Council meets at Geneva to thresh out the Italo-Ethiopian trouble, and barring some miraculous tri- umph of diplomacy, take up a British demand to vote full sanc- tions against an aggressor llation.

Units Chosen

The troops will consist of royal artillery, royal engineer and royal signal-corps units. They are being sent to Malta, the War Office stated, because "it is the intention to bring the fixed defences of Malta up to the establishment ap- proved last year!’ -

The Neuralia. which is under contract to the War Office. has been released from. her summer cruise season only recently. She now is being provisioned with her officers allowed only 24 hours leave instead of the usual six weeks. Hera and elsewhere there was widespread evidence that no na- tion in Europe. Africa. or the Near East is free from grave concern and uncertainty over the quarrel between Italy and Ethiopia. Only one full week remains before the fateful League Council (meeting called to consider the dispute. The meetings prior to the vital League meeting will begin Tuesday at Oslo, Norway, where the Nor- wegian Premier will meet with Premiers of Finland. Denmark and Sweden to determine a united Scandinavian front at Geneva.

Whitehall Deserted

Whitehall, the scene of dramatic activity last week when the cabin- et met in special session to con- sider its course. was wrapped in Sunday calm today.

MCIHbGIn of Parliament already were freely discussing the possi- bility of summoning Parliament earlier than Oct. 29. It was under- stood the cabinet discussed that matter at its emergency session and that arrangements were made for such a step if it is necessary. United States Senator James Pope, in England to obtain infor- mation concerning the Itaio-Ethi- opian situation, conferred with Sir Norman Angeli. leading British peace advocate today, and further explained his views on the dispute. He said he favored “full util- ization" of both the league of Na- tions and the world court "for the purpose of removing the causes of war. settling disputes by peaceful means and for stopping wars, if possible, after they are started."

Religious View

VIENNA, Aug. 25-Amidst the wave of pro-Italian sentiment which has swept. the Austrian press

ed today by an article in the semi- official Catholic Relchspost point- ing out what it described as the peril to Catholic foreign missions if war begins in Ethiopia.

The article. believed by some to have been inspired by the Vatican, declared:

"If it comes to War in Ethiopia it will be a catastrophe for the further development of Catholic missions-even more so in Asia than in Africa.

"Anglo-Saxon Protestantism in Europe and America is whole- heartedly on the Ethiopian side, a fact which will prevent the colored races from revolting against the British Empire.

“But the Catholic situation is quite different. Italy is not only a Catholic country, with Catholicism its official religion. Rome harbors both Italy's government and the head of the Catholic Church.

"It. will be difficult to explain to the Asian rice farmer and the African goatherd the peculiar status of Vatican City."

The article also suggests that Islam is waiting only a pretext to crush Christianity in Africa.

Firm Stand

LONDON, Aug. 28--(Monday)- The Daily Mail published an in‘- tervicw lcday with Premier Mus- solini in Rome in which he was quoted as saying "it should m realized without the possibility of misunderstanding that whoever applies sanctions against Italy will be met by the armed hostility of our country."

Asked for his advice lo other European nations for the best method of sustaining general peace. the newspaper's interviewer said Mussolini replied that. other na- tions “should follow the example of the United States and leave us alone to fulfill our mission.”

(The British cabinet was report- cd last weak to have decided to support sanctions against Italy if all members of the League of Nations Council at the meeting Sept. 4 agree to such a. move as an attempt to preserve peace in East Africa.)

"I all send a delegation to the Leagu Council Scpt. 4 for the pur- pose of putting Italy's case clearly before the world," Mussolini said ln the interview.

“Our cause will be supported by documents and photographs. I shall even send a case of books, includ- ing one by Lady Simon, denouncing the barbarlc slave-owning habits of the Ethiopians. And when the Council has considered this evidence I shall challenge the League to twat Itafy as being on the same footing as Ethiopia if it, can."

The newspaper reported that the Premier, speaking in the calm de- cisive tones of one Jwho cannot be deterred." told the interviewer:

"If the League of Nations were so reckless as to expand n remote col- onial campaign into a general Eur- opean war which would open wide the door to every unsatisfied am- bition on the continent, even throughout the world-and this time it would cost, not millions but tens of millions oi lives-then the guilt would rest upon the League."

Qontlnulna. Mussolini said "the task of colonizing and civliizlllg Ethiopia will provide work ior the Italian people for the next so years at least.

"As soon as we are allowed to de-

vote ourselvea to this immense nll- dertaldns we shall be associates, not antagonists, of the British Em- illffi. bound by reciprocal respect of Italian interests by Britain and a like feeling for the British Empire by Italy." Pointing out that Italy had a population of about 40.000000 per- sons living i a territory half as blg l“ "in". asoiinl was quoted as saying that Ethiopia is three times 5.! llrlfl I; Italy and eonta‘ great tracts of land suitable for Italian settlemant.

Anne Lindberg Tells of Spill In Muddy River

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.—(A.P.) — “ ‘And for three weeks.’ I thought. ‘I've been brushing my teeth in boiled water.‘ "

This was the first reaction of Anne Morrow Lindbergh to the spill which almost changed Amer- ica's Public Hero No. l and his wife into muddy corpses floating down the flooded Yangtze river in China. Mrs. Lindbergh tells the story of her 1931 flight to China with her famous husband in “North to the Orient." her first book just pub- lished.

Before China was reached there had been adventures with her radio sending and receiving set, nights spent in isolated Canadian cabins or anchored of’! odd bits of Alaskan 008st. visits to Ruslan homes, a dangerous forced landing in the JB-Dllnfle BNhlPBIB-EO, and an ad- venture near Nankirlg when an er- rand of mercy almost sacrificed the Colonel and two doctor companions to sullen Chinese flood sufferers.

The spill was at I-Iangkow, where the British plane carrier "Hermes" had arranged an emergency hoist- ing apparatus and had taken the Lindbzrghs "Sirius" aboard to pm_ tect it from the flooded Yangtze, and marauders who might be afloat 011 ll-i b0lling yellow surface.

There was not enough slack to detach the plane from the derrick rope when it was retumed to the water.

“My husband, opening the throt- tle. tried to wonk back upstream. But the plane had already swung in the wind sidewlse to the current . . . Out of control. Current pulled against cable . . . Down went the wing . too, that large flat surface stem- ming the stream, forcing us over.

" ‘Better get ready to jump!’ my husbands voice shot at me tersely from the front. cockpit. I climbed out . , .

“Jump!

“I looked down into the muddy current. In that fleeting second . . I thought only, with incon- gruous complacancy. ‘Now 1 will find out how this new life preserv- er works . . . "

"For not only did I have no fear, I had no sensation at all-no real- izing of going under water or of getting wet or of my clothes being heavy to swim in, or even that the life preserver had not worked. Quite typically I had not‘ pressed the lever far enough.

“It did not matter. I had come up and was swimming along easily with yards of deflated life preserver dragging after me . . . I saw my husband just behind . . . We were swept downstream to the lifeboat, where we climbed on board and wiped our faces. I coughed up some Yangtze water."

And then thought about th tooth-brushing matter. .
