was adopted by the Senate yesterday,
1872 votes to 10. The voting was pre-
ceded by a lengthy discussion. with
Premier MuSSolini as the final speak
er. He refuted the assertions of pre-
viouS speakers that the Fascist cam

ing to isolate Italy from the civilized
nations.
MussoIini declared he would favor

bankers were offering subscriptions
TO millions of Americans for a loan
of 500. 100000 to Italy.

that an isolated country does not re-
ceive such credit
Answering the argument that the
government real purpose in pushing
the measure through parliament was
to strengthen the Fascist regime, Mus
solini asserted: 1T is right for each
regime TO make laws to defend it
self"
Among the few who opposed the bill.
only Senator Croce spoke. saying that
If the law was intended to pacify the
population 1t would have the opposite
effect. He thought 1t unfortunate that

time when conditions of public lib
erty are very disturbed in Italy" This
statement met with animated inter
ruptions by the Fascist Senators.

His story" said Comdr. Smith. in
an interview. 'is extremely dangerous

occurred during the Hawaiian flight

THE entire report of the Honolulu
critique, as quoted by the purported
stenographic notes taken by Lieut..
Sheridan Of Admiral Williams re
marks. would be Illuminating if the
Army aviator had testified as to what
actually occurred.
Lieut. Sheridan's testimony that
here were crashes when IA planes
were sent aloft is open to the same
criticism When one considers that
almost 900 landings have been made
on the Langley and that not single
person has been killed, and remem-
bers that this type of flying is the
most sporting flying in the world, the
results are phenomenal.

Gullion didn't know what he was talk

the witness had not criticized any-

Maj. Gullion arose and said that he
didn't think the court needed any ex-

but Col. Blanton Winship, law mem

Accordingly, the prosecution contend

under cross-examination that he was
incompetent to testify regarding naval
matters.
Without deliberation Col. Winship
recommended that the prosecution's 8
motion be overruled and the court
adopted the recommendation.
The testimony was concluded with
one question which Gen. Howe
president Of the court, put to the wit,
