The success Of fascism In Italy
has prompted the organization Of simI.
lar movements In other lands. In
Bavaria and Hungary 1t appears likely
to take the form Of royalist reyolu-
tion If 1t comes to fruitIon. Recent
dispatches tell Of the spread of the
movement in Mexico. where, as In
Italy, 1t Is designed primarily to stamp
out communism.
lnNE 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. 1905,
was limited by the provision of sec

thortzing the naturalization of free

|NTOT in many years before has
~ South America experienced so
severe an earthquake as that which
devastated barge sections Of Chile.
The most destructive of the tremors
lasted but few seconds. but the
shocks recurred during several days,
each one adding to the destruction
end 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 OF
partly razed, 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 the 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 ita
financial resources. For that reason
every American is urged to buy Q
yearly membership.
