Warfare in Ethiopia consists
largely in surprising the enemy In
some narrow
gorge or Talley.
Ethiopians Me
tons surprised
Italians on a
small scale. Now
the Italians have
shown that 'the
thing can be
done from the
air by killing

warriors, of
whom 20,000

the attack with machine guns, in
cendiary and explosive bombs.
England really has free speech.
On your soap box In Hyde Park you
may say What yon please, If you do
not advocate crime.
But England does not like free
speech from another country,
through the ether. The British
Broadcasting company will not let
Marconi talk from Rome to English
men over the radio. He might con
vince them that it is preposterous
to try to starve out Italy for doing
In Ethiopia what England has done
in many places. The ruling seems
Hard on Marconi, considering that
be Invented radio. Without him
there would be no "British Broad
casting company."
Those that make betting a busi
ness are often sound In their polit
ical judgments. They are at least
cold, calculating; sentiment does
not cloud their vision.
On the Republican . Presidential
nomination the betting now stands:
Senator William E Borah, 8 to 1.
Governor Landon of Kansas, 10 to
1. Senator Tandenberg of Michigan,
15 to L Col Frank Knox of Illi
nois, 15 to-1. Governor Hoffman of
New Jersey, Ogden L. Mills, Sena
tor David A. Reed, all 20 to 1.
Professional bettors agree that
Governor Landon is. gaining, and
will probably lead the procession at
6 to 1 in a few days. Band wagon
climbers are more and more polite
to uovernor Landon.
The "sanctions' wall thrown by
England and France around Italy,
smaller nations co-operating, to
"suffocate and starve Italy,"
Mussolini pots It, Is now complete.
Two million young organized Ital
ians protest against the effort to
punish-, Italy for doing to Ethiopia
what England and France have
done to other, more nearly civilised
countries.

tude In, the United States Depart-
, ment of Commerce. This ' applies
not only to trade with Italy trade

not to take too much advantage of

sneaking away a part of her inter
national trade! .-..''. -
The whole thing seems - rather
ueuuiuns, mougn also very : high
minded. But apparently It does not
apply : to South America. , Perhaps
because Washington has always re
garded southern -American trade as
belonging to this country-not by
divine right, nor . even by - geog
raphy, but perhaps because, of some
expected gratitude, for the Monroe
Doctrine. - Thbugh as a matter of
fact that doctrine has been resent
ed rather than appreciated by our
jutun-Amencan -;. friends , for many
years now.. In ...fact,; It . began to
cool shortly - after Washington
forced France to withdraw Its sup
port from Maximilian,, not long
after the American Civil war. - ' ;
So the best-minds Interested In
furthering our International trade
oegan several weeks ago to think
about the possibilities in South
America, now that Italy , Is very
busy in Africa, f In (tact,. It , was
decided to have a new head of the
bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce, and that .this new bead
should be one . capable of ' tak

Canadian, Treaty
On the whole the administration
expects to benefit enormously,' at
the next election, by the effects of
the Canadian reciprocal treaty, Its
political ramifications are - legion,
hut now that time has been allowed
for estimating Its economic conse
quences, let's take a look at the po
litical aspects, wnich were, very
muon in mina at the White House,
u not at-the state, department
while- the problems were being
weighed.
The worst liability to the admin
istration Is the dairy section, which
will let-a much larger volume of
Canadian milk, cream, butter and
cheese Into this country, and hence
will 'Irritate the dairy farmers .of
New England, New York, . Wiscon
sin and Minnesota, particularly, and
all other dairy farmers In general.
. Incidentally It , was rather odd
that there was such a rush to sign
the treaty that the ceremonies al
most synchronized .with 'those at
tendant upon the delivery at the
White House of the 1,250 pound
aW
Wisconsin cheese, drawn by "Dun-
aer and Blltzen" and the rest in
Santa piaus sleigh. Which, by the
way, .had been Intended as a high
ugnt or National Cheese week.
The dairy concessions to Canada
are much worse , politically than
the lumber section, although actri-
ally opponents of the lumber sec
tion were more vocaL The reason
is that, every domestic dairyman la
on the same side of the dairy con
troversy. He wants all the protect
tlon he can get from foreign com-,
pennon. wnereas the lumber in

with best opinion being to the ef-
reel tnat : the stronger group, as
far as . votes - are concerted, -: fa
