PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 3. Mr.
Hoover Is not a candidate and will

In '36, Is a political and .economic
leader, an Influential one.
His friends say
he has retired,
but. of course, he
has not. Even he
may assume that
he has retired,
but It Is nhyslc

What haa happened to Mr. Hoover
is that he has become again the man

when, unworrled and alert, he knew
practically everything of Importance

in the world.

The ex-presldent's personal outlook
cannot be known officially. Wisely,
he gives no publlshable Interviews.
But he talks freely with many friends,
and they know that the view from
his study window towcrd the world
of politics Ms substantially this:
For twenty-three years, before he
left the White House, he never had
been out of a pressing administrative
' or executive Job. He carried his troub
les to bed with him and arose to face
them again In the morning. Now, for
the first time in his life, he has no
troubles. Ha can go fishing whenever
he wants to, and he can play.
The White House to him is a house
haunted with troubles and man-klll-Ing
responsibilities. No man of his
position, In his right mind, would
ever want to give up the enjoyment
of life and return to them.
Vindication might be sweet, but
life Is sweeter.
The secret of Mr. Hoover which the
country does not understand is the
tvpe of playing he has chosen to en
Joy. Before ho entered the White
House, he had one hobby. He amused
himself by trying to find out every
thing that was going on In econom

As secretary of commerce he was

Fighting Breaks Gut
As Mussolini's Army
Crosses Border Line
(By the Associated Press)
An undeclared war flared into East Africa today.
The reports of fierce fighting, of Italian air raids, re-echoed ominously
over the capitals of the world.
- In Geneva, in London, Paris, throughout all Europe, statesmen asked:
Will it be 1914 all over again?
One British government source, commenting on the air raid report from
Addis Ababa, said: "This is the only declaration of war there will be."
League of Nations circles said war was in effect.
In London and in Paris, the stock market slumped. The man in the street,
reading the "war" headlines, wondered: What next? Where will it end?
In the United States,

Comment in Washington reflected the seriousness of the situation. Sen-,

Why They Fight
Arms Compared
(By the Associated Press)
The aggressive demands of Premier
Mussolini and the adamant refusals
of Emperor Halle Selassie of Ethiopia
are the basis of the Italo-Ethloplan
dispute.
Italy suffered a crushing defeat,
not yet avenged, at the hands of
Ethiopians at Aduwa in 1806, when
8,000 Italians were killed and 3,000
captured.
II Dues, early in 1034. said Italy's
future lies in Africa, which "must be
brought Into civilization."
Border clashes between Ethiopians
and Italians, especially that at Wal-wal-
In December 1034, brought the
situation Into the world spotlight.
Each nation charged aggression by
the other, and Ethiopia demanded
that the League of Nations Investi
gate. A conciliation commission held
neither was to blame.
Italy charged Ethiopia should be
removed from the league, that the
Ethiopian government was unflc to
rule its diversified peoples, that Its
wandering tribes constantly menaced
Italian colonies, and that Italy must
control and "civilise" the country In
self -protection.
The league found no solution ac
ceptable to both.
Italy has over 200,000 fighting men
In her East African colonies and ap
proximately 800,000 more mobilized
at home. In addition to over ft, 800,
000 reserves In Italy. The troops have
modern equipment. Italy possesses
1,507 military airplanes.
Ethiopia has 800,000 warriors, but
many are attached to Individual trl
bal chieftains whose allegiance to
Emperlor Halle Selassie Is not always
assured. Haile Selassie asserts 300.000
are armed with guns, but many of
these are old-fashioned. The rest of
the fighters have primitive weapons,
Military experts say the Ethiopians
have some modern machine guns and
airplanes, and twenty modern anti
aircraft guns displayed recently occa
sioned some surprise among foreign
observers.
Ethiopia has no navy, being Inland.
Italy ranks fifth among the world
powers In si of its navy.

Italy fabricates them, . largely from

PARTS, Oct. 3. (AP) An agree
ment between French and British
leaders on League of Nations action
for the Immediate rupture of finan
cial and economla relations with Italy
was announced today.
This action followed an hour'a con
ference between Premier Laval and
Anthony Eden, British minister for
League of Nations affairs. .
At the conclusion of their confer'
ence, Laval stated:
'Mr. Eden and I talked over the
order of the day for the council of
tne league. We have considered van
ous methods of procedure. We will
continue In close collaboration at
ueneva.';
Agree on 3 Points
Officials said that at the end of
their conversation. Eden and the
French premier had agreed on the
following three points:
1. The Immediate rupture of finan
cial and economic relations submit
ted to the approval of the League of
Nations;
-. The lifting of the arms embargo
against Ethiopia with financial as
sistance to Emperor Halle Selassie for
national defense If necessary;
3. The prohibition of the purchase
of Italian goods by members of the
league and likewise the sale of goods
from league members to Italy, also
forbidding the sale or transportation
of any war munitions to Italy.
Not To Close Canal
It was authoritatively atated that
uvai and Eden had discussed clos
ing the Suez canal through which
Italy Is shipping her soldiers to east
Africa but that the British states,
man told the French that the Brit.
ish cabinet had decided such a step
woum do too risay.
Laval promised, officials said, that
the French cabinet, at tomorrow's
meeting, would give France's affirm
ative reply to Oreat Britain's request
ror French assistance If Italv attack
ed Great Britain In the Mediterran
ean before the league could act under
tne covenant.
France's agreement, It waa said, was
based on a desire for the same guar
antees from England In case of a
similar attack against the French.
Eden goes on to Geneva tonight,
where Laval expects to Join him after
