Inc Minnesota STATE DOdru Oh con-
troll and Warden Wolfer of the pen
itentiary at Saltwater are ready to
meet the competition OF the binding
Irvine trust, which is about to start
plant in st. Paul in the endeavOr to
run the prison Irvine plant out OF
business by underselling it in the
state. II the trust plant cuts into the
market for prison twine, the state
will carry the war outside and force
the trust to meet competition in the
surrounding states. Under the pres
ent law the prison authorities may
go outside the state to sell any OF the
product left on hand after July /,
but If the state has any trouble next
season in disposing of the output, the
legislature will be asked to change the
| law SO the state can go outside and
sell the prison output any time after
May /. That would give the trust
some trouble. The present plan is
| to break the market only In Mime
sofa, in order to kill off the prison
plant. The trust is not looking for
competition all over the northwest.
| A former cabinet minister of Italy,
who is statesman of note and likely
| to return to power, has written an
| important article in the Corriere Della
Sepa, on the international situation
| in connection with the Moroccan con-
ference He says he thinks that the
real antagonism is between Germany
and Great Britain War between these
two countries, he points out, would
have dreadful effects, as it necessarily
would involve other powers, leading
to a retrogression of centuries. Which
ever side is victorious, the writer as
serts, Europe would have to cede the
supremacy in civilization to America
and Japan, who would become the
dominators of weak and discouraged
Europe. Germany or Great Britain
cannot wish this, he says, and con
sequently they probably will come to
an understanding.
