of representative Thursday adopted
the resolution of Representative
Stewart and 103 other members pre-
viding for an investigation of the
state department of agriculture.
Prior to taking the vote on this
resolution the house spent nearly
two hours arguing over the fespec-

ton and q similar one by Senator
Landlord which had been passed by
the senate. Finally the Stewart
resolution was adopted as the sub.
stitute for the Landlord resolution
by a vote of 95 to 70.
Representative Stewart then had
many of his supporters leave the
room or decline to vote so there
would be no quorum. However, aft
er the roll call had been completed,

assure the passage of the resolution,
and had them vote while the roll
call was being verified. BY this
method he secured three more votes
than was needed.
Representative Stewart, of AtlIih.
son, Immediately offered as a sub.
Stitute a resolution introduced ~
himself and 103 other representa-
tives, providing for an investiga-
ton of specific charges that the de-
partment Of agriculture is a vast

to- the farmers. Mr.. Stewart de-
clare dthe senate resolution gave
the committee no authority and
would not permit a complete IN
VeStigation! because of the short
time left.
Representative Barrett, of Stevens,
said the commissioner of agriculture
wanted an investigation and 50 did
Il majority Of the members Of the
house and that the investigation
could be begun today and completed
as soon as possible. He declared the
time could be extended if the COM
mittee had not finished it's work
when the legislature adjourned.

italian Leader, in Special In
tervieW, Explains Feeling
of Government of Rome
Toward American Party
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
Especial Gable to The Journal.)
(Copyright. 1023.l

ROME, Aug. premier Musso-
lini today discussed with extra
ordinary frankness the question of
whether the Fascist organizations
in America should be encouraged or
discouraged.
IN an exclusive interview with this
correspondent, the italian premier
said emphatically that, rather than
incur the opposition of public optn-
ion in America, he would use his
influence to have abolished those
Fascist organizations which have
sprung up among Italian residents
in the United States. But he was not
sure it would be d good thing to do
so, for he thinks some virile force
should be at work constantly among
Italian emigrants to prevent their
falling victims to the doctrines OF
communists. The latter, he believes,
have aggressive missionaries in
America.
,Mussolini occupies the dual posi-
ton of premier of the Italian gov
ernment and actual head of the Fas-
cisti political party, which has
gcend council somewhat like the Re-
publican or Democratic national COM
mittees in the United States. 1t con-
sists of about twenty-five members,
including the cabinet members.
The Grand Council
1.-THE Fascist grand council" said
Mussolini to the writer, "has jusE
been meeting to consider whether the
Fascist organization in America
should be continued. The Italian gov
eminent believes that if any political
faint or suspicion is attached to these
bodies they should be abandoned. But
I hope the American people will, un-
Nerstand that there is no connection
between these orga lizations and the
Italian government, for in America
the Italian government is represent
Ell only by her ambassador, Prince
Caetani. Indeed, the ambassador who
now is here, attended our meetings,
and made a speech in opposition to
the continuance Of the Fascist So
cieties in the United States.
1.-THE question is whether they
can assume an entirely local status
aiming only to combat the economic
theories of Communists who work
among the Italians in America. This
is as important to the welfare OF

Good Tobacco Crop
In Colquitt County

MOULTRIE, Ga, Aug. at al
ready is evident that there will be a
substantial increase in the acreage
given to tobacco in Colquitt county
next year. Growers who tried the
crop this year are well pleased with
the yield and the quality of the to-
bacco. The Various south Georgia
markets will open tomorrow and the
opinion has been expressed that the
prices will be satisfactory. There
are no tobacco warehouses in this
county and Colquitt growers will
ship their crops. Nearly all of them
have stated that they will give more
attention to tobacco next season. The
fact is that crop has Jared better
than most any other produced in

FASCIST IN UNITED STATES
NOT CONNECTED WITH ITALY,
SAYS PREMIER MUSSOLINI

America as it is to the rest Of the
world"
At this point the writer inquired
whether the Fascist organizations
would owe allegiance to any institu-
ton in Italy and the premier said
positively that they had arisen in
America without any connection
with \the Italian government, and
were intended purely as manifesto.
ton of sympathy with the economic
doctrines being practiced in Italy.
az believe firmly" said the pre-
mier, that the Italians in America
should first of all be obedient to the
laws of the United States, and that
they should be the best behaved
citizens in America. / am pleased
to note that many Americans are
beginning to understand just what
Fascism is and are expressing SYM
pathy Herewith"
Statement of Ambassador
The most concrete expression of
approval of Fascism came recently
from the American ambassador,
Richard Washburn Child, and drew
from Mussolini at the time comment
which is significant and important
in connection with. the compliment
tary references to the Mussolini gov
eminent by President Harding in his
st. Louis speech.
Replying to the American ambas-
sadors fqlsome praise of Fascism,
Mussolini said:
GAS a Fascista, your exceilency's
words have interested me\ because
they reveal an exact understanding
of the phenomena of our movement,
and thus constitute a sympathetic
and powerful vindication of it. This
fact IS so much more remarkable
because the Fascist movements are
so complex that the mind of a
stranger is not always best adapted
to understand it.
"You, Mr.. ambassador, constitute
the most brilliant exception to this
rule. Your discourse, [ dare say,
contains all the philosophy OF Fas-
cism and Facist endeavor interviewer
with the exaltation of strength, dis
cipline and authority and hence re-
sponsibflity.
You have been able to show, Mr..
Ambassador, that despite the numer-
Gus differences of the general situa
ton, Fascism has kept faith with
it's promises given before the march
on Rome The time since those
promises were made has been so
short that only a stupid person
would pretend that the work already
is completed. I limit myself to say
ing and in this 1 seem to find cor
roboration by your excellency that
it is we'll begun"
So Mussolini feels that since the
American government, through it's
ambassador, has spoken approvingly
of Fascism there ought to be hence
forth the closest possible relations
between the United States and Italy
in combating the common fOe-Com-
munism.

4,30l Georgians Died
During Year Without
Medical Attention

The Georgia bureau Of vital
statistics has compiled figures which
show that 1901 persons died in
Georgia last year without medical
attention. Of this number, GIL were
due to accidents, suicides or homi-
cides. The other deaths were due
to disease, some Of which were con-
tagious.
So far as the records are COM
plete they indicate that the deaths
were distributed according to race,
as follows: 924 whites; 1881 ne.
groes.
The bulletin of the bureau shows
that there is in Georgia one ply
sician to every $50 persons, whereas
in the country at large the ratio
Of physicians to population is one
to every $50 persons. In the cities
of more than 10000 population, there
is one physician to every AIS per

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. l.
That Alabama delegates to the ma
tional democratic convention will be
instructed for Senator Oscar w. I'm
derwood of Alabama, was regarded
as assured today by political observ-
ers here following his appearance
yesterday before the legislature.
At mass meeting of citizens,
formal invitation to Senator Under
wood to enter the race for the pres
idential nomination was extended
and he had previously declared that
if Alabama wanted him, he would
make the effort.
Senator Underwood thus become
the first avowed candidate for the
presidential nomination.
The senator will spend several
weeks in touring the state, he indi-
Gated today. He has received numer-
GUS invitations to speak and is ac-
cepting them all.
Senator Underworld utterances
yesterday on prohibition and the Eu-
ropean situation were being analysed
with keen interest today. He de-
clared that he would never vote to
'nullify the eighteenth amendment
and urged that the United States act
to relieve conditions in Europe.
Senator Underwood has long been
the target for prohibition hostility
and in the campaigns in this state
has been fought by dry interests.
His declaration was construed as a
reply to recent declarations from Ant
Saloon league headquarters that he
would be opposed by dry interests.
Friends of the senator today were
planning an organization to work in
mis- behalf, and it is probable that a
meeting will be held at an early date
to take definite action.

the farmer prospers there cannot be
permanent prosperity for any ma
ton"
Commenting on the relatively low
purchasing power of present day
farm products, he cited the letter of
a Virginia farmer which was recent.
ly printed in a New York paper in
which the farmer had taken pains to
translate the cost of labor, engaged
in building, into food values at the
farm. The letter showed that it
takes >sixty-three and one-half dozen
eggs to pay a plasterer for one days
work Of eight hours; II IA bushels
of corn, or a years receipt from half
an acre, to pay bricklayer for one
day; % three-pound chickens to pay
a painter for one days work in New
York; az pounds of butter-the out
put of fourteen cows fed and MIXED
for one day-to pay a plumber $14 a
day; 175-pound hog representing
eight months feeding and care, to
pay carpenter for one days work.
In normal times" he said, I'VE
export from this country 10000 900
bushels of wheat. Conditions in Eu.
rope are such that they have no
money to pay for our products. Their
poverty and deprecated currency
makes it impossible for them to buy.
The result is that in the granaries
OF the northwest and in vacant lots
along the railroad are piled quantities
OF grain for which there is no de.
mand. The effect of this stagnation
is not confined to the farmers of the
northwest, 1t reaches into the
south. If this grain is not to be sent
to Europe, there is no demand for
the cotton sacks in which to ship it.
The cotton farmer suffers along with
his colleagues of the north.
There can be no permanent pros.
perity anywhere in the world unless
there is prosperity everywhere in
the world. We have gone past the
period in the worlds history when
each nation and each state and each
locality is Independent of every ma
ton and every other state and every
locality. There must be found a way
to open the stream of commerce and
to re-eStablish the marts of trade.

sential to the welfare of the farmer:
the first of these is education of the
public as to the need of the farmer

luton of the problem, he advocated
changes in the tariff, in transporta.
Ition and taxation and the restoration
of foreign markets.
Senator Copeland charged that the
Republican tariff trainers forgot the
farmer when they wrote the Ford
ney-McCumber bill, which is char
acterized as an Ubiquitous law" Re-
ferring to the lack of European mar
kets, he asserted that before the

about half of this quantity can be
