Cost Men and Money and Create Nef Hatred Pari?. Aug 15. —(API—Programs for war and peace in East Africa were weighed by Premier Laval of France and Baron Pompeo Aloisi of Italy as they conferred alone for an hour in the former's office today. Their talks seeemd to deepen the pessimism of officials. Premier Mussolini’s right hand man came to the French government head with three agreements: 2 Italy must protect Eritrea and Italian Somaliland aga nst a wild and dangerous nation, Ethiopia, by dis arm! ig St. 2 Italy must expand into colonies as Great Britain and F anoe have done. 3. Italy is starved for raw mat erials and must develop her own sup plies. To these arguments, Laval had the following answers: 1. War would wreck Europe's long drawn-out efforts for peace sjid pos sibly even the League of Nations. 2. War would cost men and money ar.d create hatreds, although Mus. solini could attain hi 3 desires grad ually and peacefully. 3. War would endanger or break j the Anglo-Franco-Italian control of Eprope. Following his meeting with Aloisi, Laval conferred with his ministery (Continued on Page Two.)

Anthony Eden Baron Aloisi^ Washington has been informed that the parley to be held in Paris between Baron Pompeo Aloisi, speaking for Premier Mussolini; Captain Anthony Eden for Great Britain, and Premier Pierre Laval for France, will take the form of “conversations rather than a con ference” The meeting, however, is expected to point the to peace or war between Italy and Ethiopia AAA IS RESISTING 1335 COTTON LOAN Farm Administration Offi cials Admittedly Wor ried About Matter STATEMENT PROMISED Announcement Will Be Made “In Due Time,” Secretary Wallace Says'; Credits To Farm ers Seem Likely Washington. Aug. 15.—(AP) —A 12- cent loan on the 1935 cotton crop ap peared possible today, despite report ed strong opposition from the Farm Administration. Confronted with a statement by Senator Bankhead, Democrat, Ara bama, yesterday that a 12-cent loan would be announced by the end of this week. Secretary Wallace said an announcement would be made “in due time.” Some AAA officials admittedly were worried about Hie cotton loan situa tion, and some were known to op pose definitely any loan announce, ment at this time. When the agriculture department last week predicted a total cotton crop this year of 11,798,000 bales, Sec retary Wallace announced that “ade quate credit facilities” would be made available for orderly marketing or the crop. This statement was interpreted m some quarters to mean that no loan would be announced until late in tne year, and that a free movement of the present crop to market would be permitted. The crop estimate was above most private estimates and the market dropped sharply.

STIES EXPECTED AS DIRECT RELIEF CEASJSIN STATE But When Workers Find They Must Root Hog or Die, Things Will Get Much Better EXPECT OBJECTION TO WAGE SCHEDULE Hesitmicy of Many to Work Seen in Fact That Only 50,000 of 200,000 on Relief Rolls Have Registered for Jobs With WPA; Big Problem Lies Ahead. Dally ' r M»|*nteli r»TW?. Pn the <|r Hotel. BY .* C. EASKEBVILL. RMeigh, Aug. 15—The rumblings of discontent in the ranks of those who have been on relief in North Ca’-slina at the prospect of the dis continuance of all direct relief are r-xpeced to grow even greater than at present and some strikes and dem onstrations will undoubtedly deve lop, according to the private opinion of several Works Progress Adminis tration officials. But when it fin ally becomes clear to the army of re lief workers and former recipients of direct relief that hereafter they must work for what they get or go hun gry, and that henceforth it is a case of “root hog, or MHe,” conditions are ?oing to be infinitely better than they have been. Virtually all of the officials of the State Public Works Administration agree with President Roosevelt and Administrator Harry L. Hopkins that the Federal govern ment made a great mistake when it ever started direct relief in the first place and that hundreds of thous ands of people got on the direct relief rolls who never worked before, who have not worked since and who will not work now if they can evade it in any way. State WPA officials cannot and will not discuss this phase of the WPA program for publication or to he quoted directly. But jn “off the rec ord’’ conversations they frankly ad mit that one of the biggest jobs ahead of the WPA is the revamping of the relief machinery so that relief may be obtained only by those willing to work for it and the abolition of all direct relief who do not want to work for what they have heretofore been getting with little or no work, it is agreed. There is likewise going to be very vigorous objection to the WPA wage scales and the fact that those employed on WiPA projects must work an entire month before getting any pay. But in the long run all of these things are going to have a beneficial effect and bring about a great reduction in the present relief load. No Desire For Jobs There is no doubt that those who have been on relief are showing no great desire to get WPA jobs, since only about 50,000 former relief clients (Continued on Page Three.) Long Tells Gotham Os His Plans New York, Aug. 15 (AP) —Senator Huey Long announced today he would be an independent candidate for president in 1936 —” if the Repub licans go Hoover, the Democrats go Roosevelt and there is no other lib eral candidate.” The Louisiana political boss called Hoover and President Roosevelt “twin-bed mates of disaster.” “If some liberal candidate would be chosen by either party,” the sena tor said, “I would support him, hut it begins to look like the G. O. F. is being dominated by Mr. Hoover or some one of his calling. “The liberal and progressive ele ment is called upon to decide that we don’t want Hoover, that we know what he is, or a Roosevelt that we don’t know what he is.” WEATHER FOR NORTH CAROLINA. Partly) cloudy tonight and Fri day; not much change in temper ature. Laughing Hopson at Lobby Probe Howard C. Hopson W. A. Hill The elusive head of the Associated Gas & Electric Co., Howard C. Hopson enjoys a hearty laugh with his attorney, W. A. Hill, as he appears before Senate lobby investigating committee in Washington. He was found by detectives after two-week search. (Central Press) Johnston Girls’ Story Os Kidnaping Backed Up Senate Will Get Hopson Very Soon Washington, Aug. 15 (AP) — The way for the Senate lobby com mittee examination of Howard C. Hopson, elusive utilities operator, was cleared somewhat today with readiness in the House to drop the dispute over who should have custody of him. Through counsel, Hopson’s an nounced willingness to testify on the Senate side about his Asso ciated Gas and Electric moves against the bill to regulate hold ing companies, once his appear ance before the House committee was concluded. The House Rules Committee re solved that he should be arrest ed at once, but directed that he be available to the Senate when not being questioned on the House side. This evidently ended dif ferences between the two branch es of Congress. HANCOCK’S ATTACK WAS NO SURPRISE Congressman Had Little Voice in Naming WPA Key Men in State Dally Dispatch Bnrena, In the Sir Walter Hotel, BY £. C. nASKERVILL. Raleigh, Aug. 15.-*-The blast turned loose against the State Works pro gress Administration by Representa tive Frank W. Hancock. Jr., of the fifth congressional district, and the charge that all the patronage with regard to its organization in North Carolina is dictated by Senator Josiah W- Bailey, did not cause much sur. prise here. It has been known here for some time that Hancock was not at all please# because he was ap parently left out entirely when the WPA pie was cut. While State WPA Administrator George W. Coan comes from Winston-Salem, which is in Hancock’s district, it is now generally known that Hancock was not con sulted and did not know of the ap pointment of Coan until it had been made public. It is also generally agreed that Coan was appointed on the recommendations of Senator Bailey and Congressman R. L. Dough ton of the ninth district. But that was not all, While most of the: state’s eleven (congressmen were permitted to have a say-so In the selection of the WPA officials in the eight WPA districts in the State, Hancock was again left out of the (Continued on Page Five.)

There may be a reason. The disciples of Henry George do not believe in income taxes. But would the putting of all taxes on land not socialize land? That question has been asked repeatedly.

The Rockefeller report to the commission showed the gifts were made nine days after Pre sident Roosevelt asked Congress to increase taxes on gifts and enact new inheritance levies.

Coan, Jr., States work progress administrator, today defended the work of his organization, and assert ed he had “no apology” to make for what has been done to date in start ing works progress projects in the State. Coan said he was “not certain” whether he would reply to the charge of Congressman Frank W. Hancock, Jr., in Washington to the effect the WPA work in North Carolina w*s lagging, as compared with othef states, and that the Tar Heel set-up was for the “political welfare of Sen ator J. W.
