GENEVA. Jan. 20—_iA. P.)-—The League of Nations Council met in

~ a. long-awaited session today but

made no move to settle the Italo- Ethlopian war.

Despite a new protest from Eth- "lopia for aid, the Council rejected a pies from Emperor Hallo Selassie to send a commission of inquiry to the war zone and to give the Elmpire financial aid.

Baron Pompeo Aloisl, the Ital- ian delegate. attended in the Council session but was silent.’

One Italian said: “Italy herself will arrange the Ethiopian ques- tion. We shall not accept any League-imposed peace."

The Emperor asked for new eco- nomic sanctions against Italy and for funds. The committee of 13— ‘which is the council without Italy and Ethiopia-turned down his financial request on the ground that the League convention pro- "vlding for financial aid for the ‘victim of aggression has never gone into force.

. It characterized as tune" the Negus’ request commission of inquiry. ..Ethiopla’s request for stronger sanctions was turned over to the committee of 19, which meets Wednesday to discuss the general sanctions situation. This group was created to handle all sanctions.

It. was believed the committee will appoint experts to determine the effect of existing sanctions and whether a boycott oi oil, coal, Lron and steel could usefully come into force and hasten the end of

Iii-Canada at the present time the revival oi interest in the breeding of horses is on, of the moot striking of the many activities of the Iibminion in live stock pro- duction. There should be no ques- tion u to the necessity for this in- creased activity. There is a short- lle cfdraft horsesnot only in Canlda but in the United States and Great Britain and it takes at least five years to produce and raise a hmse to the age oi four years. ‘Alootlleaunualwastsgeof horses in the Dominion clue to disease, old age, and other natural causes. is very considerable.

While thg number of horses on farms in June, 1885. showed an in- crease over that of June. 1984. it has taken the increased-product‘ of colts in 193s and 1934 to reach the point where tho annual in- crease exceeds the llaérrral wastage of mature animals. At the same time, it must be remembered that the colts oi i984 and 1985 will not enter the ranks of the four-year- oid work horses until 1928 and 1999, while the annual wastage goes on all the time.

In appreciation of the situation. the Dominion Department oi Agri- culture has continued its Policies for horse improvement, and breed- ers in increasing numbers are

availing themselves of this means of assistance. The Clubbing Policy, for example, which is effective in the Prairie Provinces. makes it possible for communities of fann- ers to secure the services of the best stallions available and retain them in the district from year to year, thus fostering community breeding and co-operstive effort. The Dominion Department of A8- riculturc on its part makes a grant’ to organized horse-breeding clubs of 50 pol- cent of one-quarter of the service fee for each mare prov- ing to be in fo‘ai. In 1935 there were 206 such clubs in operation.

Under the Dominion-Provincial Premium Policy, effective in the provinces of Eastern Canada, in British Columbia, and in Saskatch- ewan, the Dominion Department of Agriculture and the Provincial De- partments concerned join on a fifty-fifty basis in inspecting atel- lions and paying an annual 911m‘ ium to the owners of approved 1'68- istered stallions, based on the number of mares left in foal. In 1935 the owners of 539 stallions were eligible for the premium. _ ‘Ib encourage the production of saddle horses, hunters, and horses suitable for remolult. 9°11“. ind light delivery owners. an annual grant is made by the Dcminififl Department. of Agriculture under the Breeding station Policy to the proprietor of a stallion who owns or controls at least three thorough- bred stallions of hunter type. and the services of which are available for mam of the district served by the station. Nine such stations operate across Canada, and in each or m, past three years Canadian station-bred horses have been pur- chased by the Governments of ‘Ih-inidad and Barbados where the animals have proven highly 58W- gutory in constabulary work. Taken all in all, the present out- look for the horse Breeder in Can- ada is very promising. and the raising of good horses should be a sound and profitable business I01‘ years to come.

Eighty Per Cent Incolne Roumania From Farming

Eighty per cent of the income of the people of Roumania is derived from agriculture so that crop conditions have a very great bear- ing on national finances Poor crops and falling prices in re- cent years have seriously affected the national finances oi Roumania but the prospects for the 1986 sea- son are favourable. In 1934 Great Britain replaced Germany as the chief source of supply for imports, a position Germany held ‘ for a number oi years by a. large margin. For the first seven months of i935. however, imports from Germany were double those from Great Britain for the same period the year previous. During this period, im- ports from the United States drop- per from 996.6 to 170.1 million lei. Canada supplies a comparative- ly small share of the market, most- ly automobiles and rubber tires. Germany takes the greater quantity of Roumanian exports. followed by Great Britain. France, Austria, Italy, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Egypt, Holland, Greece, Belgium. Poland, the principal countries buy- lng Roumanian goods, according to the Industrial Department of the Canadian National Railways.

Though fin results are not available, it is now known from the preliminary results that a. com- parison of the observations of 1926 and 1933, as was indeed expected. will not show definite evidence of any movement. This does not neces- sarily mean that a drift does not exist, but only that it is not large enough to definitely show itself in the seven lnterveing years .The un- avoidable errors entering into even the best observations would be just about sufficient to mask a displace- ment of the two or three feet a year that has been suggested.
