NOTES OF THE DAY

(Continued from Pago d.) that, after all, is what we most re- quire.

COVERNMENT CAN ERR

We expressed our surprise yes- terday at the latest peace proposals from Paris, engineered by the in- defatigable Pierre Laval and the responsive Sir Samuel Huare. By: now it is pretty certain that the peace entails the surrender of Ethiopin. More than that, it is in- dicated that Britain and France approve of the ceding of a vast territory formerly, and to some ex- tent still, under Ethiopian control. The Italians, branded as aggres- sors, who made war without cause, and subjected to punishment by the League of Nations, are apparently being offered a generous bribe to stop the war they started. And who pays the bribe? Why, Ethio- plu; and possibly, if it is required, Britain may bear a share. We are not in the least surprised that the Cabinet's approval of the peace formula has brought a storm of protest from members of the House of Commons, both in the Opposition and in the Government ranks. We are-not-surprised-that-the-Govern- ment has lost face. It lays itself open to the suspicion that it is weakening In its support of the League: that it has no faith in sanctions; or that, knowing present formula can never be ac cepted, it has merely manoeuvred to please France. In any case the Government is in error. For this change of attitude bound to be interpreted in Italy as a sign of weakness, and will have the effect of diminishing the usefulness of sanctions. As for the suggestions. themselves, that Italy be given large pieces of Ethiopin to stop her campaign. they are precisely the things which Major Allee, the. Labour leader, suspected might be considered. He found them amusing as we do, and we recall his remark in the House of Commons that to produce a settlement nc- ceptable to Italy, Ethiopia and the League was as impossible and ridiculous as hunting for a solution to a house-breaking epidemic satis- factory to the house-breaker, the house-holder and the Home Secre tary.

THE VERY IDEA!

You never know in the removal game what you'll find under carpets.

Packing the contenta of the wino cellar wasn't an easy jab. However, we managed to pack them quite com- fortably, throwing the empty bottlen into a garbage can.

Meanwhile, the Governor was still solbing bitterly in a corner of the bare sitting room.

When we presented him with tho bill for $75, he sobbed even more bit- terly. Didn't want to leave the old home.

Most of the stuff looked pretty knocked about by the time we'd chucked it on a junk to be conveyed across the harbour, so when the junk Bank the loss wasn't so very heavy.

Meanwhile, we're still in business, If you've anything you'd like removed, such na a'couple of cases of`bour, or your extra concubines, or your 'ton. All give us a ring and wo'll come up and see you.
