Want Peace But
Preparing Fight
Even To Last Man
(By The Associated Press)
ADDIS ABABA, July 20, — Emper
] or Haile Selassie’s stirring appeal to
the world said that peace was on the
verge of being drowned with tears
of blood if war is launched by Italy.
When asked whether Ethiopia
would choose between conciliation
and war in view of the large forc
es already mobilized by Mussolini
on Ethiopian borders, the Emperor
declared that his empire would de
fend its territory to the last man.
Ever since the crushing defeat to
the army of Ethiopia about forty
years ago Italy has nourished a de
sire to attack us said Selassie. This
desire it is assumed today is more
; acute and menacing in its form
' than in all history. Italy has pro
claimed her desire for warfare to
all the world by her rejection of all
our advances for peace and our sin
cere desire for conciliation, which
she has consistently rebuffed.
Two thousand years after the
Crucifixion of Christ peace will be
drown in tears of blood and war,
said the emperor.

TOKYO ANSWERS NOTE

PROTEST VIOLATIONS

Note Was in Answer ! o Protests Received
From Moseow Of Alleg'd N iolalions Of
Soviet Territory Near Khabarovsk
(By The Associated Press')
TOKYO, July 20—The Soviets’ hard note to Japan on
July 1st protesting against violations of its territory, evoked
an equally sharp reply toda\
Foreign Minister Hirota’s note said that Manchiukuo’s
claim to the delta land of Santsyaochow, at the confluence of
the Amur and Assuri Rivers, near Khabarov sk remayjed
.unaltered despite the Russian protest.
Ambassador Yourenefif delivered the Soviets’ strongly
worded note at Tokyo July 1st, after a number of frontier
incidents, which said that the continuation of such incidents
“may have very serious consequences in the relations of the
U. S. S. R. and Japan, on the peace of the Far East.’'
The Japanese ambassador’s reply to this note bristled
with charges of untruth and misrepresentation. The reply
was received by the Soviet embassy this morning, but has
resulted in no comments as yet. It is doubtful whether the
Soviets care to enter any argument of notes with Japan over
the question involved, previously taking not the slightest
interest through diplomatic channels of alleged violations,
until July 1st.
