“Morrisseyism” charge, which he j termed fully as bad as any other j “ism” now in existence.

I could run for nomination for sheriff—without opposition.” “Whoever it was, I did not send him.

NEW ‘RELIGION’ INSPIRES WAR, TEACHER SAYS Steel Makers, International Leaders Blamed for Militarism. PEACE INSTITUTE OPENS International Relations Group Hears Earlham Professor Outline Menace. Anew religion of militaristic nationalism fostered by steel manufacturers and international leaders is driving the world to war, Prof. W. Perry Kissick, Earlham College, charged today at the Indianapolis Institute of International Relations. The Institute, sponsored by Butler University and Indiana Central College, is in session at the Y. W. C. A. At the same conference Dr. Garfield V. Cox, University of Chicago finance professor, said that international co-operation in the field of economic policy appears necessary in order to secure business recovery, and Dr. Milton H. Hadley, Chicago, spoke on “Dictatorship or Non-Violence.” “We are living today in a world unusually full of turmoil—a world where Christian values are in danger,” Prof. Kissick said. “The power of idealism, as always, seems as tiny as a mustard seed. The philosophy of militarism and nationalism is spreading among the American people as evidenced by the fact that we have now the largest peace time appropriation for the "Army and Navy. Sees New Religion “We are seeing anew religion created under our noses, a religion of nationalism. World leaders, steel manufacturers and others know that with this religion they can drive the masses on to war. “The entire Italian Ethiopian affair has greatly weakened the League of Nations and hastened the return of the diplomatic theory of the balance of power.” The speaker pointed out that the Italian-Ethiopian dispute had weakened the circle of powers around Germany and had given Hitler the strength to reoccupy the Rhineland, Explaining the reason for the Italian venture into Africa, Prof. Kissick said, “The tllians are suffering from a gigantic national inferiority complex. They remember the glory that was Rome and they also remember that it was a long I time ago.” Unified in 19th Century After year of struggle in the nine- | teenth century, he pointed out, the ; Italian nation was able to unify itself, but it still did not occupy an important place in European politics. The reason was because the j country has a small amount of na- ! tional resources, a low standard of | living and started too late on its colonial campaign, he said. Dr. Cox said in part: “There is a contradiction between America’s high tariff and our huge holdings of foreign investments. (Turn to Page Three)

I. C. C. ORDERS RAIL FARE CUT Protests of Eastern Lines Ignored; June 2 Set as Starting Time. By United Press WASHINGTON, April 18.-Ignor-ing protests of eastern railroads, the Interstate Commerce Commission today ordered two-cent passenger fares to go. into effect June 2 in railroad coaches throughout the nation. The eastern carriers had asked for an 18-month delay while they experimented with a 2.5-cent mile fare. The commission held that the railroads presented no argument which was not before the commission previously, except to call attention to the extraordinary flood conditions which had cut deeply into their profits. The commission therefore reiterated its order placing Pullman fares at 3 cents a mile without surcharge and coach fares at 2 cents a mile. The I. C. C. said it believed that the reduction in fares would “benefit rather than injure the carriers.” All Eastern carriers, with exception of the Baltimore & Ohio, joined in asking for a delay, on the grounds that passenger traffic was stable and that any rate reductions automatically would result in a loss. For the last two years, railroads in the West and South have been experimenting with low fares and in practically all cases have had large increases in traffic, which have more than made up for the lower cost of railroad tickets. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad agreed with the Western and Southern roads on the reduction and said it was eager to put the lower fares into effect. MAYOR KERN ORDERS QUARANTINE ON DOGS Animals Running at Large Will Be Seized, Is Warning. Mayor Kern, in a proclamation, today warned that all dogs not on the premises of owners, on leashes or muzzled will be seized and disposed of according to law during the next six months.

One hundred and fortyfour persons have been bitten by dogs in Indianapolis since the first of the year. The Safety Board this week hired four men to work as dog catchers under Chief Morrissey. Dogs taken to the pound and not claimed are destroyed. ROAD WORK HALTED AGAIN BY PAY FIGHT Terre Haute Pickets Persuade 75 to Abandon Work. By United Press BRAZIL, Ind..

Kemal’s Troops Patrol Zone, Marking End of Another War Treaty. STRAIT PACT IS DEFIED Ottoman Empire Regains Control Over Area Lost in Great Conflict. By United Press ANKARA (Angora), Turkey, April 18.—Turkish soldiers stood watch along the Dardanelles today, in token that another World War treaty was dead. President Mustapha Kemal Ataturk decided upon the occupation of the zone, it was learned, because of the dangerous international situation. The cabinet approved the move Thursday night at a meeting which Marshal Fevzi attended. Troops moved into position along the 47-mile-long zone, the ancient Hellespont, yesterday. By the occupation, and the expected fortification, Turkey again takes control of the strait —only three to four miles wide—between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, in defiance of the straits convention of the Lausanne Treaty which provided for the internationalization of the zone and of the Bosporus Strait to the east. No real opposition was expected from the signatories of the Lausanne Treaty. straitTeizure STUNS BRITISH Turkey Had Given Pledge of Negotiating First, Say Officials. Bl r FREDERICK KUH (Copyright, 1936, by United Press) LONDON, April 18. Turkey’s j promise that it would support Great ] Britain in event of an attack by Italy was expected today to make certain that there would be no real opposition to its reoccupation of the Dardanelles in emulation of Germany’s remilitarization of the Rhineland. Officials were understood to have been astonished at news that Turkish soldiers had occupied the straits. The Turkish note of April 11, notifying Lausanne Treaty powers of the country’s intention of reclaiming full sovereignty over the straits —including their defense—clearly indicated readiness to negotiate before acting. Turkey had even asked the League of Nations to put the problem on the agenda for the League Council meeting in May. Only yesterday Great Britain offiically notified Turkey that it appreciated the method in which it raised the question. Increasing tension in the Mediterranean was believed the factor which caused the change in President Mustapha Kemal Ataturk’s plans to seek consent of the treaty signatories. occupationlustified, SOVIET OFFICIAL SAYS Turkish Move Approved by Russia, Litvinov Declares.

DUCE IN HAPPY MOOD, THINKS VICTORY NEAR Learns Selassie Is Reported Ready to Seek Peace, Quit Throne. (Copyright, 1936, by United Press) ROME, April 18.—Premier Benito Mussolini, jubilant, awaited confidently today what he expects to be the greatest triumph of his dramatic carer. He visualized the collapse of Ethiopia. the abdication of Emperor Haile Selassie, the virtual annexation of a country nearly three times as big as Italy, the humiliation of Great Britain and the'disastrous defeat of a League of Nations he has always hated. It was understood that he had sent to Marshal Pietro Badoglio, commander-in-chief in East Africa, detailed Instructions on his terms for an armistice and the abdication of the Emperor. Believes Peace Is Near Unofficial but reliable sources said that he had received assurances that the Ethiopian Crown Prince, Afsa Wosen, waF, ready to negotiate peace unconditionally and to assume the nominal sovereignty of the country as a puppet emperor under Italian domination. It was even insisted that the Emperor himself was ready to abdicate in wosen’s favor, and had communicated this offer to Italian representatives. But regardless of immediate developments, Mussolini saw himself today as in the final stage of winning a victory greater than even he had dreamed. Envisions Control of Sea He was beginning already, it was understood, to lay his plans for Europe, to restore Italy’s position as the protector of Austria and to take his full place as a chieftain in discussions for a general European scheme of political consolidation. Furthermore, he foresaw the rise of Italy as the great Mediterranean power—in a vital section of the British line of communication to the Near East, India and Australia. Today, with the beginning of the sixth month, all agencies of government sought to impress the public with the imminence ot complete military and diplomatic victory. ITALIANS TO RETAIN AREA WON BY ARMS Report by Committee of 13 Bares Duce’s Intention. By United. Press GENEVA, April 18.—The League of Nation’s Conciliation Committee of 13, which for months tried to bring peace between Italy and Ethiopia, formally adopted a report today admitting that its mediatory efforts have failed —a diplomatic defeat due in part to Italy’s demands that it be allowed to keep the Ethiopian territory it has conquered. The formal report did not place the blame on either Italy or Ethiopia but significantly it did. for the first time, reveal that among the Italian conditions for peace has been the ultimatum that she retain the African land her soldiers have won by arms. On Monday, the report will be presented to the League council. SELASSIE APPEALS TO LEAGUE FOR AID Message Discounts Italian Report of Approachinr Abdication.

German Leader Holds Key to World Peace, Briton Says. ADMITS LEAGUE FAILURE Assures Duce London Does Not Seek to ‘Humiliate’ Italy for Invasion. By X nited Press BEWDLE Y, Worcestershire, England, April 18.— Britain's prime minister; Stanley Baldwin, today hailed Adolf Hitler of Germany as the man who holds the peace of Europe and called upon him to end the Nazi “dictatorship”'in Germany as a step toward European good-will. In an important speech before his constituency here, the bluff and stalwart Prime Minister called for a campaign to restore the collective security of Europe, pledged Italy that Britain did not seek its “defeat and humiliation” as a result of the Ethiopian war and admitted the failure of the League of Nations’ efforts to halt that conflict. Baldwin declared the world still has some way to go before it attains collective security and that any security system “will never work unless all nations who participate therein are prepared simultaneously to threaten with military sanctions any future aggressor." It was a partial confession of the failure of British and League efforts to halt the Italio-Ethiopian conflict. Denies Closing of Canal Baldwin indicated that Britain will refrain from attempting to close the Suez Canal as a final last drastic penalty against Italy. After citing the League’s inability to prevent the war and referring to the weakening effect upon the penalty program of the non-par-ticipation of the United States, Germany and Japan, the prime minister said: “It is difficult to see how in the existing membership of the League a blockade would be agreed to by members forming the League.” Referring to Italy’s alleged use of poison gas against Ethiopia, Baldwin asserted that the end of civilization i$ certain if the same methods are employed in Europe. Fears Anarchy After War “If such a thing were done, when war came to an end, the raging peoples of every country, torn with passion and suffering from the horror, would destroy every government in Europe and we would have anarchy as a protest against the wickedness of those in high places,” Baldwin said. “The next few months are vital in determining war or peace,” the prime minister said, and appealed to Adolf Hitler “to lift a dictatorship which in the long run brings more perils in its train than it removes.” Baldwin pleaded with Hitler, “who is in a better position to do so than any other living man in Europe,” to help banish the specter of war. Pledges Britain’s Help “He has it in his power. God grant that he will have the will. If he is willing, nothing Britain can do will be left undone to help him. “I am convinced that if Hitler has the will there would be no people in Europe but that would cooperate with him for they look toward war with horror,” Baldwin continued. Looking into the imediate European future, Baldwin asserted, “I would not say that omens are wholly unfavorable. The sky is dark in many places.” He reaffirmed Britain's eagerness to mediate the Franco-German Understanding.
