MAT TEOTI CASE
NEAR CLOSE
By international Newo servis,

CHIETI. Italy. March 2o.-Coun-
sci for the defense in the trial Of
Amerigo Dumini and four others,
charged with the murder of the So.
cialist deputy, Matteoti, began sum-
ming up today.
The burden of the defense coun-
sells argument was that the murder
of Matteoti was not preneditated.
Counsel for Signor Poverome, one
of the co-defendants, devoted con-
siderable time to exposition of this
contention. This gave the case a
peculiar angle inasmuch as Power
ONE had denied being present when
Matteoti died.

For more than 20 years, / have
made study of most of the occult
sciences. During that time have
come across no interesting points in
Natures laws, in so-called spirit
ualism, mind reading, astrology,
Christian Science and so on. All
these studies have parallel in
everyday life.
In the Bible we have spiritualism
and the healing of the sick.
SpirituaIism when Christ entered
the room where the Disciples had
the door locked. Christian Science
when He raised the dead and cured
the sick. Mind reading, when Me
read their thoughts. The same in
His promise, whatsoever We ask in
My name.
Regarding Spiritualisn, was told
by spiritualist, who was .
cousin who was killed in the World
War and. how it happened. Weeks
later learned the truth OF this.
Then again. from my own knoyvl-
edge of astrology-I predicted the
exact time of my mothers death,
though I was 1000 miles away
when it happened.
We give credit 10 a box and a
few pieces of wire and cali it won
derful radio.
The same result with a human
being is telepathy Most people
nowadays believe in the reality of
radio. They believe that il is a.
gift, greater than the mind that
put it into material form.
AstroIogy has given us the most
exact ratio of diameter, to circum-
ference. Yet ii is childish accord
ing to those who win not study. So
i will close with this: Now when
Jesus was born in Bethlehem. of
Judea. in the days of Herod. the
King, behold. there came wise men.
from the East. to Jerusalem. saying:
Where is He that is born King of
the Jews? For we have seen His
star, in the East, and have come
to worship Him. Matt. xi.y.1-2)

Foster was complimented upon the

E. ]. Huxsable To Be
Named Postmaster
Continued From rage One)


In this examination in which Foster
allso took part E. J. Huxtable, Henry
Elvey and J. c. Norton received the
highest percentages and were there
fort first on the eligible list
Senator Cameron, in his letter, states
that Huxtable's recommendation has
been made from among the first three
eligibles Foster was appointed act
ing postmaster after Overlock's death
upon the recommendation of Senator
Cameron, who expressed regret in his
letter that Foster was unable to pass
the civil service tests with grade
sufficient to place him among the ELI
gibles. The law requires that the re-
commentator be made from among
these first three names.
While no official action has yet been
taken on the appointment, the matter
is considered as settled, since it de-
pends upon Senator Cameron's recon-
mendation. The senator viii send
Huxtables name as his recommendation
for postmaster at Douglas to the post
master general, who will in turn send
it to the president. The president will
send the recommendation to the sem
ate, where it will be confirmed, after
which the appointment will be Off

tion of acting postmaster on April 16
of this year, following his official ap-

Way Clear for Possible
Three-State River Pact
CONTINUED From Page tone)

(COntlnu6Q FROM rage 'OAOI
-- -- .----
The conference was in danger of
breaking up late today when the dele
gates decided that there was no funda-
mental principle that could be agreed
upon as basis for agreement. Such
a fundamental was summarized, by
Chairman Charles p. Squires of Nevada
as:
"It, seems agreed that Arizona and
Nevada are entitled to some revenue
for power derived from their natural
resourc S, and that California has
agreed that the receipts of such reVe-
nue. is just The only thing that re-
mains to get together upon is, what
such payment for power should be-
There was no dissent from either the
Arizona or California delegations to
this dictum, and discussion which had
lapsed temporarily was resumed.
Efforts to arrive at basis from
which to compute the tax rate which
Arizona will place on electrical power
delivered to California transmission
lines from proposed hydro electric
plants on the Colorado river occupied
virtually the entire day in discussions
by delegates.
Arizona was not disposed to accept
Caldfornia's offer of 81 per annum
horsepower, but stands by it's proposal
of a year ago that the electrical energy
leaving Arizona should net her Sc per
horsepower, or 1k mills per kiloWatt
hour.
Nevada delegates, as on yesterday,
took little part in the conference.
State Senator Ralph Swing of Cali
fornia backed up by e. S. Scattergood,
chief engineer of Los Angeles bureau
of power and light, argued that Cali
fornia would have no ground for claim
to electrical power if Arizonas pro-
posaIs were incorporated in the con-
tract. Thomas Maddox and F. A. Reld
of the Arizona delegation did not deny
this, but took the view that energy
would be available to California as the
only adequate market.
After the morning sessions discus
sions had avai1ed nothing, Scattergood
produced figures to show that Calltor-
MIA taxed electrical companies approx
mately II cents per 500, which would
be less than the offer of 81 per horse
power. This would form fair basis
for determining the rate, he said.
The Arizona and Nevada delega-
tions agreed to stand by congress
decision on the power payment or
tax rate question only with the
proviso that California instruct it's
representatives in congress to work
in good faith to have congress ap-
prove of such payments.

the correspondent to be seated opposite
him.
81 am entirely in favor of the restor-
alton of balance and equilibrium of
forces in formula most adapted for
maintaining peace the premier de-
clared. "I believe that if we place two
Identical weights on the two sides of
an ideal weighing balace, equilibrium,
in theory, should be maintained indef-
initely. But if we place in them q liv-
ing organism in perpetual growth, the
index of the scales will be changed
with a velocity equal to that of the
difference between the development of
the two organisms. The organism
which is developing itself with the
greater rapidity will soon surpass the
weight Of the other and will cause the
scales to zip in it's favor.
Equilibrium between peoples, which
are the most living of all organisms,
must therefore be continually re-estab-
lished.
Ii IN what L have said you will find
the answer to the question so often
asked of our colonial aspirations and
desires One must mot describe Italy
as though she were lying in hiding
behind hedge ready to jump at the
throat of the first passing nation to
tear q colony from her hands. This
italian attitude, created in bad faith
by the fantasy of certain of our adver-
saries, is absolutely nome existent.
Nation Mus4 Work
eve do not believe that it is as yet
possible in the present phase of world
evolution to abolish war absolutely,
and we are therefore trying to be ready
to defend ourselves at any moment and
against anybody. But l know that the
Italian people needs first of all and
above all to work.
therefore, although our policy is
not pacifist' in the Utopian sense of
the word, it is, however, essentially
| pacific Moreover, l have demonstrat-
ed this by the numerous pacts I have
concluded at every time and in every
place possible, and \ shall continue
firmly along this road
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 arti-
cles explaining and discussing Italian
needs and proposing a means of satis-
flying them.
II can almost say it has become an
international problem 1t is internal
tional in fact because it is to the in
terest of everybody that Italians do not
suffocate every hour more surely in
their narrow borders

the premier maintains that the Incl
dents between the two nations were
due to the Vaccinations of few indi-
viduals.
"rhese Incidents" he said, were due,
above all, to little groups of trouble
makers who, beyond the Alps, are COM
posed of conspirators hostile to the
fascist regime, VINO nave settled on
French territory and of groups on this
side of the Alps formed often of per-
sons expelled from the fascist party
and of agents provocateurs.
Against the disturbers in our own
house we have taken the steps re-
quired by. the occasion. Moreover
these incidents can not and must not
disturb in any way relations between
the two governments still less the
relations between two peoples which
have the same blood. In fact. l COR

situation of the italian colonies in

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 say, in fact, that even if
there were no. many economic and
political reason in favor of collabora-
tion, the friendship would exist just
the same, because of the tradition
which has never been broken from
the time OF Piedmont until today,
and will never be betrayed.
The two nations, moreover fol-
low the same political tendencies,
which are based on these principles;
maintenance of equilibrium in the
basin of the Mediterranean and de-
velopment of commerce and trade

/ two peoples. The signatures of the
two nations on the Locarno pact
show, moreover, that both are ready
to make sacrifices for the mainten-
ance of peace"
ORIENTAL AFFAIRS
Turning to Levantine and Oriental
affairs, the Duce pointed out that
Italy was maintaining friendly rela-
tions with Russia and Turkey.
Taking up finally Italys attitude
toward events in the far east, the
Duce remarked:
"In regard to eventual future yer.

bit upon the occident, to know how
to avoid it,"
"It is said that the ancient sages
