have the same blood. In fact, l con-
slider a Franco-1talian agreement as
one of the fundamental necessities of
European evolution.
The problem of a change of statute
is On the way to a satisfactory solu-
ton. The other. problem of the stu
alton of the Italian colonies in the
regency of Tunis is of vital interest to
us. When the moment is propitious
the friendly discussion of it can also
be taken up"
Asked whether the common inter
ests of Italy and Great Britain in the
eastern Mediterranean imposed a
policy of collaboration between the
two nations. Mussolini said;
'In the friendship between England
and Italy there is. nothing imposed. /
dare to say, in fact, that even If there
were not many economic and political
reasons in favor Of collaboration, the
friendship would exist just the same
because of the tradition which has
never been broken from the time OF
Piedmont until today, and which Will
never be betrayed.
Both Work for Peace.
1.-The two nations, moreover, follow
the same political tendencies. which
are based on these principles, main
tenance Of equilibrium In the basin of
the Mediterranean and development of
commerce and trade for the Increased
prosperity Of the two peoples. The
signatures Of the two nations on the
Locarno pact show. moreover, that
both are ready to make sacrii1ces 1or
the maintenance of peace.
Turning to Levantine and Oriental
affairs, the Duce pointed out that
Italy was maintaining friendly rela-
tions with Russia and Turkey.
There Is no reason. therefore,, ne
declared, referring to the Odessa con-
versations, "for us to suspect that
anything is being done which might
possibly hurt us when the political
leaders from Moscow and Angora de-
eide to meet to deal with their own af-
fairs. Nor have we any reason to in
terfere in any way with those affairs.
Taking UP finally Italy's attitude to-
ward events In the Far East, the Duce
remarked: "In regard to an eventual
future yellow peril I think 1t de-
pends also a bit upon the Occident to
know how to avoid 1t.
Tribute to Ancient Sages.
eft is said that the ancient sages of
the Orient succeeded, by means of
analogical methods and by pure force
of intuition, several billeniums ago. in
learning the profound verities which
our Occidental scientists, with analyt-
ical methods, are only now finding
out-such as, for example, that of the
unity of matter and energy. 1t is GER
tain that Asia is the most ancient
source of all PHILOSOPHERS and cradles
of human thought.
"It is necessary, therefore, to cease
considering Asiatics as barbarians; 1t
is necessary to break down the bar
riers which separate US from those

men. who do not demand anything
more than to be allowed to progress.

LONDON, December II @.-Pre-

in an interview obtained by the Asso-
ciated Press and cabled to London
from New York, has created much
interest In British official circles. The

officials here expressed the hope
that the tone of Premier Mussolini's s
statement would do much to allay
popular fears, which are widespread
in Europe, with regard to the meth

out the interview the Duce indicated
that Italy's expansion was inevitable.

MOLLER HAS PLAN
TO EASE TRAFFIC
Would Eliminate "Road Hog
ging" on Sixteenth Street
by Lines System.

plan to facilitate the movement
OF traffic through the automatic-light-
controlled area on Sixteenth street and
at the same time eliminate the preva,
lent road hogging" practice was con
Ccived today by Col. ]. &. Moller, as.
Sistant director of traffic.
BY painting white lines to divide
he streets into two sections for north
and Southbound traffic, with additional
lines in either section to mark traffic
lanes, and the PRONUNCIATION of a reg
ulation to force motorists to keep
within these defined paths, Col. Moller
believes that conditions on Sixteenth
street will be improved materially.
Traffic Director NJ. O. Eldridge gave
his Endorsement to the idea and indi-
Gated that it might be tried out in the
Spring, when the weather is more
favorable.
Hits Road Hogs.
Something will have to be done to
force motorists to keep out of the
middle of the street." said Col. Moller.
Traffic is retarded, especially on Six
jcenth street, because slow-moving
vehicles will hog the center of the
roadway
incidentally, Mr.. Eldridge revealed
OtidL ne Has IIie Bureau
Standards to make a test of different
types of paint and recommend the best
adapted for traffic marking. Paint
now being used does not have the
durability and longevity that the Traf-
ftc Bureau desires, it was said. Thus
far this year approximately 1.200 gal
Ions have been used at cost of about
So a gallon.
Col. Moller spoke at a meeting last
night of the citizens committee ap-
pointed to study the magistrate sys-
tenn of Police Courts and advocated
the creation of a traffic violation bu-
reau, which would remove the neces-
Slty for motorists going into court in
$4,000 out of 10000 traffic cases each
year. The bureau was suggested as
an alternative to the proposed magis-
trate system.
To Save Time.
According to Col. Moller it would
give motorists an opportunity to waive
trial and plead guilty to minor in
fractions of the traffic regulations, pay
an agreed schedule of fines and spend
no money for attorneys fees. The bu-
reau, he suggested should be housed
in the traffic department.
THE avowed principal purpose of
the magistrate system he said, sis
to keep policemen on the streets in
stead of in court. | do not believe it
will have this effect. Instead of keep
ing them in a central court down
town, it will keep them in branch
courts in police stations, saving them
only the time of going from the sta
ton houses downtown and back The
traffic violation bureau plan will keep
them out of court altogether

continue firmly along this road.
Expects Italy to Expand.
II have firm faith that the urgent
problem OF Italian expansion can be
resolved by these methods. This faith
Is based upon recognition OF the fact
that our greatest problem has been
understood throughout the world. The
newspapers of all countries, from
Scandinavia to America, publish ar
ticles explaining and discussing Italian
needs and proposing means OF sat
isfying them.
II can almost say It has become
an international problem. IT is inter
national, in fact. because 1t is to the
interest of everybody that Italians do
not suffocate every hour more surely
