looking to general disarmament should
include France and Italy, as well as
the United States, Great Britain aud

WORLD CRISIS seen
BY ITALIAN EXPERT
IN BUSINESS SLUMP
(By Associated Press)

ROME, Jan. 21.-Business depres-
sion in Italy is characterized by Sig
nor Olivetu, deputy in Parliament
and industrial and econiinic expert, as
part of "a world crisis" He attributes
this situation not only in Italy but in
France, England and America to the
restriction of consumption and to
Limitation of money. He expressed the
opinion that all countries must pass
through this condition in order to at
tain economic reconstruction.
! Signor 'Olivetti sees an encouraging
sign in the fact that strikes and labor
agitations are becoming less frequent
and less serious in Italy. He says this
indicates that the working men realize
! the difficulties through which all i'll
! dustries are passing. Nevertheless
unemployment is characterized as
/ grave and increasing.
| Competition Has Effect.
| German competition already is hav'
! ing bad effect on Italian mechanical
! industries. Wooden manufacturers
are operating only three or four days
| a week and hosiery and India rubber
! factories are working on reduced
| hours. No new ships are being laid
down because of the uncertainty OF
! future naval construction. The once
fourishing automobile industry OF
! Italy only just holds its own in the
! face of the ever increasing obstacles
to expectation and the diminution OF
! the home market.
| Both exports and imports have de
i creased in Italy, according to figures
just made public covering a period UP
to last September. The decline in ex
ports is attributed by Signor Olivett
to labor troubles, unfavorable ex
change rates and the uncertain condi
ton of foreign markets. The reduc
ton in imports. is ascribed to thf
exchange and unsteadiness in the price
Of raw materials.

.PROFITEERS DRIVEN
FROM Vienna BY MOB;
POLICE ARE SILENT

VIENNA, Jan. 21-Mobs gathered
in the streets here today sending hun
dreds of frightened profiteers to the
country. Shouting threats, singing
martial airs and rumbling menacing-
ly the mobs seized wagons on which
had been erected great replicas of gal
lows.
Police officers, Augmented by re-
cruits from the former Austrian army,
made no attempt to interfere with the
marchers. The latter attempted no
violence Meanwhile labor organiZa-
tons have served an ultimatum OIL
the government, giving it three days
in which to reduce the price of ne
cessities.
From the temper Of the crowds
which marched through the dilapi-
dated streets today, the labor threat
may be followed by action. 1t was
believed possible assaults would be
made on stores and provision houses
where goods would be confiscated.
The flight of profiteers left many
stores closed. Windows and doors
were barricaded, lending still further
an air of desolation to what formerly
was one of the gayest cities of the
world. Authorities believed they would
be able to suppress any outbreak, the
police remaining loyal.
Although one strike Of government
employees was broken last week, there
were further danger signs today, and
the government reiterated its state
ments that lack of help from the en-
tente must result in the collapse of
the government.
Vienna became more than ever a
city of contrasts. While thousands of
persons paraded the streets with their
gruesome talisman. hundreds were
dining in something like former spleni
dor. Those with money spent it reck-
lessly and smart restaurants were fill
ed with men careless of their kronen
and accompanied by handsomely
gowned and jeweled women.

to Mexican Reservation
(By Associated Press)

WEWOKA, Okla, Jan. 81 At Il
conference of Seminole Indians held
here recently decision was reached
whereby many Seminole Indians now
living in Seminole county will move to
Mexico next summer to live upon a
reservation allotted to them in 1859
by the Mexican government, il claims
to the land can be established.
Louis F. Brown, chief of the Semi
noles. and son of former Governor j. +.
Brown, with delegation of fourteen
Seminole leaders, have left for Mexico
City to confer with President Obregon
and ask his decision on the claim.
Chief Brown is in possession Of a
copper medal upon which the original
treaty was made to the tribe, grant
ing the reservation to the Indians,
which he will tSke with him to offer
as proof of the grant. The only ques-
ton that is uncertain in the minds of
the Seminole leaders, is whether the
new Mexican regime will recognize
the treaties of the old rulers.
Members of the tribe who will mi
crate to Mexico are those who have
sold their allotments in Seminole
county, following the removal of re-
strictions, the Seminole chief said.
Having no homesteads, they desire to
live according to their old ways and
customs.
The reservation which the Semi
noles claim was granted to them, ad-
Joins that of the Kickapoo Indians in
northern Mexico and consists of sew
eral thousands of acres of fertile soil.
The reservation was at one time oc-
cupied by the Seminoles, old Indians
say. but many of them moved to Okla
homa after the civil war when the
land was allotted to them Slaves of
the Indians, who remained in Mexico
when their masters moved into Okla
homa, are still living on this reserva.
