GENEVA, April 20—The League of Nations admittedly was in peril tonight because of its failure to set- tle the Italo-Ethiopian war.

Anthony Eden, foreign secretary of Great Britain, issued two warn- ings as a result. The first was that unless nations are prepared to take combined action against an aggres- sor now they must not expect help from Britain if they get themselves into dimcultics later. By aggressor Eden meant Italy,

His second warninﬁ was that un- less nations fulfill their duty oi col- lective security Britain may lose her faith hr the value oi the League ‘ and turn to other methods of safe- guarding her interests. This was taken as a. hint that Britain may one day abandon the League.

Western Liberals Foresee Trouble In Government Scheme Of Temporary Em- ployment.

(C. I’. By Guardian‘; Special Wire)

OTTAWA, April 20-subsidizing farmers to employ men from relief rolls will be considered by the gov- ernment on some sort of a national front, Labor Minister Rogers prom- ised in the House of Commons to- day.

The House reconvened after a 12-day Easter recess, discussing the government's general relief bill in committee stage. The Labor Min- ister was urged from all sides to extend the farm placement scheme to all provinces to take care of single, homelm men after the re- lief camps are closed permanently. Ten thousand men from the camps will work on mainviennnce jobs for the two railway systems

Six Months Employment

The men. Mr. Rogers said, will be at work five or six months and will be expected to save enough money to keep them through the winter.

This did not suit two Western Liberals. Gerry McGeer (Vancouv- er-Burrard) and W. A. Tucker (Rosthern). They agreed some more permanent policy was needed, par- ticularly next winter when the summer work is ended and the re- lief camps closed.

The Vancouver Mayor predicted the men would flock into big cities creating a situation “of grave and serious concern for the peace, order and good government of the cities and the security and liberty of the residents oi those cities.” The Saskatchewan Liberal referred to possible riots.

Frantic Calls Underground As. Miners Wage Grim Heroic Battle.

By E. L. Williams, Canadian Press Staff Writer

MOOSE RIVER, N. S., April 21.—-(Tues-— daY)—An -appeal for six experienced miners, unmarried and willing to risk their lives, went out from Moose River gold mine early today as weary volunteers attempting to free two entornbed Toronto men collapsed from ex- haustion.

_ Rescue workers were confident of get- ting Dr. D. E. Robertson and Alfred Scadding out alive from the black pit where they had been trapped by a c_ave-in April 12 but fresh men were needed in a dangerous shaf t

through which they had been tunnelling for 24 hours.

PROGRESS EXTREMELY SLOW

“PI‘0gress in the last few hours has been extremely slow. They have asked for fresh men,” said H. F. Gordon, Stellarton engineer in charge of the underground work, Sileziking to Charles Ivey, a brother-in-law of Dr. Robert- S0ll.“and Dr. Gallle of Toronto, a close friend of the family.

Will it ‘be dawn?” asked Ivey, haggard and worn from days of anxious waiting. His was the task of trying to keep up the courage of Mrs. Robertson, who had been at the mine for_ days, refusing to leave her quarters in the com- pany offrce for the comfort of a hotel in Halifax.

There seemed to be some dcvub then as to whether the entom men really heard the rescuers ap- proaching them. The attencliml heard the two men talking to and another;
