O0-mile tour to tell about Wisconsin
by the council of ministers. 1t was
said if the chamber did not pass the
law for this reform promptly, it would
be dissolved and the present law
would be modified by royal decree.
The success of fascism in Italy
has prompted the organization Of SINH
lar movements in other lands. In
Bavaria and Hungary it appears likely
to take the form of royalist revolu-
ton if it comes to fruition. Recent
dispatches tell of the spread of the
movement in Mexico, where, as in
Italy, it is designed primarily to stamp
out communism.
ONE of the most important de-
~ cisions handed down recently by
the Supreme Court of the United
States was that read by Associate
Justice Sutherland last week denying
to the Japanese the right to be natur-
allied in the United States and to
become citizens of this country. One
case from Hawaii and two from the
state of Washington were decided to-
gether. The court held that the
naturalization act of June 20, 1906,
was limited by the provision of Sec
ton 2, 169 of the revised statutes, au-
thorizing the naturalization of free
white persons and those of African
birth and descent, and that the Japa-
Dese are not eligible to naturalization.
It was added in the decision that
''there is not implied-either in the
legislation or in our Interpretation of
it-any suggestion of individual I'M
worthiness or racial inferiority These
considerations are in no manner in
volved.''
MOT in many years before has
South America experienced so
severe an earthquake as that which
devastated large sections Of Chile.
The most destructive of the tremors
lasted but a few seconds, but the
shocks required during several days,
each one adding to the destruction
and to the terror of the inhabitants.
The worst results were on and near
the coast, and great tidal waves in
creased the devastation. A number
of towns and villages were wholly or
partly RACED, and the loss of life may
reach 1900 or 1000. The American
Red Cross responded Immediately to
the call for aid, and in addition Presi-
dent Harding ordered two vessels to
take cargoes of food, clothing and
medical supplies from the Canal Zone
to the stricken region. Thousands of
families are homeless and destitute,
and already pestilence has broken out
among Them.
This disaster gives sharp point to
the annual roll call Of che American
Red Cross, now in progress. The or
ganization is always ready to meet
such emergencies, but they make sud
den and enormous demands on it's
financial resources. For that reason
every American is urged to buy
yearly membership.
CO-CALLED Progressive Republi-
- cans who are members Of the pres
ent congress or who we're elected mem
bers Of the Sixty-eighth congress, to-
gether with other prominent members
of that wing Of the party are said to
be arranging a conference at which
they will plan for open revolt against
the leadership of President Harding
and dictation of the conservatives"
According to dispatches from Wash
ington some of the issues upon which
they expect to unite are: Repeal Of
drastic provisions OF the Cummins-
Esch transportation act; revision Of
the tax laws, levying higher rates up
on big incomes, both corporate and
individual; radical curtailment of
governmental expenditures recogni-
ton of the soviet Russian govern
ment; curling of the powers of the
federal reserve board; revision of the
recently enacted tariff; amnesty for
political prisoners !; living wage guar
antee for labor under the juris-
dINI1OAA VI Lie SONOI iOSlSICIAOh
to curb the use of the injunction in
labor disputes; a more liberal policy
in the extension of credit to farmers.
XX7ILLIAI BROSS LLOYD, mil
w lionaire, and eighteen other mem
bers of the Communist Labor party,
convicted of violating the Illinois
espionage act, lost their last chance
to evade punishment when the state
Supreme court refused to extend the
stay and issued a mandate directing
execution of the prison sentences. i'm
posed on them two years ago, and col
