NEW ATTEMPT
IS MADE TO
S0OTHEDUCE
France And Britain
Produce Proposal
To Settle Trouble
In Africa
(Copyright, IMS, by the AP)
GENEVA, Aug. 1.—Certiln League
of Nation*' circles predicted Thurs
day following a long distance tele
phone conference between Premier
Laval of Prance and Premier Musso
lini of Italy, that a formula for the
settlement of the Italo-Ethiopian
dispute would be agreed upon with
in 24 hours.
The impression crew that II Duce
had proved somewhat conciliatory
in his talk with Laval.
This optimism wss expressed de
spit the fact that only a few hours
earlier the Italian delegation to the
special session of the League council
summoned to attempt a solution of
the crisis, had declared an Anelo
French formula “entirely unaccept
able."
‘Distinct Pessimism
The formula had been prepared
overnight by Anthony Eden of Great
Britain and Premier Laval of Prance.
The text of the formula was com
municated at once to Premier Mus
solini in Italy A spokesman for the
Italian delegation told the Associat
ed Press: "The atmosphere among
Italians is one of distinct pessimism.”
Premier Laval immediately called
Premier Mussolini by long distance
telephone urging him to abandon
his opposition to the plan.
The two premiers held a long con
versation. It was understood the
French leader called the attention
of Italy’s chief to the gravity of the
situation from the standpoint of the
League of Nations. Europe, and the
world.
While his French colleague talked
on the telephone. Eden, the British
•trouble shooter." relaxed comfort
ably in a rocking chair on the porch
as! his hotel. He sat there, placidly,
Mt the sun. awaiting the official Ital
ihn answer.
Italy objected particularly to the
outstanding provision of the for
mula, providing virtually for a broad

political conference between Eng
land, Prance, Italy and Ethiopia.
Objects to Equality
Italy apparently objected to sit
ting with Ethiopia on a basis of
equality, raising the point that the
east African Empire was not a par
ty to the 1906 treaty among England.
Prance and Italy, guaranteeing
maintenance of the sovereignty and
territorial integrity cf Ethiopia.
This treaty was chosen as the basis
for proposed negotiations among
England. France and Italy for con
tinued peace between Ethiopia and
Italy.
An impression prevailed that Bar
on Pcmpeo Oloisl, head of the Ital
ian delegation to the League of Na
tions council session in the crisis,
found the formula too stiff and that
II Duce himself probably would de
mand a relaxation of its provisions.
The projected course of action
looking to solution of the East Afri
can impasse reportedly called for re
vival of the Italc-Ethiopian com
mission with appointment of a fifth,
neutral member.
During the arbitration period. Italy
and Ethiopia would pledge them
selves not to resort to war. Signs
tones to the 1906 treaty between
England, France and Italy, guaran
teeing independence and territorial
integrity for Ethiopia, would seek a
general solution of the controversy.
Ethiopia’s representative, Prof.
Gaston Jeae. who told the council
arbitration had failed and that “the
i general situation between Italy and
Ethiopia is steadily growing worse,"
pledged Emperor Haile Selassie's gov
ernment later to particiate in any
negotiations promising to bear fruit
Italy maintained its stand that the
conciliation procedure should be
confined to frontier incidents, and
that questions of territorial sover
eignty should be excluded. It was
conflict over this question that
brought the break-up cf the conciliar
tion comission at Scheveningen. the
Netherlands.

TAX DODGERS
TRAP IS SET
$5,112,125 Set Aside For
Check-Up On Incomes
Over Nation
WASHINGTON, Aug. X. UP)—
President Roosevelt Thursday allot
ted $5,112,125 of work relief funds
to the treasury department for a
three-fold drive to tighten up on
tax collection.
Included would be an intensive
check-up on income tax returns of
the *011116 fellow,” and a drive
against "evasions" of liquor taxes.
White collar jobless will be em
ployed in the work. Officials said
they hoped the studies would bring
increased tax revenues.
The largest allotment was $2,448
290 for a survey of delinquent taxes
and “nuisance” tax collections in
20 large cities. The Bureau of In
ternal Revenue also received $1,577 -
894 to check small income tax re
turns; and $1,086,941 for a nation
wide study of retail liquor tax evas
ions.
Commenting on the income tax
check-up, treasury officials said
that in recent years revenue agents
have been able to examine only 350,
000 of the 700,000 returns sent them
for study. Those examined have
been returns of larger taxpayers.
Now the small taxpayer will be
checked. About‘1,000 people will be
empioyea on the new joo.
Insisting that the liquor tax
check-up would more than pay for
itself in extra collections, officials
said sample surveys in 10 large cities
had shown "extensive evasions,”
while "certain stores were being used
as outlets for bootleg liquor.” The in
quiry will be made In 90 cities of
more than 100,000, population.
Work will be necessary in dry states
because of beer, malt, and medicinal
liquor sales, officials added.

COUNTRY BANKS
ARE PROTECTED
G-Men Get Authority To
Track Down Robbers Of
Funds on Deposit
WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.—(JPh
The arm of the Justice department
agent is expected to reach out soon
to protect the small town bank,
long victimised by America's 5000
ki.own bank robbers.
The “G men” who oollared nearly
14C robbers of National banks last
year, are called upon to shield an
other $18,00j,000,000 under a pro
vision tucked away In the new
banking Mil. now in conference be
tween senate and house.
The bill extends to all banks in
sured by the Federal Deposit In
surance corporation the "G man”
protection given last year to Na
tional banks and Federal Reserve
member banks.
“Country bankers” have feared,
since the federal agents were put
cn me jod last year, mat me oamc
robber, frightened away from "bis?
game,” would redouble his attack
on the small town bank.
Under the new law, the agents
would be given orders to track down
robbers who steal any of the $41,
000 000,000 deposits in 14,280 banks,
National and State.
Since the entry of the agents In
to the bank sector of the war on
crime, there has been a sharp and
steady drop in the number of bank
robberies, justice department fig
ure? say.
The violent ending of the careers
ot Dil’mger, “Pretty Boy” Floyd, the
Barker brothers and other hood
lums was one step in this campaign.
Bank robberies have decreased
more than 50 percent. The Ameri
can Bankers’ association records
disclose that there were 16 robberies
a month in 1933. When the federal
agents took up the trail of the
bank robber in 1934. the monthly
average dropped to 111.
