greatly enlarged government debt in
Cured for the Ethiopian campaign.
Either this must come from the Italian
people through taxes or in some other
way.
Can Ethiopia furnish it? OF course
OUTLAWS in Ethiopia must 60 on and
they will be heavy because of the ma
ture of the problem and the great dis
lance from Italy. How about Offset
ting gains? MuSsolini has announced
that 100000 of the Italian soldiers are
to stay there as settlers but they must
be given financial aid which means
more expense. These Italians did not
voluntarily go to Ethiopia because of
better living conditions there. Nor is
there any evidence that they would
prefer to stay there if given choice
in The matter From 1904 to 1918 Ger
many's population increased each
year by 733.500. but only 25,624 per
year emigrated to all countries with
but 33 going to German colonies. On
January l. 1918. there were only 1886
Germans in the pre-war German COL
onies of whom nearly is per cent
were German soldiers and police.
How about trade? The outlook is
dubious. No estimate is more than a
guess. But the experiences of other
countries with similar colonies is not
encouraging Italy depends heavily on
imports, receiving about $40 per per-
son in 1929 But in 1929 France. with
huge colonial area in Africa. re-
ceived only $45 per capita. In the
same year Sweden received $45 per
capita. Norway $50. Switzerland SIS
and Denmark $50 None of these four
has colonies or at least none of i'm
portance. Export figures show the
same situation. Countries without
colonies have as much or more inn
ports and exports per capita as coun
tries with colonies.
Such figures are not final and posi-
tive proof. But they create a very
strong presumption that colonies are
not an economic gain and that Ethi-
opia will not be an exception. Cams.

ers in the Far East have undergone
great changes.
Most prominent at the moment is
the conquest of Ethiopia. Complete
pacifcaton of the country may take
months or years.
And it is more than doubtful if 1t
pays Italy in the end Comparatively
little is known about the resources of
Ethiopia. Extravagant accounts have
been given of its actual or potential
wealth.
In any case the gains will have to
be very large TO offset the costs al
ready incurred by the Italian govern
ment We do not know with any pre-
cision what these costs have been but
there are some very clear indications
that they have been terrific. The sane
tions imposed on Italy by the mem
bers of the League of Nations may
appear TO have failed of their main
purpose. but Italian exports have been
sharply reduced. Many markets for
Italian goods have been lost and it
will take months or years to regain
them.

For allegedly failing to keep

that Lewis was scheduled to meet

both obligations, Greenlee told

POSTCARD BAN
IN SCHOOLS
IS LIFTED
BaIIou Says Rule Is
Unfair to Residents
of the District

Admission of postgraduate stu
dents in District schools has been
authorized by the Board of Educa-
ton in line with its policy of con-
ditionally admitting nonresident
pupils to the local public schools.
The action was taken yesterday
at the boards meeting on recon-
mendation of DR.. Frank w. Bal
lou, superintendent of schools,
who declared it would be unfair
to admit the non-residents and
bar the District graduates. The
postgraduates have been barred
from the school since September
because of overcrowded condi-
tionS.
EvOkeS Lively Battle
The Ballou suggestion evoked
a lively battle between board
members. George w. Whitwell
and Hnery l. Quinn, board men,
berS, opposed the proposal on the
grounds that it would weaken the
Districts arguments in Congress
for additional school buildings and
teachers.
The board voted to admit the
postgraduates only in classes
where there is room.
John F. Brougher, public school
statistician, was appointed by the
board to be assistant principal Of
Central High School. The ap-
pointment was opposed by Quinn,
who commended others in the
school system were not given con-
Sideration for the position.
Brougher is a native Pennsyl-
vanian and received his tutoring
experience at Columbia Univer-
sity.
new renee Urgeu
An appeal by school officials
for aid in getting a fence built
around the Central High School
stadium resulted in agreement by
the board to, write the District
Commissioners, urging such a pro-
ject. The school authorities re-
norted thew made little headwaV
in getting the fence through past
efforts.
Approval was voted to the ex-
tension of class periods from 43
to SIS minutes at the Alice Deal
Junior High School, as an expert
ment in affording more time for
supervised study. The extension
was proposed by Miss BERTHE
Backus, principal of the school, to
intensity concentration powers Of
students.

REPLACEMENT
PROPOSALS
DELAYED
Action Held Unlikely
Pending Ruling on
Rate Increase

After a closed-door meeting be-
tween four Capital Transit Com
pany directors and the Public Utili-
ties Commission, speculation arose
today at the District Building that
the company will wait until its
petition for increased car and bus
fares is acted upon before working
on a program for replacing anti
quated street cars.
At the secret session, held late
yesterday in the commission Of
fees, E. C. Graham, Robert V.
Fleming, C. c. Glover, jr., and S.
Percy Thompson, company direc.
tors, we're closeted with Riley E.
Elgen, chairman and Richmond B.
Keech, vice chairman, of the COM
mission for nearly three hours.
Higher Fares Asked
None would discuss in detail
what transpired at the session.
Graham said today that "a lot of
things" were discussed, while Elgen
and Keech admitted that both
the increased fares petition and
the car-replacement program were
among the topics.
It was learned that the directors
sought to have the commission set
definite date for the fare case
and it is likley this will start be-
fore the end of this month. The
company has requested that the
commission grant a straight TO-
cent cash fare, three tokens for
Is cents and weekly passes of
SIPS. Tokens now sell at four
for 80 cents while passes for use
on street cars sell for 81.
Replacement Wants
Elgen, in recent personal let
ter to E. D. Merrill, general man
ager of the company, suggested an
immediate program for replace
ment of Anticipated street cars
with modern cars at the rate of
so a year, the first so to be pur-
chased and put in service before
the middle of 1887.
In reply, Merrill stated a replace
ment program had been under
discussion by the company with
out definite action, and that FL
gems proposal would be placed be-
fore a future meeting of the COM
pany directors. He intimated in
his letter and reiterated again to-
day that the company's revenues
must be increased before a re-
placement program could be
launched.
