PEACE LINKED TO POLLING IN GREAT BRITAIN Actual Moves Apt to Come After Elections in MidNovember. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Srripps-Hoard Foreijn Lditor WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.—Peace in Africa is seen here as Irrevocably bound up with the coming elections in Great Britain, the first having to wait upon the second. The election: are expected in mid-November. The reasons: 1 Mussolini, though willing to talk peace, will not order his legions home without something tangible to show for his expenditures in men and money. Among other things, he must have territory. 2. It is equally obvious that Haile Selassie is not going to back down, before he has fought a single real battle, and yield part of uis country to the invader. He must be much harder pressed than he is now before he sues for peace. 3. The government at London, having opposed Mussolini tooth and nail at Geneva, mobilized its fleet in the Mediterranean and won plaudits for its bold stand, can not reverse its policy now. And Here’s Why— Were II Duce tamely to surrender at this juncture, his political life would be forfeit, Fascism would be doomed, and Italy might sink into anarchy. Were Haile Selassie to turn tail before the real fighting starts, he would lose his crown as well as his country. Were the conservative government in Britain to counsel the partition of Ethiopia at this time, or abandon the League of Nations crusade, it would be defeated at the polls next month. Already the opposition laborites have sounded a significant warning. ”Ther,' must be no carving up of Ethiopia m order to settle the dispute’’ exclaimed Maj. Clement R. Attlee, new Laborite leader in Commons. “We have the greatest distrust of the (Tory) movement in this matter.” Rearmament Big Plank The lory platform will largely be based on rearmament and world peace through co-operation with the League. Aliy show of the white feather would spell political catastrophe. As things stand, they have stolen much of labor's thunder on the hustings. Not that labor demands rearmament. It doesn’t. But it does demand that Britain support the "League—even military sanctions. And military sanctions are impossible without armies and navies. Observers here believe peace may come pret-.y much as follows: 1. The League will leisurely proceed with economic sanctions, Italy and England having agreed that war between them is out of the question until further notice. 2. Mussolini's legions will press their invasion of Ethiopia, occupying and carefully consolidating new positions. 3. At the same time Britain’s political campaign will go forward to a Tory victory at the polls. Haile May Abdicate 4. With France as intermediary, the peace drive will be intensified, Mussolini eventually accepting Tigre province in (he north. Ogaden arid perhaps other areas in the south, railway and other concessions elsewhere in Ethiopia. Pressure on Haile Selassie, from inside and out, may cause him to give in. or abdicate. Anri if Britain, Ethiopia, Italy and France are satisfied, Geneva will be. ’lt is not exactly what we had hoped," (he new British government can reply *o critics at home—and there would be many critics according to Maj. Attlee —"but would you rather we turned this into another World War?” And who could say yes to that? CLASS TO GIVE PLAYS Jordan Conservatory Students Form Casts of One-Att Pieces.

Proposals of an increase in the price of bread by 1 cent to approximately 9 cents recently drew a pro- ! test from Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace, under whose AAA the price of wheat has increased from 32.3 cents per bushel in February. 1933, to 86.2 cents on Sept. 15, 1935. The importance of local conditions, labor costs and varying breadmixing formulas, however, was emphasized by experts in connection with setting the ultimate price paid by the consumer for his loaf of bread. In addition, the final cost must take into consideration the cost of delivery, effect of AAA processing taxes and the recent drought in the farm belt. Depend on Local Conditions Donald E. Montgomery, AAA consumers counsel, asked Henry Stude, American Bakers’ Association president, to answ'er 15 questions about the price of bread demanding that Mr. Stude justify a threatened onecent increase. Mr. Stude retorted yesterday that "Your questions are like the proverbial question: ’Have you stopped beating your wife?’ ” Both agreed that bread prices depended on local conditions. Mr. Montgomery said there were no standard bread mixing formulas and that hence representative costs could not be estimated. The Bureau of Agricultural Economics, however, said officially that the following could be considered a typical baking formula, used by many big bakeries: Pounds Flour, standard spring patent 100 j Water 00 I Yeast 2.50 I Sugar *. 3.50 | Malt 1 | Shortening, lard substitutes 3 j Salt 1.75 Milk, dried skim 5 3.74 Cents a Loaf It developed further that statisticians had broken down this formula into terms of a one-pound loaf, with costs for each ingredient. A comparative table follows, with the bureau's 1933 figures compared with those issued today: Ingredients of one-pound loaf: Feb. Oct. 1933 1935 Cents Cents Flour 1.19 2.80 Yeast 25 .25 Sugar 08 .08 ! Malt 05 .07 j Lard substitute 11 .33 : Salt 01 .01 Dried Milk 15 .20 i I Total cost bakers’ materials... 1.84 3.71 Average retail price of loaf 6.4 8.4 Similar definite figures on labor and delivery costs of the bakers were unavailable. The millers and the producers of fats ascribed the higher costs of their products to the AAA processing taxes and to last summer's drought. Sodality Sponsors Dance Our Lady of Lourdes Sodality is to sponsor a dance at Municipal . Gardens Friday night.

Other slogans seriously considered by the judges were submitted by Mrs. Earl W. Penrod. Miss Alice Free. Mrs. Hattie E. Ryker, Mrs. Albert Fisher. Mrs. Keith Lasley, Ralph Deakyne, Mrs. George C. McChesney, Mrs. Lonnie T. Sawrey and Mrs. George Herman.
