Belgium Plans
 Forts on Border

BRUSSELS, Nov. 12.-The pos sibility that the Belgian Govern ment will ask Parliament to fortify the French frontier as it has done on the German border is debated in parliamentary circles.
 Usually informed sources fore cast, however. the Cabinet probably will affirm the Governments desire to stand by it's existing accords, with an equal wish to keep out of any new alliances.
 A proposal for fertilization of the French frontier, informed persons said, would be a concession to the Fleming people, whose land lies along the German border and are more pro-German than Belgium's other residents.
 The special parliamentary ses- sion was called to vote extraordi- nary rearmament funds and to in- crease the term of compulsory mili- tary service from 12 to 18 months

Vancouver unionists vot- ing Wednesday night on whether to join strikers. If so 1t looks like you are bottled up for some time. If strike vote is delayed it may be pos- sible to get Norah sailing postponed and fill her up with needed perish ables but haste is necessary to get government to ship stuff in Canad- ian bottoms
 The Chamber decided, that in view of the more recent. action of supply, ing weekly service on the Alaska Railroad, it would not protest the closing of the railroad but rather voted to notify the management that it appreciated efforts in main- taining partial service during the strike emergency.
 The matter of a proposed experi- mental fox farm in Southeast Alas ka was deferred until a committee could make more thorough inves- tigation of the matter. Request for action had been made by the Peters burg Chamber.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa. March T.
Joseph B. Eastman said tonight that
1.-The time is now ripe" to push rail-
road coordination projects.
Addressing the Sioux City Chamber
of Commerce, the Federal transporta-

cation projects thus far have been
delayed because they require much
study and preparation, and because
of restrictions against reduction of

Unless extended by Congress. East

LAS see it," he declared tonight.
"the time is now ripe for definite and
persistent action.
THE tide of railroad traffic is ris-

and wasteful work can be avoided
with less disturbance of employment.

the swelling traffic to take the place
of much that is eliminated"

.DUCE CONDITIONS
PEACE APPROVAL
Italy in Ethiopia to Stay, He
Indicates in Reply to
League Plea.
BY the Associated Press.


ROME, March 7.-Flanked by an
imposing array Of conditions, Italy's
reply to- the League of Nations ap-
peal for peace in Ethiopia was dis
patched to Geneva today in tenor
bespeakjng Premier Mussolini's de-
termination to get what he started
after.
The reply resolved itself down to
this. after a meeting of the cabinet:
First, ItaIy's peace conversations
will be conditioned on the realiza-
ton by both the League and EN-
peror Halle Selassie that Italy is in
Ethiopia to stay, both in territories
already conquered and in others
where a semi-mandatory influence
will be welded; the territory where
Italy's influence must be felt, it was
explained, is defined by past trea-
ties"
Armies Not TO Stagnate.
Second, Italy does not intend to
let her African armies stagnate. If
Ethiopia wants peace, it must seek it
with an eye on the Italian mailed
fist
II Duce made it plain that equal
ity" as between Italy and Ethiopia
does not exist in the Italian lexicon.
Hostilities cannot cease, he said, un-
til Italy's needs and demands are
satisfied.
Thus did Mussolini accept lin prin-
ciple" the appeal of the League of
Nations for peace in East Africa.
Significant was the point that the
Italian conditions include the zone of
influence which would have fallen to
Italy under the peace proposal formu-
lated by Sir Samuel Hoare, the then
British foreign minister, and Pierre
Laval, then the French premier.
An excellent authority divulged the
inclusion of the Lake Tana area. The
lake is the headwater of the river
Nile.
Ethiopia Accepted Proposals.
Ethiopia had accepted the peace pro-
posals of the League of Nations Com
mittee of 13 without reservation.
The League asked for consideration
of peace formula, holding in abey-
aace for the moment the question of
imposing additional sanctions against
Italy.
Prior to Mussolini's announcement,
informed sources said he would insist
existing economic penalties be lifted
before peace could be discussed.
Marshal Pietro Badoglio, command
er-n-chief of the italian armies in
East Africa, telegraphed today that
Tigrean Gala tribesmen continued to
harass fleeing armies Of the enemy in
