Ethiopian Women To

Invasion
(By The Associated Prats)
ROME—Informed circles report
Mussolini's policy to be “no com
promise" at tri-power conference
on Ethiopian crisis.
LONDON — Lord Robert Cecil
urges Britain to show Italy it will
uphold League of Nations by force
11 neoes&ary.
PARIS — Hope for settlement
seen in persuasiveness of Premier
Laval.
ADDIS ABABA—Women take
over jobs of men recruited to
army.
(By Tha Associated Frees)
ROME. Aug. 13.——<JP)— Informed
circles described Italy’s policy Tues
day In the forthcoming tri-power
conference on the Ethiopian situa
tion as one of “no compromise.”
These sources said Premier Mus
solini outlined this policy Monday
in discussions with his aides and
officials who will attend the Paris
conversations, beginning Thurdsay,
with representatives of Great Brit
ain and Prance.
It was sad that Italy will neither
abase her demands for a definitive
settlement of her dispute with Ethi
opia nor give further heed to sug
gestions of compromise which In
volve concessions on her part.
In the light of this policy, an of
ficial announcement In the weekly
review Affariesteri was regarded as
not presenting the point of view of
the foreign office. This was consid
ered significant.
It was suggested that the pointed
declaration of policy was made to
prevent the article in the review,
which suggested possibilities for
peaceful settlement of the ItaJo
EthIonian dispute, from being ac
cepted as authoritative.
What is generally regarded as
Italy’s reluctance to create an at
mosphere of hostility in advance of
the Paris talks was believed ac
countable for the press’ moderate
tone Tuesday In its comment on
Great Britain’s attitude in the east
African conflict.
Informed circles heard that this
lass petulant position was dopted
at the suggestion of Prance.
Italy awaited with keen interest
the report of General Alda Pellegrini,
director of civil aviation, on the crash
las* Thursday of the army plane at
Cairo, Egypt, when seven men were
killed, including Luigi Razza, min
ister of public works.

Old Timers Reach
For GOP Controls
Before Youngsters
CHICAGO, Aug. 13. (A*)—In some
| states they talk about younger,
newer leadership for the republican
party but in Illinois some of the
eldest members of the old guard
Tuesday reached for the wheel and
prepared for the 1936 state and na
tional campaigns.
Among former leaders who scent
ed the battle were:

% u" of his campaign expenditures.
In the offing was William Hale
Thompson, a juvenile of 66, three
times mayor of Chicago, who coi.d
not be reached for a statement but
whose activities in some quarters
were taken to mean he was testing
the political wind.
Outside the ranks of former of
ficeholders. three names most gen
erally identified with republican
leadership in the state were Col.
Prank Knox. 61, publisher of the
Chicago Dally News, who was sec

D. S. MINTS ARE
MAKING MONEY
$3,000,000,000 Profit Is
Rung Up By Treasury
On Small {Coins
WASHINGTON. Aug. 13. —
The government has been * making
money” in a big way out of its
power to issue currency and "reg
ulate the value thereof.”
Seigniorage on currency issued
under the silver purchase act and
on coins turned out by the mints
has boosted total "profits” on the
money-issuing privilege in the
past year and a half above $3.
000,000.000 treasury figures said
Tuesday. That included $2,800,000,
000 arising from revaluation of
the dollar in gold
Nearly $150,000,000 has been re
alized from printing silver certifi
cates, representing the difference
between the cost of the metal and
its monetary value of $1.29 an
ounce.
In addition, the treasury has
rung up in its cash register since
June. 1934. about $70,000,000 in
other seigniorage income. Demand
for small coins increased substan
tially. Minting them returns lucra
tive profits over the cost of the
silver, nickel and copper used.
But Uncle Sam is the only one
in this country taking big profits
out of money manufacturing, ac
eroding to treasury officials.
Despite a five-fold increase in
the amount of counterfeit notes
and coins seized during the depres
sion, secret service men said there
was no indication that makers of
bogus money were getting rich
On the contrary, William H.
Moran, chief of the service, insist
ed it was a poor business for the
average counterfeiter, what with
the risk of getting caught, the
rial ties and the capital necessary
get started. ,
Most of the government’s gold
and silver profits are expected to
be used in time for debt retire
ment. Of the gold profit about
$645,000,000 has been set aside for
that purpose.

GIANT CHURCH
MERGER SOUGHT
Methodists Hope to Close
Old Wounds and Become
United Again
CHICAGO, Aug. 13.—(^h— A
church merger even larger in scope
than a united Methodism, their
primary goal, confronted three
rroupe of Methodists who met Tues
day to find a path to unity after 100
years of separation.
A Methodist union vfith Presby
terianism will be the next step If
the conferees realize their hope of
cementing the century old three way
split In their own denomination.
The Methodist-Presbyterian com
bine has been considered for sev
eral years, said Dean James A.
James, of Northwestern University,
a member of the Methodist unity
commission for 17 years.
A conference was held on the
subject, and it was agreed both
denominations should heal breaches
opened In their own ranks by the
slave issue before the Civil War, ana
then seek the larger unity.
The Methodist leaders, sub-bish
op* and 39 clergymen and laymen,
were confident the four day session
uey opened Tuesday would bring
Methodists into one fold—the larg
est Protestant church unit in the
country, with 8.500.000 communi
cants—probably by 1940.
The three groups, Methodist
E oisc opal. Methodist Episcopal.
South, and Methodist Protestant,
have been at odds since 1838.
The conferees, members of com
missions representing each of the
three factions, will submit their
findings to the general conferences
cf the denominations. The first of
these will be the Methodist Epis
copal sessions at Columbus, O., next
May.

ADVANTAGES OF
EXHIBIT TOLD
Valley to Profit If Right
Centennial Advertising
Brings In Visitors
(Special to The Herald)
EDINBURG, Aug. 13. — The fol
lowing statement was issued Tues
day by J. P. Carl of Edinburg, pres
ident of the Rio Grande Valley
Centennial Exhibit Corporation:
“If. by a suitable exhibit at Dal
las next year, we could induce 10.
000 people to visit the Valley who
otherwise would not come, what
would it mean to us just from the
standpoint of dollars and cents?
“Suppose half of them came by
automobile and there were an
average of five persons to the car,
which is a high estimate as to oc
cupants of an automobile. That
would be 1,000 cars. That car
oould use in gas and oil alone, an
verage of $5, or $5,000 for car
supplies. Each person would spend
on ar. to-rera*$fc2 per day or $10
per car, and they would not get
oui under two days. That would be
$20,000 for other expenditures, or
a total of $25,000.
“Those who came by bus or train
would spend on an average of $5
per day. That makes another $50.
000 for two days stay. A total of
$75,000 If there were no outlay
except actual expenses.
“Look these estimates over and
see If they are not conservative.
There ought to be five or ten times
that number come. If twice that
number, then In actual expenses,
we would get $150,000 we other
wise would not receive. If 50.000
people, we would receive a minim
um of $375,000. Then if one per
son out of each 100 bought $2,000
In property, we would thereby sell
$200,000 in property we otherwise
would not sell This would make a
total of $575,000 in new money In
the Valley. If we are wrong, please
tell us where the error Is.
