A formal appeal to both bellgerents
to open peace negotiations was sent to
Italy and Ethiopia. The latter replied al
most at Once by telegram &C :cepting on
condition Of rigid respect for the League
Of Nations covenant. Shortly after this
Premier Mussolini also sent his accep.
tsnce Tin principle. Just prior TO the
leagues peace gesture some intricate d.
plomatic maneuver'ng went on. Mussn-
lini Informed the French he would leave
the league, repudlate the Locarno treaty
denounce the Franco Ita ian military
agreement and send troops back to their
common border if oil sanctions were i'm
posed. On the basis of this threat the
French persuaded British Foreign
Secretary A n t b o ny E den not
TO push the oil ques on as
serious situation might ensue if Musso-
lini were on the rampage and Germany
should attempt to kick over the traces.
The accuracy of this latter prediction
was only too plainly shown a few days
later when German troops marched into the
Rhine.
The League of Nations stopped talk of
sanctions and other meaures long enough
to move into its new s10,000,000 palace

Lie Is Gipen to Charges Made by Herbert Hoouer;
 Morgentlau Takes Issue

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2o.--Issuing a general denial of Herbert Hoover's charges that the Administration has juggled fiscal reports Secretary of Treasury Morgenthau today said the former Presidents statement might injure the Governments credit if permitted to go unchal- lenged.
 Secretary Morgenthau denie q Hoover's assertions, made in cam paign speech at Philadelphia last Friday night, criticising the method of keeping the Governments fiscal accounts. He denied Hoover charge that the Treasury was using a system of double bookkeeping in separating emergency from the or dinary or routine Government ex- penditures.
 For Public Purposes
 Secretary Morgenthau said two classifications were adopted in July 1883, to show the public the pur- pose for which appropriations were used
 The Treasury Chief said the De- partment does not ordinarily an swer statements about Government expenditures made in the heat o1 political campaigns and added When, however, a former Presi- dent of the United States, in a public address charges the Treasury of the United States with intellec- tual dishonesty and pernicious de- ceit, the public interest demands those charges be not ignored.
 Strictly With Lo1D
 Treasurer Morgenthau further said: The facts are the Treasury accounts are kept strictly in ac- cordance with the law and are moi based upon any partisan and poli- tical considerations"
 Hoover, in his speech, said the New Deal has three formulas fol making expenditures look less than they are"
 
 He listed these as, first-omittine certain items from the list of regu- lar expenditures and placing then in an appendix of the Budget; sec cnd-deducting certain expenditure. before tl1e total is made up, which is announced to the public; third using money from relief funds fol other purposes.
 Hoover also charged the Nev Deals bookkeeping is flor politica purposes and misleading the peo pie through implication as to wha their expenditures are likely to b. in the future"

CAUSED CABINET ROW

This begins to look like some of the fire and birthstone which had been promised so lavishly by the advance agents of the campaign.
 It is hardly a secret that SIX months ago even the inner circles of the Administration in Washington were greatly agitated over MT Hop kins' relief set-up. The story never has been published, but there is reason to believe that on at least one occasion the dispute came with in inches of resulting in Cabinet resignation.
 A debate of proportions smoul- dered and then broke out again and again in Congress. Tn every community people were quarreline about relief. One of those closest to MT. Landon predicted that. ii nominated. he would plunge into the relief situation at once, and lay it on hot and heavy throughout the campaign.
 Actually. the Republican nominee did make a beginning in that di- rection in his speech of acceptance Other parts of his address seemed to attract greater public attention however, and awaken louder ech- oes in the opposition camp Then the drought and one thing and an other turned the debate into differ ent and somewhat confused chan nels. Boondoggling was showed te one side, as had been the constitu- tional issue before it. U.

Fire and Birthstone May
 Yet Deuelop Ouer Relief
 Problem; Issue Is Popping
By BYRON PRICE tChief of Bureau. The Associted Press, Washington

Will the relief problem emerge after all. as the paramount issue o this campaign?
 Months ago many predicted il would, but the summer passed with out much indication that the pro- phecy would be fulfilled Political discussion diffused itself over very wide area, taking in everything from the Dupont dynasty to Commun- ism. Boondoggling was heard oi now and then, but mostly it re- mained lost in the cloud of words about other things.
 October, however, has developed some signs that the relief policies and practices of the Roosevelt Ad- ministration are to be debated botf widely and with bitter insistence between now and election day.
 The Republican National Com mittee has opened up so fierce g oarrage, naming individuals and places, that some of those named are threatening to sue for libel. A Senate Committee has come under increasing pressure to look into charges of relief politics in Penn sylvania Governor Landon has joined in a demand for greater publicity of relief payrolls
 On the other side, Relief Admin strator Hopkins has made a blan- ket denial and counter-charge, and a West Virginia audience has booed Senator Holt from the platform with his speech attacking relief op- erations undelivered
