IMPERIAL EITH£IAN HEAD- QUARTERS, Dessye. Ethiopia, Dec. s-Emperor I-laile Selassie, a close adviser said today, will leave Des- sye within a few days, either go- ing overland to the north or fly- ing back to Addis Abe-bu.

In any case, it was learned, he will not proceed more than 50 miles toward the northern battle front, probably going to Magdala to meet his three northern commanders.

'- (Magdala is about 40 miles north- ‘west of Dessye, arid something less ‘than 150 miles due south of Makale, where the Italian front lines are lo- bated).

= It is believed the length of the ‘Emperor's stay ln Northern Ethi- opia would depend on whether the Italians attempt to renew their oi- fcnsive in ‘rlgre Province.

' "I cannot tell you how happy i. "am at the opportunity of seeing my Qioldlers in the fleld," he declared oday.

OTTAWA, Dec. ir-Thc Pbderal Government today found itself the centre of an international and domestic storm over its week-end repudiation of the suggestion of its Geneva spokesman, Dr. W. A. Riddeil, to add oil, coal, iron and steel to the list of economic sanc- tions against Italy.

Throughout the day the de- partment of external affairs was kept busy checking the foreign and Canadian reactions to the statement of Hon. Ernest LaPolnto acting Prime Minister, to the cf- fect that Dr. Riddell. in proposing the addition of oil tothe sanc- tions llst, had been expressing only his personal opinion, and not the vlew of the Government-

From diplomatic circles in Eur- ope came a uniform expression of a azemcnt, while in anti-British circles abroad the sentiment was one of uncoricealed gratification. It was seized upon as indication that the British Government, in its desire to have oil added to the

ethos list. was not SHPPOIWI by the Dominions. More than that, the Canadian

attitude on the oil question was construed as disclosing a wide open breach in the hitherto un- broken front whcih the Empire has maintained at Geneva. On the principle that the inclusion oi 011 among the exports prohibited to Italy had become a central feature of the policy of the British Gov- ernment, Canada's reservation was viewed as indicating that the Mother Country and the senior Dominion might be at the parting ways in regard to foreign policy.

Breaks Across Canada

AUTO ACCIDENT-On Tuesday afternoon Mrs.

Summerslde. were driving to Charlottetown to visit s. relative, m. Austin Hyde, in the Prince Edward Island Hos- pital. At Bagnalrs Corner on the new highway their car skidded on the dippery turn and turned turtle. All three occupants were badly shaken up. Mr. F. J. E. Wright, of Summerside, who came along shortly afterward, drove them to the hospital.

Miss Peggy Hobbs left yesterday morning on an extended visit to Montreal and Boston.

, Rev. W. L. Outhouse, pastor of the Central Christian Church, has been confined to his bed with a sore throat for the pest few_dsys.

Misses Vilma, Jean, Marie, and. Master Louis Martin, the children of Mr. and Mrs. P. J. Martin of Hunter River, returned home yea- terday from the P. E. Island Hos- pital after having had their ton- slls and adenolds removed. The children, whocame to town Sun- day. are loud in their praise of the kindness received during their short stay and left with only pleasant memories of their hos- pital experience.

Throughout Canada. the repud-

iation of Dr. Riddeli evoked a storln which out rudely across traditional partyiines. Although the ministry was officially silent on the subject, it was known that the number of protests received from points west and east of Que- bec Province was substantial. Two groups in the country made com- mon cause in the controversy, headless of party affiliations. They were the overwhelming majority of English-speaking Canadians who believe lmpllcity in-a united Empire front, and the other large body of federal opinion which. while subscribing to the latter sentiment, also stands sincerely for the upholding of the League of Nation and all that the Covenant involves. Only in Quebec Province was the ministry's statement said to have been received with any de- gree of approval. In that respect it fulfilled the purpose for which it was issued, as it was addressed primarily to French-speaking Canada‘.

Dr. Riddell Iii/d placed the Gov- ernment in an awkward position with its habitant supporters, who had returned 8t Liberals out of 65 members in the House of Com- mons. Loss than six weeks ago the French-Canadians had been urg- ed to vote for the Liberal party on the grounds that if the Con- servatives were returned they might. in their zeal for British connection. lead the Dominion in- to war. The French-Canadians so voted and almost immediately afterwards found the Canadian lepresentative at Geneva, literally

0n the theorgflthat Dr. Riddell was serving u tioh agent, Can- ada's repudiation of his action is conceded in Ottawa to assume a significance and to create o. sit- uatlon almost unique in Imperial history. It is this feature of the controversy which is exacting the curiousity and even the protests of staunch Imperialists throughout the Dominion.

So far as the League of Nations is concerned, the repudiation is viewed by its supporters as a "hedging" on the port of the Gov- ernment with respect to its oblig-

arlt. More and more the sentiment is being heard around Parliament Hill that if Canada intends to be in the League of Nations she should support it. and that if she docs not she should brperfectly frank and abandon it.
