by France; Relates to
Dispute Over Colonies

Paris, Feb. 18.-(AP) = France
made her first major move today
in the dispute with Italy over the
east African possession of Somaliland
by re-occupying II 1-2 miles of
coast line and 800 square kilometers
(308.8 square miles) of hinterland
coded to Italy in 1885.
Fixed garrisons were established
at vital points in the territory, which
is in French Somaliland and Italian
Eritrea. There was no opposition be-
cause Italy never moved in troops to
take over the area. The zone, which
lies north of Djibouti, runs from Der
Eloua north to Ras Doumeira and
extends inland to a point on the
Vienna river
1t faces directly on a strait, the
strategic narrow passageWay through
which shipping must go between the

Brief Addresses Are

Key West, Fla. Feb. 49,
(AP) = President Roosevelt
served notice on the world in
two speeches here today that
the Americas were united in a
common aspiration to defend
and maintain the self-govern-

The twin addresses, one following
Immediately upon the other, were

the American fleet test its strength

One was a three-minute address

at San Francisco. The other was in
connection with the exposition at
Tampa, Fla, concentrating the
4OOth anniversary of the landing

He said the United States and
other American republics were op-

"they are united in a common as

show our faith in democracy, we
have made the policy of the good
