WOUNDED BOMBED AGAIN

BRITISH MINISTER CONFIRMS REPORT

FOREIGNERS ESCAPE

London, Jan. 6, Confirmation has been received, in London from the British Minister in Addis Ababa, Sir Sydney Barton, of reports in circulation over the week- end that another ambulance unit in Ethiopia had been bombed by Italian aircraft

The unit attacked was Ethiopian Red Cross Ambulance Number One, situated at Daggarhbur, which it staffed by an Egyptian and Drillsh personnel. The unit was bombed and machine-gunned by att Italian aeroplano on January 4.

It appears there were no casual- tles among the foreign staff.

During the previous bombardment of Daggarhbur immunity of the Red Cross unit, which was at some dis tance from the town, was respected.

A member of the staff of the British Legation is being sent to the spot to investigate and report on all

circumstances.

STIMULATION OF TRADE

A.A.A.'S DEATH MAY

SPEED EXPORTS

Washington, Jan. 6. Authorities on Far Eastern trade have predicted that the Supreme Court's blow to crop control will stimulate the United States exports of cotton, whent and tobacco to the Orient by reducing production costs and making commodities cheaper to the Importers.

Experts recall that the United States sales of these commodities to China and Japan fell materially be tween 1932 when production was not restrained and 1936 when it was res tricted with substantial processing taxes added to the cost of the original goods.

They speculate that prices may not fall as rapidly as they would other wise owing to the fact that the heavy surpluses existing three years ago were largely consunted during the control period. Also they express the opinion that the United States produce tive capacity is such that large crops

AMERICAN LEAGUE OF NATIONS

PLAN TO INCLUDE BRITISH EMPIRE

CANADA AS GO-BETWEEN

Ottawa, Jan. 6. Speculation that President Roose- velt envisages a new American League of Nations, with Canada as a go between, which might eventually in- clade the whole British Empire, is offered by the Toronto Globe in com. menting on the President's neutrality

message.

The

Globe suggests that President Roosevelt is flying an International kite by extending invitations to South America, Mexico and Canada to form a League of American

Neutrality

Most Canadian newspapers, how ever, comment on President Roose- velt's message cynically; for example, the Ottawa Journal declares that the words of American Presidente are not always translated into action by Congress, Reuter.
