Holders Os State Bonds May Unload Dully Uinpntrh Huronil. in The Sir Walter Hotel, liy J. C. HASH KllVlL.fj Raleigh, April 15. —Some of the lar g*’r holders of North Carolina bonds are planning to sell them in the near future, especailly if the likelihood grows that Dr. Ralph W. McDonald will be the Democratic nominee for governor, it was learned here today from a reliable source. There are two reasons for this, as follows: 1. North Carolina bonds are now Helling at the highest prices in many years, due to the fact that the State now has a balanced budget, has no unfunded debt and has been operating on a cash basis for the past three years or more. 2. If McDonald should ibe nominated for governor, the State bonds are ex pected to decline sharply, in which case the present owners could re-pur chase them at much lower prices and thus take a large profit. “There is no doubt that the prices of North Carolina bonds will drop materially if McDonald should be nominated, since there is a decided lack of confidence in financial circles in McDonald’s proposed taxation pro gram,” one holder of a good sized block of State bonds said here today. “This means that if McDonald con tinues to gain as some now think he is, that a great many people will start selling their bonds even before the primary in order to get the benefit of present prices. They also know that if McDonald should be nominated the prices will go still lower, so that they could fouy these bonds back if they (Continued on Page Five.) lUcttfrcrsnn TElatUt Dtsuatrlt leased wire service of THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.

In The Sir Walter Hotel. By J. C. BASKERVILL Raleigh, April 15. —One of the State’s most populous sections — the thirteenth judicial district—would pro bably go in a big way for Dr. Ralph W. McDonald for the Democratic nomination for governor at the pre sent time, according to Superior Court Judge F. Don Phillips, of Rocking ham, presiding judge of that district who was through here Monday. Judge Phillips agrees that this sentiment may change between now and June 6, the date of the primary, but is con vinced that the Winston-Salem college professor seems to have the’ edge on the other three candidates at the pre sent time. The thirteenth judicial district is composed of Richmond, Stanly, Union, Moore, Anson and Scotland counties, and is one of the most thickly popu lated in the State. Virtually the only reason the people in this district seem to be for McDonald is because of his opposition to the sales tax, Jude Phil lips said. “At present, I have no doubt but that Dr. McDonald is considerably in the lead of the other candidates for the gubernatorial nomination in the thirteenth district,” Judge Phillips said. “The reason ‘ for this is that a (Continued on Page Six.)

They tentatively were included in the bill. Copeland predicted final committee action tomorrow. This would put it before the Senate for an expected bat tle with many senators whose proj ects were not included. 8 PAGES TODAY FIVE CENTS COPY ITALY TO SUPPORT FRANCE ONLY WITH SANCTIONS LIFTED II Duce Refuses to “Be Frus trated” Now That He Is Within Sight Os Addis Ababa NEGOTIATIONS ARE BEGUN AT LONDON General Staffs of Britain, France and Belgium Plan Emergency if Germany Takes Aggressive; Mean while, Rome Hears About Fresh Victory at Front Paris, April 15.—(AP) —Diplomatic sources said today that Pierre Etien ne-Flandin, France’s foreign minister, had been warned by Italy that remier Mussolini “refuses to be frustrated,” now that his forces are nearing Addis Abaiba, the capital of Ethiopia. They asserted this statement was made to Flandin directly by Ambas sador Cerruti of Italy. At the same time, the Italian am bassador was reported as saying that Italy was willing to fulfill her ob ligations to aid France against Ger many under the Lacorno treaty only if the League of Nations sanctions against Italy were lifted. At a meeting of government leaders French officials decided to give Great Britain and Italy time to settle their differences over the Ethiopian war before taking a stand on further sanc tions. CONFERENCE IN LONDON PLANS MUTUAL DEFENSE (By The Associated Press.) The conference of the British, French and Belgian army general staffs was begun today in London si multaneously with the start of nego tiations for settlement of the Italo- Ethiopian war to decide on measures to insure against any unprovoked ag gression. Although the conversations between the general staff were to be conduct ed in secret, the British government has constantly assured the public no new political affiliations would arise from their decisions. The peace talk of the League of Na tions at Geneva presented a greater uncertainty as to the future course of European peace than did the prolblem of settlement of the Locarno crisis.
