Religious View VIENNA, Aug. 25-Amidst the wave of pro-Italian sentiment which has swept. the Austrian press ed today by an article in the semi- official Catholic Relchspost point- ing out what it described as the peril to Catholic foreign missions if war begins in Ethiopia. The article. believed by some to have been inspired by the Vatican, declared: "If it comes to War in Ethiopia it will be a catastrophe for the further development of Catholic missions-even more so in Asia than in Africa. "Anglo-Saxon Protestantism in Europe and America is whole- heartedly on the Ethiopian side, a fact which will prevent the colored races from revolting against the British Empire. “But the Catholic situation is quite different. Italy is not only a Catholic country, with Catholicism its official religion. Rome harbors both Italy's government and the head of the Catholic Church. "It. will be difficult to explain to the Asian rice farmer and the African goatherd the peculiar status of Vatican City." The article also suggests that Islam is waiting only a pretext to crush Christianity in Africa. Firm Stand LONDON, Aug. 28--(Monday)- The Daily Mail published an in‘- tervicw lcday with Premier Mus- solini in Rome in which he was quoted as saying "it should m realized without the possibility of misunderstanding that whoever applies sanctions against Italy will be met by the armed hostility of our country." Asked for his advice lo other European nations for the best method of sustaining general peace. the newspaper's interviewer said Mussolini replied that. other na- tions “should follow the example of the United States and leave us alone to fulfill our mission.” (The British cabinet was report- cd last weak to have decided to support sanctions against Italy if all members of the League of Nations Council at the meeting Sept. 4 agree to such a. move as an attempt to preserve peace in East Africa.) "I all send a delegation to the Leagu Council Scpt. 4 for the pur- pose of putting Italy's case clearly before the world," Mussolini said ln the interview. “Our cause will be supported by documents and photographs. I shall even send a case of books, includ- ing one by Lady Simon, denouncing the barbarlc slave-owning habits of the Ethiopians. And when the Council has considered this evidence I shall challenge the League to twat Itafy as being on the same footing as Ethiopia if it, can." The newspaper reported that the Premier, speaking in the calm de- cisive tones of one Jwho cannot be deterred." told the interviewer: "If the League of Nations were so reckless as to expand n remote col- onial campaign into a general Eur- opean war which would open wide the door to every unsatisfied am- bition on the continent, even throughout the world-and this time it would cost, not millions but tens of millions oi lives-then the guilt would rest upon the League." Qontlnulna. Mussolini said "the task of colonizing and civliizlllg Ethiopia will provide work ior the Italian people for the next so years at least. "As soon as we are allowed to de- vote ourselvea to this immense nll- dertaldns we shall be associates, not antagonists, of the British Em- illffi. bound by reciprocal respect of Italian interests by Britain and a like feeling for the British Empire by Italy."

Mrs. Lindbergh tells the story of her 1931 flight to China with her famous husband in “North to the Orient." her first book just pub- lished.

In all other matters both the Governor- General and provincial governors. as executive heads of government, will act on the advice of ministers so long as they are satisfied that to do so does not conflict with certain special responsibilities now statutorily imposed on. them. These re=ponslbilitics include such mat- ters as the prevention of any grave menace-to peace-and-tranqxliilty, the safeguarding of the legitimate in- terests of minorities and of the services, the safeguarding opfcd- oral financial stability and credit, and so forth.

There are cattle, horse, swine and sheep judging competitions. The amateur judges will be here from all parts of the country-from British Col- umbia to Prince Edward Island. That's the wide scale of the C. N. E. It seeks to develop the local talent under the schooling of the best; pro- fessional judges of the continent. An automobile show, featuring advance models for 1936, is the next best thing to the annual February shows-and August is away ahead of February. There are dog shows and cat shows and.‘ baby shows. Mr. Hughes candidly expects to have more than 20 sets of twins on one platform. He. has Rudy Vallee and the crooner-‘s Connecticut Yankees to play music for dancing. The milit- ary tattoc will attract the best bands in that division and another band competition will assemble most. of Ontario's other leading or- ganizatlons. To top this of!

F. Sanderson) (Canadian Press Staff Write?!” OTTAWA. Aug. might have lost a Diamond Sculls winner back in the early 1920's when young Frank Amyot of Otta- wa. didn't have c250. But. it did develop a paddler who stands bo- day without a. peer in the country and who will lead the Canadiali team against the world in the Ben lin, Olympics next summer. When Amyot was at the selectivq age in athletics he had a. hankering for rowing. But the only evenfl that appealed to him was thq singles and he didn't have $250 f4! buy a. shell. His brother Greg wal a-paddler of sorts around the Ri< deau Canoe Club so Frank morq or lam drifted into the game which today is almost an obsession with. him. .. ' "And anyway, the canoe club w closer to my home,’ he explained. It has been a long trail AmyoI has covered from his first paddling, lessons to the top oi the game. Si: times he has shot hlsfrailfipound“ .sh€1l across the line to win thd Canadian singles title. a record 121 paddling history. He won his lat< est championship here recentlyal the annual regatta of the Canadiafl Canoe Association. . Amyot looks forward to th Olympics with a. certain amount o speculation. Paddling will be 011 the program for the first time, tak- ing the place of another old Can- adian game. lacrosse. But so far! no one seems to know what sort ol‘ boats will be used or the lengtli of the races. Canadians have developed a frail- racing shell in the past 25 or 3U years which is used in mgattafi. Europeans. who have taken in paddling in recent years, more a! a form of exercise tharra com-I petitive sport, use a racing boafl resembling an ordinaly Canadian" pleasure canoe. Doubkblade event! and tandems are raced in a kyak, a boat with a. deck extending from‘ side to side except for a seating compartment in the centre. Few Canadian paddlers have seen the type they will us’: at Berlin, let: alone handled it. , But Amyot isnt worrying. Ex- perts at the game say there isn't! a paddlcr on the American con- tinent who can touch him in single blade events. Europe. like the Unit-. ed siotcz, specializes in the double blade so they don't look in that direction for too strenuous com- petition for him. Amyot is a six-foot. ZOO-pound giant of a man, always in top con- diticn. To harness the full strength of his massive shoulders, he use! a paddle which, in comparkcn to the u=uai size, resembles the side of a barn. It has a nine-inch blade, two or three inches wider than the ordinary paddle. It may come in handy when he steps into a Euro- pean racing boat which weighs 6! pounds or more. Amyot never saw that legend< ary figure of paddling. Allister Mc- Kenzie or Toronto, called the greatest bladesman Canada ever produced. Four times McKenzie won the Canadian title, back before the war. each time with ridiculous ease. It was McKenzie who develop- ed the V-shape racing shell used today. Iii; career ended on tho fields of Flanders. It was Amyot who came along t0 better McKcnzles record oi four national titles. It may be Amyot who wins Canada its first Olympil paddling title.
