HAS TO WARN OF
ITALIAN CRISIS
Grinding of Workers by
Fascist Fails to Help
CBy Laurence Todd.)

WASHINGTON, Oct. &c. (FP1-
Wage workers in Fascist Italy are
the wretched victims of Mussolini's
attempt to revalue the Ira, accord
ing to evidence set forth in pamph
let by H. C. MacLean, American COM
mercial attache at Rome, published
by the U. S. Department of Com
merce under the title "Italy's None
tary Policy"
This American government official,
explaining that the forcing of an in
creased value for Italian money has
caused industrial depression, says
that unemployment has been worst in
the textile and machine industries.
Desperate efforts have been made, he
says, to reduce production costs, and
of course wage-cutting has been APP
piled Thus wage slash of 10 per
cent was handed to 100000 textile
workers.
Will this scheme succeed? The
American expert thinks not.
THE argument is used" he says,
chat the workers will benefit, both
because it is hoped to provide longer
employment, which will result in
greater earnings even at a lower unit
rate, and because of the reduction of
prices that will follow. However, re-
duced wages mean reduced purchas-
ing power, and, at least temporarily,
consumption will further decline. The
standard Of living in Italy is already
admittedly low; if it must be further
reduced, severe hardship will result
ut is too early to say whether the
cost of living will decline to suf-
fient extent to compensate for the re-
auctions that are being made in wages
and whether the latter will really have
the desired result of stimulating pro.
| duction and employment"
Pointing out that Italy's industrial
activity of the past four years has
been largely due to huge borrowings
abroad, upon which the first payments
are now coming due, MacLean finds
that the economic crisis due to the
rise in value of the Ira has not vel
fully developed. Conditions will
surely be worse "for some time tc
come, even if the currency is main
tanned at its present level" If the
/ rise continues, he adds, "r1anufac-
turers and business men would be less
able to cope with it, since their re-
sources are already subject to a
< severe strain"
les This disclosure of the severity of
the depression which Mussolini has
created is the first which the Wash
lngton government has given to the
American public. 1t amounts to a
warning to American investors to
steer clear of Italy until after the i'm
pending crash shall have registered
all of its destructive force.

The pickets then spread out. A

Chicago University Man
Advises Recognition Of
Soviet Union by America

CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-That the
American foreign policy toward
the Soviet Union has been ineffec-
tive in realizing its professed aims,
and that recognition of the worker
republic would more quickly ac-
complish what the state depart
ment processes to be after than
any other policy, are conclusions
reached in a study entitled Amer
lean Policy toward Russia (1917-
1920, made by DR.. Fred L. Schu-
man of the political science depart
ment, University of Chicago. Fol-
lowing his first interest in the
subject 10 years ago Schuman has
lately put in almost 2 years of
work, spending a winter with the

Small Factory Men
Meet in BaCkWOOdS;
BeWaiI Hard Luck

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Oct. &c. -
A wall from the smaller manufactur-
ers, squeezed under government eXac-
tions and at the mercy of the big
trusts which put out the bulk of the
staple products, and the financiers
went up today from John e. Edger-
ton, president of the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers, in its thirty
second session starting here today.
Speaking for his own group of
smaller businesses, Edgerton de-
clared:
Outside the few gigantic corpora
tions which don't have to bother about
competition and by whose large pro-
fits the public is misled, the common
run of manufacturers in America to-
day are in about as unhappy a con-
dition as their fellow producers, the
farmers; and challenge the Stats
ticians to overturn that statement"
He also felt that "the bankers are
not worrying, since they own the
country body and SOUL" and that the
"10,000,000 employees on national,
state and local government payrolls"
run the government.
Edgerton did not propose struggle
against the government or the big
trusts, but "debunking of the idea that
there is prosperity" and reduction of
the standards of living of workers, of
whom he asserted that thru: "abnor-
nlally high wages and lower living
costs, the so-called working classes
are in the happiest living conditions
they have ever known"

brown-skin man of medium build and
was in the part of the Jail allotted to
prisoners either charged or convicted
of felonies. AS he came up to the

ing murdered and assaulted the IA
year-old daughter of David Goodwin,

Norfolk, Va, Oct. 25.-Judge B.
d. White, of the Circuit Court OF
Isle of Wight County, today named
commission to meet in Richmond No
yember 3rd, to examine and report on
the mental condition of Shirley
Winnegan, Negro, charged with the
recent murder of Hilda Barlow, a
young white girl.
Judge White also announced that
owing to the difficulty of getting any
of the attorneys of Isle of Wight
County to defend the prisoner ne had
appointed James G. Martin, OF Nor
folk, to conduct the defense. Mr.. Mar
tin accepted the appointment.
Decision to obtain report on the
mental condition of Winnegan, who
had been adjudged insane prior to
the crime, will mean delay In the
date of the trial which had been set
for November 1st.
1t the time of the crime, which
Winnegan denies having committed
he was on parole from the Central
State Hospital at Petersburg, from
which he was sent because of the fact
that there was no room there Tor
him.
Judge White said that if Winnegan
is found sane new and later trial
date will be set. If he is found in
sane he will be committed to an
asylum. Members of the commission
appointed to make the examination
are the superintendents of the State
hospitals for the insane at Staunton,
Williamsburg and Petersburg.
