particularly to this country, with its
horror of social unrest.
The plot to assassinate Mussolini,
shows what would happen, if pres
sure from America should destroy the
value of the lire and force a panic in
Italy.
II protecting Italy from disaster,
4 this country would save all Europe
from serious danger. One reason7
able step would be cancellation of in
terest charges, now amounting to
$500,000000 as was done in Bel
GUMS case. Interest should be fixed
at a minimum, payments spread over

II is doubtful that anything in the
l end, can save Mussolini from the
fate of Rienzi, and he realizes the
probability that his life will end with

Doctor Blazer, anticipating his

If those weather-beaten and horny
handed ones understand the mystery
of life. they are far ahead Of all the
worlds philosophers and scientists.
THE ways and means committee

gift tax. Every man ought to give
his wife, before death, enough to
take care of her and her children
That is common sense and decency,
and government sbsald not tax de-
cency, of which there is never too
much.
John FORTESQUE, English his

all to the poor, or quoting Saint

IYOW many millions of human be-

California days to come?
Great Britain has an area of 95,-
600 square miles, and a population
Of 42,O00,000.
Italy has an area Of $4,000
square miles and a population of 49,
100000.
California has an area of 15s,0O0
square miles and a population of
only 100000.
Gxeat Britain could not sustain
her present population without out
side help. California could easily
raise enough food to feed three times
the population of Great Britain and
have plenty left over.
