ing England to remove her. battle
ship from the Mediterraneans
The wise British nave known all
along that there wa to be no war,
but thought It well to Indulge In
virtuous demonstrations. '
Britons rarely make diplomatic
mistakes; diplomats of other coun
tries are children Xo them, although
France Is an exception to that rule.
Washington believes the war will
end In 60 days, and ha probably
been told so by somebody In Europe.
Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., president of
General Motor, announces "all sig
nal set for increased automobile
sale next year," and no doubt
about it
: He approves aa automobile show
. In November, Instead of January,
as giving the people more time to
realize that the Important car Is tie
winter car, whea the automobile
"wears the rubber for the whole
family.
Capturing Aksum will impress
Ethiopians. The holy city, surren
dered by the Ethiopians without a
shot, contains the tombs of an
Ethiopian rulers since the time of
Sheba. The Coptic Christian blah
op of Aksum voluntarily gave the
keys of the city to the Italian Gen.
Emille de Bono, at Aduwa. He ac
cepted the keys, proclaimed Italy's
annexation of Aksum, sent force
to surround the city and prevent
looting the monasteries and the an
cient cathedral of St Mary Zion.
In that cathedral the original Ark
of the Covenant is believed to be
preserved. Ethiopian history re
lates that when Solomon sent the
son of his high priest, with other
sons of great dignitaries, to accom
pany Sheba's son after his visit to
his father, the son of the high priest
took the original Ark of the Cove
nant with him. substituting an Imi
tation ark, much to the indignation
of Solomon and that high priest In
justice to the high priest's son, it
must be stated that an angel ap
peared and gave him instructions
about stealing the ark.
George Bernard Shaw discovers
that Ethiopia, so-called, Is an ag
gregation of tribes, one ruled fairly
well by Halle Selassie, who Is
called "Emperor," the others doing
about as they please.
In some of these tribes, what
pleases the natives would seem
strange to us. For Instance, among
the Danakils a lady will not marry
a gentleman until he proves that he
has killed at least four men. And
he most prole It by bringing back
the easily identified fragments of
four mutilated bodies. Married
life with suclt'a lady should never
be dull.
Wars come, wars go, Standard
Oil goes on forever, working.
Walter Teagle, head of Standard
Oil of Mow-Jersey, with oil wells
scattered over the world, offers to
buy every barrel of oil that Bos
sU export, many million barrels a
year. To avoid 111 feeling, Mr.
Teagle would let British Royal
Dutch-Shell and Anglo-Ira nlaa have
part of Bustla's surplus.

Carter Field
Waghlngton. With the President'
and congress both 'away, Washing
ton. Is a hotbed' of rumors," most
of which have absolutely no basis
whatever, but all of which are in
teresting. " i-f -(
For . instance, there Is the one
about Henry Morgenthau, Jr.. The
secretary of the treasury Is enjoy
ing' a holiday In Spaln,--whereupon
there Is seriously circulated the
story that he Is to be- eased out
of the .treasury, and IS to become
ambassador'to Madrid. ; Several, de
tails are. added,' for example, .that
the administration: I most anxious
to have Claude GT Bowers, now am
bassador to Spain, -back In this
country for the next campaign. He
Is a spellbinder' of parts, and has
been keynoter on many big Demo
cratic occasions.
. ' Now ltjs beyond denial that cer
tain very Important; figures In the
New 'Deal are -convinced it would
be an excellent thing If Morgen
than were sent to Spain or to the
FIJI Islands anywhere out of touch
with Washington. Tfhey regard him,
to put It mildly, as a flop as secre
tary of the treasury.- ; ''- f
But to anyone who has watched
Roosevelt It Is simply unthinkable
that - Morgenthau ' would be thus
humiliated. . He went to extreme
lengths . to -avoid humiliating- Wil
liam H. . Woodln, who was a far
worse ; secretary 'from ' the ; White
House standpoint than Morgen
thau. Woodln disagreed distressing
ly with -moat of the New. Deal pol:
cles. ' His personal loyalty to Roose."
velt prevented his resigning, for
a long time, despite the excellent
excuse "of bis health, but he actu
ally had nothing to do with formu
lating the more important- phases
of 'treasury" poltcyv;-;i:.,v,ij-;;-.
4 Whereas Morgenthau has been the
Ideal "Tea. Man." to the President
His first thought at all times is to
do Just precisely what' the Pros-'
Went want, and to tell the Presi
dent that any Booseveltlan Idea Is
simply swell : He has never sought
self-glorification In the public prints;
and has not Joined In any conspira
cies to unseat' Presidential favor
Itles from' their places , near the
throne. . ,
Morrentbau Will Stay ' '
: So this observer believes that Mr.
Morgenthau wilt serve sa secretary
of the treasury as long as - be
wants, and,, when the time comes to
go, . will get a .wonderful - send-off.
and with no such lame - excuse ' as
"promoting" blm . to be ambassa
dor to Spain.
Then there Is the -story abopt
Herbert Hoover's motive in attract
ing so much limelight : This Is that
Hoover .really has no Idea of being
a candidate, but Intends, to hold
the limelight; and make .no state
ment which would take Mm out of
the apparent race before,- say, next
February. The- explanation given
for this Is , that Hoover wants- to
shield any other possible . Repub
lican nominee from being put on the
spot - as . to the soldier - bonus. By
February.' Washington believes, the
bonus will -have. pased into his
tory,' with Its passage, over Roose
velt's veto, and.heoce will no long
er, be an issued -s.,f;;;,;s-'
- This writer stllli believes, and on
excellent authority .from close lieu
tenants : of the -former President,
that be craves a vindication.- that
he would like to have the nomina
tion forced on him, buf.that with
very ' little urging be would step
out actively and go after It. i ' . . T

No Real Conflagration
Belief that tuiy wlU eventually
hare to yield to conomlc pressure
Is very Strong1 In. diplomatic-circles
here. The opinion - of the diplo
mats, -perhaps the best Informed
persons- as to actual . conditions, Is
that there Will not be any real con
flagration. They do not believe, for
example, that Britain will ever actu
ally blockade Italy, which dire pos
sibility would ' lead to tremefidou
consequences - , " - t.
They : point ' out hewever, that
contrary to popular opinion, . Ger
many Is not sympathetic, with Italy. -but
anxious to go along with Great
Britain. They do not believe there
fore, that Germany will supply Italy
with the needed . mnnltlOD using
munitions in the broad sense of
things necessary ' in time' of war.
and not .confining It as the United
States neutrality act doe, 'to '"arm,
ammunition . - and Implement ' of

would not hesitate to go again, t the
policy of their country If they could
torn a good deal for themselves.,
but that they would hesitate a long
time before selling anything to Italy
on credit 1 ' : -V;
1 Italy's credit, at , the -moment, is

that despite the refusal of Austria
and Hungary to commit themselves 1
In 1 advance,9 to' league' sanctions
against Italy, this distrust of Italy's'
ability to pay will dry up these
sources of supply.
Italy Short of Gold : - .
'" The gold reserve of the Bank of
Italy has shrunk tremendously In
the, last 18 months. ' She Is now
down to something like $300,000,000
gold in terms pf American dollar.
Roughly this Is $100,000,000 less. If
calcula tions are made In term of
the American dollar before devalua
tion. . . . - . , , ....
Importance 'of this last is not
generally realized In this country,
save by persons who haee traveled
in Europe since devaluation., But
actually-the purchasing power of the
lira bas not changed' In the niean
time, either In Italy or. on the con,
tlnent of Europe, M ' .'
' - Italy always buys a 'great deal
of food from across the Adriatic,
cattle especially The Yugoslavians
do not tike Italy at all; Neither do
the Greeks. They are afraid of Mus-1
soilnl'a imperlallstie dreams,: Wash
ington believes that Italy has been
compelled to pay cash for merchant
dlse, with eredlts closely held, and
that this Is the really Important ex
planation of the drop of three bil
lion lire In the gold holdings of the
Bank of Italy. ' . - 4. '
V To the contention that Germany
was able to go on fighting for years
while" under virtual blockade, dip
lomats answer thai the cases are
very different Within the central
powers - was a stretch of territory
from the Baltic to' the Black seas,
and extending beyond the Black Into
Asia. This territory . has tremen
dous diversification , of products, in
cluding those essential for war
metals,, oil and food. Moreover,
Germany was able to buy from Nor
way, '; Sweden, Denmark,: Holland,
and , Switzerland. .. Italy ' must buy '
virtually all her metals and oil, aod
a great deal of. food.
: After': effects' of the World war
demonstrated rather forcibly , what
could happen to credits.-: Convic
tion that Italy will take a ghastly
economic beating In the present war.
no matter what military wars she
may achieve, lends point to this.
And her gold supply does not prom
ise long continuance of CMh pay
ments. ,-.
