Italy In Incident

(A.P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

PARIS. Beat 3—(A.P-)—Nich- olas Politic. arbitrator of the ltalo-Ethioplan commission, said Wflllht reports from Geneva that the Comrnissi I had decided the Ethiopians were the aggressors in the Uaiual incident were "prgmg- ture."

An informed source close to the commission, however, said "me whole weight oi the evidence has been against Ethiopia from the start and Italy undoubtedly, will win the decision."

Polltis said a decision will not be drafted until late tomorrow and will be published in Geneva Wed- nesday.

IQNDON, Sept. 2-(A.P.)-A Reuters News Agency dispatch from Geneva reported today mgr, Nicholas Poiitis, neutral member of the Italic-Ethiopian conciliation commission, has decided the Eth- iopians were aggressor-s in the Usi- uai incident and that moral sat- isfaction must be given to Italy.

The Politic decision was reported to comprise three other points:

1. Regarding the question of in- demnity, it will first be necessary to establish the question of terri- torial sovereignty.

2. A commission should be set up to decide a. frontier line.

I. If the commission does not reach an agreement, the question shall be submitted to the perman- ent ocurt of Justice at The Hague.

One Dead and Fifteen Wounded in Bloody Rioting.

(A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

PELZER, B. 0., Sept. 2.—Cot:cn mlll workers and strike pickets clashed today at the Pelser Manu- facturing Company's plants here in bloody riottngwhich left one dead and l5 wounded.

Attempting to operate without National Guard Troops on duty for the first time since a strike was called July 29, the company's main plant and its No. four unit, a mile away, were the scenes of gun battles in which more than 500 shots were said to have been fired.

Governor Olin Johnston,

W110

Manly last Friday declared a “state

of insurrection" at Pelzer ended and withdrew troops after 3t days duty, immglataly ordered two com- panies here.

Mrs. Bertha Kelly, 21, mother of two children, was killed in the first burst of gunfir at the main plant. J. T. McDcuga, 50, a watchmaker who was taking his son to work, was shot in the head and little hope was held for his recovery. '

The firing started first at the main plant. J. C. Turner, clerk in a store Just across from the plant, said pickets had formed lines and were holding those who wanted to work out of the mlll when a man broke the lines with his automobile and the firing begun.

INCREASED iiHEAT EXPORT PIiEiltTEil

Crop Yield Below Average — Increas- ed _Demand for Can- adian Newsprint.

favor increased wheat exports from Canada, says the September latter of the Royal Bank of Can-

Canadals 1934-35 exports of lM,000,000 bushels was the low- est in i5 years and with a recovery in world purchasing power and re- duced crops in other exporting countries. the letter says "it seems improbable this low level will soon be re ted."

Probability of a steadily increas- ing overseas demand for Canadian ‘neewsprint is suggested in the let-

r.

Ne Production

Newsprint exports to countrias other than the United States‘ were‘ six per cent of Canadian produc- tion in 192'! but amounted to 18 per cent of the increased 1934 production. In i932 Canadian newsprint production was 1,914,- 000 tons and in 1984 increased to

$999,000 tons, one-third of the increase being sold in overseas markets.

Scandinavian and Newfoundland output oi newsprint, says the let- tor, seems to be bpproaching the maximum which can be economic- aiiy produced. Unles newsprint prices rule higher, proposals for ‘ .. ased United States produc- tion by develop mills in Oregon or Alaska or by a new southern pine procus seem improbable due to the large investments ry. Home demand is looked to take care of any increased production in Russia. -

Below Average Crop

Damage from stem rust, drought and frost to the western wheat crop is estimated at 15 to 20 per cent. The yield, according to the letter, will not exceed 300000.000 bushels and for the fifth time in seven years the Canadian wheat crop will fall far below the ioniz- term average.

In the past month the wheat

crop prospects have deteriorated rapidly and now large areas will not be worth harvesting. the let- ter states,‘ and other large areas will return far less than an aver- age crop.

In the Maritlmcs r " "omisc excellent yields. Hay ,\i;ld was spotty and below average. The potato crop is below average. Apple orchards have developed satisfactorily and the market cut- lock is favorable, domestic sup- plies of apples in England and the continent being reported to be smaller than" last year.

In Quebec all crops are in ab- out sveragc condition. Iioed crops are not so promising as grains.

FamilyBreaks-up National Expense

IDNDON, Sept. 2—-(C. P.)—A paper by Lord Feversham, read at the Imperial Social Hygiene Cop- gress on domestic relations cases in the courts, noted that 10,000 sep- aration orders were made every War, and that each year 3,90) men were sent to prison for failing to pay maintenance orders.

It was impossible to say how many more such-cases had been prevented by wise decisisns 0f the courts or by wise intervention, but it was clear that a tremendous na- tional " -., was effected when the

Serious Is

BERLIN, Sept. li-Catholics t0- nlght took a serious view of the openly critical pastoral letter read Sunday in all churches of the .' ith throughout the third Reich. They said several closing senten- ces of the letter co-tained a threat of direct im_~or-tanoe.

These sentences said, “we do not worry about our ohudch- but re

are greatly worried about our people and our fatherland. Our church has uv heathenlsm

oi old and wiifnot be overpowered by new heathenlsm.

"It is possible, however, for the candlestick oi the faith to be re- moved from individual countries which prove wanting in the hour of trial (Revelations 2, verso 9).”

To many Catholics this signified a veiled threat of interdiction, which would mean that church baptisms, burials and‘holy com- munion would not be administered to Catholics within Germany.

BIG BRITISH INTEREST mu |_N_iI_iiiVEii

Government Finds No L a r g e Financial Concern Interested In Concessions,

(‘Copyright 1m by The rum News Agency) .

LONDON, Sept. 2-(0. P.l—A thorough investigation by the gov- ernment has confirmed the belief that no large British financial concern is interested in the oil and mineral concessiair granted by Ethiopia to an American cor- poration, it was announced to- night.

The investigation was intensi- sified by reports from Addis Ababa that 51-000000 has been advanced by the African Explor- ation and Development Corpor- ation, holder cf the concession, for the purchase of arms and ammun- ition by Emperor l-laile Selassie.

It. also was felt that Anthony Eden, Minister for League of Nat- ions Affairs. who left by airplane this afternoon for Paris and Geneva, would be less embarrassed in negotiations there and before the league of Nations if British interest in the concession were thoroughly disproved.

Reports Denied

Authoritative sources denied re- ports that the govemment’s_ in- structions to adslse that Ethiopia withhold the concession had been tempered, pointing out that Sir Sydney Barton, Minister to Addis Ababa, presumably had already conveyed this advice to the Em-

peror. r

According to Reuters correspon- dent at Addis Ababa, the Ethiop- an Government denied receiving $1,000,000 or any other advance from the oil company. It was also denied a secret agreement accom- panied the concession. The sec- recy which surrounded the nego- tiations, however, has convinced many observers here that import- ant factors are as yet unrevealed.

British treasury officials said their investigations indicated none of the “big five" banks is inter-

ested in the Et“ ‘ s ocncesion- The big five are the Midland. Barciays, Lloyds, Westminster

and National Provincial banks.)

Injured King Will ' Attend Funeral

BRUSSELS, Sept. 2-—(C.P. Hav- as)-K1ng Leopold of the Belgians, suffering from a broken rib and severe head injuries, tomorrow will follow the hearse bearing the body of his wlie, Queen Astrid, killed in an automobile accident in Switz- erlanci last Thursday.

The funeral of the beloved Queen will be attended by royal personages from virtually all the reigning houses of Europe.

The King has been in seclusion in his palace near Brussels since the day after the tragic accident. An x-ray today revealed he had suffered a broken rib. Attending physicians also arurounced he had painful cuts and bruises about the head, arms and shoulders. He was said to be suffering much pain but

While the treaswy. is in a critical condition, Aberhart does not know its exact state but one of his first acts will be to rush through an in- veatigrion of the province's finan- cial condition. This may end with an appeal to the Dominion Govem- merit for money.

The Emperor turned aside s08- gestions by Sir Sidney and the French and Italian ministers that the concessio be withheld. He contended it was a matter to be determined by himself.

Arab Troops on Way

General Balbo in Rome told Mussolini hundreds of Arab troops had left Libya for East Africa and their places were being taken by volunteers. Newspapers regarded the Ethiopian concessions as con- firming Italy's duty to refuse any compromise in the African dispute.

GENEVA, Sept. it-(APP-What- ever may be the League of Nations council decision in the fateful Ethiopian dispute. League officials warned tonight, the deliberations beginning Wednesday are likely to take far more time than has generally been expected.

Three topics were almost cer- tain to occupy the council at length, regardless of what other complications may intervene. The topics are:

1. The report by Anthony Eden, British Minister for League of Na- tions affairs. on what actually hap- pened Just before the breakdown of the tri-power Paris conversa- tions.

2. A finding by the Italo-Ethio- plan conciliation commission of the Ualual frontier incident.

3. An expose of Ethiopia's alleg- ed unfitness for League -member- ship, which Premier Mussolini of Italy has promised to submit.
