A new and old creation--an association
of two great peoples-to which one viii
bring its secular traditions of unity, its
rich colonial empire and the strength Of
its military and civil history, while we will
bring our youth, the miracle of our mil
lenary and adolescent civilization, the IN
corrupted strength of our family feeling
the prodigious fertility of our women and
the strong will of our laborers.
"A bloc of S0,000,000 Romans from
the Atlantic to the Mediterranean under
the mighty fist Of MussOlini will solve tn
hard and obscure problem of Europe. IN
a year France will be France again,
worthy collaboration for the eternal res
toration of the glory that was Rome. And
if the French people is irremediably des-
tined to disappear despite our efforts TO
give it new blood it will have the joy Of
fainting in the immortal arms which fon-
died it when yOung-not destroyed by
barbarians, but absorbed in the immortal
breast of Rome"
Frenchmen have given some attention
to the Mussolin scheme of Roman En-
pire, for a French newspaper, 'BOeuvre,"
says of it:
''Shall we laugh? Shrug our shout
ders? Shout northumberland?
Perhaps. But madmen, if sometimes
amusing, are more often dangerous
Napoleon Bonaparte, an Italian by race,
il must be remembered, effected partial
revival of the ancient Roman Empire.
The Roman standards, eagles, decorations
and many. symbols were used by him.
Italy was part of his system Of allied ma
tons. II one Latin nation could revive
the empire, why not Italy?
There is naturally much speculation as
to the person Mussolini intends TO make
first emperor Of the restored Roman En-
pire. From Italy a statement has been
cabled that he plans to elevate King Vic
tor Emmanuel TO the imperial crown. II
is hard 70 imagine the modest and IN
assuming King of Italy, who yielded so
easily 70 Mussoini's high-handed assump-
ton of power, exercising the functions Of
Caesar. Who is more fitted for the
office than the masterful MussOlini, who
bears many points of resemblance TO both
julius Caesar and Napoleon Bonaparte?
It is suggested that there may be a
transitional stage on the way TO the restor-
alton Of the empire. It will be remem-
bered that Julius Caesar thrice refused
the imperial crown, although he exercised
its powers He was followed by his
nephew, Augustus, who became really
emperor.
Under Augustus the Roman Empire
reached the height Of its power and dig
nifty. Mussolinfs avowed ambition is 10
restore Rome 10 the beauty and splendor
of the Augustan period. The other day,
when inaugursting the new Governor Of
Rome, he spoke thus
within five years Rome must appear
as a marvel TO all the people Of the world

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
By GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Suppose we pause long enough in
this series to take stock OF the invest
ment tendencies or fashions OF the
day. Take the most conservative OF
securities first-United States Govern
ment bonds. AS this is written yields
on them range around 81 per cent,
some a little higher and some little
lower. The higher return is obtain
able on the shorter maturities, the
lower on those that have the longest
to run This is because buyers of
Government bonds believe that the
long term price trend Is upward. This
is regardless Of what may happen to
other bonds or forms Of securities.
1t goes without saying that there is
no risk as far as safety of principal
or continuity Of interest is concerned
on any United States Government OBJ
legations. The only question is
whether the present price level will
be maintained, and the opinion of the
best Informed bankers on this sub
ject is that higher prices for Liberty
and Treasury bonds are more probable
than lower.
For one thing, unOer operation OF
the Governments sinking fund the
supply of Liberty bonds is slowly but
steadily diminishing. The United
States Government is reducing its
debt, in which respect it stands al
most alone among the great powers of
the world. The demand for Govern
ment bonds from financial institutions
and large corporations does not grow
less. and these two factors must re-
salt, If they continue to operate, in a
slowly rising quotation.
The question next arises what the
average small investor who owns
Liberty bonds ought to do. Should
he dispose of his Government Sc
curities to reinvest in something that
gives him larger return? Each in
dividual has to find the answer to his
own need of income. but this much is
plain--he can substitute other bonds
to net him larger yield. but he can
not find anything so safe or anything
Ashat gives him as much assurance of
~rket price stability.
