England Redoubles Efforts To
Bring About Peace Over
Dispute East Africa
(By The Associated Press)
UNDATED, July 19, — Emperor
Haile Selassis’ exhortation to the
Ethiopians to "fight to the last man"
aroused enthusiasm in Ethiopia and
increased the determination to pre
vent Italy from conquering their
nation.
Unofficial Italian sources interpret
ed the Emperor's speech as indicat
ing that he would not give in to the
Italian demands. The Ethiopians are
1 reported to be considering his plea
for a call to arms.
In London, the speech acted as a
stimulus to England's efforts to ar
range peace between the two na
tions.
Officials of the League of Nations
indicated they still hoped the dis
pute might yet be settled peaceful
ly, pointing out that the commis
sion for conciliation still has until
July 25th to reach a decision, or
extend their deliberations.
The newspaper Nichinichi, in Tok
yo said that the Japanese Foreign
Office attached particular importan
ce to the East African crisis because
it was a dispute between the white
and colored races. However, the
Foreign Office spokesman asserted
that Japan was merely watching
with "great concern.”

‘ Huey Long needs a good poke in

the job himself if he had time.

, learned the Louisiana Kingfish had
called President Roosevelt a liar.
’‘Nobody ought to be able to get
away with that” Mix said angrily.

myself and sock him a good one.
Huey could better busy himself by
explaining that Long Island black
eye before some gives him anoth
er one.”
