London, Aug. 1.-The recent ex-

mons on Thursday with respect to the
negotiations with the allies would
hardly be very Informative has now
yielded TO a belief that the premier
will explain the situation fully, with
drawing the veil of diplomatic secrecy
which hitherto has kept everyone
guessing.
The government is credited with the
hope that it will be possible TO publish
before Thursday the whole cOrrespon-
dence between Britain and her allies
since June, but the documents are so
numerous and so lengthy that it is
now feared the time will not suffice
for their arrangement, printing and
circulation in Parliament.
If this cannot be done. Mr.. Baldwin.
according to political writer's, will take
Parliament and the public into his

just An Experiment?
Mussolini promised to call a gen
eral election, but postponed it for a
year. Some critics say he is not so
much afraid of defeat Us of having
too many fascist elected to parla-
ment, which might mean a division
in his own ranks. Today he rules
with a minority fascist, but other
parliament members are so scared that
they do whatever Mussolini says. Mus
solini is aware that that is the best
arr ngement for dictator. Italy has
been passing through tense period
of transition. Contrasted with the
chaos following the fall of ministry
after ministry, the fascist at least
made trains punctual, and labor strikes
a serious offense, therefore there is
kind of equilibrium now. The big
question is whether the government
will grow more rcactionary and alb
solutc or whether having Gained peo-
pie, a return of legal methods. and
the confidence of the masses, constitu-
tional government will come back.

Rome. July 3i.-Supposing Wall
Street and the country's business in
rerests. suddenly impatient with the
farm bloc or labor group in con-
gress. should line up with the Amcri-
can Legion and the Ku klux Klan
and utterly disregarding the existing
military and civil authority, should
march on Washington 100000 strong,
should intimidate congress into obed-
fence and force the resignation of
the chief executive, substituting a mill
tary dictator.
This imaginary picture gives an
idea OF the happenings in Italy dur
ing the last eight months, for Musso-
lini's government of revolutionary
dictatorship is popular because it is
feared. and it is approved enthusiastic
cally by the business interests be-
cause it saved the country from
worse fate-bolshevism But is it
legal? Even its defenders admit the
doubtfulness of the proposition that
the end justifies the means.
Surprising further that the Demo-
Gratis or the Republicans in the United
States should win an election and an
Italian ambassador should make a
speech at a banquet saying what q
great thing the victory is for America
as a result of the election; and sup.
posing the winning party should
achieve a triumph like the Italian
fascistis would the Italian envoy be
permitted to remain in the United
States: Would he not be recalled?

The questions suggested themselves
to the writer after an investigation
of the situation here. For the fascist
movement has the wholehearted APP

made sensational speech at an Off

ter described as better exposition
of fascist principles than they them
selves could have made.

a prepared speech:

SHARES DRY
LEAGUE VOTE
Once Branded as a Wet,
Today Acclaimed by
Anti-saioon Chief.
SUPPORTS THE LAW
Senator Becomes Dominat-
ing Influence in His
Home State.

Montgomery. Ala, Aug. oscar
W, Underwood, senior senator from
Alabama, today is the dominating in
fluence in state politics, according &c
the consensus of political opinion ex-
pressed following the demonstrations
of yesterday, when the senator an
nounced his willingness 10 become a
candidate for the Democratic nomlna-
ton for the presidency at the forth
coming national convention.
The situation was clinched, leaders
asserted today, when DR.. W. +.
Crumpton, for many years leader of
the Alabama anti-saloOn league forces,
announced his support of Senator I'm
derwood in the mass meeting following
the senator's address TO the joint ses-
sion of the Legislature.
President From the South.
In announcing that be was willing
to become the candidate for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination, the
Alabama senator said he would do so
only ss the candidate for his home
state. He emphasized the fact that it
has been so years since the South has
bad a representative in the presidtn-
tial chair. the last being James X.
Polk. of Tennessee.
Before the members Of the Alabama
general assembly the senator related
his stand on the "wet" issue. Declar-
ing he had no desire to apologize for
or retract the position he had taken
in the past, he came out in defense
of statement said 10 have come from
headquarters of the anti-saloon league
branding him as SWEET"
Senator Underwood recounted his
reasons for his votes in Congress in
opposition TO the eighteenth amend
ment. shut" he said. 1.-THE states of
the Union have delegated to tie fed
eral government the right to prohibit
the manufacture and sale of alcoholic
beverages. That decision by the peo-
pie of this country closed the issue so

Upholds the Dry Law.
He added that in his last campaign

be had opposed the eighteenth amend

In concluding his defense of having
been branded a SWEET" Senator I'm
derwood said:
"If. after this. any gentleman gets
pleasure in calling me wet let him
do so.s
Immediately after this defense and
before reiterating previous state
ments regarding foreign policies and
a comparison of the tariff under Demo-
cratic and Republican administration.
the senator took rap at the Re

on record indirectly as approving
the overthrow of established govern
ments by military means, something
which in Latin America at least was
discouraged as far as possible b. the
preceding Washington administration.
Tension Is Apparent. -
Surprising the fascist movement is
ultimately overthrown by the liberal
and less reactionary elements, would
America be held in as high repute
then for having taken sides in an in
ternal questinl? Already the Italian
liberal press is criticizing America for
craftsmanship in Italian internal af-
fairs.
These considerations are by far the
most important of those striking the
Investigator reaching Italy. There is
n tension in the atmosphere which
is not escapable. Gradually some
essentials of democratic government
are being taken from the people by
the oligarchy headed by the agrees
sive Mussolini.
For instance, there is strict censor
ship of all dispatches sent from Italy
by cable or wireless. Correspondents
frequently have numerous sentences
taken out of their dispatches.
The news censorship not only is
evidence of absolutism, but as we'll a
fear for the outside world TO learn
the truth. The Mussolini government
is considering law about to be JAM
med through parliament, taking away
the freedom of government criticism.
The measure is aimed at Senator Al
bertini. the owner of Corrie Della Sc
ra, published at Milan and among
the best of the newspapers published
in Europe, certainly thu best in Italy.
Albertini dared to criticise the gov
eminent. therefore q bill is pending

Rev. Bahusen who had intended tt
