PARIS, Aug. Ill-Baron Pompeo Alolsi, head o! the Italian delega- tion to the tri-power conference. tonight informed the British rep- resentative, Anthony Eden, that Italy's minimum demand for peace- ful settlement of her dispute with Ethiopia. was occupation of Ethi- opia by the Italian crmy.

Aloisi said Premier Mussolini would require this condition in or- der to provide for the enforcement of economic privileges.

Italy, he said, would not be able to accept the British plan for ec- onomic concession in Ethiopia un- less Italy could make Ethiopia re- spent them. This, he said. would mean Italy must keep armed forces in the East African country.

Aloisl was induced to call on Eden. it was learned. by Premier Laval after the Italian had refused to visit the British diplomatsepar- ately on the eve of the scheduled conference between delegates of the Ifreneh, Italian and British governments tomorrow.

. .Affer...the meeting between the two, it was said in informed quar- ters their positions were as "irre- concilable" as before the meeting.

Premier Laval, convinced that peace in Africa and the political stability of Europe depend upon _hls efforts to get Britain and Italy to agree, talked with both Anthony Eden and Baron Pompeo Aloisi. But he found their viewpoints still widely divergent. .

Laval heard Aloisi reaffirm Ben- ito Mussolinrs determination to, have some sort of political control over Ethiopia.

British Stand Stressed

After one talk Eden returned again to the Quai d‘0rsay late ln the afternoon and messed that Britain is only prepared to consent, to Italy's economic penetration of the African Empire-not to a pol- itfcnl intervention.

Arguments presented to Laval by Alolsi for Italy's program included: Italy must protect its African col- onies against a "wild and danger- ous" nation (Ethiopia) by disarm- ing it; Italy must expand its col- onies u Great Britain and France have done: Italy is sorely in need of raw materials and must develop her own supplies.

The new floods occurred lust a few hours after the first train since July had completed the round trip from Edmontm to the end of the steel in Peace River district.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Iii-Tenn D. Rockefeller, Jr., today reported making a gift of more than 825,- 000,000 in oil securities less than a fortnight after President Roose- ve‘.t‘s "wealth tax" message.

The securities commission was told unnamed "individuals and charitable organizations" received 2,100,000 shares of Socony Vacuum Corporation common stock. This gift- made June 28, reduced Rnckefellers holdings in three major oil companies-Smarty. Standard of New Jersey and Standard of California—to $180,- 000,000.

The commission report gave no indication whether the famous financier made 'his gift at this time in expectation that Congress wwnuldavote. higher taxes on wealth. Contributions of this character usually take some time to plan and the program may have been arranged prior to the President's message.

The market value of the stock on June 28 was about $27,300,000 today. because of market declines. it is worth about $25,000,000.
