SYDNEY, N. 5.. Sept. 3—“Ben- nett is no more a dictator than any other government," Hon, R- J. Manion told a po‘itical gath- ering here tonight after Conserva- tives o! Cape Breton South had selected Finlay MacDonald. K. C.. as their candidate in the October elections.

The Minister o1 Railways and Canals was dealing with Liberal leader King's comparison of the Prime Minister to Stalin of Rus- sia. Hitler of Germany and Muc- solini of Italy.

Prime lvllnister Bennett was a strict disoiplinlrlan and at times "had to put his foot down." Dr. Manion said.

“He wouldn't be a. good leader if he didn't and to say that Ben- nett is a. dictator is an insult to the intelligence of the people of this country." he declared.

“If King stood in any of those three countries and attacked the government like he did us. he wouldn't do it a second time. He wouldn‘t be permitted to do;

and would likely be sent’ exile.” The Liberals never advocated

that the country was “cumin! back" and never once did they of- fer anything of a constructive character to the government in

_ Secretary of State Hull announced the decision last night. Hesaid he had advised them granting of the conces- sion at this time was a serious obstacle to the maintenance of peace. The State Department only learned yesterday that the Vacuum Company owned the concession, which carried the right of economic development of more than half of Ethiopia. .

JOINT REPORT PREPARED

At today's meeting of the League of Nations Council in Geneva to consider the Italic-Ethiopian dispute, Britain and France will lay before the council the peace offer they made to Italy in the Paris talks last month. Italy then re- jected it, Anthony Eden of Britain and Premier Laval agreed on the report to be submitted, the Canadian Press learned.

The Associated Press said-Laval and Eden were divid- ed on the question of a joint report but that they agreed to make parallel reports.

In Paris a joint Conciliation Commission decided un- animously neither Italy nor Ethiopia was morally respon- sible for the Ualual incident out of which grew friction between the two countries.

BRITAIN QUIETLY PREPARES

Britain continued quiet mobilization of reinforcements and strengthening of defences in the Mediterranean. The blatttleehlp Barham left Plymouth to join the Mediterranean

ee .

Reports reaching London from Addie Ababa indicated Ethiopia would be willing to become British mandated territory. Dr. W. C. Martin, Ethiopian Minister to London, said in a speech that “Mussolini seems to think the best way to civiiize us is to kill us off."

Emperor Haile Selassie dispatched his personal bodyw guard with 700 modernly equipped soldiers to the southern frontier. He also expressed exasperation at numerous false dispatches being sent abroad from Addie Ababa and warm ed censorship might have to be imposed.

“SANCTIONS MEAN WAR"

In Rome it was reported Italy's representatives ail Geneva would present voluminous data in an effort to prove Ethiopia was unfit for membership in the League of Nations. The Government planned to stand by its declar- ation that “sanctions mean war.”

Official circles in Rome attached little importance to the Conciliation C0mmission’s decision absolving botli countries of blame in the Ualual incident.
