Tribune ard London Standard
Rome, Oct. 6.--As time progresses
the situation in Italy is becoming
clearer. The present government has
no intention of violating the neutrality
proclaimed by the consent of the whole
nation unless such events occur as
would endanger what Italy considers
her vital interests or would offend her
rights.
Similarly, Italy does not intend TO
occupy any Albanian point unless
forced to do SO by the action of any
country which disregards her predom-
inant position in the Adriatc
Thus all talk that Italy may Join in
the conflict at the present moment is
at least premature. Public opinion
seems to have understood the wisdom
and prudent policy of the Cabinet, a.
the demonstrations trying to force the
government to follow one direction or
another have ceased, the large majority
supporting the Cabinet.

see the consolidation Of the two war

some decidedly undignified disputes
during the annual convention Of that

from the league and organized an as
sociation Of their own. Its member
ship was composed chiefly Of Eastern
film men. The existence Of two jeal-
Gus organizations in the same field
has led TO many complications and

to organize state censorship boards

He sat and waited until calluses
formed just south Of his hip pockets.
Then he undertook an investigation.
