IT is a pretty safe wager, however, that the report from Adowa
is substantially correct. For this was the scene of Italy's
humiliating defeat at the hands of Ethiopia forty years ago.
It was a foregone conclusion that Italy would strike first, at this
historic point, to feed the flames of militant patriotism and
sweet revenge back home. The
cold blooded slaughter, but the

Thumbing the marble balustrade with his clenched fist, shooting
out his underjaw and showing the whites of his eyes, like a
stampeding cayuse, Benito defied England, France and the
League of Nations, and figuratively speaking vfircd a load of
buckshot into the dove of peace.

tions of war, Benito intends to have his way, Italy has been
denied long enough "her place in the sun." If need be II Duce
and his armed legions, will take on the world, rather than give
up their "will to power," their determination to shoot down

What Will the
YES this puts it up to the League in no unccrtniu tonus. The
members are pledged to oprose militant and unprovoked
aggression, well the militant aggression has started, now what
will they dol
Presumably they will impose economic sanctions against
Italy, as the first step. What will this mean! Well it may
mean a number of things, and here we nnme to the nub of the
present situation, as far as Italy and the League are concerned.
In that speech delivered yesterday Mussolini in regard to
sanctions declared :
"To sanctions of an economic character, we shsll respond
with the spirit of discipline, with sobriety, and with sacrifice."
In other words II Duce will
as an unfriendly act a cause for war sanctions will be en
dured, not resisted by force.
In view of what economic sanctions may involve, rather an
extraordinary statement, and perhaps the key to just what is
going on in Europe at the present time.
For there is no doubt that England and France could impose
an economic blockade against Italy, which would render a
successful invasion of Ethiopia practically impossible. Italy litis
no coal, no oil. In Africa her army is over- a thousand miles
from her base of supplies. She could not properly supply her
troops with food and ammunition, in face of a GENUINE eco
nomic boycott on the part of the members of the League of
Natins.
BUT perhaps this economic boycott will NOT be genuine.

period, France, England and Italy had come to a secret under

Hardly in view of Mussolini's complacent acceptance of the
threat of economic sanctions.
Of course this is only a guess. It may or may not be true
or even near the truth.
But there is this solid foundation for its probability.
The world war was supposed to end secret diplomacy and
usher in an era of open covenants openly arrived at. But it did
nothing of the sort. Since the world war secret diplomacy has
flourished, just as it did before.
At one time Italy and France had an understanding that
Italy would join with France against Germany and Austria, in
case of a European war, and in return Italy would be given a
free hand in Ethiopia. Just what has become of that under
standing is not known, but it would not bo surprising, if it had
been superseded by an understanding between France, Italy and
England, that Mussolini would still be given a free hand in east
ern Africa, that England and France to save the League from
extinction would go through the motions of imposing sanctions;
that Italy on her part would sec to it that such sanctions, mild
in character, would not be resisted and thus, the extension of
ftie hostilities in Ethiopia to Europe would be impossible.
Entirely speculative of course, but if true, it would not be
the first time a weak and defenseless nation, has been sacrificed
on the altar of imperialistic ambition and the maintenance of
the European balance of power.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Castor Beans
Please Inform your readers that
castor "beans" or seeds are poisonous
to domestic animals as well as repel
lant to rats and gophers. Friend lost
a valuable bulldog from poisoning
the dog ate Just two of the seeds
which dropped off a castor plant in
his yard. (A. J. C.)
Answer That Is correct. Taken in
ternally castor seeds or "beans" are
powerfully cathartic and often eme
tic. Two will purge with great vio
lence, and three have produced fatal
gastro-en teritls In man. 60 don't
scatter these seeds about the premises
to eradicate rats or gophers If you
have a dog or other pet or any animal
that may eat the seeds.
Sweet Tooth
I am very fond of sweets, custards,
puddings, etc., and I even want a lot
of sugar on my fresh fruit. But I have
high blood pressure and am quite
stout and I am supposed to cat much
sugar. Any reason why I should not
use saccharin instead? (M. A. K.)
Answer You may safely use up to
5 grains per day of saccharin as a
sweetener in place of sugar. But this
wilt scarcely solve the problem. If
you have an adequate dally Intake of
vitamins, your craving for carbohyd
rate will be moderated. You will be ,
satisfied with a reasonable amount of
food. Send ten cents coin and stamp-1

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS (
B1
IO news and little news on the
day this Is written.
The biggest news In the world, of
course, is the threatened war in Ethi
opia, and as to that a dispatch from
Addis Ababa says:
"Emperor Halle Selassie was report
ed tonight to call for a general mo
bilization of approximately two mil
lion fighting men.
"All that remained In the way of
such action waa to determine from
his representatives In Geneva whether
the league of nations would fall In
efforts to prevent an Italian attack."
1TTILI the league atop Italy?
" Probably not, unless It Is pre
pared to say to Mussolini: "If you hit
Ethiopia, we'll hit you HARDER.
The prospects of that being said"
don't at the present moment appear
good.
THIS writer, incidentally, ts glad
the United States Isn't bound by
solemn agreement to say to Iltaly:
"If you go to war with Ethiopia, we'll
go to war with you."
This country has a disturbing habtt
of KEEPING Its. agreemente. In Eu
rope, nations keep their agreements
only when it is profitable for them
to do so.
f-
THE league of nations was a beau
tiful dream that could have got
this country Into a lot of trouble.
The New Deal Is another beautiful
dream that CAN get this country Into
a lot of trouble.
Dreams, if they are to do much
good for humanity, must be PRAC
TICAL as well as beautiful.
THIS big head7inecatches the eye:
"Two Portland Killers Sought."
The two kilters shot down a deputy
sheriff when he challenged them on
a lonely road apparently, It appears
as these words are written, because
of the Illegal shooting of a pheasant.
Thus another fs added to the long
list, here on the Pacific Coast, of of
ficers shot down In the 'performance
of their duay.
1 "70U may have read, in this column
few days ago, figures Indicat
ing that for each four murders com
mitted in this country only about
one murderer Is CAUHT and that
only about one murderer out of
EIOHTY is executed.
If we caught and punished more
murderers, there would be fewer of
these cold-blooded killings.
AND It Is highly probable that If
government devoted more at
tention to catching criminals, which
Is clearly and plainly the business
of government, and less attention to
a tot of things which are clearly NOT
the business of government, we would
all be better off and government
would be more highly respected.

The city was quiet, but apprehen
sive. The Emperor held a meeting of the
crown council to determine the em
pire's course of action in th light of
the alleged Aduwa bombing.
The report of the air bombing raid
reached the capital while the Em
peror was at p ayer in the Imperial
chapel at dawn.
Fear More Raids
The news created fears there would
be a similar raid against Addis Ababa.
All day the inhabitants were seen
glancing toward the sklea as though
they feared a sudden swarm of air
planes across the mountains, carrying
a rain of gas bombs and high ex
plosives. Engagements In different sectors of
the northern and southern fronts
were reported constantly, but they
were not officially confirmed.
Most of the Italians In the capital
stayed off the streets. Some of them
said they feared they might be In
jured. But the Associated Press corres
pondent encountered the Italian mil
itary attache cashing a oheck at the
bank. He was informed of the Aduwa
bombardment report and replied:
"Is it possible? It was renlly a sur
prise." The Italian minister was walking
In the garden of the Italian legation
shortly before noon when the Associ
ated Press correspondent Informed
him that fighting already was re
ported. Vlncl appeared decidedly nervous.
He said he lacked all news from bis
government.
May Seek Vengeance
Commandant Dothee of the Bel
gian military mission was present at
the Interview and suggested that the
Ethiopians might seek vengeance as
the result of reports that women and
children had been killed by bombing,
planes at Aduwa.
Vlncl said he hoped there would be
no reprisals.
Asked If measures had been taken
to protect the legation, the diplomat
replied: "I am at this moment taking
precautions."
Emperor Halle jSelassle himself dis
patched 200 Ethiopian soldiers to
guard the legation, forbidding even
Italians to enter because of the'dan
ger of espionage plots.
Vlncl stated: "I have no Instruc
tions from Premier Muavilinl on how
to proceed. I know nothing of Aduwa.
I must await the arrival of the con
sul ir aaents from the Interior before
I can think of leaving'
Serious Clash Reported
The Italian consular employes are
expected to arrive tomorrow from
Dessie and those from Debj-a Markos
may get In Saturday.
(The Addis Ababa correspondent of
the Paris Intranalgetnt reports that
Italian troops advancing 30 kilo
meters Into Ethiopia in the Assaua
region met "Independent" Dsnskhll
forces with serious clashes.)

He had lines out everywhere, personal
contacts extending beyond those of
any other man In the country. His
home and office were open forums
for people who knew what was going
on. When he entered the White
House, he changed all that. The re
sponsibilities of lmmedlnto diltles
closed up the old avenues.
These have been reopened. Today
Mr. Hoover is again one of the best
Informed men In the country. He
knows what is going on nearly every
where. And he has added politics to
the subjects in which he Is Interested.
There probably are more erroneous
stories going around the country
about Mr. Hoover than about Presi
dent Roosevelt. The latest Is that he
has set up a gigantic political organi
zation, secretly, and. when the right
time comes, he will emerge as the
next republican standard bearer.
Nothing could be sillier.
Anyone traveling across the cotin
try, talking with republican and dem
ocratic leaders, will fail to find any
evidence of a Hoover political organi
zation. There Is none. Even Mr. Hoo
ver's best friends are talking of other
candidates. He has contacts, but not
aggressive personal support.
Furthermore. Mr. Hoover Is one of
the worst politicians who ever sat in
the White House. He never ran for a
public office, except the presidency.
Essentially, politics Is not his game.
To get the background of the Palo
AHoan, you have to get a glimpse of
his study. It has wide windows like
a showcase, looking out over the Stan
ford campus and at the Brown main
tain ridge beyond, the peak of which
is Mt. Diablo (The Devil). Strangely
enough, It bears no resemblance to
Mr. Roosevelt. There is a large stone
fireplace into which Mr. Hoover casts
cigar stubs. His desk is clean. No let
ters He around from day to day. The
Incoming mall Is large. Farmers and
other people who do not know him
write of their experlencfs and troub
les. Prominent business men and poli
ticians communicate with him also
and always look him up when on the
coast. They are served oranee Juice
and a cigar. They find him looking
ten years younger than when he left
the White House, warmer, more
friendly, smiling, and, believe It or
not. taking a humorous view of some
situations.
None of these visitors, and. In fact,
no living person here or elsewhere hns
been told what he Intends to do In
the next campaign. But If he has
anything In his sleeve. It certainly
does not rattle.
