Sir Samuel Hoare Makes Plea For

European Peace

Foreign Secregr-y Declares In Commons That Sanctions To Be

Taken Were Not Military

Economic And And Reaffirms

British Friendship For Italy.

(By Charles P. Nutter, Associated Press Staff Writer) A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

LONDON, Oct, 22-A new British peace call to Premier Mussolini was sounded in the House of Commons today when Parliament began a three-day debate upon the inter- national situation, preliminary to dissolution and the gen-

eral elections.

Striking a conciliatory note, Sir Samuel Hoare, For-

eign Secretary, summed up

the Italo-Ethiopian situation

with assurances that sanctions to be taken against Italy were economic and not military. He pleaded that there is still time .to work out an honorable and acceptable African

peace agreement.

Sir Samuel's speech was followed by vigorous opposi- tion attacks ,upon government policies, led by Major Clement Richard Attlee, Labor, and Sir Herbert Samuel, Liberal, which furnished a keynote for the election, ex- pected to be fought out largely on international issues.

Reaffirming British friendship for Italy, Sir Samuel declared there was no quarrel with Fascism. noted Italy is still a member of the League and said there was still "a breathing spell left before the ap- plication of economic pressure be- gins."

"Cannot this eleventh hour change be so used as to make it unnecessary to proceed further along this unattractive road of oc- onomic action against s fellow member, an old friend and a foc- mer ally?" he asked.

Praises Iouguo

The session began with Sir Samuel's declaration that the League is one of tho greatest in- stitutions mankind evco‘ sttompted to build.

He expressed belief that League economic pressure decided upon against Italy would “definitely shorten the duration of war."

Of military sanctions, he said a collective agreement at Geneva, which is a pro-requisite for the en- forcement of such sanctions, "has never existed and such measures, therefore, have never formed any part of our policy."

Expressing disbelief that anyone

in Europe wants war. Sir Samuel - ‘l said

"how unscrupulous. in view of these facts, that propagsndis hold us up as war mongers who are determined to plunge the world into a general conflagrstlon."

Remarks also were directed to- ward “alien slanders" and "lies" against British conduct in the dis- pute.

Referring to the‘ solidarity of the British Empire and the support of the Dominions, “in one of the most critical situations that has faced us in this generation," Sir Samuel remarked: "Lot those prophets of misfortune who have marked down

MINSTER, Kent, Oct, 22- Lord Carson, “the champion of Ulster" who fought the establishment of home rule in Ireland, will be buried Saturday in St. Anne’s Cath- edral, Belfast.

The former First Lord of

the Admiralty and former Golicitor General died today at the age of 81 of chronic lymphatic leukemia, which became serious several weeks ago. The Ulster Parliament passed a special act authoriz- ing the burial at St. Anne’s. It will be the first interment in the Cathedral.

Baron Carson of Duncaim died suddenly after he had appeared to be slightly improved this morning. Members of his family. including Lady Carson, were at the bedside. The war-tune Prime Minister, David Lloyd George. described lord Carson as "one of the most ro- msrkable figure; of his time." on learning of his death, Lord Oar. son had once called Lloyd George "s little popinjay,"

Will Not Talk Peace Until Enemy Leaves Country, He Tells Correspondent.

By James A. Mills, Associated Press Foreign staff Ciliyright, 1935, by Asfld Press

(By Guardian's special Wire)

ADDIB ABABA, Oct. 22, — Em- peror Haile Selassie told the As- sociated Press today he would be wllllns to dlscum peace with Pre- micr Mussolini of Italy “only when his soldiers get out of our country."

In an interview granted this cor- respondent, the Emperor, who charged that the Italians invaded Ethiopia “without the shadow of provocation." at the same time denied reports abroad that the Ital- ian army had used either poison gss or dum-dum bullets.

Asked precisely what peace terms would be acceptable, I-Iaile Selassie replied:

"I do not think this is the mo- ment to discuss eventual peace terms. In any case the whole dis- pute is in the hands of the League of Nations, which I am sure will sec that, if peace comes, it will h a Just peace, leaving our sovereignty, territorial integrity and independ- ence intact.

"Any other peace is not peace but stark confiscation."

Adding to his credit marks for the ‘Italians. the Emperor denied that

At their first annual meeting, held in the City Board Room yes- terday, the Prince Edward Island Fishermens Union passed a num- ber of important resolutions af- fecting the industry's harvesting, marketing and distribution prob- lems. The resolutions included in- dorsation of Mr. A. E. MacLeairs application for the position of Minister of Fisheries in the Cab- inet of Rt. 1-ion. W. L. Mackenzie King; a. demand for better trans- portation facilities for the ship- ment of smelts; expression of dis- satisfaction over "the pernicious habit of illegal fishing of oysters" and of leasing oyster beds to priv- ate individuals; also a request for a, qualified inspector to classify the different grades of boneless cod in the interests both of the consumer and primary producer.

Another resolution expressed dis- approval of the fedeal grant of $5,000 to the United Maritime Flshermens Union which is not shared by the Prince Edward Is- land Flshermeffs Union. The Is- land fishermen withdrew from the,United Maritime Union last year and formed their own assoc- iation because they believed Nova Scotia was getting the "lion's share" of the annual grant.

Meeting Largely Attended

Fishermen from every part of the Province were in attendance at yesterday's convention, at which sddmsss were given by‘ Premier Lea, Hon. J. P. McIntyre, Minister of Public Works, Ex Premier W. J. P.

AFTERNOON SESSION

The first speaker at the after- noon sesslon was Mir. H. B. Hues- tis, Conway. He criticised severely the practice of leasing oyster beds to private individuals. Small oys- tel-s are taken from the public beds to stock the private beds, he claimed Often, too, the lessee is not a. bona tide fisherman but s farmer or fox rancher. The leased bade are permitted to be fished two weeks in advance of the pub- lie beds and as a msult the man who makes his living by fishing already glutted by oysters from the leased beds.

Mr. Leo Berrigan, New Haven, in o. short talk on the oyster in- dustry claimed it was probably in worse condition than the other branches of the industry as a m- sult of not taking into consider- ation the wishes of the fisher- men.

Hon. Mr. McIntyre

Hon. J. P. McIntyre, Minister of Public Works, in a short talk ap- proved. of the organization and said that he believed that in the past the fishermen had suffered through lack of co-operative ef- fort. He mentioned the co-oper- ative lobster packing plants at Tlgnish which last season paid the fishermen $10.00 a hundred pounds for their lobsters. He pointed out that the larger unit the lower the overhead expenses as s. rule. and advocated the union of several of the smaller plants. The plants at Tignish found that 1'15 pounds of lobsters were suf- ficient to pack s. case but the ex- perience of almost all other fac- tories wss that it took 200 pounds. He didn't know why the differ- ence. Hon. Mr. McIntyre said, whether it was because the lob- sters were in better condition or whether it was due to better pack- ing methods. It made a consider- able dlfference, however, in the price that could be paid the fisher- men when the pack amounted to 1500 cases or more. Referring to the oyster industry the speaker said there is no doubt about it but that so far as the public beds are concerned the industry has been going back. There should not be so many small ones taken, but the fishermen do not seem to realize that it is in their interest to put back the small oysters.

Great Britain, it was said, must have time m adlust her policy and Mussolini would have a strong er position, since he will aotuahy hold territory and is expected to lay claim to it in my arrangement. Sanctions seem less formidable to the Italians the nearer they ap- proach. Published figures show that the Fascists probably can get much of what they need by increas- ing trade with nations that 1re not members of the League of Nations and those that are against sanc- tions. A "tightoning of the belt" is al- ready‘ underway. Racist officials are spreading the word to abolish luxuries live more simply and use
