PARIS, Nov. 8.-Vice Premier
Leon Blum pleaded last night with
the Socialist party's National Coun-
Gil to keep alive the Peoples Front
government OF Premier Camille Chau-
temps.
Blum. who headed the preceding
Peoples Front government. defended
the present cabinet against criticisms
from the revolutionary left" wing Of
his own party.
He appealed to the council for re-
lection of Extremists demands for
withdrawal of support from the gov
ernment for policies contrary to the
Peoples Front"
In foreign affairs, Blum warned
against the actions of "totalitarian
states.'
1--WE must do nothing to alter the
Franco-Soviet treaty., he said. What
we can do most to favor the cause
of peace is to favor confident rela-
tions with Russia and England"
A cabinet member declared France
soon would be equipped for a radio
counteroffensive against italian Fas-
cist propaganda in Frances own coll
onies.
Police confiscated hundreds of Roy
alist pamphlets accusing the Peoples
Front government Of leading France
toward war and briefly held 100
youths arrested in a roundup today.
They then found that the same
pamphlet was published in thousands
of copies of today's issue of the Roy
alist newspaper, L'Action Francaise,
and released all but one Of the pris-
oners. Police officials said they were
"disheartened."
The newspaper charged that Vice
Premier Leon Blum, Foreign Affairs

ETHIOPIA
FOR COLONIZATION
$4,000 Striving to Make

of public improvements, including
roads, hospitals and schools, to make
the new domain livable, probably
within year.
Of an appropriation of 100000, 900
recently decreed by II Duce, to be
spent over period of six years, S400.-
100000 was set aside for road build
ing and maintenance.
More than 1000 miles of roads now
radiate from Adds Ababa, the capi-
tai. Two-day bus service has been
established on the new imperial high
way, connecting Adds Ababa with
Massawa, Eritrean port on the Red
Sea-reducing Ethiopia's dependence
on the French-owned railroad con-
Meeting Adds Ababa and Djibouti,
port in French Somaliland. Another
road nearing completion parallels the
railroad between Adds Ababa and
Djibouti.
Before the Italian conquest, which
started in the fall of 1885, Ethiopia
was shut off from the sea. But now
the 350,000 square miles of Ethiopia
most sizeable chunk of Italy's East
African domain-has two important
outlets to the sea through Eritrea
and Italian Somaliland, parts Of
italian East Africa.
Back in Adds Ababa from an en-
pire-wide tour, Viceroy Rodolfo Grazi-
ami said the domain was ready for ex-
ploitation on a paying basis.
In four regions-Tessenei, Auasc,
Metemma and Cobo-he reported cot
ton plantations flourishing, aided by a

justified hope the territory soon would
be self-sufflcient in cereals.
Several mining companies are pros
pecting or operating, and Adds Ababa
is receiving a moderate flow of gold
and platinum from the Jubdo and
other western regions.
II Duce's program, however, calls for
concentration on agriculture.
The government has stimulated pro-
duction of hides, coffee, wax and oil
producing oleus seeds for export
The first year of Italian occupation Of
Ethiopia brought SIS, ,780,00 in foreign
currency from exports.

progress was an October government

the country Is emerging.
This communique said natives who
participated in the uprising were

tary Anthony Eden told the House
Of Commons today that Spanish in
surgent Generalissimo Francisco
Franco had sent note expressing
regret for the sinking of the British
merchantmen, Jean Weems, Octo-
ber 81.
He said the insurgents offered to
submit the questions Of liability and
compensation to arbitration.
Pilots Identity Guarded.
The foreign secretary turned aside
questions as to the identity of the
pilot of the attacking plane who.
some have hinted, might have been
Bruno Mussolini, son of the Italian
Premier.
Eden also disclosed the way was
now clear for the proposed exchange
of commercial agents between Great
Britain and Frances regime.
He declared the insurgent leader
had ordered the release of seven
British freighters seized on the North
Spanish Coast and had ordered the
equivalent of two seized cargoes of
iron ore placed at the disposal of the
British Ambassador to Spain in Hen
daye.
Exchange Held Essential.
The foreign secretary declared the
commercial exchange. which had been
held up by the matter of the cap
tured ships, was essential to British
economic interests involved in the
part of Spain now controlled by
Franco.

ment meant diplomatic recognition for
the insurgents. He said Britain would

BRUSSELS PARLEY
FIGHTING FOR LIFE
Efforts of u. S. Delegation
Have Prevented Long Ad-
journment.
By CONSTANTINE BROWN.


Reports received from Brussels dur
ing the week end indicate that the
Nine-Power Conference, not yet a
week old, is painting and struggling for
breath.
So far the efforts of the American
delegation have prevented long ad-
journment, but the signature of the
German Japanese nti-Communist
agreement by Italy has caused deep
impression throughout Europe.
France and Great Britain, which
joined the Far East parley with en-
thusiasm in the hope that deter
mined attitude" of the world democraI
cies might have a salutary influence
upon the relationships, we're stunned
by this gesture of II Duce. The ar
rival of small German squadron near
Naples "a hours after the new pact was
signed has thrown the Mediterranean
nations into further commotion.
The French and British navy de-
partments consider this gesture by
Hitler another indication that there is
more than platonic cooperation to
fight Communism" between the world
relationships.
Dictators Driven Together.
The Brussels conference, 1t is felt in
London and Paris, instead of cowing
the totalitarian states, has produced a
greater unity among the dictators
Not only has the Brussels gather
ing failed so far in all its objectives,
but instead of cowing the dictators it
has brought them closer together.
Faced with a German-Italian mill
tary solidarity in the Mediterranean
the British and the French are not
at all in a mood to cooperate in the
Far East. They would like to let
everything drop and leave China to
her own fate.
France, in particular, is extremely
nervous. According to recent reports,
she fully expects some other violent
manifestations from Germany and
Italy. She is worried once more about
Minorca-the last loyalist stronghold
in the Balearics-and about Czecho-
slovakia.
American diplomats are less alarmed
about the fighting mood of the die
tators. They still believe that the
whole thing is a colossal bluff; that
there is very little behind this Show
Ing of force; that MuSsolini and Hitler
are taking advantage of the panicky
feeling which exists in France and
in Great Britain and are exploiting
1t for all that it is worth.
U. S. Backing Demanded.
To calm counsels from our diplomats
abroad the terrorized Europeans reply
that if Washington took the threats SC
lightly why does not the United States
not help them make a counter threat
by announcing its strong determina-
tion to stand by the nations which
have the respect of treaties as their
principal diplomatic platform.
These questions are being fired at
our Brussels delegation, which has
definite instructions not to let itself be
maneuvered into any European en-
tanglements.
Unless something unexpected hap
pens within the next two or three DAYS
there is little hope left that the Brus-
sells conference will do anything more
than pass some resolutions in approved
League of Nations style.
The new demonstration of unity on
the part of the totalitarian states has
rendered the contemplated "side con-
ferences" practically valueleSs.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 8.-The presence
of Soviet Russia at the Brussels con-
ference on the Chinese-Japanese con-
f. loomed today as a likely barrier
to peace talks between the conference
and Japan.
Authoritative Japanese circles said
they believed Japan was ready to ex-
change information concerning the
conflict in China with signatories of
the nine-power treaty of 1922-under
which the Brussels conference was
called-but not with non-signatories
like Russia.
Japan Admits Obligation.
The Japanese admitted their obli-
cation under Article of the treaty,
which calls for full and frank" COM
munication between the contracting
powers in event of crisis affecting
China. The treaty pledged its sigma
tories to respect the territorial and
administrative integrity of China.
Japan, signatory, declined to at
tend the Brussels meeting, which Sat-
urday sent her a note asking whether
she would name ENJOYS to discuss the
Far Eastern conflict with representa-
tives of "a smaller number of powers"
than the 10 taking part in the con-
ference.
Russia and Germany, non-signa-
tories of the 1922 pact, were invited
to Brussels because of their Far East
ern interests. Russia accepted; Ger
many declined.
Japanese authorities here declared,
however, that willingness to discuss
the crisis did not mean readiness to
accept mediation of other nine-power
signatories in the conflict, which Japan
believes should be settled only by direct
Chinese-Japanese negotiations.
Another point made by the japanese
was that there was no justification
for apprehension that direct peace ne
gotiations between Japan and China
would harm the interests of nations
with special rights and heavy invest
ments in China.
The Japanese said they understood
some delegates voiced such fears at
secret meetings.

A foreign office spokesman declared,
however, that he saw no reason for
Japan to alter her present absence
from the conference. He intimated
Japanese displeasure at the presence
of a Russian delegation at Brussels,
pointing out that Japan was not con-
suited about inviting Soviet repre-
sentation.
