By EDWARD la conquered. Emperor lias fled to alumrj a I'.rltlsh cruiser, and the Italian army Is in possession of Addis Ababa. The war In East Africa Is ended. ISut this climax may be only ttie beginning of a still greater story, for ETIIIOI'IA W. PICK ARD C YVsatsra Newspaper Union. I'ul-estln- e Benito Mussolini the world that all of Ethiopia now belongs to Italy, to be treatHewJiafieMttW;.! ed as a colony and Benito defended by force Mussolini of arras If neces sary. He toned this down Just a little by giving the French ambassador assurance that he would not Infringe on French and British Interests In East Africa, meaning the French railway from Djibouti to Addis Ababa and the British Interests In the Lake Tana headwaters of the Blue Nile. 11 Duce Intimated that If France and Britain would support his program he would give them full trade privileges In Ethiopia and exclude all other nations. The League of Nations council was about to meet In Geneva and senIt was believed the timent among the French left parties that have Just come Into power would Influence the French attitude there. The British, too, were Buid not to be reconciled to Mussolini's victory and It was understood Foreign Secretary Eden would insist on continuance of the penalties against Italy, provided the other leading nations agreed. Indeed, the league could not well raise the sanctions If the European powers take the stand assumed last fall by the United States and refuse to recognize acquisition of territory by force. All of them realize such recognition In this case would create a dangerous precedent Mussolini's success in East Africa is a humiliating defeat for Great Britain, and a sad blow to the prestige of the League of Nations. Anthony Eden told the house of commons that Britain's full tire to take military sanctions against Italy was "due to the horror of war and not to fear of the ultimate outcome." The Laborites enraged Eden by their attacks and he refused to disclose what the government's policy at Geneva might he, demanding a free hand to deal with circumstances as they might arise. One result In Washington of the taking of Addis Ababa was severe criticism of the State department for having so wretchedly protected a legation there. tells antl-FascI- . of EMPEROR HAILE SELASSIE gave up the hopeless fight against the Italian invaders and fled from Addis Ababa with his family.

The Chief Executive had refused to countenance the earmarking of $100,000,000 for projects of the heavy type sponsored by Secretary Ickes, head of the Public Works administration, and so the adherents of the latter gentleman were prepared to revive the old Ickes Hopkins feud. Majority Leader Bankhead was confident the bill would be paused as reported by the appropriations committee. At a Republican caucus Representative John Taber of New York, ranking minority member of the appropriations committee, explained the measure to his colleagues so that they could conduct an "intelligent opposition" to it. He promised a real tight on the bill. When Hopkins was before the committee In secret session, he was ordered to give detailed Information concerning his expenditure of the four billions deeded him by congress last year. Hopkins reluctantly admitted that nearly two billions of the original huge fund was still unexpended. Added to the extra one and a half billions requested by l'rcsident Roosevelt, Hopkins would have three and a half billions to spend in an election year, it was pointed out. CALIFORNIA'S Presidential preference primary, eagerly awaited by the whole country resulted in the defeat of the Landon slate of delegates that was put forward by William R. Hearst and Governor Merriam, with Landon's tacit consent. The win- ning delegates, hacked by Herbert jjf: Hoover and nominally pledged to Earl Warren though carunlnstructed, Alf Landon ried the state by a majority of about 00,000. Mr. War ren announced at once that he released them from their pledge, to vote as they see fit in the conven tion. This looked like a blow to Gov ernor Landon, and to a certain extent it was; but his managers claim at least IS of the delegates will go over to the Kansan on an early bal lot. Moreover, many friends of Landon deprecated the fact that Hearst was supporting him, believ ing It would do him more harm than good ; and they were glad to see him freed In part from what they con sider an Incubus. Democrats voted almost solidly for Mr. Roosevelt. Upton ("Epic") Sinclair's ticket received something over 100,000 votes, and that of John McGroarty, Townsend plan sup porter, about half as many. In South Dakota a slate of unln structed delegates favoring Landon won over a ticket pledged to Senator Borah, though the margin was slender. V: . As-kar- i.

Nearly all other foreigners were gathered In the well fortified British legation, but American Minister Cornelius Van II.

"But the delegation is un pledged at my request. It Is free to vote as It pleases. I have not sought a delegation here or else where and I shall not do so. I have not sought the nomination and shall not do so. My situation Is not changed In the slightest." Friends of Senator Borah In Utah tried unsuccessfully for a Borah pledged delegation from that state. The Republican state convention in Ogden voted to send an unlnstruct ed group to Cleveland, following the recommendation of the resolutions committee. The Arkansas delegation also will be unlnstructed. though the state convention approved an "expression of good will" toward Gov. Alf Lan don of Kansas. Col.

UTAH of state nn.i, an- negotiated other reciprocal trade agreement. It Is Willi France hiiiI was signed at the Slate department by ucts. An announcement by the State department said: "The agreement with France Is the first comprehensive arrangement for regulating commercial relations with that country In many years. It will provide Improved opportunities for the expansion of trade In products of special Interest to each country, and will enable the commercial Interests concerned to develop these opportunities without fear of the sudden and unforeseen changes to which they are exposed In the absence of such an agreement. "In addition to duty concessions and quota Increases by France and duty concessions by the United States on carefully selected lists of products, the agreement provides In general for substantial treatment by each country of the commerce of the other." 'TpHE national resources commit-- - tee, which is headed by Secretary of the Interior Ickes, has submitted for the approval of President Roosevelt a plan for the creation of a ruelflc Northwest Power agency that would outrival the Tennessee Valley authority and would produce almost as much electric energy as the entire nation could utilize. Two of the New Deal's power ventures, the Bonneville and Grand Coulee dams, would be embraced by the PNPA. The ultimate cost of Bonneville will be 75 million and that of Grand Coulee 204 millions. The additional dam and power plant projects proposed by the committee would entail expend ltures of approximately 520 millions, making a total of 805 mildol-lar- s lions. DANIEL senator O. HASTINGS, Delaware, chairman of the Republican senatorial campaign committee and outspoken opponent of the New Deal, will not seek reelection when his present term expires. He so announced in a letter to the party leaders of his state, giving as his reason the necessity to devote himself to his law practice. MS. fitJ This aW may have InSen. Hastings fluenced his deci sion, but it is more than suspected that the real reason was the fact that the du Pont family, ful In Delaware Republican politics, had decided that the senatorial seat should go to Gov. C. Douglas Buck, who is related to the du Ponts by marriage. Senator Hastings has always been ready and eloquent In defense of the du Ponts against at tacks by the New Dealers. P. FLETCHER, HENRY national chairman, has taken a leaf from the plans of the Democrats and announces that the men nominated at the Cleveland con vention to head the Republican ticket will be notified of the fact at a grand outdoor ceremony In the Municipal stadium, near the convention hall, immediately after the ad journment. This plan, of course, is conditional upon the wishes of the nominees. The Democrats had previously announced plans to notify President Roosevelt and Vice Pres ident Garner of their with a ceremony at Franklin field. Philadelphia.

Business, as represented by the Chamber of Commerce of the United Start Class states, again has with the Struggle clashed New Deal, and again the cannonading by business added nothing. Its attacks apparently bothered the New Deal not at all, for the New Deal has proceeded after the manner of the mastiff trotting along without concern while poodle barked and snarled. Business made no overtures for compromise with the New Deal and New Deal spokesmen were not hastening to make peace with business leaders. Altogether, there waa not the slightest indication given that there will ever be peace between the two elements of economic thought The one thing that Impressed me about the recent annual meeting here of the chamber of commerce was the solidarity of 'business In Its opposition to general New Deal principles. That was to be expected but It has not always been the case. In days past, there were many business groups and Individuals who adhered to the New Deal and vainly tried to work out an understanding with the administration. At this annual meeting, however, there was not the slightest effort made on the part of business to accomplish any arrangement whereby business and the administration would work together. This can mean only one thing: President Roosevelt Is going Into his without the campaign for support of business Interests except where. In particular lines, benefit has accrued Incidentally to specific businesses. One would think that such a condition would constitute a threat against the President's Such appears not to be the case, however, because of the particular type of campaign which Mr. Roosevelt and his political commander In chief, Postmnster General Farley, are making. The President's recent political speeches have made It quite clear that be is seeking support wholly from the agricultural and labor segments of our voters. Ills appeals are quite open and frank' and they are drawing considerable criticism because It Is held they constitute the Initiation of class struggle In this country. Whatever the reason for the President's course, it remains as a fact that he Is very busy cultivating voters who have suffered most in the depression. When I reported above that business came off second best in its fresh assault on Makes Good the New Deal, I Fight dla" nt mean to Imply that It had not made a vigorous fight It probably gained some ground in getting before the country Its side of the story, a phase of our national situation which- - has not been as fully advertised to the country as have the activities and accomplishments of the New Deal. The story of the losses suffered by business actually Is not a great deal different from that of the Individual, and many businesses are existing on a basis Just as Is the case with thousands of individuals. Because business. In our mind's eye, at least, Is larger than an individual, political demagogues regard It as fair game and for that reason, I am Inclined to believe, business has not had a fair chance on the part of most of us when considering national problems. On the other hand, business has many units within the whole that have not played fair. There are a great many corporations that are guilty of plain oppression, even to the extent of fraud and corruption of business methods. For the crookedness o this segment all business has been blamed by the New Deal. Th's is not equity. The unhappy part of it all Is that unless all business stands together, good, bad and It can get nowhere at all In defense of Its legitimate rights. There Is, therefore, a wholly natural and yet quite unfair result emanating from this condition. New Deal planners. In their efforts to catch the crooks, have punished legitimate business far too much If one Is to accept even partially the public statements and the private expressions of the business men who attended the annual meeting of the chamber of commerce. This ought not to be and I think that legitimate business has Just ground for complaint on this score. So, as the situation now stands. I believe it can be said In all fairness that neither side In this battle be tween the New Deal and business comes into court with entirely clean hands. Business has Its cancerous ores. The New Deal has Its nitwits and theorists who know noth ing about practical economics. The result of this Is plainly seen, and It becomes more and more appar ent that Mr. Roosevelt cannot ac complish his objective of complete recovery until he directs some of bjs subordinates to put their feet on the ground. Indeed, there are some hand-to-mout- h of the New Deal subordinates who ought to be tossed bodily Into the street. Just as there are some business men who ought to be thrown Into JaiL The chamber of commerce forth the Information that business, as Business a whole, had kept Has Answer hundreds of thousands of workers on Its collective pay rolls during the depression when conditions did not Justify their retention. The claim was advanced that business had expended something like twenty billions In wages paid from stored-ureserves. It was further asserted that business was alone responsible for such gains toward recovery as have been made. New Deal spokesmen, from President Roosevelt on down, have consistently accused business of failure to take on workers and help solve the unemployment problem. At the same time. The banking structure of the country has been accused chiefly by the President of refusal to extend credit to business, and business as a whole has been classified by the President as greedy. It seems safe to say that as regards these charges, business does have an answer, for throughout all history capital has refused to work unless there was a reasonable promise of return. Now, in addition to the lack of that promised return, business Is and was constantly confronted with nncertaintles on the part of the New DeaL The present pending tax legislation Is typical. The most dangerous provision of that legislation is that which will prevent business from building up reserves such as those upon which It has been drawing during the depression.
