Browder Assails Rape Of Ethiopia; Asks Aid For Spain
NEW YORK-(CNA)-Mussolini's war of conquest in Ethiopia was assailed by Earl Browder, Communist Presidential candidate, in a radio address over a coast-to-coast network of the National Broadcasting Company.

Browder's speech was the first of eight national broadcasts scheduled for the Communist candidate for President and his running mate, James W. Ford noted Negro leader, between now and November.

Warning that the fascist dictators were "getting ready to tear down civilization itself, in their mad attempt to perpetuate their rule and conquer the world," Browder raised the demands of non-recognition by the U. S. Government of the Italian conquests in Ethiopia, support for the Ethiopian guerilla fighters and for the Spanish Popular Front Government. He denounced as a monstrous war provocation the open intervention of Hitler and Mussolini in Spain on the side of the Spanish military-fascist rebels.
