Urges Quick Action .

N. Dec. 5.—(C.P. Cable)—

Sir Austen Chamberlain, formerly foreign secretary, in the House of Commons today expressed the hope that the government would be able to persuade the members of the League of Nations to apply quickly an embargo on oil exports to Italy. “Except for the United States. there is no country with which I have less desire to quarrel than It-

"In international relations," he said. "there must be agreements and respect for agreement in order that there may be the confidence and stability and sense of security which are essential to orderly lite and progress.

"This government adheres to the provisions of the treaties to which it is a party and continues to be- speak respect by all nations for the provisions of treaties solemnly en. tered into for the purpose of facil.

and common advantage, the con- tacts between and among the coun- tries signatory."

“It is regrettable that this devel- opment in Italian policy should have estranged two peoples who have never had o. serious quarrel before. But it is not merciful to allow the struggle to linger on.

“The oil sanction could be sp- plled comparatively quickly. 1t is batter for all concerned that it should be applied as quickly as possible." .

Sir Austen referred to the poss- ibility of Ethiopia refusing a settle- ment of which the League approv- ed. He urged that the African Kingdom should beinformed that “we shall not continue pressure on Italy indefinitely but only until the League is agreed that a satisfactory solution has been reached."

The former Foreign Secretary. discussing United States moves in the Ethiopian situation. said the whole trendof that country was to "abstain from any close arrange- ment with any other power." this reason, he said, Britain could not expect the United States to be a partner "in any distant adven- ture" where "extreme measures are taken."

Anthony Eden, Minister of League of Nations Affairs. declared the fact that 50 nations were willing to shoulder the "unwelcome respon- sibility" of sanctions constituted a remarkable testimony as to their anxiety to see a new era prevail.

uovznnon INTERVIEWS HAUPTMANN

Governor Hoffman Qf New Jersey G e t s Condemned" Man’s Story First Hand.

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

NEW YORK, Dec. 5—Gcvernor Hamid Hoffman of New Jersey, a member of the "Court of Mercy" that may be Bruno Ric“ ’ Haupt- menu's last hope, disclosed today be had interviewed the condemn -‘ kldnapper in the Trenton, N. J.. death house.

Prison attaches said it was the first time in their recollection ex- tcnding over at least seven years. that the state's governor had vis- ited a doomed prisoner. ‘rhe in- terview, which took place one night early in October, was carried out with such privacy that only War- den. Mark Klmberling and the two principals knew of it.

Special Arrangements

The warden, in describing the specialarrangements he made, said he stood at a distance and did not hear the conversation, which lasted more than an hour.

In revealing the visit, Governor Hoffman also disclosed he had urged the seven other members of the Court of Pardons to call on I-Iauptmnnn and "learn his side of the case at first hand."

' William Conkiin. the Governor's press aide, said: , ~ .

"The Governor pointed out that the Court of Pardons is a court of mew)’. and he believes that

APPesr - Rested

Arriving at noon today from the summer-like environment in which he spent the last fortnight on the Georgia coast, Mr. King seemed much rested and very fit. He had not been idle, he said, since he left Ottawa Nov. l4, but had man- BBed to get in a. great deal of walking and relaxation following the strenuous months of campaign- ing snd forming a. government.

Although the government takes the stand that the statement last week-end denying responsibility for the auctions suggestions made at Geneva by Dr. Rlddell, Canadian permanent advisory officer at the League of Nations, left nothing more to be said. it is believed that Mr. King will make some further announcement.

To Attend Labor Parley

Dr. Riddell must leave almost at once to attend the International Labor Conference at Santiago, Chile, and it is anticipated that either Senator Raoul Dandurond, minister without portfolio who is now in Europe, or Hon. Vincent Massey, Canadian High Commis- sionecln London, will be appoint- ed to act in his place on the League committee of 18 when it reconvenes Dec. i2.

Mr. Lapointe today denied that Dr. Riddelks departure for Chile had anything to do with his be- haviour as a member of the com- rnlttee of 19. On Nov. 2 Dr. Riddell suggested to the committee that oil, coal and iron be included in the list of commodit‘ named in the sanctions ‘ Italy.

Last week-end the government issued a statement declaring ‘that Dr. Riddeli, in making the aug- gestion, was acting on his own re- sponsibility and not on instruc- tions from the present government.

The order-in-council‘ assigning Dr. lliddell as Canada's represent- ative at Santiago was passed Nov. 22, eight days before the govern- ment's disavowal of his sanctions suggestion. In the meantime Canada had been represented as taking the lead at Geneva in im- posing additional sanctions against Italy. The Santiago Labor Con- ference opens Jan. 2. Dr. Riddell is this year's chairman of the In- ternatipnal Iobor office governing

Pleaded Innocence

Beyond saying that I-lauptlnann had "pleaded his complete inno- cence," Governor Hoffman declined to divulge the details of their talk.

Later, in New York to address a luncheon club, the Governor called it "Just a casual visit." He denied he was conducting a priv- ate investigation of the case.

. “Some people have been working in the matter," he said," but I am not at liberty to discuss it."

Coincidentally, it became known that Ellis Parker. chief of the lBurlington County, N. J. detec- tives, has been continuing his in- vestigation of the case and has kept the Governor posted on all new developments.

In his drive back, Lafleur said, he circled the Government Print- ing Bureau, starting at the front where a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman stands guard all day and swinging around the rear of the building which is guarded by another mountle. Neither consta- ble noticed anything unusual.

At the Hull side of the bridge Lafleur had to pass a street in- iersection on which two large tav- oma stand. A policeman is usually on duty there. If the officer was there when the accountants car passed he saw nothing that police would admit. ‘ ‘

From that point, Lafleur said. his gangster companion made him drive east about six blocks within the city. then north about three and east again into almost open country. Two miles from the city he made Iaflcur turn into a side- road near a hof-dog stand and drive a quarter of e. mile.
