Undated, Oct. 21, —Italian
arms are poised for the big
push into interior Ethiopia,
the belief is current, for Ad
dis Ababa.
Mussolini may try to ini
tiate direct peace negotia
tions shortly, accredited for
eign observers said today,
with the crisis merely sus
pended and delayed.
A dispatch from field head
quarters of the northern Ital
ian armies reported slight
flank advances had strength
ened the Fascist front line,
for a renewed drive south
ward.
Italian soldiers on the south
ern front wiped out strong
Ethiopian forces, reports to
day stated. Rains are still de
laying advances.
Observers held that the
Franco-British problem of
guarantees was not solved be
cause Laval’s reply to the
British demand for a show
down, became qualified.
Italo-British relations are
far from satisfactory because
Mussolini shows no desire to
close the war and Great Bri
tain shows no disposition to
let it continue.
Laval is still trying to find
a way to give Italy occupation
al rights in northern Ethiopia
and an economic mandate ov
er the rest of the Empire, and
at the same time save the face
of the League of Nations.
Mussolini started a public
subscription today for a huge
war loan from every bank in
the country.
In London, authoritative
sources dropped hints that a
new plank for peace has be
gun to crystalize in Rome,
London, and Paris as a result
of the easing of the tension
over the weekend. It was em
phasized that the move was
in its earliest stage.

Principles Behind Plan of Rural Rehabili
tation Voiced In Article Describin'* The
Ambitions and Viewpoints of Settlers
By Howard Lvn
Ass’t. Manager of A. R. R. C.
%
A short while ago I gave
you a brief summary of the
physical aspects of the Mata
nuska Valley Colonization
Project. It might be of some
slight interest to your many
readers if I supplement the
former article with a brief
outline of the cooperative
plan under which the pro
ject is to function.
‘.Reams of copy have been
turned out by scores of scrib
es concerning the various
stages of this Project’s cons
truction and it’s attendant
fanfare, but very little has
been written regarding the
ideals that brought this and
similar undertakings into be
ing, and but slight mention
has been made of the meth
ods to be used whereby this
particular project will fulfill
the destiny for which it was
intended.
It might be well to first
consider briefly the underly
ing principles of Rural Rehab
ilitation as propounded and
laid down for us by the heavy
thinking Brain Trusters of
the National Capitol; for
while there is some variation
of procedure due to location
and climate, nevertheless the
basic ideas are the same for
all projects now under way.
“The primary purpose be
hind the general scheme is to
assist in solving the national
problem of taking some mil
lions of people off the relief
rolls and in keeping them off
permanently. It is also funda
mental that large groups of
people, who through no fault
of their own find themselves
shakled to farm areas convert
ed into veritable deserts by
widespread soil erosion which
has been brought about by
the monumental floods and
terrific dust storms of recent
years, that they should be
transplanted to more suitable
areas, where they can be af
forded the opportunity of re
habilitating themselves to'
that point of economic freed
om which is the inherent
right of every free born Am
erican.
1 Other large groups of our
population have been engag
ed for long years in the hope
less task of trying to scratch
out an existence on soil which
has long ago lost its fertility,
gradually pulling these peop
le down to disastrously low
levels.
“The present administra
tion takes the attitude that
these economic refugees can
not be allowed to starve; that
the economic disaster which
has ground them down, im
paired their health and rob
bed them of a normal, decent
existence, must and should
be remedied. One of the med
iums by which this great
task is being accomplished is
termed Rural Rehabilitation.
“The word cooperative has
during the past several years
become increasingly import-'

Premier Laval Is
Reelected Sunday
Delegate Election
(By The Associated Press)
Paris, Oct. 21, — Premier
Laval was reelected Sunday
in an election stm (Stt
country drifting slightly to
ward the left. Laval won two
seats in the senate, in the ar
rangement possible under the
French system, in what was
considered a virtual plebiscite
of both his careful Italo-Eth
iopian policy and his drastic
moves to maintain economic
stability at home.
Marcel Cachin, first regul
ar communist to ever sit in
the upper house of France,
was also elected, notwith
standing the Premier’s suc
cess, who faces a fight to ov
erthrow his cabinet by the
leftist and popular front,
when the Chamber of Depu
ties reconvenes.
One hundred and seven
seats were filled in Sunday’s
election, or one-third of the
senate. The outcome was on
ly an indirect expression of
the popular feeling, since the
balloting was by members of
the Departmental General,
and the Council’s delegates to
the municipal council, instead
of the people.
