News Keview of Current Events the World Over Crisis Nears in Italo-Ethiopian Enibroglio?Mussolini Defiant, Great Britain Ready?Committee of Lawyers Hits Labor Relations Act. By EDWARD W. PICKARD ? Western Newspaper Union. M ATTERS In Geneva were rapidly approaching a crisis?a crisis for Italy and Ethiopia, for European peace and for the League of Nations Itself. The Italian caDinet, in which Mussolini holds eight portfolios, an nounced In Rome that Italy would accept no compromise and would not retreat from the course It has laid out in East Africa; that Its military prepara tions were being In tensified, and that Its forces were adequate "to respond to any Mussolini menace whatever." Still more Important, In the light ot developments, was the cabinet's an nouncement of strengthening Its mili tary forces In Libya, where General Balbo has been establishing a strong line of air repots. This colony bor ders Egypt on the west, and there was Immediately a lot of speculation as to whether Mussolini planned to attack the British empire In that region. Italian forces In Libya have received reinforcements of 40,000 men with tanks and field artillery, and are much stronger than the British forces In Egypt If economic sanctions were Im posed on Italy, Mussolini might well reply by threatening Great Britain in that quarter, by Invasion and by arous ing the native population to revolt 1 Premier Laval's speech before the League of Nations was exceedingly clever but did not clear the situation sufficiently. While he gave assurance that France would abide by the league covenant and fulfill its obligations, he hinted that his government would de mand In return that Britain enter a definite engagement to carry out the program agreed upon In London on February 3?an air Locarno with auto matic enforcement and the conclusion of Danublan and Baltic security pacts. One after another the nations rep resented In the league announced their support of the British stand against Italy. If the British do not back down?and that seems unlikely?and If Italy persists in its adventure, the league will be called on to apply ar ticle 15 of the covenant This requires the submission of any dispute, likely to lead to a rupture, to the council which must then try to effect a set tlement. The council also will adopt as its own the report of the committee of five, which has failed to find a solution acceptable to Italy. The par ties to the dispute are obligated to keep the peace for three months in any event, which would prevent an Italian campaign before the rains set In again In Ethiopia. If in the next three months either side accepts the council's decision, the other party Is automatically outlawed If It starts a war at any time In the future. In that case, the penalties against an aggressor as provided In article 16 must take effect automat ically. "Take a look at this," virtually said Great Britain to Italy as she massed a great fleet of powerful warships In the Mediterranean. Many of them were at Gibraltar, others at Malta and Alex andria and yet others at the entrance to the Suez canaL Practically the en tire north Atlantic fleet was concen trated in the Inland sea, and there was a chain of fighting vessels all the way from there to China?and every one of them was ready to defend the suprem acy of the empire. The royal air force, too, was fully represented at the naval bases, and the shore garrisons were reinforced. This was John Bull's reply to Mussolini's defiance, and It might well give him pause. " Unconstitutional" is thever diet of the American Liberty league's committee of 58 lawyers on the Wagner-Connery labor relations < act. ? "It Is our belief," said the opinion, written In the form of a brief, "that I the statute unnecessarily and arbi trarily infringes upon the individual liberties of the employer and the em* P,n.vee and Is therefore invalid." This Is the first of a proposed series opinions on recent federal legisla tion by the committee of lawyers. It was formulated by a subcommittee | insisting of Earl F. Reed of Pitts burgh, chairman; Harold Beacom, Chi fa?o; Harold J. Gallagher, New York; L J. Keneflck. Buffalo; Harrison B. ^1'Graw, Cleveland; Gurney E. New ',n- Los Angeles; Hal II. Smith. De troit. and E. Randolph Williams, Rich mond. Va. ! Copies of the opinion were sent to t all members of the full committee and dissenting opinions were Invited, but none were offered. Raoul E. Desvernine of New York, chairman of the general committee, denied that it was "packed with Re publicans," but he did not explain why no labor lawyers and no attorneys with New Deal leanings were appointed to serve. Frank E. Morrison, American Fed eration of Labor secretary, said: "This committee simply represents the views held by special privilege and big business, which have always opposed every pioce of legislation Introduced In congress and the states to bring a little more happiness Into workers' homes." AE. MERCKER, who used to be ? secretary of the Interstate Early Potato committee, has teen made head of the potato ^section of the Agricul tural adjustment ad ministration, and his troubles are just be ginning. Control of the potato crop ts con sidered a natuml se quence in the policy that is being followed by the AAA, and, like other parts of Secre tary Wallace's agri cultural plan. It Is . r- , supporte earnestly . . ere er #n(j ag serj0Hg]y con. demned. Among those who oppose po tato control Is Porter E. Chandler of Geneseo, N. Y., a gentleman farmer. He has advertised extensively his in tention to grow and sell potatoes in defiance of the federal potato control act and invites prosecution. Now, co-operating with Mr. Chand ler, comes Norman C. Norman, a New York jeweler who some time ago de fled the jewelers' code. He sent to the gentleman farmer an order for six or more bushels of "strictly illegal potatoes," and the order was filled at once. Norman suggested that the po tatoes be routed through New Jersey to make the offense interstate, and of fered to make more than one pur chase, "as it is my understanding that the second purchase will entitle me to go to the penitentiary." WHILE all the nation was cele brating Constitution day, the citi zens of Pennsylvania went to the polls and voted overwhelmingly against the calling of a Constitutional convention for the purpose of "modernizing" the state's basic law which was adopted 61 years ago. Since the proposed changes were to have a decided New Deal trend, the Republicans looked on the result of the referendum as a vic tory of national significance. The re vision was strongly supported by Gov ernor Earle and the state Democratic organization and also by organized labor. New Mexico voters turned down a proposal to boost their property ex emption to $2,500, along with four other suggested amendments to the state constitution. WHEN the new Philippines com monwealth is formally born on November 15 in Manila, with Vice President John M. Garner officiating as Its godfather. Manuel Quezon, for 20 years the leader of the fight for Independ ence, will be Inaugu rated as Its first president. In the re cent election he and his entire ticket were victorious. The de feated rivals for the nresldencv were Eml iio Agulnaldo, who led _ the rebellion against Manuel Queion American rule years ago. and Bishop Gregorio Agllpay. They were virtually snowed under. Sergio Osmena was elected rice pres ident, and victory of Manuel Roxas. Guintln Paredes and Camllo Oslas as sured the new president ample lend ?rshlp In the unicameral national as sembly, where he also will have a clear roting majority. Quezon's term of office Is six years snd his annual salary will be $15,000. The commonwealth will be a ten-year jrelude to complete Independence from he United States. Quezon, who Is large y of Spanish blood, Is fifty-seven years )ld. He has numerous friends and ae juaintances In the United States and 'or a long time has teen a frequent risitor in Washington In his endeavor o gain Independence for the island irchipelago. MARRINER S. ECCLES, bead of the I federal reserve system, has been re appointed by the President, and so will be chairman of the board that wRl put Into operation the new banking reform law. Later the President will j name six other members of the beard. Mr. Eccles Is the exponent of the the ories that monetary control must be j from a "naLonal viewpoint," that the | government should spend heavily In i bad times to create employment and ^ expand credit, and that It should tax , in good years to reduce debt and pre- | vent excessive accumulation of Income, j SIX hundred members of the German reichstag, all fervent Nazis, met In J special session In Nuremberg and at the demand of Relcbsfuebrer Hitler passeu two taws Bear ing down hard on the Jews in the relch. The first of these new stat utes prescribes prison sentences as penalties for marriages between Jews and citizens of German or kindred blood, and declares such marriages void If performed in a foreign country. Extra-marital .... ..... relations between Jews Hiter and Aryans also are punishable by prison sentences. Jews are forbidden to employ women under forty-five years in their households after January 1, on penalty of imprisonment Jews are not allowed to hoist the national flag, being limited to the Zionist blue and white emblem. The second law provides that only a person who "belongs to the protective association of the German empire and is especially obligated to the reich" may be a citizen of Germany. This citizen must be of German or kindred i blood and show that he is willing to serve the German people. Hitler also put through a third law establishing the Nazi Swastika as the national and trade flag of Germany. ! The war ministry was instructed to adopt a war flag of black, white and red. THE Committee of Jewish Delega tions has appealed to the League of Nations on behalf of the Jews of Ger many, declaring that "the conscience of mankind will not tolerate that Jews should be degraded in this century as pariahs." Chancellor hitler's remarks about Meniel aroused President Antonas Smetona to putting out the first interview he has granted in six years. In It he de clared that Lithuania, relying to the utmost on the legality and Justice ot her stand and action In Memel affairs. Is ready at any time to defend her po sition before the per manent court of Inter I national justice. But should an ef fort be made to dlsre President gar(j |egajjty and Jus Smetona tiee. In fayor of force, Lithuania is prepared, stated President Smetona, to "defend Memel with all the means at her command." Continuing, President Smetona said: "Memel Is to us an economic neces sity, not a political issue. We are too small a nation to engage In political bargaining, as we are too small a coun try to engage in contra-propaganda. Our only point is that Memel, contain ing Lithuania's only seaport, is an es sential part of Lithuania. And the freedom and preservation of Lithuania is to her people a precious thing." DEATH came to Jules Cambon, one of France's "elder statesmen," at Vervey, Switzerland. He was ninety years old and had lived in retirement since the close of the World war, though he was frequently consulted by high officials of France. His brilliant career as a diplomatist covered nearly 50 years. He served as ambassador in Washington five years. COMPTROLLER GENERAL MC CARL In a formal opinion held that there is no legal authorization for the federal government to pay out atiy funds for the construction of a furni ture factory at ReedsvlUe, W. Va. This has been a project especially favored by Mrs. Roosevelt. It was Intended originally that the factory should make furniture for government offices and give employment to transplanted coal miners. A year ago McCarl refused to sanction an allocation to the factory from recovery funds. Then congress turned on the project on the ground that It discriminated against private Industry. McCarl says the Department of the Interior went ahead with letting contracts for the construction, never theless. and the building Is about 80 per cent completed. Resolutions adopted by the iowa Farmers' union in convention at Des Moines demand that President Roosevelt dismiss Secretary of Agri culture Wallace from the cabinet and halt "the program of hunger." The AAA was railed "infamous, worthless and vicious." Taxless Heaven Is Sought by Millionaires NEWS dispatches saying that two of Canada's richest citizens were con templating moving to the Channel Islands have directed public attention to that group of British Isles. On one of them, Sark, no taxes are levied, and the only duty- exacted of man Is that be work on the roads two days a year. There are ne automobiles or divorces and unem ployment is unheard of.

BURGESS WIT AGAINST WIT IT WAS a dreadful game the hunter with the terrible gun and Llghtfoot the Deer were playing in the Green Forest It was a matching of wit against wit the hunter seeking to take Llghtfoot's life and Llghtfoot seeking to save it The experience of other years had taught Llghtfoot much of the ways of hunters and not one of the things he had learned about them was forgotten. But the hunter in his turn knew much of the ways of deer. So it was that each was trying his best to outguess the other. When the hunter found the hiding place Llghtfoot had left at the warning of Sammy Jay. he followed Llghtfoot's tracks for a short distance. It was slow work and only one whose eyes had been trained to notice little things could hare done It Tou see, there was no snow and it was only now and then when he had stepped on a bit of soft ground that Llghtfoot had left a foot print But there were other signs which the hunter knew how to read, a freshly upturned leaf here and there, a bit of moss lightly crushed. These things told the hunter which way Llghtfoot had gone. Slowly, patiently, watchfully, the hunter followed. After a while he stopped with a satisfied grin. "I thought as much." he muttered. "He heard that pesky Jay and circled around so as to get my scent. I'll Just cut across to my old trail and unless I am greatly mistaken I'll find hi? tracks there." So. swiftly but silently, the hunter cut across to his old trail and In a few moments he fcund Just what he expected, one of Lightfoot's footprints. Once more he grinned. "Well, old fel low, I've outguessed you this time," said he to himself. "I am behind you and the wind Is from you to me so that you cannot get my scent. I wouldn't be a bit surprised If you're back right where you started from, behind that old windfall." He at once began to move forward silently and cautiously with eyes and ears alert (QUESTION BOX By ED WYNN ...

Now when Lightfoot, following be hind the hunter, had lost the scent of the latter, he guessed right away that the latter had found his tracks and had started to follow them. Lightfoot stood still and listened with all his might for some little seund to tell him where the hunter was. But there was no sound asd after a little Lightfoot began to more on. He didn't dare re main still lest the hunter should creep up within shooting distance. There was only one direction in which it was safe for Lightfoot to move, and that was the direction from which the Merry Little Breezes were blowing. As long as they brought him none of the dreaded man smell he knew that he was safe. The hunter might be behind him. Probably he was. But ahead of him, s<. long as the Mer ry Little Breezes were blowing in his face and brought no dreaded man- j smell, was safety. C T. W. Burxess.?WVU Service.
