EUROPE’S PEACE SEEMS INSURED AFTER PARLEY - ♦ Britain, France and Italy Reach Agreement, Is Understanding. (Continued From Pace One) to initiate no action against Italy not authorized by the League of Nations. 5. France will give Britain the use of its Mediterranean ports, notably the Toulon and Bizerta naval bas"s. in event that it is made the Instrument of the League in enforcing penalties against Italy. 6. Great Britain and France —and the League of Nations—will continue with the work of applying against Italy, for the duration of the Italian-Ethiopian war, any penalties voted. Pea- e Drive I.ikrly 7. The reaction from fear of an early clash of European nations was the result of weeks of growing tension and in itself may start Britain, France and I‘aly on a real effort to create a peace instead of war atmosphere 8 Menntune. Italy will continue unabated its campaign in Ethiopia and probably will initiate anew offensive in the north, to take its Adigral-Adtiwa-Aksum army aT least 50 miles south of Makale in Tigre Province. Some well-informed sources here insi; ‘ that Premier Benito Mussolini has revealed his minimum peace terms Confirmation was lacking entirely. There have been rumors from almost all European capitals since Premier Pierre Laval of France talked to Monsignor Luigi Maglione, Papal Nuncio at Paris, that Pope Pius XI was working quietly for peace. Papal Action Reported The following dispatch was sent from Madrid last night: "Foreign Minister Alejandro Lcrroux insists that, the international tension is diminishing as the result of negotiations which, according to the Spanish delegation at Geneva, have been undertaken by the Vatican with Italy in an effort, to end the Italian-Ethiopian conflict.” Great Britain’s virtual ultimatum to France, insisting on a clear definition of its own position in event of an Ilalian-British clash, seems to have obscured the beginning of negotiations which really were aimed at stopping what seemed an imminent threat of actual war in the Mediterranean. It. was learned that the foreign ofTire received a nine-page affirmative reply from France. Well-in-formed sources expressed considerable satisfaction with it It, was learned that the foreign office sent, urgent instructions Thursday night to Sir Eric Drummond, ambassador at, Rome, to seek an appointment with Mussolini at the earliest posible moment. Simultaneously Sir George Clerk, ambassador at Paris, was instructed to see Premier Laval. Britain Sets Out Stand Drummond told Mussolini, (l) That Great. Britain seriously resented the Italian newspaper campaign against Britain —more serious because all Italian newspapers are under direct control by the government; <2) Britain resented the fact that Italy had five times as many troops in Libya alone as Britain had throughout Egypt and the Sudan; (3) That it was because of these facts, and not because of possible penalties by the League of Nations, that the British fleet was in the Mediterranean. Incidentally, when the fleet was concentrated in'the Mediterranean, Britain announced lhat it was there because of Italian threats. Drummond told Mussolini that Britain would withdraw a certain portion of its cruiser strength from Gibraltar if Italy reduced its army in Libya to the equivalent of the British strength in Egypt and if its newspapers immediately altered their tone and ceased attacking Britain. Push Laval Into Action Ambassador Clerk, at Paris, asked Laval to instruct Count Charles de Chambrun, his ambassador at Rome, to see Mussolini at once and tell him (1) That Laval was acquainted with the British viewpoint; t 2 that Laval believed British assurances to be genuine; 3* that he was convinced that Britain reinforced its fleet solely because of the Libyan reinforcements and the threats made in Italian newspapers. It was said here that the British offer to withdraw some cruisers from the fleet was motivated by a desire ip to discredit suggestions that Britain’s policy at Geneva was guided by individual anti-Italian feeling; (2) by easing Italian-Brit-ish tension to emphasize that the Italian-Ethiopiaa war was purely a League of Nations affair; i3) to facilitate complete French-British cooperation from now on in imposing League penalties on Italy, Boycott Is Adopted BY WALLACE l ARROLL (Copyright. 1:>35, by United Presst GENEVA, Oct. 19.—The "general staff” of the League of Nations penalties committee today adopted a proposal for a complete boycott of Italian goods, effective Oct. 31. full penalties committee of 52 members for final adoption. The general staff, composed of 18 key stations agreed to keep in permanent session to watch the application of penalties. Swiss Make Reservation Switzerland, which already has called attention to its traditional neutrality in all international disputes, made a reservation as to its participation in the boycott proposal. The general staff decision to impose the boycott was unanimous. It was decided that all League members should reply by Oct. 28 to the proposal and that the big League Penalties Committee, at a meeting Oct. 31. should declare it formally in effect. The general staff agreed to meet this afternoon to vote on depriving Italy of a selected list of key products, and is to discuss arrangements for compensating League i members for damages through loss 1 of Italian trade. i

Swarthy French Premier Is Lauded for Moves to Insure Peace. (Continued From Page One) stances will Italy launch an aggressive war against Great Britain. From Britain, Laval is understood to have obtained similar assurances. Come what ma?, it is said, Britain has pledged herself not to resort to force against Italy without first obtaining a League mandate to do so and, secondly, consulting France. Until further notice, therefore, the question of war in the Mediterranean will remain in abeyance, apparently largely in the hands of France. And France at this moment is bent upon peace more than upon anything else on earth. With these assurances and provisos, prance is said to have yielded at last to British pressure and given the pledge required. Namely, that if Italy assumes the initiative and attacks the British in the Mediterranean, British warships may use French bases in those waters. France Convinces II Duce France is believed to have convinced Mussolini that he must accept a satisfactory compromise in Elhiopia or fight Britain. That war France wishes to avoid at any cost. But if it comes through sheer unreasonableness on II Duce’s part and France is put to it, she will have no option but to side with Britain. Mussolini is reported to understand just how utterly events have put France on the spot, and not to feel too hostile. Thus the swarthy little French Premier appears to have won a half victory in his desperate battle to stave off war in Europe. He has won a breathing spell. Events in Britain may play into his hands if he can keep the guns from going off in the Mediterranean for 60 days. Britain s Premier Baldwin is said io have set Nov. 14 as election day. That is less than four weeks away, Legally he can call a national election whenever he pleases. And now seems an excellent time. Expect Easy Victory Recently the peace groups of Britain polled the nation on League sanctions. Nearly 12 million registered voters took part. Os these, some 10 to 1 favored economic sanctions, and 3 to 1 favored resorting to force to uphold the League. The present Tory government, therefore, now expects to win not only the usual conservative support but the vast majority of the peace groups as well. These usually go to Liberal. Labor and Independent candidates. Baldwin believes his government’s stanch stand at Geneva entitles it to such support, and it is believed he will win in a walk. The elections won. the Conservatives may turn out to be a little less warlike at Geneva. If II Duce will then talk reasonably, London will likely listen. For, amazing as it may seem, the Tories are the ones who are now sending anxious delegations to Downing Street begging the government to keep out of war, while the pacifists are egging it on. EXCHANGE CLUB MEETS Candidate for President Introduced at Luncheon.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

A, F, OF L. TO TREAD NARROW WAY THIS YEAR Conservatism Is Shown by Its Refusal to Pass Many Resolutions. BY HERBERT LITTLE Times Special Writer ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.. Oct. 19. The conservative and narrow road to be followed next year by the American Federation of Labor, still under craft-union domination, may best be visualized by looking down the many paths which its fifty-fifth annual convention refused to tread. There is to be no great campaign to organize the mass-production industries. The restrictions imposed on “Federal” unions, and the 35-cents-a-moi th A. F. of L. tax per member, wili not be lightened. No attempt is to be made to organize the youth movement separately. No drive is to be made to organize farm workers, cannery workers or WPA workers. Will Not Form Labor Party No move is to be made toward forming a labor party. No move is to be made to obtain the release of Angelo Herndon, Negro Communist organizer serving 18 years for violation of Georgia's sedition law. The convention adopted it usual resolution upholding efforts to free Tom Mooney. Resolutions ordering campaigns for health insurance in state legislatures and Congress, and for sav-ings-bank insurance were pocketed. The New Deal social security program was approved. Liberals Win Two Points Progressive elements won resolutions pledging efforts for Congressional investigations of conditions among southern tenant farmers. Activities of labor spies, and alleged chiseling by employers on the Ft. Peck Dam in Montana. Liberals also blocked the old-line leaders’ proposed amendment to the Federation constitution authorizing a purge of communists.
