r f i The Baniwcll People-SeaUncU Bamwell S. C- Thursday, October 24, 1935 BRISBANE THIS WEEK Mussolini at the Phone Who Is the Man? ^ No Fear in Vatican City A Shot at a Bird Something new In war Is Mussolini sitting In his bftice at the Pplazzo Ven ezia In Rome, talk ing on a short wave radio tele phone with Gen. Emilio de Bono, his commander In chief In Ethiopia. Musso lini should have been photographed as he received the message, “We have Just taken Aduwa, where 8,(K»i) of our colonial - troops, 6,000 of our Italian troops, were killed 40 years ago, and Arthur Brisbane Italy humiliated.” That was a proud moment in Musso lini's life. After Mussolini gets the news by radio-telephone he telephones It to the Italian king's summer residence. News Review of Current the World Over Is Outlawed by League of Nations, Austria and Hun gary Objecting—Hauptmann's Death Sentence Upheld by Appeals Court. By EDWARD W. PICKARD Q Western Newspaper Union. For a change from war, consider this Incident. Before the entrance to the “Recess club” frequented by Wall Street’s “Who’s Who,” stood George C. Haigh, banker; Matthew S. Sloan,'who used to run New York’s electric light and now runs the “Katy" railroad, a learned friend of Mr. Sloan's and this writer. Baron Alois! Mr. Sloan said, with finality that marks greatness, “Mr. Blank,” men tioning the name of a well-known Re publican candidate, “will be elected In ]0.'!6.” Your narrator buttonholed the first man passing, a Wall Street deni zen, well-dressed, asked him “Who Is Mr. Blank?” mentioning the name of Mr. Sloan’s candidate. “Never heard of him. don’t know wno he is. Who Is he?” the pedes trian replied and went on. Of the next ten, nine would have said, similarly, “Never heard of him,” but all ten would have heard of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Refnihllcans must take somebody whose name Is known If they can find him; falling that, they would do well to select him t^>w and see to It that his name Is known before election day comes around. Despite possibilities of widespread bombing of cities If “that war In Eu rope” should come, Vatican City, ruled by the pope, does not consider anti bomb defense necessary. Osservatore Romano, representing the Vatican, denies reports that shelters against air raids would be provided in Vatican City. It says; “The Holy Father has reason to be lieve that the dome of St. Peter's, re gardless of whatever the occasion might be, Is the most Inviolable de fense, firstly, because of the celestial protection of the Prince of Apostles, for whom the dome Is the sacred sign and symbol, and because Its mass In dicates so clearly the holy place, re spected and venerated during the most obscure centuries.” That the magnificent building erected by Michelangelo, with his priceless statues and paintings within It, would be respected by even the most barbar ous Invader seems certain. Little things start big things. Doc tor Potter, formerly professor of politl- i cal science In the University of Wis consin, one of an International com- i mittee of four that tried to settle a quarrel between Italy and Ethiopia In 1934, says that Italy has good ground for complaint against Ethiopia, and that a soldier’s casual shot at a bird probably caused the present trouble. DECAUSE It was prosecuting an up- declared war on Ethiopia, Italy was condemned as a violator of the covenant of the League of Nations and virtually de clared to be an out?, 1 law against which economic and finan cial sanctions are ; to be applied. That was the decision of ‘ 52 members of the league -■la memorable meet ing of Its assembly In Geneva. Three na tions, Italy itself and Austria and Hungary, refused to associate themselves with the assembly’s action. The Austrian and Hungarian repre sentatives already had announced that they would not participate In any sanc tions against Italy because of their political and economic relations with the Fascist government If any of the nations concurring In the league's decision wishes to declare war on Italy, It fcow has the legal right to do so. The nature of the pen alties to be Imposed and the. manner of procedure was to be determined by a committee Including all meml^rs of the league council, except Italy, and all Italy’s neighbor nations except Austria and Hungary. The meeting of the assembly first heard an eloquent speech on Italy’s behalf by her chief delegate, Baron Pompel Alois!. He charged that the league had been unfair, that it hal used “two weights and two scales” In Its work, that It had acted against Italy where It jlld not act against Japan In the Manchurian crisis, that It did not even consider Italy’s complaints against Ethiopia. “Why not Japan?” he asked. “Why not Bolivia and Paraguay In the Chaco war? Why Italy?” Before the decision nation after na tion registered Its adherence to. the league covenant. “I shall make only a brief declara tion.” said Pierre Laval of France. “France will face her obligations. I said this before the council. I repeat It before the assembly. The covenant is our International law.” “Action must now be taken,” said Anthony Eden of Great Britain. “I declare the readiness of his majesty’s government to take full part In such action.” Vladimir Potemkin of Russia, an nounced that his government was de termined to fulfill Its obligations. Switzerland also emphasized its will ingness to participate. “No other delegation has asked ro speak,” said President Benes quietly. “I Interpret the silence of all as Indi cating the concurrence of their gov ernments with the opinion of the members of the council. The assem bly will place this on record." Austria and Hungary cannot of themselves supply Mussolini with much In the way of raw materials for war; but there Is the chance that he may receive, through those countries, ma terials from Germany If the neutrality proclaimed by Hitler does not pre vent. Already the big packing com panies of Brazil have suspended nego tiations for the sale of 22.000 tons of meat to Italy, and Greece has stopped the shipment of donkeys to the Italian armies. The economic sanctions also will put an end to much of Italy’s ex port trade, as well gs her Imports. Mr. Joseph E. Uihleln, an able citi zen of Milwaukee, who takes Infor mation with him on hls travels and is therefore able to bring Information ' back, returns from England with the Impression that, despite greatly Im proved conditions Iti Britain, English and other Europeans are expecting something unpleasant to happen. What It Is, where It will start, what will cause It, nobody is prepared to say, but there Is a feeling of apprehension, a vague ‘ anticipation of some catas trophic event. The Rresldent^ssures the nation that on this occasion America will not meddle with what does not concern It. What will the United States do about selling food to Italy. If. through “sanc tions,” the League of Nations' tries to starve out the Italians, as Germany was starved? Gen. De Bono If a chain Is no stronger than Its weakest link the chain that makes up the human race is not strong. Authorities In Java report fifty na tives of New Guinea, Including seven teen children, arrested as “head-hunt ers." They got the heads of two na tive women and ate the two women. T Mussolini spoke to twenty million Italians gathered In Italy’s public squares, and to the people of the world. You could not mistake the meaning of that voice. Newspaper men, gathered near the radio, said: “His voice made the shiv ers run up and down our backs, al though we could not understand a word of It." Shivers do not often rup up and down those backs. • Kins Features Syndicate, laa. WNU Service. M AKING good on his threats and promises, Benito Mussolini sent hls armies crashing across the border of Ethiopia, starting a war that gave all Europe the Jit ters. Under the com mand of Gen. Emilio De Bono, chl^f of the Italian colonial Ir- mles, the Italian troops laboriously advanced from Eritrea, crossing the Mareb river fron tier and capturing Adi- grat and other towns that had already been practically ruined by bombardment from planes. The Immediate objective was Aduwa, the scene of the terrific Italian defeat 3!) years ago. After several days of hard fighting against the de fending Ethiopians, who lost prab- ably 2,000 killed, the Invaders marched Into Aduwa, and considered that the disgrace of 1896 had been avenged. The Italian soldiers of Gen eral Marivigna’a command entered first, carrying to the principal square and there erecting a big stone monu ment Inscribed “To the fallen heroes of Aduwa.” Italy officially announced that all of Tigre province was in Italian hands, and at the same time her columns were advancing Into Ethiopia from the south and east, with the city of Harrar and the country’s one railway as their objective. Squadrons of bombing planes were flying here and there, destroying towns and killing many of the inhabitants. Recent reports from Addis Ababa said the Italian minister, whose de parture had been requested by the emperor, announced that the Italian* forces In the north sector had occu pied the holy city of Aksum, the an cient capital of the. queen of Sheba. There was no resistance, and the Ethi opians saved their sacred relics. The king of kings asked that other Italian legation officials depart with the minister. The legation, he de clared, had kept Its radio communi cations In use after being requested to desist. In Rome It was announced that Mus solini would retort by giving passports to the'members of the Ethiopian lega tion and would launch.a new drive to ward Addis Ababa. Ethiopian cavalry made a daring raid Into Eritrea, killing some Italians and capturing others; but there was a report that a son-in-law of the em peror and another Ethiopian general lost their lives in this operation. F IRST giving assurance. In his speech at San Diego, that the Unit ed States would not be drawn Into any foreign war. President Roosevelt issued two Important proclamations. One proclaimed the embargo on all shipments of war material to the bel ligerent nations. The other warned Americans that travel on Italian or Ethiopia^ vessels would be at their own risk. Since Ethiopia has no ship ping, the latter proclamation was di rected solely against Italy. In yet an other statement the President reversed our national policy by declaring that Americans who engage In "transac tions of any character” with either of the warring nations ‘'will do So at their own risk.” In the past the United States has argued for the right of neu tral citizens and commerce to “freedom of the seas.” The task of preventlc* shipment of American arms and mumMons to Italy and Ethiopia was undertsken by the coast guard and customs service. NANIMOUS decision of the New Jersey court of errors ant? ap Bruno Hauptmann U peals Is that Bruno Richard Haupt mann was given a fair trial on the charge of murdering Col. Charles Lind bergh’s baby son; that hls conviction was In accordance with the evidence and that his death sentence was le gal. Every contention raised by the defense was overruled. In its opinion the court said: “Our conclusion is that the verdict is not only not contrary to the weight of the evi dence, but one to which the evidence inescapably led. . . . From three different and, in the main, unrelated sources the proofs point unerringly to guilt—viz: “(a) Possession and use of the ran some money. “(b) The handwriting of the ran som notes. “(c) The wood used In the construc tion of the ladder.” Hauptmann’s attorneys Immediately began preparations for an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. Their only way Is to ask that tribunal for a review of the New Jer sey court’s action. To prevent the death sentence being carried out while such a petition was pending In the Supreme court, it would be necessary to have a “stay of execu tion” issued by the New Jersey courts or by a Justice of the United States Supreme court. If a review Is denied the case will be closed and Hauptmann probably will die In the electric chair late in November or early In December. G REECE changed back from a re public to a monarchy overnight In a bloodless coup d’etat engineered by the royalists In the armed forces. Led by Gen. George Kondylis, the army officers demanded that Premier Tsal- daris immediately proclaim restoration of the monarchy. He refused and re signed, and a new government with Kondylis as, premier took hold. This former minister of war then forced out President Zalmis, abolished the repub lican constitution, decreed the restora tion, and was named regent by the na tional assembly pending the return of King George II, who was called back from exile. Though the change of form of government thus seemed completed, the assembly directed that a plebiscite on the question be held November 3, and in London the Greek king's equerry said George would await the result of this vote. vm. Rep. Fish LTAMlLTIN FISH, JR.,, congressman l ^ from New York, Is going to be a landida-te for the Republican Presi dential nomination and will throw his hat Into the ring about the middle of Decem ber. He will, enter the primaries In the western, mid-western and southern states. Mr. Flsti has not yet formally announced this Intention, but he tol(| an Interviewer the other day that if he were elected he wottW" have a non partisan cabinet that would Include the best brains In the country regardless of political affilia tions. He even went so far ns to gt^e out a long list ot the men and womeh from which he would choose hls cab inet members. For instance, his sec retary of state will be either Senator Borah, Senator Hiram Johnson, Bain- brldge Colby, John W. Davis or New ton D. Baker. For secretary of com merce he would have either Herbert Hoover or Frank Philips of Oklahoma. Senator Carter Glass heads the list for ^secretary of the treasury; Edward A. Hayes for secretary of war; R. B. Creager of Texas for postmaster gen eral; Judge Charles Lockwood of Brooklyn for attorney general ;A1 Smith for secretary of labor; Frank O. Low- den for secretary of agriculture; Theo dore Roosevelt, Jr., for secretary of tlu navy, and Ftrfiner Vice President Charles Curtis for secretary of the In terior. A merican federation of la bor opened Its annual conven tion In Atlantic City with many prob lems up for discussion. In Its report the executive council advocated pres ervation of the national constitution, without amendment for the present, as best for industrial recovery. P said: “That some control must be exerted over the former system of laissez falre cannot be denied. “The experiment,” the report added. (NRA), “which has been concluded, has helped to point the way to the goal which we must seek. How Is congress to acquire that control over the Industry and trade of our country which will make possible the neces sary reforms? “Until exhaustive studies have been made with respect to attaining this great objective, under our, present con stitution, we cannot recommend- just- JACK IS NEEDED IN PRESENT DAY, SAYS AUTHORITY A Jack of all trades has usually been considered a handy fellow to have around. But It Is the fashion to consider that such a general facil ity Implies a lack of particular ex- pertness, or to express It In simpler Anglo-Saxon. "Jack of all traded; master of none.” Now speaks up a vocational expert to protest at this belittling of Jack. In these days of hazardous employ ment anu drastic occupational changes resulting from the rapid ad vance of the machine, the ja< k of all trades Is needed, says Prof. Harry D. KItson of Teachers college, Col umbia:* Even If Jack Is master of no trade, he Is much more master of hls own destiny than the one-occupa tion man. Therefore, says Doctor KItson, today’s vocational guidance effort should endeavor at all costs “to avoid giving young people the obsession that they are created for one occupation.” This, unfortunately, seems to be one result of relying too heavily on the aptitude tests and other methods of gauging ability which have been devised in ’(^eat detail by the voca tional guidance experts. Such tests have value; but they also have lim itations. Doctor KItson, one Judges, is an expert with a saving sense of reasonableness. He recognizes there is a danger of not being able to see the woojls for the trees. The Jack of all trades was sup posed to be an outstanding human product of the pioneer days. He who alone, or with a small Isolated group, was battling the old frontier, had to be a Jack of all trades. And sometimes he was master of several. It Is surprising now to see the modern Industrial setup, the antith esis of the frontier, demanding the same qualifications. what steps should he taken In connec tion with this particular problem.” The federation’s determination to keep out the Communists was empha sized by Its action In refusing to seat E. M. Curry, president of the Inter- ! .national Foundry Workers’ union, be cause he was a Communist candidate for congress In Michigan three years ago. Chief Justice Hughes Q UITE without ceremony. Chief Justice Charles Evams Hughes and the eight associate Justices of the Supreme court of the United States took possession of their new ten million dollar home which on the outside resembles a Corinthian temple. Everything In the handsome building was new except the nine chairs the eminent Jurists occupy, and these would have been replaced If the architects and deco rators had had their way. There was a big crowd present to see the Justices open the first term of court In the palatial structure but only a few spectators could get Inside. The first business was the admission of more than 150 lawyers to practice before the court Then the calen dar was read. On this calendar are six cases which hold the fate of the New Deal The most Important of these Is one which will determine the validity ot the agricultural adjustment act. That ruling may rank with the Dred Scott decision in Its political conse- quencea. Other Important cases are those challenging the Bankhead cotton con trol act, the Tennessee Valley author ity, the right of the Public Works administration to condemn land for housing projects, the corpora.a reor ganization act, and the right of states to tax the property of the Reconstruc tion Finance corporation. A nnapolis was fun oLjuw^ men, ranging from admirals down to ordinary seamen, on October 10, for that was the ninetieth anniversary of the founding of the United States Naval academy and it was celebrated In fine style. Heading a group of dis tinguished guests not Identified with the service was Prof. Wilder D. Ban- cioft, whose grandfather, George Ban croft, famous historian, .founded the academy when he was secretary of the m.vy under President Polk. A feature of the exercises was a sham battle In which midshipmen landed from boats, scaled the seawall and attacked the academy under protection of a bar rage laid down by a sub-chaser.

BILIOUSNESS Q UITE Inadvertently, Secretary of the Navy Swanson revealed the fact that our government is preparing to take part in another naval confer ence in London within three months. Mr. Swanson, ( replying to some ques tion at hls press conference, said he would send Admiral William’H. Stand- ley, chief of operations, to the London meeting as - the navy’s representative because of bis good work at the last conversations on naval limitation. It Is supposed the naval powers will try to formulate a limitation program which would take the place of the treaties that are to be terminated Jan uary L 1937.
