The Times this morning prints very human letter
to the editor in which the writer after taking note of
the statement regarding the possibility of proteerng
in food in this region which United States Attorney
Walker made yesterday declares that what is needed
is not more investigation but few arrests That is the
natural attitude of the consumer who has watched the
Department of Justice spend great sums of money with
out reducing the cost of living. OF course the federal
attorneys have to have cases that will stand UP in court
before they can make arrests, but there ought to be
some way to makeit apparent that they are in earnest
about this fight against food costs which are too high
The public wants more action and less talk and If it
does not get what it wants the general irritation over
the situation is going to be increased.

Italy.
"Signor Nitti hopes to obtain from
England financial treatment similar to
that granted France, especially rela-

the newspaper said. THE premier
will do his best to have the supreme
council agree that the allied and asso-

sovereignty over Italian towns. first of
all Fiume, and that they will accept
the result of negotiations between
Italy and Jugo-SIavia- This system,
besides guaranteeing our rights and
preventing their violation by other
peoples would have additional advan-
tage of bringing about the approach
of the two peoples. Reciprocal conces-

cord which would be reached would
be accompanied by closer friendship
which Jugo Slavia must desire even
