It stated the Italians knew the exact‘ location oi an American hos- pital in Dessye which they said ivas bombed and that the site was marked by a large American flag and a red cross.

hioplan officials, commenting upon the reported Anglo-French peace plan, said:

Would Revolt

ADDIS ABABA, Dec. 11-(0. P. Reveal-Ethiopia's armies will 1e- volt if Emperor Hallo Selassie ao- cepts the Anglo-French peace plan providing "exchange oi territories" between Italy and Ethiopia, in- formed sources said tonight.

The Negus Negusti already has decided in any case against accept- ance oi the plan, it is understood.

(A Haves dispatch from London Tuesday reported that Ethiopia. already had announced its rejec- tion of the plan to the British Government).

Strong in their faith they can repel the invader, and elated by their conviction that Italy l0 for has won no major battle, Eth- iopia's armies were believed ready to revolt against Selassie and drive him from hie throne ii he should capltulate to Premier Mussolini now.

The Emperor's military leaders. it was believed, were demanding that the Italians be thrown beck to their own‘ colonies and were standing adamant against any ter- ritorial concessions.

Emperor Hallo Selassie still we: at Deseye tonight. It was presumed the text of the Anglo-French pro- posals. which was in the hands of the British and French ministers in Addie Abate.‘ either would. be flown to him by plane within the

Several large trees for department stores and C hrietin as entertainments were among the recent shipments, for which. it is claimed, tempting prices will be paid at their destina- tion.

Admiral Osamu Nageno. head oi the Oriental delegation, said e. total tonnage basis for the three biggest sea powers should be fixed "as low as possible."

A French delegate, Jacques Stern, it was understood, told Ad- miral Nagano that naval strateg- ists feel approval oi Japanh de- mandll would give Tokyo unques- tioned naval supremacy in the Far East. leaving the interests of other nations there at- the mercy oi the Japanese.

The three-day-old conference thus faces at its outset a. supreme test oi its ability to find a form- ula permitting nations to continue along the road to naval limitation, begun in 1922 with the Washing- ton five-power treaty.

May Operate Service By Next Year

Amoclated Press Staff Writer

(By Guardian's Special Wire) WASHINGTON, D90. lL-Rcpre- lentativee of four gov... mente com.- blned today to remove one of the principal obstacles to early 111M181!!- ation of regular transatlantic air

service for passengers and mail. British, United States, Irish and Canadian oillclale agreed in prin- ciple to extend reciprocal landing‘

and ("printing privileges in their

countries for such service. Ind It wa- indicated that experimental Ilylng might. start next Spring. Pun-American Air Lines and Bri- tish Imperial Airways, Ltd, are un- derstood behave worked out. ar- rangements for Joint establishment oi such n. service. They were said to plan to use flying boats of the type of the "Chlna Clipper.” new in eervlce on the ‘Ii-ans Pacific run. A few hours before the agreement wa sreached President Roosevelt told Sir Donald Banks, Director- General of the British Post Oillce and a participant in today's meet- ing, that he hoped regular trans- Atlantic air postal service soon would be a. reality.

“The President said he had every hope that before long we will see the trans-Atlantic flights commen- ced." Sir Donald told reporters. "He said he hoped to see the United States and the other counti-ies—1r- lsh Free State, Canada and Great Btltain—all working together on it." The agreement on landing facili- ties capped more than a week oi conferences of the visiting officials and the United States inter-depart- mental committee on international aviation.

Up until now, the British Govern- ment has refused landing facilities to foreign planes in Bermuda, which would be one of the main way ata- tlons on the proposed new route. Today's agreement, it is understood. will make available in the British company landing facilities in the United States and to the American Company landing facilities not only in Bermuda but. also in Canada. Ire- land and Great Britain.
