Great Britain awaited an official statement of Italy's claims and charges against the African nation, but it learned unofficially Ii Duce would insist upon the protectorate.

The extraordinary session of the League of Nations Council to con- sider the dispute has been called for July 31 or Aug. 1.

Supporting the view that war- despite all Britain's and the Leo.- gue's efforts for peace-was imml.ll- ent were these developments today:

1. Ethiopia was authoritatively re- ported unwilling to revive the 1talo- Ethiopian commission, which broke up at Schcveningcn, the Nether- lands, over frontier questions. Italy proposed its revival in telegrams to Addls Ababa, Geneva and other cap- itals yesterday. but still insisted it could not treat the dispute as a whole.

2. The Stefarli (Italian) News Agency reported from Djibouti, French Somaliland, another “bloody encounter" between Ethiopians and native troops in British Somalilalld. Three British Somalis were killed, Steiani said, and asserted "grave repercussions" were feared.

Wheat Crop Affected’ By A. Stem Rust

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

wmmrm. July oil-wold deteriorration of the Western Can- ada wheat crop in both yield and grade during the past three weeks is shown today in the fourth gen- eral crop report of the Winnipeg Free Press.

Of major importance is the de- velopment of stem rust in Manl-

pr- ‘ ed spell of hiigh temperatures and hot winds, with continued drought in Western Saskatchewan and Southern Al- berta, combined to lower harvest prospects.

A personal survey of the rust infected territory revealed an area. of at least 4.500900 acres o! iously infested with stem rust. common or bread wheats now ser-

In Manitoba all wheat, or l,- 500,000 acres, is affected and 3,- 000,0000 acres in Eastern Sask- atchewan. This total is approxi- mately 20 per cent of Western Canada's seeded acreage.

Wheat crops this year were 10 days to two weeks later thna nor- mal. says the report, and the stem rust infection two weeks earlier than usual. Thus wheat was in a izlost vulnerable position and very susceptible to damage.

BITTER ATTACK

(By John Lloyd. Associated Press Foreign Staff) (A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

MOSCOW, July 26—The seventh Communist International cheered loudly atbitter attacks on German Nazis, Italian Fascists and Japan- ese milltarists today.

Wilhelm Pieck, German Com- munist leaclcr. accused the Nazis of preparing to waragainst Eur- ope's small democracies. He added:

"A defensive war by the nation- nl bllrgeoisie of those countries will bc n fair war in which Commun- ists must take part."

Picck bitterly assailed the Ital- ians for their policy in Africa and lashed out at the Japanese for their encroachment upon China.

Loud applause greeted his state- ment that the most important choice facing humanity today was that between Fascism and Com- munism. ‘

Communists will fight “for every inch of freedom that remains to the working classes" in the coun- tries governed by democratic par. liamentary principles, Pieok said lll lB-Ylng down the principle, new to Communism, that followers of Moscow should support bourgeois democracies. '

OSLO, Norway, July 26. - neon Trotsky broke his long silence today to predict a world war would .ollolv hfitilltles between Italy and Ethio- p . War in Africa, the old Russian revolutionist said, would do Just what the Balkan war of 1912 did- marshail the world's powers into op- posing coalitions arld prepare the ground for history to repeat itself.

"It is very difficult to prophesy." he told the Norwegian labor ilews- paper Arbeider Bladte. "but I be- lieve an eventual Italo-Ethiopian war is in the same relation to a new world war as the Balkan war of 1912 was to the great war of i914.

The famed exile, breaking tile sil- enoe he imposed upon himself when he camp to Norway recently to try to regain his health, also predicted war between Japan and Soviet Rus- sia within Lhe year,

“BY NO MEANS ENVIABLE"

"The position of Premier-Elect Walter M. Lea and his

followers is by no means

an enviable one, once the first

blush of so magnificent a victory has passed away. While there may not appear to be any great difference between no Opposition and an Opposition of one or two, it is not _the question of numbers that really matters. One of the greatest arguments of defenders of the democratic system has been the contention that the minority as well as the IIIZIJOIIIY has a voice in Parliament. THE OPPOSITION IS THE OFFICIAL VOICE OF THAT MINORITY, AND THE INTERESTS OF ALL ARE THEREBY ASSURED i'HE GREATEST POSSIBLE PROTECTION,

ment. It is true that an Probably one Councillm chosen by Premier- ____ , the Lieutenant-Gov ABKON. 0., July 25—Proiessor n. l lleffi 0f the Governm V. DeForest, member of the eight- l yze all legislation b

Such pro- will be followed, but at best it will be jnvestlggw m, cause o; m, 10,, 0g; of little consolation to the minority. Rightly or wrongly,

THEY WILL HOLD ANY SUCH VOICE SUSPECT.

VALUE OF OPPOSITION

“Pile value of an Opposition under the democratic system has not been in opposing legislation, but in bring- ing out in debate any actions of the Government that otherwise might be concealed; and to give support to the "moderates" in the Government in securing modifications

for any“ radical legislation.

“The Prince Edward Island vote has created ample opportunity for vigorous renewal of all arguments against the present electoral system, the existing form of govern- ment, and in fact the whole system as practiced by the democratic countries. While the defenders might contend that Tuesday’s election has given decisive answer i0 the opponents who hold democracy cannot produce strong governments in critical moments, the opponents might REPLY THAT DEMOCRACY HAS BEEN DESTROYED BECAUSE THE OPPOSITION HAS BEEN LOST.

"What remains to be seen is how such a situation will carry itself. Indeed, it may yet prove to be the beginning of major reforms in the legislative system of Canada. No positive answer to any “problems” it has created can be had until it has been practiced. Prince Edward Island will be able to give definite answer when it returns to the polls again, although it might safely be said right now that such a completely unanimous verdict in favor of any party ls not to be expected in that Province again for

some time.
