ACCORDING to a Geneva report in

three principal tuchuns of the league
Chamberlain, BRAND and Stresenan,

parked on their hips, for the most
favorable opportunity to bury them

TINS situation is undoubtedly thrilling

that spirit of brotherly love which is
supposed to be characteristic of the
capitalist system. Indeed we can
not conceive of any state of society,

more at odds with the common con-

the murderous economic system under

grateful he will confer the title of
Honorary President of the Fascist
Alliance Of North America on mayor
Walker, who seems to be incapable
of eonversing on any other subject
since his arrival in Italy, but the
virtues of Mussolini and Fascism. The
mayors guide in Italy is Count Thaon

Walker finds it politically expedient
to be so prolific in his praise of that

THREE more sacrifices on the altar
of capitalist greed are Hill, Ber-
taud and Payne, whose lives were lost
in the Inflated attempt of "Old Glory"
the Heart monoplane that attempted
a nonstop flight from the United
States to Rome. Tho Hearst disavows
any circulation motive in the backing
of this fatal adventure, his disavowal
must be taken with a large pinch of
salt. Had it been successful the pub
Usher would have first claim on the
accounts of the flight by the three
flyers and the prestige accruing from
his sponsorship Of the great hop
would have brought more shekels in

THE omniscient Arthur Brisbane in
his column Of last Wednesday
predicted that in few hours the crew
and passenger of "Old Glory" would
be conversing with Mussolini. For
once Arthur had not talked with god
before he turned his wisdom into the
dictaphone Another disappointment
for Arthur is the established fact that
successful nonstop flights over the
Atlantic from Europe to America are
still to great degree dependent on
chance, which makes it little more
difficult for Arthur to get his GUS
toners excited over the probability of
mighty fleets ofs war planes sailing
from Toxic or London to drop de-
