County conventions were held
last wee throughout Texas, with
both Democrats and Republicans
electing delegates to State conven-
tions to be held the latter part of
this month. The contrasting views
expressed in the conventions, the
over-statements. exaggerations, halr-
statements and other well-known
political implements seemed more
plentiful than in, any such conven-
tions in recent years.
In Dallas County, for example,
the Republican condemned Presi-
dent Roosevelt as a "dictator hold-
ing complete control through his
own powers and those of bureau-
cratic . officers." The Democrats
praised the President as the savior
of the country'at a time when the
future was blackest, and gave a
ringing endorsement to his policies.
Other counties with both parties
represented had similar contrasting
convention statements.
The enthusiasm which has mark-
ed the county conventions is a fair-
ly good index to the type of po-
litical campaign that will be held
in Texas this summer. The Demo-
crats will bring out all of the good
things that can be attributed to the
administration, while the Repub-
licans will toss out the black Cats
and other odds and ends that even
the staunch Democrats had rather
dhforget. The average citizen, will as
Vusual, be forced to make up his
mind from a mass of conflicting
information, only a small portion
! of which will be the full truth.

"Discussion Futile"
Baron Aloisi told the private ses-
sion in a prepared speeh:
"AU discussion of the Italo-Ethi-
opian difference is lutile."
Anthony Eden. Orea Britain’s
foreign secretary who presided at
the session, asked cooly whecher
"under the circumstances the
Italo-Ethiopian question should be
kept on the agenda?"
Dr. Peter Munch, of Denmark
and Salvador de Madarlago of
Spain qutetly moved for its reten-
tion and the motion was passed
without a dissenting voice.
Baron Aloisi and his co-deelgates
then sternly walked out:
“This does not signitly resigna-
tion from the league, ” the Italian
envoy said.
His dramatic exit followed a bit-
ter protest from Hallie Selassie
himself against Mussolinl’s annex-
ation of the African kingdom, arid
Italian hints that Italy would bolt
the league, rather I than dhscuss
Ethiopia in the presence or an
agent of Selassie.
Not Resigming League
However, an Italian spokesman
said Aloisi merely was leaving the
council on this particular occasion,
and that his action-did not mean
the Fascist state was resigning from
the league.
The Baron departed with his en-
tire delegation. One member of the
delegation told the Associated

not discuss this questiion with the

Ethiopian question is liquidated,
we do not wish to discuss the ques-

ator Byrd wrote Morgenthau say-
ing 11 huge corporations would es-
cape all taxes under the House bill.
He listed 29 others which he said
might pay less than under existing
tax laws
He requested the treasury to sup-
ply him a list of all other corpora-
tions with incomes of $1,000,000 and
more a year which might have a
lighter tax bill if the House mea-
sure should be enacted. J
Byrd, a member of the finance
committee, expressed concern over

corporations a greater advantage

their present smaller competitors ”
(The tax bill, as passed by the
House, is featured by a new types
levy on corporation income, grad-
uated according to the percentage
of income withheld from dividend
distribution. The tax would range
up to 42 1-2 per cent on net in-
come. The bill provides for the even-
tual repeal of existing corporate
taxes, so that a corporation which
distributed all its net income would
pay no taxes.)
