Their joint purpose is to stir up the Philippians in the hinterland re- gionS so they will revolt against Italian rule.
 The hint is that the British have been moving supplies near the from tier so the war-like Ethiopian tribes can get arms.
 The hope is that with the Suez Canal closed to Italian ships, Musso- lini will not be able to get rein forcements, arms, or supplies to his forces in Ethiopia.
 With some help from British forces stationed in Egypt and the Sudan, the dream is to whip the Italians and restore Ethiopia to its rightful rulers, thus smashing Mus solini's vision of a great African em- pire.

 At a luncheon in London an en- terprising American woman got his autograph while the shocked Lord Robert Cecil, who presided, expos trllated to the female go-getter:
 "Oh, but you shouldn'tl Oh, but you mustn'tl He's king, you know!"
 Halle sadly took his kingship
