News Review of Current Events the World Over Statesmen in Geneva Struggle to Prevent Italo-Ethiopian War — Progress of the New Deal Measures in Congress. By EDWARD W. PICKARD C Western Newspaper Union. C APT. ANTHONY EDEN, British minister for League of Nations af- fairs, was exceedingly busy in Geneva trying to find a way to avert the war between Italy and Ethiopia. He was aided and abetted by Premier Laval of France and together they evolved a plan for procedure by the league council which appeared promising. until it was communi- cated to Premier Mile- - &Ant Then Baron Alois], Italian dele- gate, announced the Eden -Laval formula was \entirely unacceptable.\ How ever, hope was not abandoned for there was a chance that modifications could be made that would satisfy the de- mands of the Italians. Unofficially, It was said the British - French formula dealt with these points: L Conciliation and arbitration is to continue. 2. Neither Italy nor Ethiopia Is to resort to war measures in the mean- time. 8. Appointment of a fifth arbitrator to the deadlocked Rale-Ethiopian con- ciliation commission. 4. Signatories of the 1906 treaty— Great Britain, France, and Italy—will lend their good offices to obtain a gen- eral broad solution of the conflict. Italy was expected to protest against time limits fixed in the draft of the projected peace formula. One deadline was set for September 1, by which time the arbitrators on the Italo-Ethloplan conciliation com- mission, who would resume their work. would be required to report to the league counciL Another time limit was set for Sep- tember 4, when the three powers an.1 Ethiopia would be required to report their findings to the league council. In any event the council would be scheduled to meet September 4. One important concession was made to Italy in the formula. It was agreed that the ownership of Uslual, scene of the frontier conflict involved, should not be discussed. The Ethiopian con- tention has been that responsibility for the border clash could not be estab- lished without the ownership of the locality being first determined. Emperor Halle Selassie met his chieftains In council at Addis Ababa and they told him it might be now too late to prevent war for their tens of thousands of fighters were eager for hostilities to begin and could hardly be restrained. The emperor, how- ever, sought to hold the chiefs back. At the same time he issued another defiant note informing the world that Ethiopia never would accept an Italian or other mandate, adding: \No amount of prosperity under foreign domina- tlou would compensate for the loss of Independence.\ Mussolini seized control of Italy' metal and fuel imports for use In the expected war, end several thousand more soldiers and workmen sailed for Africa. L ED by George Eluddleston of Alabama, the members of the house who opposed the \death gen- tame\ in the utilities bill scored an- other victory over the supporters of that plan of the New Dealers. Sam Rayburn's motion that the house agree to the senate action on the bill was defeated, 210 to 155. ' Rayburn ar- gued, pleaded and threatened, but to no avail. He warned the represent- atives that those who voted against his motion would be incurring the wrath of the administration, and at the last moment had rend testiniony before the senate lobbying commit- tee to the effect that a New Jersey man had suggested the utilities com- panies start a whispering campaign regarding the sanity of the New Deal leaders. Still the big majority in the house insisted on rejecting the Ray- burn motion. Then the house, by a vote of lel to 172, adopted a resolution which vir- tually called for the exclusion of Ben Cohen, administration lobbyist, from future conferences on the bill. D EMOCRATIC congressmen started the week briskly determined to quail through the President's \soak the rich\ tax bill at this session. Opposing them with equal de- termination were a cumber of the hardest lighting Republicans who Insist that con- sideration of taxation be postponed until next winter and that meantime the question be studied carefully in connection with the budget for the next fiscal year. These Re- publicans are urgently Senator calling for an early Vandenberg adjournment of congress. Sena tor Hastings of Delaware has introduced a resolution setting August 10 as the day for quitting and Wee trying to have It b -ht up for consideration before passage of the tax measure. Senator Vandenberg of Michigan, often mentioned as a Presidential possibility. also densanded postponement of the tax legislation until January, and he gave out a statement denouncing the administration's plan as a \sterile po- litical gesture\ which would raise \only a little extra pocket change\ and d& clared that \we chatter of taxes in millions to offset known deficits in billions.\ \The pending tax bill, as it is being developed,\ said Senator Vandenberg, \will not produce appreciable revenue for Uncle Sam. It will not pay the President's deficit even for the period while the bill Is under consideration. As a contribution to the public credit, it is as grim a hoax as was ever per- petrated on the country. As a 'dis- tributor of wealth' It is a mere vagrant flirtation with this left wing idea.\ Nevertheless, it appeared probable that the tax measure would be etacted before adjournment, for the adminis- tration leaders had promised this to Senator La Follette and other \liber- als.\ and besides that, they have no desire to pass a taxation bill- in a Presidential election year. As Pro- duced by the house ways and means committee after great travail the mea- sure embodies an 87 per cent confisca- tion of large fortunes and increased levies on the rich which would produce perhaps $250,000,000 of additional an- nual revenue. rONGRESS has passed and the Pres- •-•• ident has signed a bill which as- sures promotion In the near future for about 5.000 army officers. It acceler- ates the advancement of commissioned officers below the grade of colonel and takes effect September 1. The act Increases the number of colonels by 138, the number of lieuten- ant colonels by 384, and the number of majors by 890. More than 1,000 second .11eutenants will be advanced immediately to the rank of first lieu- tenant and 1,769 first lieutenants will become captains. In all, 4.918 officers will receive immediate promotion. ENATE and house committees vestigating the activities of lobby- ists went their separate ways, neither thinking very well of what the other was doing. Senator Black's quiz oc- cupied Itself much with the doing of representatives of the Associated Gas and Electric corporation. An execu- tive order from the White House di- rected the secretary of the treasury to make available to the senate commit- tee all incomes, excess profit, and cap- ital stock tax returns to the extent necessary in the investigation with the so-called \holding company bill or any other matter or proposal affecting leg- islation.\ Simultaneously President Roosevelt approved a new treasury regulation authorizing the release of this information to the committee. Representative Petton of Texas were before the house committee again and satisfactorily explained how he had been able to buy $3,000 worth of bonds out of his savings. As to the cigar box he carried away from the hotel room of John W. Carpenter, president of the Texas l'ower and Light corpora- tion, It contained nothing but cigars. Patton said \The fact is, you have been done a very great wrong,\ commented Rep- resentative E. E. Cox of Georgia. CENATOR GLASS scored perhaps LI the greatest victory in his long public career when the senate, without a record vote, passed his draft of the 1935 banking act, re- jecting t he central bank features urged by Gov. Marriner S. Eccles of the federal reserve board and fa- vored by the adminis tration. The doughty Virginian, who was once secretary of the treasury, had fought desperately against the Eccles scheme and his triumph was de - delve. There was no demand for a roll call on the final vote, for the fate met by the proposers of various amend- ments showed this procedure would be futile. Senator La Follette sought to strike out a provision permitting com- mercial banks to underwrite securities and his proposal was beaten, 31) to 22. Senator Gerald Nye of North Dakota, another radical Republican, offered the central bank plan of Rev. Charles E. Coughlin. radio priest, which would set up a government owned and wholly dominated system. It was voted down. 59 to 10. Senator Glass V11031 the Comntunist Internationale L' in Moscow comes the word that the reds are planning a strike \of un- precedented scope\ by seamen and dock workers on the Pacific coast of -the United Stater, beginning In September. Sam Darcy of San Francisco, an American delegate told about it He repeuted what had already been said by Earl Browder, general scretary of the Communist party In the United States. that Communists were respon- glhle for the seamen's and dock work- ers striken last year. THE WINIFRED TIMES P ASSAGE of the bill to restore $443,- 000,000 of Spanish war veterans' pensions was completed when the sen- ate accepted the house measure, the only opposing vote being cast by Sen- ator Hastings of Delaware. This null!. flea the various adjustments made by the President for the purpose of eaten- otny to carry out the party pledge of' reduction of at least 25 per cent In the cost of administration of the federal - government pREDERICK H. GILLETT, who rep - t' resented Massachusetts In the house for many years, for six years was speaker, and thereafter served as United States senator, died in Spring- field, Mass., at the age of eighty-three. Able, dignified and unfailingly courte- ous, Mr. Gillett was highly esteemed by his fellow congressmen, whatever their party affiliation. In his home town he was known as a politician who said little and did much. JAPAN will probably have another cause for complaint against the United States. Secretary of the Navy Swanson has announced that strongly fortified naval bases will be established in the Pacific ocean up- on the expiration of the naval limitation treaties on, January 1, 1987. He said he con- sidered the creation of naval stepping stones In the Pacific an inevitable result of the treaties' expiration. He revealed that the navy long has given consid- eration to Pacific fortification problems and that impetus bad been given to the study since Japan's abrogation of the naval treaties. The necessity for adequate bases in the Pacific was demonstrated forcibly last May during the annual fleet Ma- neuvers off Hawaii and the Aleutian Islands. According to reports, the navy high command in a report of th lessons learned in the exercises strong- ly recommended an Aleutian islands base. The United States naval bases are few and far between as against thee. of Japan and Great Britain, which lie along the principal courses of English and Japanese traffic lines. The Ameri- can bases are relatively obsolete. See'y Swanson G ERMANY'S diplomatic note eon- cerning the Communist attack on the liner Bremen In the port of New York took the form of a request that the offenders be punished but asked for no apology. Acting Secretary of State William Phillips, in his reply handed to the German charge d'Af- faires, Dr. Rudolf Leitner, told briefly the efforts of the New York police to guard the vessel and to subdue the mob, and pointed out that some of those who took part in the attack were arrested. The German note said the incident constituted an insult to Germany. In his press conference President Roosevelt declined to comment on the affair. Asked about the protest of Jewish organizations against the Ger- man government's religious attitude, the President Intimated that the ad- ministration's view was fully expressed by Mr. Phillips' reply in which he ex- pressed sympathy for anyone who was denied religious liberty. Representative Dickstein of New York told the house that no apology was due to Germany for the Bremen incident and that neither the federal nor the local authorities were to blame for it. He asserted the attack was made possible by \a selfish desire on the part of the skipper of the Bremen, who would not take police advice to halt visiting to the ship and lose the revenue of visitors.\ Over in Germany the saner men in authority recognized that the Nazis were going too far and were probably headed for a fall If not restrained. Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, president of the Reichsbank and economic dictator of the retch, uttered a solemn warning to the anti-Jewish and anti-Catholic forces, declaring that the great task which the German people must fulfill to comply with the wishes of Hitler cannot be fulfilled unless \all distur- bances are ended, be they In the intel- lectual or economic field.\ Among developments in the current campaign against the Steel Helmets, the World War Veterans' organization, the Schutzstaffel or \black corps\ formed to protect the person of Hit- ler, gave out a warning that it must be reckoned with in the evept of a showdown against \state enemies,\ and asserting its complete loyalty to der fuehrer. The proclamation closed with these ominous words: \For many reasons It would be deep- ly regretted if the Steel Helmets, by their own fault, should come to a dis- honorable end,\ 1\if ORE disasters In the Far East Antung, an important city in Manchukuo, was engulfed by a terrific flood; a thousand 'persons were drowned and practically the entire pop- ulation of 110,000 was rendered home- less. Formosa was ravaged by another typhoon which took many lives and did vast damage. Along the Han and Yangtee rivers the surviving Chinese were striving to keep alive and at the same time to bury the tens of thou. sands who died in the floods there. ALONG the line of providing help for white collar workers, Harry L. Hopkins appointed four technical assistants to direct the employment of painters, musicians, writers and actor& They are: Nikolal Sokoloff for music, Haille Flanagan for the theater, Holger Cahill for painters and sculptors, and Henry G.

Henry Ford was seventy- two. If you Sale him going upstairs two steps at a time and guessed his age, you would say, at most, fifty- five. Mussolini has just celebrated his fifty- second birthday. You may spend a profitable three minutes contrasting those two leaders of men in your imagination's eye. Henry Ford has made millions of people independent of the law of gravitation, history will tell exactly what Mtle- s,olird has done. His test lies in the future. Arthur Brisbane The London Times and Universal Service announce a clash between Ethi- opians and Italians, 20 Ethiopians and 40 Italians, killed, a stream supplying the Italian camp turned in a new di- rection and the Italians compelled to retreat. \Rome \ has no information\ on this Incident Perhaps Mussolini, who knows that war should supply only good news, is waiting to add something such as: \Air bombardment of Addis Ababa has inflicted swift retribution for the kill- ing of 40 Italians.\ Italy has $100,000,000 in gold stored in London and can't get R. Why can- not Italy get that gold? England says to Italy, \When you pay the money you borrowed In the war, you can have your gold.\ Britons are practicaL When they lent money to Italy they said, \Send along your gold; not that we ques- tion your honor, but as a mere for- mality.\ Too bad this simple-minded country didn't think of that when it shipped $10,000,000,000 abroad. Perhaps we shall think of It next time, more prob- ably not. The General Electric company has developed, electrically, a temperature of 13,000 degrees Fahrenheit, an- l oounced as \hotter than the sun's 9,000 degrees.\ But 9,000 is only the sun's external temperature. Go to same distance into the sun's interior, where atoms are throwing off electrons to supply us and other planets with heat and light, and you would find a temperature of 40,000,- 000,000 degrees centigrade. When will Gerard Swope develop that tempera- ture artificially? Thomas E. Dewey, chosen to fight racketeering in New York, says In a broadcast: \The criminal underworld plays no favorites. It preys on the public, on Industry and on labor alike. Organ- ized labor has been one of Its most recent and most tragic victims. Many originally honest and sound labor unions have been slowly but surely Infected with the virus of organized crime. Today certain corruptive lead- ers operate as extortionists both upon industry and upon members of their own unions. An intelligent group of motorists announce a \safe driving campaign for August,\ urging automobile drivers to consider safety, particularly In their own cars. The safest thing would be to send tens of thousands of cars now run- ning to the junk pile, get new cars and live longer. Modern tires give miraculous mileage, but often they look \good for ten thousand miles more\ when they have reached the danger point. In Yugoslavia 20 years ago Alexan- der Boger, now living In Minneapolis, Minn., killed a friend In a fight. Wish- ing to make amends, he offered to marry the widow. That could not be done. He has saved $15,000, work- ing in mines, and now offers the money to the twenty-two -year -old daughter of the man he killed. She is poor and will accept. Atonement by payment Is almost as old as murder. There are still coun- tries In which crime may be paid for in cash, the amount depending on the rank of the person murdered. George, former king of Greece will take the crown If 00 per cent of Greeks vote in his favor. He thinks 60 per cent enough. Once crowned, George might be surprised to find what. 40 per cent of Greeks could do. George Bernard Shaw, In a dispatch to Editor Waiter Howey, remarks that both Irish and Jews are not easy to deal with when they are uncomfort- able. That applies also to Greeks. The British forbade shipment of arms from England to Abyssinia, also shipments from England to Italy.

THE SPILLWAY e0111 1 1 years ago I visited the Mln- nedoka dam on the Snake river in Idaho. As one enters the white -tiled power house with its gigantic wheels turning silently, one wonders from where the power comes. Ushered into a gallery one looks down upon the water of the river, directed over a 40 - foot dam dropping with tremendous noise. \Only one-fourth of the water goes over the dam,\ said our guide. \I'll show you where the rest goes.\ Climbing a narrow stairway we stepped out on a balcony and to our surprise beheld a low, broad waterfall about 4 feet in height across the en- tire river, which was fairly wide at this point. \This he said. \is the spillway!\ An interesting sight it was to come out from that busy rush- ing water In the power house to this lazy water flowing smoothly over the spillway. \No use Is made of this wa- ter over the spillway,\ he said, \its power Is lost\ Lost, thought I, be- cause it gives no service—it is lazily selfish. Power comes through service, whether found in nature or human na- ture. If we would have power we must choose between selfishness and service. He told us the power house gen- erated enough electricity to heat and light all of the Northwest If all the water of the Snake, including that which went over the spillway, were sent through the power house, he thought enough power could be gen- erated to heat and light most of the states, west of the Mississippi river! His words \over the spillway the power is lost,\ kept ringing in my ears. How like human life, I thought, as I stood on the balcony watching that beautiful indolent water glisten- ing in the sunshine, gliding listlessly over the spillway. I wish for all youth that they might catch a vision, as I did in the power house that day, of the potentiality of human energies and their results when directed through the power house of character, education and self-control. Many young men and women would grow strong in leadership if they would vol- untarily send all of their physical, emo- tional and intellectual capacities through the power house, conserving the power that is all too frequently lost over the spillway of indolence, Indiffer- ence, selfishness and crime, in the growing years of the treacherous teen age. \Effort is the price of everything one statesman said. In fact, leader- ship of any kind comes costly; it is bought with sacrifice. • • • THREE POWERFUL KEYS T HE largest key I ever saw was the one used by the old custodian when he took me through the centuries -old gate of an old Danish castle. Since then, however, I have found three still more powerful keys, which anyone can possess if he wishes. It is P known fact that as man cre- ates his work, work in turn re-creates man. A modern essayist tells us that: \The working races of the world.have been the victortone races; the non- working, the subjekt races. Wander- ing peoples have never developed high- ly political organizations, literature nor art.\ So there is more than a mone- tary comeback to work, and does the same for individuals as for nations. Drive into your life job, do not drift into It Carry three keys of power with you; they magically open locked doors, the keys of preparation, per- severance and purpose! From the lack of these, we find, in the human family, the Idle, the unhappy, the un- prepared, the misfits of the world! The same principles of character un- derlie all successful work of any kind. whether It be in the field of educe Hon, the professions or commerce. Success follows law, not luck—the law of preparation, perseverance, and high purpose. These all lie within our. selves, \effort is the price of every- thing.\ This is the most vocational experts can advise. You must do the rest. The president of a large western uni- versity once asked a railroad magnate what special preparation he desired young men to have whom he employed. \I use no questionnaire methods.\ he said. \Give me the lad who has used his preparation to form superior men- tal habits, habits that ought to result from his university work, who has trained his mind to think straight. quickly, anti we'll do the rest, for be will make good in any job we have.\ There Is a deeper purpose In life than merely earning a living. \Just good enough Is not enough.\ A high purpose includes servire, a contribu tion to the lives of others. What a challenge to youth today to try the old world for themselves. If we are willing to prepare ourselves for our maximum capability (the first key), and to think what our job can give to others as well as' -.Ourselves, (the third key), our work will yield not only a cultural wage to us but a service to the world. Try these keys of power—Prepar- stion, Perseverance, and Purpose: they epee locked doors I Versatility Here, and Also Comfort ?steam MIN No one has ever designed any- thing to equal the chic and comfort of the \Wrap -around\ for efficient performance of household duties. And in our crowded lives today, Effi- ciency plays an important part. Per- haps that's why a house frock that could \go to market\ to prove its versatility has been conceived.
