If his advice had been accepted in the Commons in 1918, Sonata: Duff said. settlement would have been made with Canadian ship- Ylrds for pending construction of vessels at a figure between $5,000,. 000 or I10 000,000 and approximate- LV $130,000,000 would have been saved the federal treasury.

Handsome Profits

The new owners would make handsome profits which would re- turn them the purchase in one year. Senator Bailsntyne said. Es- tablishment of the Merchant Mar- Inc had been endorsed unanimously by Liberals a.nd Conservatives as a war measure when he was Minister of Marine, he said.

The agreement between the gov- ernment snd the purchasers for the sale of the 10 ships was less favorable on analysis than it first Rppeared. Senator Ballantyne con- tinued. “I am very much surprised the government should make a sale of this magnitude by order-iii. council after so much condemna- tion of the previous government for CIHVXHR on by order-in-council."

0i>er-flns Profits

Profits from their operation dur- ing the first three months of the year were 878,000 and it had been intimated the figure might reach $300,000 when all returns were available, he continued. The Mont- real Senator said the sale agree- ment dld not support the official statement on the sale of the boats and a regular service was not being assured.

Canadian trade had not suf. fared hi’ the previous disposal of vessels of the fleet and there would be no suffering as the result of this sale, Senator Duff maintained. Policy of both Liberal and Con- servative governments in the past 10 Years had been to dispose of the vessels.

From 1930 to 1935 the Conserv- ative administration had sold 30 of the ships at a. smaller price than was realized from the recent sale. Original cost of the 80 vessels, with additions and improvements. to- talled 370,000,000, Senator Duff said. but the sale price was only 8100.000. Operating deficits of the Merchant Marine since its incep- tion aggregated 011.000.4100.

MONTREAL, May 6——Canada's transportation requirements “need not continue their present drain on the public purse if a sound solution" to the problem is adopted. Sir Ed- ward Beatty told shareholders of Canadian Pacific Railway Company in his presidential address today.

Solution to the problem. which. he said could be made through “placing operation of the two Can- iidlsn systems under a unified man- agement," would increase business confidence and assist the govern- ment towsrds balancing its budget.

But pending adoption of some such plan the company would con- tinue to operate with the “greatest economy consistent with maintain- ing iis position."

Italian Troops Restore Order In Addis Ababa

_ Stroll arena in Addie Alisha

(By Andrue Berding, Associated Press Foreign Staff) (A. P. By Guardian’s Special Wire)

ROME. May 6-—Italy will present a rigid program of “Ethiopia for Italy” and as for Geneva, “hands off," at a meeting of the League of Nations Council Monday, well in-

formed sources said tonight.

This position was adopted following Premier Musso- lini’s declaration yesterday that “Ethiopia is Italian” and the appointment today of Giuseppe Bottai, former governor

of Rome, as civil governor of Addis Ababa.

Fascist sources said Italy would refuse to accept ideas expressed in leading French newspapers that Ethiopia is still a member of the League, that France's special claims must be respected in Ethiopia and that a “moderate solu-

tion” would be best internationally.

Lost Guarantees?

Moreover, it was strongly hinted that Great Britain, and France. who previously had zones of Ethi- opian influence guaranteed them, had lost their guarantees by virtue of their opposition to Italy.

As Fascists continued to celebrate dellriously the occupation of the Ethiopian empires capital, 20,000 students marched to the qulrinlal palace of King Victor Emmanuel and shouted "Emperor! Emperor!" time and again.

ADDIS ABABA, May 6-—Italian troops mapped up the last Elhi-V opian bandits ham-issing the sub-l jugated capital today and turncdl their attention to clearing bodies, and debris from the streets. '

Details of soldiers opened the way for columns of heavy mic-ks, Calm‘ apparently was restored throughout the capital.

Tired but smiling. Italian of- ficers, after running up the tri- color over the abandoned Imperial Palace of Emperor‘ Hallo Selassie, went to an hotel to rest.

Marshal Pietro Badoglio. coni- mander-in-chlef of the Italian forces, in a statement to foreign newspapermen said the labors of peace would be “quite as arduous as those required for war.“
