DEMANDS
RECOGNITION
OF EMPIRE

ROME, July "a GNS).-A
front-page editorial in the news
paper Popolo d'Italia, attributed
to Premier Mussolini, today de-
manded de jure recognition by the
League of Nations Of Italy's Afri-
can empire.
The editorial also demanded
that the Spanish insurgents be
granted the rights of belligerents.
This question Is one which has
brought non-intervention negotia-
tons in London to a virtual i'm.
pasSe.
Warning that Europe must come
to it's senses or perish, Mussolint
declared the League Of Nations
was complicating the European
situation by persisting in the
fiction" that the Ethiopian en-
pire still belongs to Halle Selassie.
Mussolini expressed firm belief
the war debts due the United
States would never be paid. The
editorial said:
"The illusion of believing the
inter-alIied war debts will be
paid some day continues. al.
though everyone knows this is
materially and morally impOS-
Sible."

Economic League of Nations
Urged by King of Belgium

BRUSSELS, July "a QN.SO.
All Europe read with interest to-
day the news of a letter sent by
Leopold, King of the Belgians, to
Premier Paul Van iceland, pro
posing creation of an independent
international body equivalent to
an economic league of nations.
Declaring it would serve to "avert"
war;" the 36-year-old Belgian mon
arch said he believed the United
States and other world powers
would be willing to join the sug-
gested organization.
He intimated the idea was in
line with proposals discussed re-
Gently in Washington by President
Roosevelt and Van iceland as a
basis for stabilizing international
peace. The King claimed there
was q favorable disposition in
the United States" toward the
idea.
Would Hit War Causes
King Leopold wrote that the
task of the proposed body would
be to solve great problems which
menacingly confront humanity"
and diminish or eliminate causes
of war.
The letter revealed that Van
iceland, Princeton-educated Bel
gian statesman, was about to re-
port on results CT his long investi-
cation Of the possibility Of remov-
ing obstacles to international
trade. Great Britain and France
asked him to conduct the inquiry
last April.
Van iceland, who returned re-
Gently from the United States,
comforting with British govern
ment officials enroute home, ex-
pressed complete satisfaction with
his talks with President Roose-
welt.
Program of Wide Scope
King Leopold outlined the scope
of the proposed organization as
one embracing problems Of indus
try, trade, agriculture, finance
and labor.
Taking UP the question Of dis
tribution of raw materials-long
a sore spot in postwar Europe
the King made what appeared to
be friendly gesture to Germany
and Italy by intimating the pro
posed body could effect more equi
table distribution of the worlds
natural resources.
