ROME. Italy. January 10.-With
nearly half a billion American dollars
flowing into Italy foil owing the Wash
ington debt conference. MusSolini, ac-
cording to all Indications, is undiS-
puted master of his country for years
TO come. This money solves all the
outsta nding problems of public finance
and international trade and places the
Keystone on Il structure which the
duce has been building methodically
and almost silently for the last six
months--the third Italy' of Fascist
dreams.
This Italy is unique in the modern
world and probably in all history, I'M
less one wishes to draw parallels with
Soviet Russia. The first thing that
strikes the foreigner in the third
Italy" is the complete abolition of
liberty as understood in all other ad-
Nanced countries.
Mussolini does not apologize for
having, as he once put it. "trampled
on the corpse of liberty" He believes
political liberty is of no Importance to
the masses.
Il am giving Italians" he has said,
the only liberty of value-that of
working for their families and for the
fatherland in an orderly, disciplined
country.
Liberty in Italy cannot be spelled
with a capital l.. II Is not natural
right which the government must re-
spect, but a favor which the govern
ment grants and withdraws at will.
Some of the Things Forbidden.
These are some of the things you
may not do in Mussolini's Italy:
You may not write bokS. neoWSpa-
per articles or placards or speak in
public against the government.
You may not write books, newspa-
campaign by the spoken or written
word Opposition parties are still per
mitted to exist" but they are not
permitted to perform any of the func-
tions of political parties. Their elect
ed deputies may not speak against the
government or parliament. except
very moderately on technical ques-
tons" Ii they do they are thrown
out by Fascist deputies.
You may not speak i'll of Mussolini.
Italians who do so abroad may be
punished by loss of citizenship and
confiscation of their Italian property.

No 12-Mile Limit
For American Ships
Word of Circuit Court

New York, July S-(P)-There is
no twelve mile limit preventing
seizure beyond that point for Ameri--
can ships, according to a decision OF
the United States circuit court of ap-
peals made public today in reversing
a finding in the United States dis
trict court of the District Of Connec-
ticut. The Connecticut decision had
sustained exceptions to government
libel filed against the American rum
runner Underwater.
The Underwater was seized be-
yond the twelve mile limit, a fact
upon which one of the exceptions
was based.
IAN American ship on the high
seas retains her allegiance to the
United States" the decision of the
circuit court of appeals recorded
1T is quite we'll recognized that
every nation has the right to bind
its own subjects to its own laws In
every place.
The libel was based upon five al
legged causes. First, that liquor was
being transported aboard the I'm
derwriter: second, that quantity
of intoxicants was found on the
vessel; third, Illegal transportation
of intoxicants; fourth, that the IN
derwriter was engaged for another
trade than that for which she was
licensed, and fifth, that she was en-
gagged at making a foreign voyage
without giving up her enrolment and
license as a coastwise vessel.
