JEWISH
SETTLEMENT SEEN
Rome Expects Some Move,
but Racial L leaders Doubt
Its Success.
BY FRANK SMOTHERS.


Chicago Daily News Stan Correspondent.
ROME, Sept. 1.-THE persistent re-
ports that the Fascist government is
preparing to facilitate the settlement
Of Jews in part Of Ethiopia today
brought q reply from authoritative
circles Of the possibility that such
project Is not excluded.
It Is contended, however, that the
final decision has not been reached.
The impression is general that some
scheme for Jewish settlement in
Ethiopia will be forthcoming. OBJ
servers. however, doubt that it can
assume important proportions. They
doubt that more than a handful of
Jews from Italy or elsewhere could
be induced to stake their futures and
capital in Ethiopia in view of the
Italian crusade against Jews as a
people whose Echildren must even be
excluded from legally recognized
Italian schools for fear Of tontamina-
ton.
One Jew remarked: why use Jew
ish money to help build an empire for
Italy when aside from everything else
we would have no assurance against
expulsion from Ethiopia henceforth." )"
Another possible explanation for the
fact that Ethiopia was not mentioned
in the DEGREES ordering the expulsion
within six months of Jews who have
come to Italy, Libya and Italys Aegean
possessions since 1919 and revoking the
citizenship granted to foreign Jews
since that date, it is pointed out that
there are considerable number of
native-born Jews in Ethiopia. Pos
sibly, it would have been suggested,
Rome feels that applying the law to
Ethiopia would disturb the situation
there unduly.
Meantime, laudatory headlines and
news stories are devoted to the pro-
ceedings in Nuremberg. Reichsfuehrer
Adolph Hitler's emphasis on the soli-
darity between Fascism and Nazi Ger
many is headlined. The press suggests
that the French calling up of reserv-
lists IS perilous effort at intimidation.
1t speaks OF the serene German warn
ing" to the French. Attention is also
drawn to the maneuvers of the British
home fleet.

THE men who run politics
Il seldom have known less
about an election than they
have been able to learn about
this one, now only three weeks
away. They cannot clock it
closely.
Inside Democratic figures (not
the ones they give out for pub
lication) indicate they are sure
to lose % House seats and may
lose 18 more. Total expected
loss is 40.
But the Republicans are just

mate that they will gain from

vases by the opposing factions.
Polls being published are little
help. They are not as convinc-
ing as in presidential years, be-
cause no poll has been made
district by district as the votes
will be counted, but only by
States and geographical areas.
The polls are not real polls, but
merely area surveys upon which
district gueSseS are being based.
BY simple arithmetic, oppos-
ing partisan expectations may
be reduced to an average COM
posite guess Of a Republican
gain Of 65 seats. While this
might be the best-bet guess, it
would not be worth wagering
much money.
The situation is more accu-
rately presented by a ranging es-

that is fellows who lied about fights they had

Our old man was struck by one similarity in
nearly all fighting lies. He said he had found
that almost invariably the fighting liar had his
fights with great big guys. Our old man said
that in years of listening to fight lies he had
never heard but one man say that the fellow
he fought was a little bit Of a chap, and even
then he added that the little chap had two guns
