ETHIOPIA KEEPS
 UP LIFE BATTLE
(Continued from Page D

Viscount Halifax, British Foreign Secretary. realizing that he faced ! fight, gracefully abandoned his plan to prevent the appearance of an Ethiopian representative at the council table. He realized that the votes of Russia and China, If no other nations, would make 1t impoS- sible to pass the necessary unani- nous resolution releasing League members from their obligation not to recognize Italy's conquest. h. stead, he sought statement by the council president, Vilhelms Hunters of Latvia, summarizing the view points of those powers which favor recognition of Italy's conquest.
 Ethiopia was not the only ex- plosive subject to plague the coun- cil members as they conferred in hotel rooms today, ready for the first secret session of the council late this afternoon.
 Other Discussions
 Julio Alvarez Del Vayo, Loyalist Spanish foreign minister, was ready for an angry fight against alleged Italian and German aid to the Na- tionalists and against the Spanish non-intervention agreement which, he asserted, served only to deprive the legitimately constituted govern ment of Spain of arms.
 This constituted a second threat to the British-Italian friendship treaty because 1t is an attack not only on the non-intervention agree ment generally but the friendship treaty itself.
 China was ready to appeal again for aid against Japanese aggression.
 There were two other delicate problems in the plight of Rumanian and Austrian Jews and the request of the Swiss government for restor- ation of complete '.eutrality to Switzerland despite any pledges 1. had made to support collective ac- ton by the league.
 For the moment, Ethiopia was the big question. From his headquarters in London, Emperor Halle Selassie began last night an opening bom- bardment of statements.
 Britain, with the backing of France, was determined to oppose any effort to continue recognizing Ethiopia as nation; to oppose any effort to submarine the Spanish non intervention agreement, and to oppose any aid to China against Japan.

 It remained for Italy to conclude a friendship treaty with France and for Germany to seek solution of the Czechoslovakian problem and colonial territories preliminary to conclusion of British Ger man-Italian peace agreement.

KAY FRANCIS
TO QUIT FILMS
BY MILTON HARKER
Copyright, 1888. by International
News Service.l

News Service.)
HOLLYWOOD, March 26.-Kay
Francis will abandon her screer
career "to become a good wife
when she marries Baron Erit
Barnekow, German nobleman.
Termination of my present
contract with Warner Brothers
in September also means the
termination of my career" Miss
Francis, one of filmdom's most
beautiful stars, told Interna-
tional News Service today in an
exclusive interview.
Il shall not marry Eric until
my contract expires, because
have made up my mind that
when I marry him I shall devote
myself to being a good wife, to
considering only his wishes and
his plans. Don't you think that
is a woman's duty?
mo date has been set for our
wedding yet, but probably it
won't be until late in the fall.
Il shall never make another
contract with a motion picture
studio. I might someday make
another picture, but that would
hinge upon many circum-
stances"
Miss Francis expects to be
called upon to make two or three
more pictures for Warmers before
her contract. made six years ago
expires.
