Once more the Guardian opens its columns on behalf o1 the little ones who, through no fault o.‘ their own, may be overlooked by Santa Claus. For- many years now this appeal has lnet ready and generous response, many of our readers glui- ly giving of their abundance and even many not over-rich in this woridis goods, making sacrifice on behalf of those less fortunately situated. While the year that is on the wane has been on the whole a. fairly prosperous one, there are a considerable number 0f city people who have encountered diffi- culty in making ends meet, and wheze there are children, these have littlg prospect of a visit from Santa Claus. Those who enlist as Santa Pals can make good the de- ficiency, and it is for this purpose the Guardian appeals for vo'un- beers in the service of Old Saint Nicholas, the Children's Friend.

IONDON, Dec. 9.-(Mondav)- Admiralty officials and Scotland Yard detectives today were invest- igating reports of what they be- lieve t0 be sabotage on a battleship and a submarine of the Royal Navy. . The battleship Royal Oak and the submarine Oberon were tam- pered with while in Devonport dockyard, it was authoritatively re- ported. Damage amounting to several hundred , ' was caused on the RoyaYOak while minor damage was done to the Oberon. The Royal Oak was refitting at Devonport when failure of the electric system caused a short cir- cuit. Diligent search was made for the cause but only alter three days was it discovered. A sail pin an eighth of an inch in diameter had pierced a two inch cable connect- ing the control tower of the battle- ship and the dockysrd power sta- tion. _ The head pin was sawn off and the lead cover of the cable replaced. The trouble on the submarine Oberon also was electric. It was discovered during a. sea test which followed repairs made at Devon- port doclcyard. A commutator had been tampered with.

Italy would play the predominant role in this assistance 91m. llispimd by a proposal ad- vanoed some time ago by the Lea- gue's committee of five. The Hoare-Ilaval project falls short of Italy's known demands in one significant respect. It fails to afford a territorial link between her and her two East African colonies, Eritrea. and Italian Somaliland. ‘Phe plan will be forwarded to Premier Mussolini with the under- standing that he will have to choose one of these three alterna- tives: l. He must accept the proposal as a basis for peace negotiations. 2. If rejected, he must suggest what would be the least Italy would accept to end the campaign. 3. Unless one of these two courses, is adopted, the rigid embaigo on oil to Italy will follow. Views Awaited Before the Haste-Laval plan be- comes anything like an accomplish- ed fact it must be accepted "lirst by the three prime parties in tin; East African confiim-Jtaiy, Ethiopia and the league. Observers believed that the Lea- gue‘s reaction would depend pure- ly 0n the reception the proposal re- ceives in Rome and Addis Ababa. If Italy and Ethiopia are willing to move toward peace on the basis suggested by Premier Laval and Sir Samuel, it 1s felt the League will not stand in the way.
