Whnt State Secretary Hull would like to find out Is who wrote that note for Halle Sp laaale. If the em peror did It him self he la a smart er Ethiopian than anyone thought and worthy of haunting any in ternational wood pile. Apparently Mr. Hull was stunned at first by the embarrassing ap peal to us to en- TTnllncrff TAIL MA1.LUN pact. At least he stalled for time by asking the American charge at Addis Ababa for "a full report." Impatient and annoyed, he strum med hie desk and searched the celling of his office for an answer. Eventu ally be found out before the "full re port" came from Addla Ababa. He dashed it otr, took It with him to the Friday cabinet meeting, and President Koosevelt signed It Imme diately. There 1 nothing In the story that Mr. Hull was unable to think of any answer at all and that Mr. Roosevelt wrote the response. The response was that President Koosevelt was gratified that the League of Nations was trying to set tle the dispute: that the pact of Parle waa Important too. and (with further evasive ponderosity) that we were "loath to believe" Italy and Ethiopia would fight about such things. How milch Mr. Hull believed his own words is evidenced by the fact that he immediately slipped the word to his legation at Addis Abnba to get all Americans out of Ethiopia before the war started. Mr. Hull may have found better an awers on his celling In the past bvit at least thla one let everyone know he Is not going to get mixed up In the Ethi opian mess, even if he never finds a particularly good reason wrhy. A reorgnlzatlon of housing agencies la being planned by Mr. Roosevelt to take effect right after congress ad journs. The big shot In the new scheme will probably be John H. Ta ney, chairman of the home owners loan corporation. The crowd at the federal housing administration will be renovated and remodeled. Control probably will rest in a co-ordinating committee head ed by Mr. Pahey. Functions will be more clearly defined to eliminate overlapping and current confusion. President Roosevelt is bent on stimulating thla phaso of the new deal. Fahey rates the Job because his HOLO la the beat run of the housing groups. He is a former president of the U. 8.
