Woman Evangelist
QU0rreLS With Her
Publicity Agent
MEDDl-ER
IN
FOREIGN
AFFAIRS

Vivian Denton, former publicity
agent for Angelus Temple, filed suit
for 100000 damages against Aimee
Semple Mcpherson in Los Angeles,
Thursday, charging SANDER.
Miss Denton, former New York
night club entertainer, accused the
evangelist-pastor and founder of
the temple-of saying:
"You are like madam of a house
of i'll fame"
"You are coarse and common
woman"
"You are devil out of hell"
"You are not Christian; only a
brat"
"You are an imp of satan and a
creature out of hell"
These remarks caused Miss Den
ton great and grievious mental and
physical suffering" she charged.
On February 10 Miss Denton took
poison after what she described to
police as a lengthy quarrel with
Mrs. Mcpherson.
"She said things to me that I just
could not stand to take, and fired
me-" said Miss Denton at the time.
Miss Denton still is under the care
of nurse.
After the poison episode, Mrs.
Mcpherson and her co-minister,
Rheba Crawford Splivalo-known
as the "Angel of Broadway"-both
denied that a dispute between
themselves was responsible for Miss
Denton's argument with Mrs. Nc
Pherson.
Relations at the Temple are ami
cable, they said.
Miss Denton said she was fired
because she appeared to lean to-
ward Miss Crawford in a threaten
ed rift with Mrs. Mcpherson.
February IL, Mrs. Mcpherson
sent message and a gift chicken to
Miss Denton. The messages assured
Miss Denton she could have her job
back when she recovered.
But Miss Denton said her throat
burned too much for her to eat the
chicken. And as for the offer:
''I'm not going back to that old
temple-there's no need of her
holding out the olive branch now"

At Dem. Convention

Alfred E. Smith appeared Mon

The Tammany designation of him
as delegate was generally believ-

keep him out has been given.
1t was noted that the Tammany

OUR TAX BURDEN

It is with relief that we learn
that the President is planning to
cut government expenses in every
line possible and that government
officials are hopeful that even the
big tax burden that is being thrust
upon us will not call for unecessar-
lily added heavy taxation.
The Industrial News Review
thinks that the most accurate way
to evaluate a country's tax burden
is in the light of the relation of
taxes to the national income. On
that basis, the U. S. tax problem is
becoming steadily worse.
A United States News tabulation
says that when our national income
reached its 1929 peak of $4,000

Italy Says No Peace
Terms For Ethiopia

No possibility is seen that peace
negotiations will follow a reported
Italian victory in northern Ethiopia
according to reliable sources.
A rumor that Emperor Halle Sc
lassie has already begun to sue for
peace has been denied.
The communication last week
said that Italian planes were con-
tinuing to bomb "the enemy in
flight to the SOUTH around Makale
and that troops had reached Ethio-
plan lines of communication be-
tween Socota and the northwestern
Tembien front without molestation.
What was said to be the report of
a British commission appointed in
the spring of 1885 ''to study British
interests in Ethiopia" was printed
Thursday by the newspaper Giorn-
ale d'Italia.
The newspaper published what it
said were these conclusions of the
British committee in report to the
foreign office July 10, 1885, less
than three months before the war
began.
British Conclusions
/. Italy will do all possible to
gain control of Ethiopia, even
though contenting herself with a
partial conquest now.
2. There are no vital British in
terests in Ethiopia and the frontiers
they (Italy) seek to gain may bal
ance trade losses resulting from a
conquest.
3. Great Britain needs Ethiopian
independence, principally in case of
an Aglo-Italian war-an eventuali-
ty which appears improbable.
4. British interest are conferred in
Lake Tana, which Britain must con-
troll with a two-dam corridor.
5. Italy, established in Ethiopia,
would force Britain to safeguard
sources of the Nile.
g. Britain might bargain better
with Italy than with the Negus for
construction of LAX Tana dam.
7. Frontier pasturage right for
tribes of British Somaliland and an
"open door" in Ethiopia must be in
sured.
8. The borders of British Somali-
land, Kenya and the Sudan should
be rectifed in accordance with
Economic and ethnic affinities"

100000, taxation accounted for 12.4
per cent of it. In 1888, national in
come touched it's postwar low,
dropping to $43,5OO,OOO,OOO, and
taxes took 1876 per cent. In 1884 and
1885, taxes took 10 per cent and 1911
per cent of the national income, re-
spectively.
Highest taxed nation is England,
where Is per cent of national in
come goes for taxation. But England
has balanced budget, while in the
U. S. government spending is far
outrunning revenue and creating
deficits which must be paid for in
the future.
