French Attitude
Ethiopian Crisis
(By The Associated Press)
Undated, Oct. 17, —Great
Britain’s dissatisfaction with
France’s conciliatory attitude
in the Ethiopian crisis, met
with a decision that Premier
Laval lay before the French
cabinet, the question of going
the whole way with Great
Britain in supporting the Lea

London’s decision not to
diminish her Mediterranean
military forces, was a cold
damper on Laval’s efforts to
end the war.
The British ar striving to
hasten the “buy nothing from
Italy program” through the
League’s sanctions commit

second time in two days with

Economic worries of some

providing stumbling blocks.
In Rome observers express

breaking point, with unfor
seen rapidity. _

COMMENT

Italy, in debt to the United
States in the sum of 30 mill
ion dollars on account of the
international unpleasantness
of about 20 years ago, creates
a war chest of 240 million .
Great Britain, in the hole for
the same reason to the ex
tent of 380 million, is said to
be contemplating a naval
building program calling for
the expenditure of a billion
dollars. It is alleged that a
propaganda campaign is un
der way, with a view to in
volving tthe United States in
the African row. The symbol
for this country sometimes is
the familiar figure of Uncle
Sam Again it is the eagle
If the USA permits herself
to be drawn into the existing
difficulty, Congress should
pass a law throwing Uncle
Sam and the eagle into the
discard and substituting a
poor fish, preferably the suck
er, or the monkey pulling the
chestnuts out of the fire
Shakespeare said:Roses have
thorns, silver fountains mud,
clouds and eclipses stain both
sun and moon. All of which
is likely to be confirmed in
the instance of the New York
lad who found a package of
lost bonds, returned them to
the owner and received a re
ward of fifteen thousand dol
lars. The income tax report
will have to be filed and the
bill paid.
Life certainly presents some
strange contrasts. On the 24th
of September. Max Baer and
Joe Louis indulged in fist
cuffs for a quarter of an hour
or so in Manhattan, and each
received more than two hun

sore torso . Representatives
of the soft coal diggers and
their paymasters were con
