worlds economic problems, they are
the first step.
Without the United States,
Mussolini said earnestly. The dis
armament conference would be a
/ failure-just as SO many other con-
ferences have been failures on this
side of the Atlantic"
The Duce dressed in white, ap-
peared relaxed as he sat at his desk
in his private office, a room about
the size of a city lot, in the Palazzo
Venezia. The desk lamp threw into
sharp relief his striking face and
big white encircling eyes. 1t was
7:30 in the evening, and Mussolini
had just concluded receiving a
group OF 100 Rotarians. He toyed
with a pair Of shears throughout
the conversations, his small serpent
ring attracting attention.
The United States" he resumed
slowly, "is the most powerful coun-
try in the world It's influence is
bound to tell"
The premier pursed his lips and
nodded his head seriously as he
fixed staring eyes on his inter-
viewer.
Must Be Insistent
The decision to be represented
and TO take an active part in the
proceedings is the greatest concrete
step disarmament has bad.
American can put it over by
pounding with hammer blows until
disarmament is an accomplished
fact.
This has got to be-"
The Duce paused a moment. He
appeared to be seeking to choose
his English words carefully as he
continued:
There is no other road if west
ern civilization is to live. AS we
stand before 1892, we are facing q
great uncertainty. On our decision
depends the future Of the world.
IF we decide for peace, we will
have saved humanity. If we de-
eide for war, we will plunge the
world into chaotic disaster"
In response to my query as TO
whether President Hoover's mora
torium proposal had yet shown any
benefits and how far it constituted
a solution TO the present economic
4 crisis, Mussolini replied:
Already the restorative effects
of President Hoover's proposal for
moratorium have made them
selves evident. Unemployment is
decreasing in Germany and there
are signs Of resumption. The same
is true in Italy and even in the
United States. England is slow in
starting, but the way is now open
and there is a promise of normal
cy.
we even think we are much
worse off than we really are II
takes some time for US really to be-
lieYe our eyes that things are get
ting better because we have beer
thinking negatively all the time and
living in low morale with nothing
but depression in our minds. II
takes us some time to get over that
but once we get our confidence back
we will lift our horizon and see a
brighter future.
Strong Economic Point
Il do not think Mr.. Hoover's pro-
posals are the final solution. They
are the first step. Others must
come and almost everyone by this
time is beginning TO realize that
disarmament is the overshadowinp
issue"
Mussolini then pointed TO what
he regarded as the fruits TO be
gained through a successful disarm-
ament conference at Geneva.
The great powers" ne said. "can
get relief in disarmament. It is the
one place where budgets can be
sliced without affecting the vel
tare and happiness Of a nation. n

being generally understood that all

from an economic viewpoint, dis
armament is a pressing necessity
and since the average nation spends

Children On Wheels

The chance of an automobile accident IS much
greater if the driver is under twenty than when ne
or she ssover thirty according to statistics compiled
by one Of the large accident insurance companies.
The records Of some four million licensed automobile
drivers were examined and it was found that by Tar
The highest percentage of accidents occurred when
children under age We're driving a car.
There are still good many states and commun-
tiles where very little or inquiry is made into the
qualifications Of anyone who wants to drive car La
the majority of the states today licenses are required
but the examinations and driving tests vary And
there are still great many places in which any child
who is physically able to hang on to the steering
wheel ard reach the pedals is allowed to drive.
Of course, the earlier in life one learns to drive
the more confidence the motorist acquires and the
better heeor she IS likely to be time goes on But
we think there IS great deal of wisdom in the law
which obtains in some states, under which no one
under eighteen may be licensed to drive, and then on
" after severe road test Of ability La order to learn
to drive before applying for license young people
in states where this law obtains must always have
with them on the front seat experienced licensed
driver.
There will always be parents who will let their
children talk them into taking out the car, whether
really fit to drive it or not and children will always
want to get out on the road and "step it, That is

FRAUD

A Florida man shipped a carload
of oranges to produce dealer in
Virginia. The dealer sent the shipper
a check for $3.50. The Florida man
invoked the. recently-enacted Federal
Produce Agency Law aad hailed the
dealer into the Federal court. The
proceedings disclosed the fact that the
MT proceeds of the sale of the oranges
was nearer $500 than $3.50. The court
ordered the deale- to pay the shipper
an additional $46o, with interest, and
to pay it before November or go to
Jail.
1t looks as if there is at last way
in which shippers of farm products
can get the money due them. State
and local laws don't protect them ;
they operate in favor of the local
dealer and against the shipper from
another state. The Federal courts are
not subject to local influences, and the
new law seems to have teeth in it.

EDUCATION

We spend more money for educa-
ton than for anything else, but there
are still hundreds of thousands, if not
millions, of American grown-ups who
have never learned to read or write.
The death the other day of Thomas
Young, whose occupation was that
of public writer" in a good-sized
town close to New York city, revealed
the fact that hundreds of persons in
White Plains who could not write
were in the habit of going to him to
write their letters for them.
In New York State alone, by the
Census of 1920, there were 425,000
persons over 10 years old who could
neither read nor write, and all but
10000 Of those were over Fl. Nor
we're they all foreigners; more than
10000 were native-born whites. The
number is probably smaller now; the
1890 Census figures on illiteracy are
not yet available. But there were more
than three million white folks over
ten years old, and nearly two million
negroes, who cculd not read in any
language, in 1920, and the probability
is that there are still three or four
million illiterate citizens.

BUILDING

Building operations in the United
States go by fits and starts. One year
there will be building boom, the
next year a depression. One reason
is the difficulty of financing the spread
between FIRST mortgage money and the
building owners capital.
Some Chicago builders have plan
whereby the people concerned in the
building industry do this financing
themselves. Contractors, supply manu-
facturers, dealers in building materials,
architects, and labor are to take part
of their pay in junior mortgage GER
tihcates, to be paid off in instruments.
This plan will not reduce wages or
profits, but generally adopted will
make building operations independent
of general financial conditions.

Back To Small Towns

A large number Of those living in cities are turn
ing to the possibility of reestablishng themselves in
small towns, according to O. NJ Johnson economist,
Of the Department Of Agriculture who explains:
'FThe movement from cities to farms has been as
crbed largely to business DEPRESSION many city resi-
dents feeling that they could at least produce much of
their food supply in the country, while if they
manned in the city and lost their positions there would
BE less to fall back The same feeling Of compare
tive security combined with the belief that living is
cheaper in small towns, probably is responsible for
the apparent increase in interest in moving to the
smaller towns. Residents of the small towns usually
raise small gardens and provide part of their own
living in this way"

The announcement by the Depart
ment of Agriculture that the Federal
sugar cane experiment station at Canal
Point, Florida, has developed a cane
which yields a third more sugar to
the acre than any previously known
variety, and is at the same time re-
sistant to cane diseases, is of in1por-
tance. to everyone-in the United States.
We consume several times as much
sugar as any other nation in the
world. Our Sugar producers have had
difficulty in competing with foreign
sources. The sugar industry in LOUIS
lana was practically wiped out few
years ago, by plant diseases; the Miss
issippi food Of 1923 almost finished
the job. But the introduction of a
new type of sugar cane from Java,
known as Up. %. ]. -2l3," has reju-
venated the Louisiana sugar industry,
which is now producing five times as
much sugar as in 1926.
The new cane developed in Florida,
called &C. P. 8O7" yields ton more
sugar to the acre Of cane than does
"P. 0. J. 213." That should mean,
eventually, both a reduction in cost
of sugar to the consumer and better
profits to the grower.

REFORM SCHOOL
SITE SOUGHT

Seven sites are now under con-
sideration for the proposed $780,
900 Maryland Training School for
Colored Girls, upon which con-
struction work probably will begin
in the fall, it has been announced
by DR.. George G. Finney. chair
man Of the board Of managers
Of the institution.
While the board as whole is
studying sites for the new school,
individual members are touring
nelghboring States and inspecting
similar institutions, taking note
of details of structure and man
agement. DR.. Finney pointed out
that it is planned to seek site
outside of Baltimore, but near
enough to enjoy advantages Of
city water and other modern con-
veniences.
Study is also being made of
the recommendation Of the Child
Welfare League of America, in a
recent survey, that the new
school be built on the cottage
plan. While this would increase
cost of operation, it was pointed
out, it would make for better
supervision of the inmates. An
other recommendation OF the
lague which is being studied is
the employment of a colored
superintendent and staff for the
institution.
The school. for which provision
was made at the last session OF
the Legislature, will receive $18,-
900 a year for maintenance, plus
$3.50 for each committed inmate.
