Full United t'ress No. 184. nn B BDUFJ Ml mm . I Nysl BODYOFV By raul Mallon . Copyright. 1035, by Paul Mallon WASHINGTON, Oct. 34. Not all the peace moves made by President Roosevelt lately have been made pub lie. There was one In particular which has been tied up J by requirements secrecy. You will probably not hear about It until someone within the administra tion starts telling all in retrospect. The result of It, however. Is that officials hero are far less nervous now than PAUL MALLON at any time In months. Of course, they never know how much laitn to place In words, especially private diplomatic words. But they really have ground to be lieve that there Is substance behind the published peace dispatches which lately have come from Europe. -: Consequently, they have swerved from their expectations of a general war In Europe now and believe It will occur two years hence. Then Ger many will be ready. What Is expected now Is a lull In the situation publlely.whtle London and Rome dicker through parts. The un derlying situation Is that the nations are involved In constant Becret diplo macy and will let little leak out until they are ready to speak. Britain Is supposed to be searching for a way to let II Duce consolidate his position (save his lace) In Ethi opia and at the same time permit the league to fold In Its whiskers without getting them slngod- The English got what they wanted., an acknowledgement' 'of their Mediter ranean domination. ' The only trouble is that everyone projected Lis face a little farther than necessary, thus complicating a peaceful withdrawal of 1 necks. Also annoying Is the fact that Halle Selas sie seems to have served his purpose as a European football and Is likely to resent the lack of Interest which may shortly be displayed toward him and his cause. American officials at last have a satisfactory private explanation of what Mussolini wanted In Ethiopia. His military campaign was undertak en, as they now understand It, solely becauseJ of the domestic economic sit uation in Italy. - His gold was being depleted any way by an adverse trade balance. He needed raw materials. The tillable land In Italy was nearly all used up. His tests Indicated that raw mater ials, such as cotton, could be grown on the Ethiopian highlands. Furthermore, the young fascist ele ment was howling for action In the face of a bad domestic economic sit uation. (Continued on Page Eight) YOUNG DEMOCRATS FOR LARGER CAPITOL SITE SALEM. Oct. 24.
