Report Euerilla campaign Likely Against Italians

(C. P.-Ilavu)

(By Guardian's bpcuai vvlrey

LONDON, July '7—R.eports from Djibouti that Ethiopian military leaders were poised for a guerrilla campaign against the Italian in- vaders were given some credence by Dr. W. C. Martin. Ethiopian Minister to Great Britain, in an interview today.

The reports came from the cor- respondent of the newspaper Dally Hereldat Djibouti. French Somali- land, who predicted the attacks would include, raids on Acidis Ab- aba and the dynamiting of the Ad- dis Ababa—D1iboutl Railway.

Dr. Martin said lack of inform- ation did not preclude the possi- bility of an attack in the near fu- ture by Ethiopian peasants in the regions about the railway.

He expressed certainty the west- ern Ethiopian government (said to be functioning at Gore) had not issued orders for such attacks.

Macmillan at the annual meeting of the East Prince County Association, held yatcrday afternoon in the Town Hall. Summcrsldc. ,

The mee" ,, at which there was a large and enthusiastic attend- ance, heard the provincial Cou- servative leader in a scathing re- buttal of allegations made in the local Liberal press that he had misrepresented the amounts H- celved under Conservative admin- istration in the course of his speech at 0'Lcary recently. The facts and figures were cited by the ripoakor in the course of a lengthy review of the political situation, in which the broken election pledges of the Campbell Government were anal- yzed and denounced.

The following amounts were cited by Dr. Macltilllan as having been obtained undq Conservative administration:

Unemployment projects. in- cluding highways — — $011,145 Direct relief — — — — — 55,184 Old age pensions — — — l12.i‘i'l Carnegie endowment grant 88,481 Carnegie library denion- . strationa — — — —- — 81.!“ Marine wharf repairs. Charlottetown — — — — 85.000 Driu shed, Charlottetown 12.000 Kensington Rifle Range — 15.000 Unemployment grunt ro- ceived by Hon. 1. P. Mc- Intyre from the Bennett Government — — — — 80.000

Total — — — — — — -81.344510“

Even without the grant received by Mr. Molntyre from the Bennett Government, Dr. MacMillan show- ed that his previous estimate of $1,200,000 of moneys received under Conservative rule was more than substantiated by the figures in the Public Accounts.

"The Liberal Conservatives of East Prince Conservative Associ- ation in annual meeting convened do hereby express our high appre- ciation of the services rendered. to Canada by our distinguished lead- er. Rt. Hon. R. 3. Bennett, the leader of His Majesty‘: loyal op-

"‘ in the Dominion Parlia- ment, and also congratulations to Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen. Con- servative leader in the senate_ on his efforts to safeguard the right of appeal to the Privy Council in connection with proposed changes in British North America Act and also in preventing a disastrous tariff war between the provinces by refusing to sanction the Liberal proposal to vest provincial govem- inenis with indirect taxation pow- as. "We further affirm our con- tinued confidence in the leadership of Hon. W. J. P. MacMi1larl.

treasury.

“We further deplore the fact that never in the history of our prov- ince have our public roads been in such a neglected condition."

Mr. Heath strong referred to the death during the past year of the Hon. W. M. Lea and moved that a letter of condolence be for- warded to Mr. Lee’: bereaved family. This was agreed to un- animously.

NEW TRADE sllluclulli FDR llill_ SEEN

‘Government Seeks To Reconstruct F o r - eign Trade System.

(A. P. Dy Guardian’: Special Wire) Rloll/IE, July 'l.—-A completely new international trade structure for It- aly was envisioned tonight by high Fascists. It was said authoritatively the

government was sending out special -

missions to other nations to seek new comm ' l accords.

Officials said the reconstruction of the nation's foreign trade system would be accomplished "without haste or preferences."

At the same time, they indicated the Italian government was in no hurry to accept an invitation to loin other Locarno treaty signatories in a conference concerning Germany's remilitarizatiou of the Rhineland and the possibilities for a new Eu:- opean peace structure.

(Italy declined a bid to the Dardanelles Conference at Mon- treux because League of Nations‘ sanctions were still in force against her.

Van Zeeland, it was said in Brussels. told Italy any date be. tween July 16 and 24 would be sat- isfactory.)

As for the nation's new foreign trade structure, two basic points were suggested:

1. Nations which desire to sell to Italy must buy from Italy;

2. Nations wishing to sell to Italy must not compete with products al- ready provided by Italian agricul- ture and industry.

Italy's position on these two last points was described by Virginia Gayda, illuthoritatlve editorial writ- er. as more sscum.t.han before the Italo-Ethiopian war with its consc- lillenb imposition of sanctions.

During the Ethiopian war Italians were told Premier Mussolini intend- ed to build up compensating mm. with non-sanctlonist states, friends Of Italy tried in the “sanctioni-.lt crucible.’ Women who still yearned for Paris gowns and men who pre- ferred British tweeds and tobgcgo Were told to forget them.

Developments in the European situation, it was learned, had cor.- vinosd ministers that the urgency of national defence must take preced- ence over all else. including all con- aiderations of balancing the budget.

with the country already facing a.u overdraft as a result of the le- arinament program, the army, navy and airforce win issue additional supplementary estimates Thursday.

The navy, which has had ample opportunity to review its theoretical amnsth of weakness during the Mediterranean crisis, may ask as much as £l0,000.000 extra, members of Parliament believed.

The airforce, already carrying out plans to triple its strength, in ex- pected to ask almost as much.

The army, attempting to reach a, high standard of mechanical and technical strength, may request be. tween £6,000,000 and £7,000,000,

The war office announced 17 units of territorial infantry (the home guard) were being converted into anti-aircraft batteries to de- fend. thei ndustrlaiized mildlands and north.

The announcement said:
