The confusing array oi parties in the present campaign was referred to. The Liberal claim that all these parties had arisen under Conserva- tive rule was ed as a gross misrepresentation.

Bl-IERBROORE, Que, Oct. 2- Men oi the eastern townships who were working were urged by Prem- ier Bennett tonight to ask them- selves: “Would I have a job if Mr. King's policies had been put into effect in H.107" The answer, he sold, would be "no." "There never was a clearer issue for you to do‘ clare upon the polls." the Prime Minister said.

Mr. Bennett in three addresses, at Granby and Magog during the day and hero at night attributed the prosperity oi the eastern town- ships to the govemmentk tariff and trade policies.

The Prime Minister briefly to war talk. st as he had done previously in the cam- paign, that the government had no interest in foreign conflict that did not directly concern Canada. Hon- Emest Lapolnte. former Lib- eral Minister oi Justice, hild de- clared at Quebec last month his belief Mr. Bennett and other pol- itical leaders "do not differ with rne as to the stand Canada should take." "I leave that statement of Mr. Lapointds with you," Mr. Bennett said.

First dairy cheques, the Premier said would not be paid until Oct. l5. These cheques would be the result oi the government's voting 01,000,000 as a dairy stabilisation fund. He hoped that farmers who received their cheques the day sf- ier the election would not "have qualms oi ' “ because they had vofed against the government that made them possible.

Britain, aware of Levers feeling about Germany, was said to have sent Sir Eric Phipps, Ambassador to Berlin, to win from Hitler his a8- aurenco that he would not use the ‘ European crisis to forward

r . hissown ambitions. . Der Fuehrer is said to have told

Sir Eric that Britain might; rest os- sured Germany had “chosen the path of neutrality" and any thought of the Nazis picking the time of crisis to attack France was "ridicul- our." '

Ofliclals pointed out that Hitler. in recent speeches, has stressed Germany's commitment to "neu- trality." ‘They also acknowledged that the Berlin reports were “com- forting" in stressing that Germany "values the British friendship too highly to jeopardize it by flirting with Italy."

GENEVA, Oct. 2-Italian troops have begun their advance against Ethiopia.

Independent advices tonight re- port 50000 of them are concen- trated in the neighborhood of Mount Melissa Alli, which lies north of French Somaliland. But whether they crossed the Ethiopian frontier was not definitely estab- lished.

A telegram from the Negus to the League of Nations definitely charges the Italians already are in Ethiopia. But here the frontier line has never been definitely laid down. It ls disputed territory in the Danakil Desert where, how- ever, the Italian advance if pressed would likely be rapid.

that Vittorio Cerruti, Italian Am- bassador. had given renewed assur- ance yesterday in a talk with Pre- mier Laval that Italy would com- mit no act of aggression outside Ethiopia. The Italian Ambassador conferred again this afternoon with Premier Laval.

British and French delegates to the League have discussed sanc- tions, it was learned here. and have agreed that they should be applied by degrees. It is generally believed they would start by financial measures such as refusal o! loans to Italy. The next step work‘. no to put an embargo on raw mater- ithls such as metals, coal and fuel o .

Since a. unanimous vote of the Council is required for collective sanctions. the French feel they can keep the situation in hand by refusing to vcte for flny."EXC6&5'vc" measures against Italy.
