question arises whether the Federal
agency will permit the financing.
SEC officials have declined to
comment on the status of the deal,
but unofficial advices from Wash
ington suggest that they probably
will permit it to go through.
TT is to be hope6 that these adj
i. vices prove accurate, irrespective
OF the fact that the American
Water Works and Electric Co. has
instituted suit in the District Su-
preme Court in Washington to re-
strain the SEC from enforcing the
provisions of the public utility act.
A difference Of opinion over the
constitutionality of the act should
not stand in the way of orderly
financing.
The United States Supreme Court
ultimately will be obliged to rule
on the legal issue, but the utility's
issues will mature, in all proba-
bility, before this decision is handed
down. If approval of the financing
is denied the company probably
would not be able to meet these
maturing obligations.
DEFIANCE of the government
- can hardly be said to be in
volved. one of the lower courts
already has ruled the act unconsti-
tutional, which would seem to
Justify a further test of the law
And supervision of the financing by
the SEC is provided for under the
provisions of the securities and ex-
change act.
The company, of course, believes
the SEC could not interfere with
the issue if it wished to do so. The
public utility act OF 1885 provides
that any registered holding COM
pany or its subsidiaries must obtain
the approval of the SEC before
marketing securities. But this COM
pany has not registered so it con-
tends it is not affected by the
provisions of the act.
1t is doubtful that the Federal
agency would try to halt the deal
merely to prove its authority. II
has done its best ever since coming
into being to facilitate financial
operations in which it has had con-
fidence, and it has eased the
burden of supervision as much as
possible without ignoring the pur-
poses for which it was created.

ITALIAN ARMY REACHES LAKE TANA AREA
ENGLISH ITALIAN WAR OVER
MASTERY OF MEDITERRANEAN
BASIN Is SEEN BY DIPLOMATS
Believed Next Step by Fas-
cists Ii Ethiopia Is
Conquered

ROME, April 10, - (UP) -
ltaly'S conquest Of Ethiopia would
be merely the beginning of more
gigantic struggle between Italy
and England for control of the
Mediterranean, which might be
settled ony by war between these
two former Mediterranean allies,
diplomats asserted last night.
Roth nations, with as little pub
hclty as possible, are preparing
feverishly TO guard their Mediter-
ranean positions and communlca-
tons, each with an eye on the
possibility Of some future test to
determine whether England or
italy will control this water Gem
ctery IF so many ancient clvlllza-
tons.
In striking at the heart of Eth
opia, Premier Benito Mussolini,
the British believe, is playing his
first card designed eventually to
gain control Of the southeastern
Mediterranean.
England docs not want another
&trong Mediterranean power, and
Italians are convinced that ex-
plains the British anti-ltallan at
titude in the Ttalo- Ethiopian war.
It also would explain why Brit
ain and Italy are fortifying and
consolidating their offensive and
defensive set-ups in the Mediter-
ranean.
British sources reported uncon-
firmedly today that Italy has de-
vclopcd strong naval Notifications
in the Mediterranean and the Ad-
riatic and improved and con-
structed new air bases in Sicily,
Sardinia, Eritrea and Libya-all
within a few hours flying distance
of any point in the Mediterra-
mean,
Italians believe generally that
Britain wouldn't even make an
effort to keep the island of Malta.
near Italy, in event Of war. as
Italian airplanes, submarines and
light cruisers would dominate the
island.
British sources also said Italy
is maintaining many more air.
planes and submarines at TrlpolI
and Benghasi than are necessary
under normal conditions.
Fortifications and fighting units
at these points greatly would aid
italy in controlling the narrow
stretch Of the Mediterranean be-
tween Sardinia and the African
coast, through which British yes
sells must pass to reach the Suez
canal from Gibraltar, OF vice
versa.
Even Britons do not believe,
however, that Italy entertalns
hope of gaining control of the en-
trance to the Mediterranean at
Gibraltar.
Italy's strong air and naval
forces at Massawa, Eritrea, might
control partially the eastern end
of the Suez canal.
Italian newspaper reports from
London allege that Britain has
completed fertilization of Cyprus
island. near Greece, and Haifa,
Palestine. and important military
and naval works in Egypt and the
lo-Egyptian Sudan. Accord
ing to La Tribunals correspondent
at London, the British repeatedly
have erected eight subterranean
artillery batteries at Palma, East
Africa.
The guns repeatedly were in.

Murder Inquiry
