a particular study of the rice proc

In other words. Cu minings' verdict
Is that the farmers themselves and
the city consumers are p.iying for

Other new deal authorities have

May Follow Hoare in
Resigning Amid Criticism
LONDON, Dec. 19. (AP) The
house of lords ave a Tote of
confidence to the government
without a division today at the
conclusion of the debate over
the Franco-British proposals for
ending the war In East Africa.
A vote was expected In the
house of commons ahout 1 1
p.m. (6:30 p.m., eastern stand
ard time).
Hy Devon Francis
Associated Press Staf Writer
The Franco -British plan for settle
ment of the Italo-Ethloplan war as ;
formally eliminated today by the
council of the league of nations as a
basis for discussion.
Instructing Its committee of 13 to
proceed with attempts at concilia
tion, the council sent to its archives
the formula of Premter Laval of
France and Sir Samuel Hoare of Eng
land, who retired yesterday from his
post as British foreign secretary be
cause of popular displeasure with the
plan. A member of the league council
said there was no immediate question
of Imposing an oil embargo on Italy.
Feared League Collapse
Defining his participation In prep
aration of the plan. Sir Samuel told
the house of commons todayCreat
Britain's recent foreign policy was
based on the fear that the league of
nations might collapre not on fear
of "any Italian threat." i
If the Italians attacked us." said i
Hoare, speaking merely as a member
of the house, "we would retaliate and. 1
Judging from past history, w should
retaliate with full success."
Hoare. who like Prime Minister
Baldwin had arrived In the house of
commons without being given any
applause, waa cheered at the end of
his speech.
The resignation of the foreign sec
retary was followed by a report from
Parla that Premier Laval might also
bow out amid the storm of criticism
against the proposal for Ethiopian
peace.
In London the life of the Baldwin
government, little more than a month
old, apparently hung In the balance.
Bitter Fighting
Italian and Ethiopian troops fought
bitterly today for the possession of
land which, in European repercus
sions toproposala of peace, had pre
cipitated a crisis In one government
and near-crisis in anotner.
Hundreds were reported dead in
sanguinary engagements.
The most ambitious Ethiopian as
saults on east Africa's northern front
since the start of the war were re
pulsed by the Italians, said dispatch
es from Asmara, Eritrea, and the fas
cist black-shirts retaliated with vig
orous counter-movements.
The Ethiopian commander on the
west bank of the Takkaze river. Dca
Jar-match Ayale, claimed a major vic
tory for his forces near the Holy city
of Aksum. He reported to Emperor
Halle Selassie, who Is at Dessye, that
the Italians had fled In disorder
"leaving the battlefield strewn with
dead."

Reconstruction Commission
Votes to Hire Widely
Noted Architect to Aid
in Conducting Contest
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 10. ( AP)
The Oregon capltol reconstruction
commission voted 'today to engage
some nationally prominent architect
to help conduct a natlon-wtde con
test to determine the best design for
Oregon's new cnpltol to replace the
burued structure.
The subcommittee of T. H. Ban
field, Dr. H. H. dinger and W. H.
Lake was Instructed to communicate
with six or more noted architects
and ask each If he would be avail
able to come to Oregon as technical
advisor of the commission In con
ducting the contest.
The advisor would survey the ac
commodatlona required in the new
structure, what alro It would be for
the 2,800,000 allocated, and outline
rules for the design contest.
The commission would appoint
from Its personnel a Jury to decide
the contest winner.
Tnke Three Months
It wan estimated the cost of an
advisor would range from $3,500 to
(5,000 and the contest would require
three months.
Commissioner Banfleld, chairman
of the subcommittee, said C. C. Hock
ley, state PWA administrator, advised
that- the government-woulthiiot obv
Ject to tno extra time for the contest
provided the contest Is open to all
architects In the country.
Banfleld said he desired the best
capltol possible, and did not believe
It would be possible to construct a
capltol and a library building both
for the 92,500,000 provided.
The library would cost at least
$400,000, he said.
Commissioner Sawyer said he knew
a library building was needed badly,
but suggested It was the capltol
which burned, The concensus waa
that the library should ba forgotten
for the present unless capltol esti
mates showed a surplus available.

The commission approved the con
tract for and acceptance of the a,
575,000 federal grant, as drafted by
Ralph E. Moody, assistant attorney
