Communications Cut

One of these lines-to Aduwa- has been broken, and the Gov- ernment therefore was in the dark respecting the situation on the whole northern front.

Fragmentary reports have trick- led in to the capital by small radio sets, but these have given no con- ception of the general situation.

An example oflthe meagre in- formation reaching the capital was shown today by an official announcement saying Aussa tribes- men_near the French Someliland border bad shot down an Italian rdilane with two officers and one

To Blockade Shipments

Asked if Italian wzships would attempt to block shipment of arms to Ethiopia by halting and searching. merchant ships, he shrugged and said: "Why begrudge the Ethiopians their weapons? Let them buy more arms-although they are heavily armed already. But to buy they must have money. Who will lend them cash?"

The nations adopted the list of “implements of war" used by Pre- sident Roosevelt in his neutrality proclamation. but added the items of gunpowder and explosives.

The sub-committee on financial sanctions probably will suppress all governmental credits and loans floated in foreign markets to Italy and all bank and’ commercial credits. This process. the officials said, would go further even to the extent of preventing remittances from Italians abroad, which total a huge sum annually.

The League's “general staff’ is expected to recommend a slogan of “buy nothing from Italy."

The British believe an interrup- tion of the Italian export trade, coupled with an embargo on irn- ports, would isolate Italy both coming and going.

A financial sanction, it was said, might embrace such things as payment on post office money ord- ers and discontinuance of the honoring of cheques on foreign banks used by tourists. This last might result in cutting off all tourist traffic.

(By Jacques Barre, I-lavas Staff Correspondent) (Copyright 1935 By The llavas News Agency) ASMARA, Oct. 11-(0. R-Havasi -A crushing new Italian offensive on the western sector of the north- ern front was being prepared to-

night.

Itrlian forces will try to move down the Tak-kam River Valley, about 75 miles west of Aduwa. in a drive to penetrate into the heart of Ethiopia. Observers here believ- ed the push would begin early next week. It will follow the line of least resistance through an area flanked by giant mountain peaks.

At the same time the Reuters correspondent with the Italian army reported a great force of Ethiopian lrregulars under Res Beyoum threatened Aduwa from the east.

He said the Ethiopians were ad- vancing in a counter-offensive through the Mariam Valley over the same route used by Italian troops in 1896 when they were crushed by an overwhelming Ethi- opian force.

Unconfirmed reports said two It- alians had been killed and 30 we in an engagement with Ethic ian bands along the Setit

In ' Lea Is Still

How one plank in the first Dee platform came to be demolished at the pro-banquet ‘ercnce of Liberal party workers on April 5th last was revealed to I11 interested audience in the Strand Theatre last night by Mr. Robert Connolly, speaker on behalf of the Recon- struction party candidates for Queens in the federal election.

It will be recalled that on the dale mentioned the local Liberal press published a. front-page en- nounccment on behalf of Mr. Lea, inviting supporters of the Liberal party to meet him that afternoon in the Board Room of the City Hall, where an opportunity would be given "to fully and freely discuss the various planks of the Liberal platform before it is finally adopt- ed." The meeting was to be foi- lowed by a complimentary dinner at the Canadian National Hotel, at which “the platform and policy cf the Liberal party as presented by Hon. Mr. Lea will be broadcast." ‘The anticipated platform an- nouncement was a fiasco, Mr. Lea contenting himself with giving merely "an outline 'of some of the features of the platform which is to be rounded completely into shape after all the provincial candidates are nominated."

Mr. Connolly last night referred to the pro-banquet conference in' the City Hall. He said one plank of Mr. Leo's platform at that time —ihe only one of any direct benefit —iequired that all persons in charge of public funds must be

holus-bolus. It was not allowed to appear. either in Mr. Lee's speech that night or in the party platform subsequently adopted.

Last night's meeting, held in the interests of the Reconstruction candidates, Messrs. Ings and Hughes, was fairly well attended, though there were many vacant seats. A few interruptions occurred, and one disturber at the rear of the hall was forcibly removed, but on the whole the meeting was or- derly and each speaker received applause and. a fair hearing.

Mr. James McKee presidedi

Mr. Earl Ings, the first speaker, said the new Reconstruction Party is ridiculed in many places as the “destructiorw party. The party or- iginated practically out of disputes but the disputes were worthwhile, he claimed. He knew as a farmer that he did not get enough for what he had to sell but at the some time he knew that the con- sumer pays enough.

There was no need o: a third party if the old parties had been willing to carry out reforms which were indicated as being clearly necessary. he claimed. .

lVIr. King, he believed, was not coming back. The people found it amusing to get a hard-boiled Lib- eral up against a hard-boiled Con- servative but what they really wanted was to get dollars in their pockets. This, he argued, was what e national government would do. He had always been a Liberal, Mr Irigs said, but he was through with being a, Liberal in this campaign.

He drew applause when he said l5 Legislative members would be sufficient to run the affairs of the Province. More legislative economy would put more money in the labor- ing man's pocket.

He dealt also with unfair freight rates, chain stores, reforestation, packing company profits.

Mr. Wellington Dixon, the next speaker, discussed ‘ ‘from the exchange standpoint. There was, he declared, as great a price spread in our banking system as

He branded as a lie the Liberal press statement that the Stevens party did not put up a candidate to oppose Premier Bennett in his constituency. ,

Tho depression which began in 1929, he said, had been caused by selfishness, greed end corruption on the part of money barons, and mismanagement on the part of the men we sent to Ottawa to repre- sent us. Mr. Stevens was described as "the greatest tesmen in the history of our time." Some of the measures he advocated were dealt With. '

While criticising "big interests" Mr. Hughes was interrupted by a voice asking: "What about the Manufacturers Finance Corpor- ation?"

In reply, the speaker denounced a. circular thrown in the doors criticising Mr. Stevens for having been a director in this corporation. while the names of Mr. William Duff and other Liberal members of Parliament were omitted. 'I‘iiis propaganda was so vile that the party that issued it did not dare put their names to it.

Informed of Mr. Stevens state- ment that reports sent out by the Agriculture Department were dic- tated by Canada Packers, Ltd, Mr. Weir said:

"The statement is most unwar- ranted. The reports are based strictly on scale ticketsales cany- ing the actual weight, class and selling price. Stockyard agents gauge the condition of the market by the number of livestock going over the scales and prices shown on official scale tickets issued by an independent weighimester.

Parliament Will Con- vene Oct. 22 -— Elec- tion Rumored Last of November.

(By Thomas T. Champion Canad- ian Press Staff Writer)

LONDON, Oct. 1l—Prlme Min- ister Stanley Baldwin is being pressed by his supporters to hold a general election Nov. 21. This is even a week earlier than the date suggested by many Cabinet Min- isters earlier this week and at that time Mr. Baldwin was not over-enthusiastic about the idea.

The Government announced to- day Parliament will convene Oct. 22, a week earlier than originally ordained. The feature of this ses- sion will undoubtedly be a two or three day debate on the inter- national situation. Indeed it is the foreign affairs questi the Government probably has in mind when it explains the early con- veriing as in "the public interest."

The international situation is de- veloping fast- The extent to which G-zest Britain will oppose Italy's aggression on Ethiopia and the amount the Government cares to spend on expected armament in- creases will doubtless be debated with some conviction.

But after this full-dress discus- sion of world affairs parliament is expected rapidly to dispose of the remainder of its business and the members will be free to return to their ridings-and possibly to launch their ie-electlon campaigns. All but about so Government supporters will be in the field ag-
