSi, Mussolini's delegate,
had promised Joseph Paul-Boncour,
French minister of state, at the ses-
sion, that he would refrain from max
ing any provocative remarks when
the League Council assemblies Mon
day.
At that time it is expected all mem
bers will state their countries atti-
tudes toward the war in Africa.

Democrats of the House Ways and

Transcends AME Elections

Partisanship was intense. The
Bryant opposition succeeded in re-
moving all other contenders and
concentrating on Prof. Shelby. The
ALBANIAN won, 436 to 1863, chiefly
because Bryant had overplayed his
hand on two points. In one scath-
ing release he referred to Georgia
minister's as Southern Jackass-
es," and resorted to the Sunday
School literature as means of
furthering his attack upon tho
bishops and certain general officers
for what he termed abuses in Of
flee.
