“My Empire” Wants Peace
“ME, Too,” Says Selassie

England’s lord high chancellor, Via-
count Hallsham, read the king’s speech,
written by the
king’s cabinet The

steps “urgently nec
essary to safeguard
my empire” are rec
ommended to thia

haven’t any- “em
pire” exactly, but
we have a republic
worth ( defending.
Some^of our loose
billions might be
well spent in that
direction.
Arthw Brisbane Ignorlng gome
Ian friction, the king went on to aay,
“My relations with foreign powers
continue friendly.”
Mentioning the Italian misunder
standing, he said: “My government
will continue to exert their influei^e
In favor of peace.” If it does, peace
will come.
Haile Selassie, emperor of Ethiopia,
sensibly aeked the Patriarch Johannes,
supreme authority of the Ethiopian
Coptic church, fo arrange peace. If he
can, with Mussolini, and Abuna Cyril,
high bishop of his church, is asked by
Selassie to do his best.
And now comes from Universal
Service the Important authoritative re
port that Haile Selassie has agreed
to give part of his territory to Italy
in return for peace.
Washington says this country plans
a series of Pacific ocean “Gihraltars,”
'armed with 10-inch guns with a fight-
-ing range of 25 to 30 miles! Qul^e
amusing, considering that the original
Gibraltar has become a useless rock,
thanks to airplanes and submarines.
Invading airplanes might not be kind
enough to come within 25 or 30 miles
ef those Interesting fixed Gibraltars.
What this country needs for coast
protection is airplanes, for fighting,
and dirigibles for observation, located
close enough together-and high enough
up in the air to make them really use
ful in the next war.
Uncle Sam borrows 5000,000,000
more, bringing the national debt above
$30,500,000,000, but $-40,000,000,000 be
low the amount that certain “great
bankers” told President Roosevelt this
country could easily carry. Congress
man Hamilton Fish Jr. wants Presi
dent Roosevelt to tell who the great
bankers were, but It Is understood
that they talked Id confidence.
Prince Suml of Japan, brother of
the Mikado, fourth son of the late
Emperor Yoshlhito, takes the title
“Prince Mikasi,'’ meaning, literally,
“Prince of the Ttiree Umbrellas.” The
name “Three-Umbrellas” Is taken from
a Japanese mountain and is also the
much revered name of the flagship
on which Admiral Togo‘fought the
battle of the Jit pan sea. '
“Three Umbrellas” seems appropri
ate—one for Japan, one for China, one
for the Philippines; all Japanese.

POSTMASTER GENERAL FARLEY,
* in his capacity of chairman of the
Democratic nationai committee, called
that body to meet In Washington Jan
uary 8, when arrange-*
menta will be made
for the convention of
1936 and the place of
that gathering select
ed. He told the corre
spondents that the
chief bidders for the
convention would be
Philadelphia, Chicago.
SL Louis, Kansas City
and San Francisco,
and denied the report
J. A. Farley that the first named
city already had been decided upon.'
He said be thought the highest bidder
would be selected, provided it has ad
equate convention hall and hdtel fa
cilities. \
Stories that Senator Donahey of
Ohio or some one else would be given
second place on the ticket instead of
Garner were laughed at by Mr. Far
ley. He asserted that there was no
doubt about the renomination Gar
ner for vice president. Asked about
the two-thirds rule, he said the com
mlttee might recopimefid its abandon
ment, but that any change was Ute
business of the convention. Comment-,
ing on the Literary Digest poll, which
shows a majority in the mlddlewest
states voting 'against...the Roosevelt
New Deal, Farley“'saldr
“So far as the poll relates to senti
ment in the midwest states, like Iowa.
It Is 100 per cent wrong.” He'lnsisted
that the President was very strong,
not only in that section of the coun
try, but ffa every p::rt ' '
“The President will carry us many
states next year si‘ he did in 1932,”
said Farley Roosevelt* carried all ex
cept six states at that time. Farley
said he believed Roosevelt would ttin
the electoral vote of Pennsylvania, one
of the states that voted for Hoover
in 1932, and that also there was a good
chance of carrying New Hampshire.

Poor Chinn abandons hope for her

suspects that Japan “plans a series ot

Japan knows how to go about It. No

not to yell” Discipline Is also • part

A LFRED P. SLOAN, JR., president
of General Motors corporation,
was the chief speaker at the annual
dinner of the Congress of American
Industry In New York
and he mode an ear
nest plea to industry
to save the country
from bureaucracy and
possible socialism.
Industry should lead
the nation away from
the fallacious theory
of plenty “to promote
the general welfare of
all the people” Mr
Sloan told the nation’s*
leading manufactur
ers. Should big business full to ac
cept this “broader responsibility.” it
will bring, he said, the "urge for more
and more Interference from without—
government In business.”
Mr. Sloan conceded the gravity and
the . extreme Importance of problems
Of today—the paramount necessity of
charting a sound course for the “long
future.” He advocated: r
“1—Reduction In the real costs and
selling prices of goods and services. ^
“2—A more economic balance of na
tional Income through policies affect
ing wages, hours, prices and profits.”
The meeting of the congress was
held In conjunction with the fortieth
annual convention of the National As
sociation of Manufacturers, .and the
speakers before that body were as em
phatic Id their condemnation of the
economic policies of the administration
as was Mr. Sloan. President C. L. Rar-
do said: “Whether we like It or not,
Industry has been forced In sheer self-
defense to enter the political arena or
be destroyed as a private enterprise.’’
General Counsel J. A. Emery, de
clared: “This gathering is a call to
arms. , ~i'\ . -*• —*—
“The sentry call should rouse the
armies of Industry to repulse the forces
of IfVe atten rtreory thar* rhattengr onr;
political Institutions and economic sys
tem within our own household "
Robert L. Lund, chairman of the
boarfksaid: “The New Dealers'have
beemffurced to desert some of their
boldest experiments. This has came
to pass because the American people
have demanded a return to commou
sense and sound business. American
Industry has taken the leadership In
this combat.”

E uropean diplomats, espec^kiiy
the British and Premier Laval of
France, are exceedingly clever and re
sourceful, but tf they ire to extricate
their nations from the
present threatening
state of affairs they
will need all their
amartnesa. Though de-
dslon aa to the impo
sition of an oil em
bargo against Italy
was postponed until
December 12 to give
Laval a chance to con
ciliate Mussolini, the
dace refused to make
any gesture toward
peace. Italians were
authoritatively warned not to mistake
diplomatic exchanges betweep their
premier and .the representatives of
Great Britain and France aa “peace
talk,” and were told there was no rea
son to believe Mussolini had modified
his minimum terms already presented
to Sir Erie Drummond. and Laval’s
representative Also he has declined
further to conciliate Britain by re
moving more troops from I,.ibya and
has repeated bis warning that he will
consider an oil embargo an Unfriendly
gesture He and.alMtallana are espe
cially resentful against Great Britain,
which apparently Intends to lns|df on
the oil ban. And now they are getting
very sore at France despite Laval’s
efforts to maintain friendly relations
between the two countries. There were
reports that Italian troops were being
massed along the French frontier.
One more rather desperate4nove for
pence was made In i’sris when Laval

“set of suggestions" which were said
to be the lust word from France and
Great Brlt.'Rn before the applying of
the oil embargo, due on December 12,
These suggestions were said to be
based principally on an- exchange of
territories between Italy and Ethi
opia, the latter to receive Its long-
sought seaport and to remain abso
lutely Independent, save for the lands
granted to Italy. -»
The feeling In Rome was pessimistic,
and there was noted a general tighten
ing up of home defenses. Troops tlujt
had been expected to depart for the
Ethiopian front were being retained
in Italy, and the orders.to the naval
and air forces were suggestive. New
economic measures to resist the sanc
tions were being put Into effect daily.
The British government was en
grossed with the troublous situation.
Sir Samuel Hoare, foreign secretary,
received timely orders from his physi
cian to take a rest in Switzerland,
and it was announced he would stop In
Paris for a^conference- with Premier
Laval.> The admiralty was preparing
for eventualities and ordered oflicers
of the royal navy reserve to report at
once for-duty at Plymouth. These men

Hawaii Discovery Made
Possible vby Franklin
To Benjamin Franklin la due “safe
conduct” that enabled.the discovery
of Hawaii, today one’ of the most
powerful units of America's national
defense In the west.
In the Archives of Hawaii, on the
grounds of tha former royal palace
In Honolulu, reposes a photostatic
copy of a letter written from France
in 1779 by Franklin, who was then
minister plenipotentiary from the
United States to ths Court of
France.
The document la addressed^o ‘‘all
captains and commanders of armed
ships acting by commission from
the congress of the United States of
A merIcq now In war with Great
Britain,’’ and explains that as Cap
tain Cook’s expedition had been fit
ted out before America and Great
Britain were at war, the great, navi
gator and explorer Should be given
a safe conduct and not considered as
an enemy.
Womeri^Beat Men in Male
Roles: More Streamlining
Opera audiences this winter will
see s large number of small sopranos
in men’s pantaloons and knee boots.
A manager of opera stars says that,
streamline figures are enabling wom
en to look more convincing- In male
roles than the men themselves when
high notes are required.
He added that if slender qpprano*
keep on counting their calories, men
who can sing falsetto mky have te
start looking about for women's
roles. “Faust,” “Fldello,” “Rosen-
kavaller” and “MIgnon” are among
the operas in which women ara tak
