S500,O00 CANNERY FIRE IN BRISTOL BAY
Weeks Ne,Us in ReUie,U
 by Richord H. Hippelheuser

NEW 1OHOHN, do OA WCCh CllOlAlS July f. by Associated Press) = The ghost of Ethiopia haunted the halls of the League of Nations.
 It was personified by Halle Selas- sic, last of the independent African monarchs, whose Empire was lost to Fascist aggression.
 There were some who sought to dissuade him, but the Abyssianian exile would not be deterred To Geneva he went; and to the League of Nations he made his plea not only for preservation of his Empire, but for preservation of sanctions against Italy, for the preservation of collective international action against aggression.
 With quiet but forceful speech, he declared:
 T assert that the problem submit ted to the assembly today is much wider than merely a question of settlement of Italian aggression; it is collective security, it is the very existence of the League.
 Tt is the principle of equality of States on one hand, or otherwise the obligation made upon small pow CTS to accept the bonds of vassal- ship In word, it is international morality that is at stake.
 Apart from the kingdom of the Lord, there is not on this earth any nation that is superior to any other.
 Should it happen that strong government finds that it may, with impunity, destroy small people, then the hour strikes for that weak people to appeal to the League to give its judgment in all freedom.
 God and history will remember your judgment"
 Following his personal plea, he is sued a declaration to the assembly calling for direct aid of the League in restoring Ethiopian independence, and for a loan of $50,000,000 to re- new the defensive war a ain st Italy's Fascist.
 To the League, this was out of the question. AS Anthony Eden pointed out in his House of Com mons address two weeks ago, none of the League states is prepared to make war on Italy to restore Eth ionian independence.
 Instead the situation approxi- mated this:
 whereby they could condemn anew aggression, adroitly refuse to rec ognize Italy'S annexation of Ethio- pia as they refused to recognize Japans conquest of Manchuria, and still keep Il Duce pacified
 There was hesitancy and delay in approaching this last stand on Italys conquest. It seemed prob able the assembly would allow sev- eral weeks for consideration of pro- posed reforms.
 The three principal powers of the League-Britain, France and Soviet Russia-were pledged to oppose rec ognition of annexation. There was no indication of what changes in the covenant they would agree upon.
 In fact, Frances new Socialist government sought to strengthen the position of the League against aggressor nations, instead of delet- ing the article providing for sanc- tions
 It would do this by a reinforced system of regional pacts, supervised by the League, to guarantee peace by military force.
 If it was the purpose of the Fas- cisti to arouse final fury against them in the League-in the consid- eration of the Ethiopian case-they

PAN-AMERICAN
PR0BLENSARE
MANIFOLD

The Buenos Aires Conference is
expected to have great economic
and political significance, accord
ing to the Alexander Hamilton
Institute.
The problems to be tackled at
the Conference are manifold.
They embrace such questions as
the establishment of effective ma
chinery to settle boundary dis
puteS. The Leticia incident and
the Chaco war have clearly dem
onstrated that the existing de-
vices for settling such disputes
are ineffective and that a work
able arbitration procedure is an
urgent need.
In the past, the settlement Of
such disagreements through re-
course to arms has proven to be
extremely costly, and the peace
full solution Of future disputes is
both necessary and desirable.
The economic questions that
will be taken up are perhaps OF
greater immediate Importance. 1t
is expected that considerable
thought will be given to currency
problems and to inter-American
trade. Lack of foreign exchange
has forced a number of South
American countries to impose
rigid foreign exchange restrictions,
thereby hindering their interna-
tional trade. Also, the position
CT some of the South American
central banks is rather weak since
these various banks hold a great
amount of government obligations
and have very little gold reserve
to back their currencies. There
fore, the need of effecting cur
rency reform and Of strengthening
the central banks are two Of the
foremost economic problems that
confront these nations.
Various plans have been pro-
posed for their solution. A Sug-
gestion has been made to estab-
Jish an international banking in
stitution similar to the Bank of
International Settlements in
Basic. The advocates of this pro-
posal have insisted that the
League of Nations and the Bank
of International Settlements are
primarily European institutions
and that they were not established
to aid the countries in the West
ern Hemisphere.
