GENEVA, April 21—Downcast by failure to clear a road to East Ai- rlcan peace, the League of Nations tonight looked on Italy's steadily diminishing supply of gold as a possible deterrent to much further extension of her campaign against Ethiopia.

The expense of the war. coupled with sanctions, said a communique issued by the League, has reduced the country's gold supply with re- markable‘ rapidity.

Experts of the committee on sanc- tions. examining reports from many countries, estimated that betweer last Oct. 29 and the end of March this year. -the bank of Italy had lost 105300.000 gold dollars in for- eign assets. This is nearly half the 221200.000 gold dollars it had in October. <

“We are connected with the orig- inal slopeing shaft and are now going through its roof. We have positively identified it by cmcked rail and a pipe line.“ he said.

This was disclosed by the mines inspector in an answer to A. M. Scott of the Oentral Ontario Mining Club, who had made a suggestion to him oi a way to establish the posi- tion oi tbe rescuers in relation to that of the imprisoned men.

FILLED WITH DEBBIS

Trained miners advancing along their fallen-in and unrnapped ap- proach had scooped so much earth away from its face all available space in the tunnel had been filled with debris.

A human chain has been estab- lished to the very mouth of the Rey- nolds shait where filled two-gallon buckets are emptied and then sent back.

Every man here who is ’not resting or working down below had crowded up to the mouth of the shaft when the original draeger crew, coming to the surface at the end of a shift. reported they were nearly through.

IONDON, April 21.—Critics who had confidently predicted that the income tax would remain unchang- ed were confounded today when Neville Chamberlain, Chancellor of the Exchequer, announced an in- crease of three pence in the pound Ashe introduced the 1936-37 budget in the House of’ Commons.

This increase was one of the main features of a budget which set aside the sum of £20,000,000 for supple- mentary estimates for the army, the navy and the Royal Air Force.

Mr. Chamberlain budgetted for a surplus of £484,000 at the end of the year. The surplus for the year end- ed last March 31 was £2,941,000.

Higher taxes on tea and on im- ported lager beer and retention of the duty on key industries were out. standins taxation increases. They were made necessary by the increase in estimated expenditure to £797,- 807,000. Total expenditure last year was £749,9'i9,000.

The slender Chancellor of the Ex- chequer told an intently-listening house that estimated revenues for the coming year were £798,3B1,000. Actual revenues for 1935-6 were $152,920,000.

Mr. Chamberlain announced that the income tax would be raised threepence above the present statu- tory rate or four shillings six pence in the pound. At the same time, however, he said the rebate or as- sessment ior married people would be increased from £170 to £180 and the rebate for children from £50 to £60.

HALIFAX, April 21. — Men lull women in this city had broken down because of over-dramatization in re- ports from the Moose River gold mine where two Toronto men were still alive after being llllliflslllled 10! more than a week, Premier Angus L. Mmcdonald told the Nova scoiia Legislature today.

Premier Mmodonald said he hill sent a telegram to Hector (nrarlean worth, Chairman of the Canadian Radio Commission:

“S I believe for many peqale who have expressed annoy- ance at methods followed by some radio announcers in commenting on Moose River mine calamity I protest against inaccurate, cxsggerltsad and we.-dramatized ‘rate of some of the radio comments.

Speaking to the surface through a miniature t.Iephone dropped down a diamond drill hole, the Doctor reported he could hear the toppings.

AMAZING COURAGE

Although_the two had not been fed for 48 hours be- cause of difficulty in reaching the watered part of the mine ‘where the drill had gone through, they were showing amazing courage.

“Oh, I'm good for another 48 hours,” the distinguished Toronto physician and part owner of the mine told the man on duty at the telephone above.

_ Yesterday_he actually laughed into the speaker while his wife was listening.

“He is certainly game,” Mrs. Robertson exclaimed as she was escorted back to the company office where she had been living now for a week.

. Dr. H. K. MacDonald, one of the doctors in the hospital unit, prepared for any emergency, heard Dr. Robertson speak later and said his voice sounded remarkably strong.

NEW COMMUNICATION LINE

MOOSE RIVER, N. S., April 2l—Still uncertain about the time they would be able to break through to two Tor- onto men entombed in the Moose River gold mine, rescue workerstonrght were drilling a new avenue of communica- tion designed to keep them alive indefinitely.

. Expecting to complete the drilling shortly after mid- night, they had food, heating apparatus, other comforts and necessities including a two-way telephone set, ready to drop to Dr. D. E. Robertson and Alfred Scadding.

They entered the mine with Herman Magill April 12 and it was not known whether the three were alive until Gall)’ on the morning of April 19, when the first diamond drill broke into the 141-foot level. They were fed soup through a rubber hose but early the next day Magill died.

EXPERIENCED 'DIFFICULTY

The weakened survivors had great difficulty in reach- ing the tube because they had to go through a watered part of the level, and yesterday they refused to leave their dry cavern except to get a one-way telephone receiver.

The drill operating tonight was making a three-inch opening from the bottom of a vertical shaft dug direct from the surface during the last week.

Meanwhile miners burrowing in the main shaft, be- lieved to lead to the entombed men, had been held up by the collapse of old crib-work. Carpenters had been rushed tie to reiimber the shaft and the delay was not expected to
