Handsome Profits The new owners would make handsome profits which would re- turn them the purchase in one year. Senator Bailsntyne said. Es- tablishment of the Merchant Mar- Inc had been endorsed unanimously by Liberals a.nd Conservatives as a war measure when he was Minister of Marine, he said. The agreement between the gov- ernment snd the purchasers for the sale of the 10 ships was less favorable on analysis than it first Rppeared. Senator Ballantyne con- tinued. “I am very much surprised the government should make a sale of this magnitude by order-iii. council after so much condemna- tion of the previous government for CIHVXHR on by order-in-council." 0i>er-flns Profits Profits from their operation dur- ing the first three months of the year were 878,000 and it had been intimated the figure might reach $300,000 when all returns were available, he continued. The Mont- real Senator said the sale agree- ment dld not support the official statement on the sale of the boats and a regular service was not being assured. Canadian trade had not suf. fared hi’ the previous disposal of vessels of the fleet and there would be no suffering as the result of this sale, Senator Duff maintained. Policy of both Liberal and Con- servative governments in the past 10 Years had been to dispose of the vessels. From 1930 to 1935 the Conserv- ative administration had sold 30 of the ships at a. smaller price than was realized from the recent sale. Original cost of the 80 vessels, with additions and improvements. to- talled 370,000,000, Senator Duff said. but the sale price was only 8100.000.

May 6-—Italy will present a rigid program of “Ethiopia for Italy” and as for Geneva, “hands off," at a meeting of the League of Nations Council Monday, well in- formed sources said tonight. This position was adopted following Premier Musso- lini’s declaration yesterday that “Ethiopia is Italian” and the appointment today of Giuseppe Bottai, former governor of Rome, as civil governor of Addis Ababa. Fascist sources said Italy would refuse to accept ideas expressed in leading French newspapers that Ethiopia is still a member of the League, that France's special claims must be respected in Ethiopia and that a “moderate solu- tion” would be best internationally. Lost Guarantees? Moreover, it was strongly hinted that Great Britain, and France. who previously had zones of Ethi- opian influence guaranteed them, had lost their guarantees by virtue of their opposition to Italy. As Fascists continued to celebrate dellriously the occupation of the Ethiopian empires capital, 20,000 students marched to the qulrinlal palace of King Victor Emmanuel and shouted "Emperor!
