MUSSOLINI'S WASHINGTON
INFLUENCE WANING

But the Italians in America who
are hoping and working for the lib
Grafton of their country have taken
the occasion to bring to light some
of the more brazen attempts of Mus
solini to project his empire into Amer
lea. There is published, for example,
in the New Age Magazine, of the
Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, a quo
tation of the telegram sent to Rome
by the Fascist central council in an
nual meeting in Philadelphia two
years ago: Central Fascist Council.
closing its second annual reunion,
sends expressions of true devotion to
its Duce and renew oath of allegiance
to do his will and carry out his orders
to the end"
Then there is the declaration by a
Fascist magazine in New York, on
AUGMENTATION: "To be a citizen OF
Rome is the highest attainment, and
now under Fascist Italy the highest
honor. How could we, therefore, ever
think or become so vile as to renounce
that citizenship for the citizenship OF
even America ?" And Mussolini de.
clared: "My order is that Italians
shall remain Italians, no matter il
what lands they shall live"

case to the Federal Court to be tried at Great
Falls this fall. This order was granted without
resistance on the part of the special attorney in
this case The County Treasurer was glad to have
this case go to the Federal Courts, far away from
the local courts and from local influence, where
there could be no charge of prejudiced court or in
terested jurors. Everyone else interested as far
we have been able to learn were satisfied, ex-
cept possibly Mr.. Clausen. The case was up for
the argument to the sufficiency of the pleadings
at this term of the Federal Court at Great Falls,
after which the case would have been no doubt
ready for trial, and further delay would have been
improbable. But just before the argument of the
demurrer, Babcock filed motion to remand the
case back to Sheridan county.
The motion to remand means another delay:
that is just what Clausen wants. Clausen after
moving to transfer to federal court could not kick
the football back and move to remand to state
courts Babcock must do that if the motion were
to be made-and he did.
If Judge Pray finds that the law requires that
the case be returned to Sheridan county, he will
remand it. Then will the case go to trial? Oh, mol
Then Clausen will come in again and file affi-
davits of prejudices and interest on the part of all
prospective jurors in outcome of case and ask for
change of venue as to counties and as to Judge
the case comes to trial on its merits Another cleo
ton time will have rolled around and the robbery
and the loss to the county can be made political
issue, In the hopes of electing officers who will
compromise this case with the bonding company.
In the end OF course the bonds must be paid but
Clausen hopes to find some way somehow to avoid
payment as all bonding companies do when they
are faced with loss but not until Mr. Babcock
has piled up huge claims rendered in making un-
necessary appearances.
And all of this could have been avoided and the
case brought to immediate issue and Judgment Sc
cured this fall, if Paul Babcock had not moved for
the return of this case to Sheridan county.
These tactics by Babcock sustains absolutely ali
that the Producers News has alleged in reference
to the procedure in this case-it proves the signi-
ficance of the canary letter

SENATOR WHEELER REGISTERS AT
THE PARK AND DIMES AT THE
RAINBOW

"Does the lion eat grass with the lamb
Does the wolf feed upon grain beside the
hen? Will soda and vinegar lie placidly
in the same container? No, none of these
things happen. We do not believe in mir
acles even though snakes sometimes walk
upright as men. The reptilian qualities of
the man may dominate his entire exist
ence, his very physical appearance may
be such as to indicate that he is built to
grOvel in the dust, the touch of his hand
is cold, clammy and bloodless. Such a man
takes all and gives nothing in return, he
is the embodiment of ingratitude. In poll
tics he represents all and benefits none. To
him the class line is not a battle line
where the final conflict for the supremacy
of the earth will be settled between the
workers and their masters. To such a
man the class line is a market place where
those who have been lifted to position of
honor by their class may bargain with
Shylock over the pound of flesh nearest
the heart of the propertyless, struggling
toilers who are doomed to life of servi-
tude thousands of feet below the surface,
or who roast before the furnace in smell

WASHINGTON GOSSIP
By HARVEY O'CoNNOR Federated Press

ents in Italy who criticise his regime,
but he has decreed that if foreign
er criticizes Mussolini or Fascism
from, say, New York., the Fascist
government will seize and confiscate
any property in Italy that may be-
long to the critic. From this to the
seizure of relatives of the foreigner,
if these relatives happen to enter Italy
as tourists, may be the logical next
step.
In order to bolster up his damaged
glory in Washington, the dictator has
caused a number of American women
to be invited to interview him in his
palace in Rome during the past sum-
mer. These women include writers,
lecturers and society bosses, whose in
fluence on public opinion in ruling
class circles is established. An in
stance is that of a woman who de-
livers lectures on current politics and
legislation to the indulgent wives of
congressman and senators, in the ma
tiona lcapital, who find no time to
read the morning newspaper. She
came back from Rome flattered and
enthusiastic Mayor Walker. But
the political winds now blow cody up
on Fascist propaganda; a presidential
free-for-all is starting, and nobody
wants the Fascist tag on his coat.

ELEMENTS OF POLITICAL EDU.
CATION
CONTINUED from last week.

AS for Czecho-Slovakia its capitalist destinies
are peculiar. AS a result of the imperialist war,
Central and Southeastern Europe, instead of form
ing an economic union have been broken apart
into number of little states, without any co-or-
dination of their national and economic interests.
These states wish to achieve complete economic
independence and strive to isolate themselves from
one another. Each one of them tries to develop
within its borders all branches of industry, nclud
ing those for the development of which they have
not the necessary natural conditions and the pro-
ducts of which they could obtain much more ad-
vantageously by means of well-worked out pol
icy of international commodity exchange This
causes tremendous loss Of productive power.
Czecho-Sloval1ia having also been cut out accord
ing to the design of the Versailles Treaty, has be-
come the possessor of a productive apparatus five
times greater than the needs of her IA million pop
ulation. (Her productive apparatus was adapted
to the service of the whole former Austrla-Hun-
garian monarchy with its go million populaton)
Thus Czecho-Slovalda is in need of markets. which
it cannot find and therefore it cannot get out Of
the situation of crisis
The bourgeoisie, instead Of seeking solution
from the situation of economic isolation by means
of rapproachment with the countries OF the East
and Soviet Russia carries out the demands OF the
Entente decreases its productive apparatus Chrow
ing masses of workers overheard from production.
Thus the rulers of the world are compelled 10
strange that which is the basis OF thelr e&soence
Hence it is absolutely obvious that tne existence
of the bourgeoisie as class, is IN complete con-
tradiction to the development OF 1he productive
forces.

Expert Predicts Wage Slashes

Wage cuts followed by an increase
IN strike activity in the spring of
1923 will break the calm of the truce
between capital and labor, according
to the prediction of C. J. Hill, direc-
tor of the management and labor de-
partment of Babson's statistical or
ganization. Hill's address on the la
Dor and wage outlook for 1928 before
the National Business conference is
an important slant on the situation of
the labor movement coming on the
eve OF the American Federation of
Labor convention in Los Angeles. He
says:
we have been passing through a
period which may properly be term
ed a mOtiOnless labor movement
insofar as any real activity on the
part of labor is concerned. COndi-
tlOns have been more or less stabi-
llzed during the first 6 months of
this year as they relate to wages,
employment and pay-rOlls. No in
dustrial troubles have appeared,
the number of strikes being less this
year than at any time in the past
Ii years. This situation should con-
tinue the remainder of 1927 and in
to the spring of 1928 with only one
depressing factor making itself evil
dent-and that is probably steady,
though not alarming, increase in
unemployment"
The increasing oversupply of labor,
according to Hill, is expected to end
the period of wage stability in the
spring of 1928 when the trend will
take a definite downward turn.

that expose of him. Wheeler, will not be believed
by the people-but he goes too far, he attacks
where there is danger; he apologies, crawls on

and places where there is no need, where there is
no danger but the pictures in his own imaginatons

winch may take place next year we
do not expect serious consequences.

outlook is that the buyers market

to come" 'o
The Sacco-Vanzetti case with It's
worldwide agitation comes in for con.
SIDERABLE attention in Hill's survey
He says:
Because it ceases to occupy the
front pages of the newspapers is
no reason for us to feel that the
case is over and done with. This
is by no means so.
Since all wings of the labor
movement, both conservative and
radical, were sOlidly behind the eff
iOr TO save the two men, we believe
that the case will return to plague
us IN the next period of industrial
unrest: In Europe, where extreme
radicallsm is much nearer the sur
lace than in the United States. we
believe the case will prove a dis
turning factor in the near future.
here IN the United States it will not
IN itself be the cause of labor trou-
pies but once industrial trouble de-
velops from other causes it win

FASCIST EXCITED
OVER INVESTIGATIONS

Washington = (FP)-Secretary of
Labor Davis has not, as was declared
by part of the press, promised to
ask Congress to definitely exclude
members of the Fascist League from
American citizenship. But his refus-
al to condemn the action of one of
his naturalization bureau officials,
who asked % Italian applicants for
citizenship, in a federal court in Bal
tlmore, whether they had taken the
Fascist oath, has aroused storm of
protest among Mussolini's support
erS.
1t was not to be expected that
Davis, who is Pittsburgh banker
first and a Moose lodge promoter sec
ond and secretary of labor third,
would commit any overt act against
Mussolini. He merely sensed the
waning of Mussolini's prestige in
Washington, and declared loudly for
American ideals"
