that they do not obligate this gov

investments.
Possible complications resulting
from war between Italy and Ethi

neutrality legislation enacted in
the closing days of the recent con
gress.
What status the American com
pany’s claim would have should
Italy take that part of Ethiopia
by force, appeared uncertain. Of

Stimson Statement
During the Manchurian invasion
by Japan Secretary of State Henry
L. Stimson said the United States
would not recognize any territory
taken by force. This, however,
presumably would not bind the
present administration to protect
concessions granted under condi
tions such as those in Ethiopia.
To insist that the American

Italy’s proposed conquest, be re

SENATOR POPE ANGRY
Paris, Aug. 81.—(UP)—Signing
of an oil concession in Ethiopia
may bring soon a campaign in
forming the American public of the
plight of American missionaries in
the countrjr, Senator James P.
Pope, dem., Idaho, warned in an
interview today.
"I should not be surprised to find
the same interests (reported to be
American) that have obtained the
concession begin such a campaign,”
Pope said angrily to the United
Press.
“It would dispel misgivings of
millions of American citizens if the
administration officially pronounced
that it would not be committed to
defend oil or other concessions in
Ethiopia.
“It was precisely this type of de
velopment I had in mind when a
few days ago I referred to the dan
ger of big international complica
tions which might arise in the Ital
ian-Ethiopian crisis and might in
volve the United States in armed
conflict.
“For 50 years American financial
interests have been trying to secure
American military support for
their ventures abroad.
“To anticipate the usual zeal of
American patrloteeirs who may now
think the moment has arrived to
carry their mission of “oil democ
1 racy” into Ethiopia It seems to me
it should be made clear that not
one cent ef the American taxpay
' era’ money, not one American gun
or soldier will under any condition
be used to protect the interests ol
concession hunters in Ethiopia.

Naugatuck.
Accident Described
The accident is described as fol
lows by he deputy coroner:
The deceased was a mason’s
helper employed at the Eastern
Malleable Iron Company in Naug
atuck, Connecticut. On August
16th several men were working on
a stack about 63 feet high. Brick
and cement were being hoisted to
the top of the stack in a pail. On
top of the stack one Peter Strzes
zewski removed the pail from the
hook after it had been hoisted up
and handed the brick to the work
men engaged in laying them.
Pail Slipped His Hand
The pail containing the brick
was hoisted up and when Strzes
zewskl reached for it to take it olf
the hooks, the pall slipped from
his hand. He at once shouted
“look out”, but Bartold, who had
just come throffgh a door from the
inside of the plant apparently did
not hear him, and he was struck
on the head by the pail of brick
a few feet from the doorway.
The workmen had been cau
tioned to be careful and not stand
under the pall of brick and cement
when it was being hoisted to the
top of the stack.
Bartold suffered a compound
fracture of the skull and died
without regaining consciousness.
I find that said death was due
to a compound fracture of the
skull sustained in the manner
heretofore described, and that said
death was not due to the criminal
negligence of any other person or
persons.

It was signed at dawn yesterday,
after an early morning conference
at which Emperor Halle Selassie
was understood to be present, by
Francis William Rickett, British oil
promoter, in behalf of the corpor

Ayaleu, director of mines, and
Everett A. Colson, American finan

behalf of Ethiopia.
It was reported that the African

Standard Oil Company of New

The development company was
said to have headquarters In Lon

One Jump Ahead of Italy
By the contract Emperor Haile
Selassie I, flouting the apparent
design of fascist Italy to seize the
rich portions of his country, grants
the company the oil concession in
all Ethiopia eastward ' of a line'
from Aendakoma, on the Eritrean
frontier, southward along the 40th
meridian of longitude to a point
on the Awash river between
Awash and Choba, on the French
railway between Djibouti, on the
coast and Addis Ababa, thence
southwestward to the northern end
of Lake Rudolf on the frontier of
the British Kenya colony.
At the lfiilway line, the west bor
der of the concession is 80 miles
eastward of Addis Ababa, the capi
tal. A little further south, at the
nearest point on the southwestward
line, near Algo, it is but 60 miles
away.

grave situation might be seriously
complicated seemed to be general
