likely to contribute much to the easing of racial tensions
Or they could work hard and courageousy interview all
persons who can throw light particular problems and

SUFFERED ATTACK

Interpretation being given to
this section Is that France is be-
ing extended this consideration be-
cause of it's own conflict with Italy
BY the same token, 1t is being ar
gued. Ethiopian which suffered at
the hands of the Italians, should
also be given the opportunity to in
fluence the decisions reached and
be permitted to sign the document.
The obstruction generally con-
sidered in the way is that clearcut
sidered in the way is that clearcut
Italo- Ethiopian war, which began
in 1896, is a part of World War II
which began in September, 1899,
has never been made It is pointed
out on the one hand that for the
purposes of adiudging war crimi-
mails, the War Criminals commiss-
ion which sits in London has
separated the two wars thereby ex-
Guiding certain Italians whom the
Ethiopian government had propos-
ed for trial.
On the other hand. both at the
International aviation conference
in Chicago last year and later at
the San Francisco conference the
majority of delegates are believed
to have felt that the wars were a
part of each other. While there is
no clarity even in the American
position, Adolph A. Berle. presi-
dent of the international aviation
conference and at the time assist
ant secretary of state, expressed
the view that the wars were one
and the same.
Certainly ETHIOPIA Is going to
press for the widest possible rec
ignition of its claims against Italy
both before the council of ministers
and before any future meeting OF
the United Nations to deal with
the peace settlements.

QUESTION DEFINITION

A question confronting Off
cial circles - and FEPC loss
it is learned, is a new defini-
ton for "war industry" There
are those who are maintaining
that the agency should be per
mitted to concern itself with the
problems of "unwinding the war
achinery" just as it contribut-
ed to the establishment of the
machinery.
FEPC was created by an ex
ecutive order authorized by the
First War Powers act. Since its
enactment, congress passed a
Second War Powers act. The first
terminates six months after vi
day and the other year after
the declared end of hostilities.
1t is reconsideration and pos
sibly an extension of this period
that Barley has in mind when
he says it is one of the questions
congress must concern itself with.
