Italy's Conquest Cannot Be
Upheld, Capt. Eden States

tCOnCinued from rage One.p
Eden, of Great Britain, told the Lea
que of Nations Assembly today it
should not in any way recognize
Italys conquest of Ethiopia
He declared, however, that sane
tions had failed, and that "only mill
tary action could succeed in chang
ing the present situation
'In present world onditions, this
could not be considered as a posi-
bility,' the British foreign secretary
added
He recommended the continuance
after the Assembly has taken action
to suppress sanctions, of mutual as
sistance pacts in the Mediterranean
Sea.
Eden spoke while Geneva heard
warnings of wholesale designations OF
smaller powers from the League, and
after the Assembly had listened to
biting criticism of great powers from
the South African delegates because
of their recession from sanctions.
Eden pledged to Premier Leon Blum
of France the full cooperation of
Great Britain Gin rebuilding an au-
thoritary League"
The League, he said, should not be
abandoned because it had failed once.

ers This is not true, since neither I,
my manager, Mr.. Lumpkin or Mr..
Valentine, my associate manager
know anything about such a trip. And
any one who knows anything about
our lack of finances knows that we
have not received any such contribu-
lions.
'We could have obtained very
substantial campaign donation from
some of the liquor interests in the
campaign prior to the first primary,
however, if 1 had agreed to come out
in favor of State control and State
liquor stores,' Mcdonald continued.
But 1 refused to do this since I was
convinced that the county stores, un-
der county control, were preferable to
any State system under State control,
with the result that we have not re-
ceived any Campaign donations what
ever from the liquor interests"
The report to which DIR. Mcdonald

which was current here some ten days

leigh man went to Washington a few

that they did not feel they would be
justified in donating to the campaign

defeated in the second primary. So
this man returned to Raleigh without
any campaign donation from the Ii

gust at the manner in which DR.. Nc

port"
The betting odds on Hoey have
gone up from two ID one to three to
one during the past few days. Many
of those who have been studying the
trend during the past week and who
think the total vote will reach 4OO,O 900
are confident that if the vote is that
large, Hoey's majority will be between
$4,000 and $4,000. If the vote is only
100000, Hoey majority is expected to
be only about $4,000. It is believed
that if 100000 votes are cast. McDon-
aid will get at least 10000 and if the
vote reaches 100000, he is expected to
get from 100000 to 10000.
