Emperor Selassie Institutes Another Bid For Peace
I
SELASSIE BIDS
FOR PEACE BY
APPEAL CAIRO
(By The Associated Press)
Undated, Dec. 3, — Sel
assie made another bid for
peace with Italy, an author
itative religious source in
Cairo divulged today.
At the same time Mussp
lini created a brain trust to
remodel the Italian diet al
ong wartime lines.
In London, the British
treasury offered two gigan
tic loans, part of which may
be used for defense.
It was learned that
Selassie appealed to the
Supreme authority, Cop
ic Christian Church, for
aid. He asked Patriarch
Johannes to intervene
the Italian government
and establish a basis for
peace conversations with
the fascist minister at
Cairo, abput the middle
oi me monm.
The British treasury an
nounced it had offered loans
to total about one billion,
four hundred and fifty
eight million dollars.
The news aroused specu
lation as to how much of it
might be used to strength
en the national defense.
King George warned Par
liament “the fulfillment of j
our international obliga
tions under the League
covenant, no less than the
adequate safeguarding of
our Empire, makes it ur
gently necessary, that the
deficiency in our defense
forces be made good.”
Authoritative sources in
London predicted today
that the oil embargo again
st Italy would be adopted
by the League under Brit
ish pressure.

WASHINGTON
CURRENT
COMMENT
The League of Nations
has in mind a procedure
against Italy embodying
1 considerable of that drast
ic treatment which is
known as cracking down.
It is proposed to buy noth
ing Italian, shut off the sup
ply of arms and munitions
to the European belliger
ant, and see to it that he
gets no cash and little op
portunity to buy on tick,
1 the bars being let down ac
cordingly and per contra
for the other party to the
commotion.
If the end in view is to
make hard going for the
Duce, the means selected
seems fairly adequate. It
may be assumed that at
present we have no interest
in the African war and are.
nfaintainin ga strict neutral
ity. The plans of the Leag
ue, therefore, do not seem
to be our affair, generally
and sperficially considered.
It is intended, however, to
ascertain whether or not
the United States is friend
ly to the program, before
going ahead with it. Our
answer will call for a state
craft of a high order. What
shall we say, and at the
same time keep our finger
out of the latest European
war pie?
Chinese scholarship used
to consist in committing to
memory a large number of
wise saws. An old school
j Chinaman would know
what to say about the item
that European styles of
dress have been influenced
by the war. One fool mak
es many.
Washington is up in arms
on account of a ruling to
the effect that communism
may be taught in the pub
lic schools so long as it is
not advocated. The matter
is mentioned, not as a piece
of Washington news, but
because it is something
that may present itself as
a problem for the country
at large. The desire to
teach Red doctrines is
prima facie evidence of a
desire to advocate them.
Such instruction cannot be
justified on the ground
that communism is an hist
orical fact. Prostitution is
an historical fact, but the
history of prostitution is
not considered a necessary

(By The Associated Press)
Washington, Dec. 2, —
The government is requast
: ing a loan of nine hundred
million dollars to finance
the winter work relief, to

STEVEDORES
TO STRIKE ON

(Bv The Associated Press)
San Francisco, Dec. 3, —
A nation-wide stevedore
strike order against steam
ship lines serving Gulf of
Mexico ports, went into ef
fect today, but in San Fran
cisco, leaders of the long
shoremen disagreed as to
how sweeping the ban was
to be.
William J. Lewis, district
president of the Internation
al Longshoremen’s Associa
tion declared that his inter
pretation of the strict ord
er sent out by Joseph P.
Ryan, president, was that
it applied only to two com
panies refusing to deal with
the I. L. A.
Harry L Bridges, presi
dent of the San Francisco
; chapter asserted that the
ban applied to all ship lin
es touching gulf ports.
Bridges said that the Ka
trina Luckenbach, arriving
last night, was not to be
worked until the dispute,
was settled.

by one of a group of men,
and that he finally wrested
the buldgeon away from
him and hammered his as
sailant with it.
