(B! The Canadian Press) (B! Guardian's special Wire)

A definite step in the tangled IWWmhWDlan controversy was like" Yfiterday at Geneva with the appointment by the League of Nations Council of a five-power committee to consider the dispute.

Italy abstained from voting as

Premier Mussolini fin- ally withdrew his insistence that Italy should be rwmcenfcd if Brit- ain and France were. So long as the reprercntativea of Ethiopia, not a member of the council, were not present, the Italian deiegan at- tended yesterdays Inlguc sessions. The Ethiopians were invited to at- tend when their country was under discussion. The r rnaticnal Federation of Trades Unions at Geneva called up- on the League to curb "Italy's ag- gressive attitude" and apply sanc- tions in the event of war.

Emperor Hails Selassie in Addia Ababa appealed again to the league to preserve peace. Indian troops moved into the capital to guard the British lcgstion.

The seml-offical Azicne Colonials in I-‘wmc hinted Italy might cle- mand Britain's exclusion from Elypt if she continued to consider Italy a threat to her in Africa. In- formed quarters in Rome believed a thrice-power con erenoc between Italy, Britain and France on the Ethiopian situation likely.

Government quarters in London were cheered by appointment of the five-power committee and by prospects of a tri-power conference in northern Italy. ‘The Times ‘said anti-Britirh and pro-Italian bulle- tins were being diztribuoed in Egypt by what purported to be an Egyptian news agency.

Settlement Of Italo- Ethiopian Crisis By Arbitration Is Sought.

By George Harnblcinn

Canadian Press Staff Writer, (C.P. by Guardian's Special Wire)’

GENEVA, Sept. 6—(C.P. Cable) -The League of Nations is mov- lng ahead. Tonight, after a day of feverish private negotiations, the council unanimously Italy alone formally abstaining-ap- pointed a committee of concilia- tion in the threatened [talc-Eth- iopian war.

The committee consists of Great Brita-in, France. Poland. Spain and Turkey. It is proceeding with- out delay under article l5 of the covenant, calling for submission oi’ disputes to arbitration, and will rclport its findings to the Council.

The primary purpose of the com- mittee is peaceful settlement. Not until all methods of conciliation arc exhausisd and one of the parties goes to war in defiance of

the Covenant, does the question of sanctions arise. Immediately the council ad-

journed the committee met and appointed Salvador do Madarlaga of Spain as its chairman. The committee meets again tomorrow to continue.

"Musical Chairs"

' The otherwise placid public ses- sion of the Council was again en- livened by the Italians, who earn- estly continued their game of "musical chairs.” The formal ag- enda was confined to routine bus- iness. When the Ethiopians how- ever were invited to the table Baron Pompeo Aloisi, chief Italian delegate, promptly arose from his seat and followed by the Italian delegation ostentatlously left the chamber.

The Italian positon is that Eth- iopia has outlawed herself by the retention of barbarism and slavery, and is not entitled to be treated as an equal by civilized states. Therefore, while remaining in the League usual on other inns are there, When the counci ltalo-Ethiopian problem, sumed his seat at the table.

OTTAWA, Sept. 6—(C.P.)—In peace and in war the Conservative Party stood for Canadian rights and against economic aggression of any foreign power, but Canadians‘, would not be “embroiled in any foreign quarrel where the E rights of Canadians are not involved,” Prime Minister Ben- l neit declared here tonight.

Opening his general election campaign with the first of a series of addresses broadcast over a national radio‘ hook- up Mr. Bennett said: “We are conscious of a dangerous international situirtion,” but in world politics Canada should be secure “for she has no ambitions which peace cannot gratify," v

“If trouble cornea it will be somcbody's she's fault-not ours," said‘ Mr. Bennett. "And l conceive it to be the solemn duty of government, by all lust and honorable means. to ace that Canada is kept out of rottblc. Vgxvgrsigeegought and paid for security and for peace, and we neon to

Mr. Bennett scored the free trade policies of the Liberal ,_.srty and warned his listeners that Mr. Mackenzie King came aa leader of a party once great but “whose greatneu was nurtured by an economic staid of things to which we have said good-bye." While ready and willing to trade with any country that would trade on even terms, he declared, his government would never abandon protection so long as the nations of

World economic conditions had not showed great signs of pennan- ent improvement but Canada had fared as well as others or better. Mr. Bennett suggested as problems requiring immediate attention im- provement of agriculture and in- dustry, decreasing debt, restoring the labor market to soundness. re- moval of uniuat and unnatural in- equalities, better utilization of mt- tural resources, better distribution of the products of agriculture and industry, and strengthening of con- federation, “so increasing our power to work together to achieve these purposes."

The speech of the Prime Min- later closed with an announcement of the fixing of the minimum price of No. 1 Northern wheat at Fort William at 87 1-2 cents a bushel. The action. he said, had been taken today by the governor- in-council following a recommen- dation of the Canadian wheat board.

The price fixed will be effective throughout the current crop year. which will be until July, 1930.

OTTAWA. Sept. d-Acting upon the recommendation of the Canad- ian Wheat Board the Governor-in- Council today fixed the minimum price of No. i northern wheat at Fort William at Eli/u cents a bushel.

Cabinet Council held a late ses- sion this afternoon and approved the price which will be effective throughout the current crop year, that is until July 1836. Announce- ment of the price was contained in Prime Minister Bennett's radio broadcast tonight.

fixed price is in acocrdance with the statute adopted at the last ses- slon of Parliament creating the Wheat Board and its advisory com- mittee and giving it power to buy wheat from producers at the fixed minimum price, so that, the pro- ducer need not dispose of his wheat at a lower figure.

Producers who sell direct to the Wheat Board will receive participa- tion certificates entitling them to share in any surplus that may arise from the operations of the Board.

In this connection the Prime Minister stated tonight the Canad- ian Wheat Board hopes to have its organization ready to function in the matter of accepting any paying for delivery in about 10 days.

In tho meantime farmers deliver- ing wheat tothc Board would take storage certificates from elevator companies which would later be ex- changed for cash tickets on the basis of the fixed minimum price, and participation certificates.

‘Thirty years have seen wide fluctuations in wheat prices. The lowest yearly average price reached was in the crop year 1932-33. It was 54.3 cents a bushel in Winnipeg for number one northern (Fort Wil- liam-Port Arthur basis). The high- est average was in 1019-20 when the initial fixed price was $2.15 and participating certificates brought the total price up to 02.03. They were under the control of the Board of OraInSupei-visora. Up to 192i the crop year ended Aug. 31. Aft-r that data the year ended July 81
