It was interpreted by many as a warning that the government is cooling toward the League of Na tions, after leading It all during the dangerous months of the Italian Ethiopian war, and aa calculated to weaken measurably the foreign pol icy of young Anthony Eden, foreign secretary. Hoare made his speech In the se cluded atmosphere of the Cambridge Union at Cambridge. He used the round term "half dozen" In discuss ing economic units. He mentioned only three the nations of continen tal Europe, the United States and fellow American "friends" and vast Soviet Russian. It was assumed that a fourth unit would be the British empire; a fifth might be Japan and China. That left, If the "half dozen" idea were pursued, one unit in which the dominant nation might be Germany, France or fascist Itaiy. None was mentioned at all in Hoare's speech. It was conceded he might not have meant to make a binding division of the whole world, but he left little room for the ambitions of many powers. ETHIOPS OPPOSING ITALIAN.CONQUEST London.

RELIEF FUNDS RESTRICTED BY MARTIN EDICT (Continued from page 1) indebtedness certificates against an ticipated profits of the liquor com mission for relief purposes. "The depression is over and steps must be taken to reduce the relief load In Oregon to a point where It will balance tne cash Income," the governor advised Goudy, adding that he took the action "simply because the emergency has now passed." "I do not propose to add the cost of relief onto the backs of the tax payers of this state. They have a heavy load to meet. From now on the state relief committee will have to operate on the revenue supplied it by the liquor control commission as provided In the law. "The public works program Is of sufficient size and distributed about the state extensively enough to take care of those who are employable. In addition to that we have the seasonal crops, the harvest of which will require many workers and en able them to make enough to pay tneir own way." Heretofore it has been the prac tice when relief funds became ex hausted for the state to Issue cer tificates of Indebtedness against an ticipated liquor commission profits, and at times these pledged obliga tions have amounted to as much as $900,000 but they have all been paid off. Governor Martin warned Goudy that hereafter the relief committee must keep within the estimated rev nues - of the ' liquor commission, which last year amounted to about $1,800,000. To meet the existing emergency Governor Martin today arranged with A. K. McMahan, chairman of the liquor commission, for the Im mediate turnover of 8150,000 in ac crued liquor profits, but advised Goudy that further turnovers must be controlled so as not to impair the operating capital of the liquor board. ... .

On May 31 there were 26,713 persons on relief Oovernor Martin refused to sign 8200,000 certificates of Indebtedness against anticipated state liquor pro fits, and ordered that expenditures be balanced "against actual cash Income." Goudy said he could not tell oft hand what transition problems will be Involved, but Indicated there would be no hardship when the new system becomes established. "There will be some further re duction In relief rolls, but not much, as most of the employables now have Jobs," he said.
