Sellassie of Ethiopia may tour A
merica on a lecture tour, it is ru-I
mored here. The emperor has been
offered 100000 for such a trip, it
is claimed. Whether this PROPOSE
ton is designed to keep Selassie
from returning to Ethiopia to lead
his armies in the West, as he an
nounced at Geneva he would do, is
a matter for speculation. If the
empeorr tours America, it is likely
that his daughter, Princess Tsahai,
will go with him. 1t is said such
