Appointment TO London

half the home territory of France,
Germany or Spain. There is no place
for Italian emigrants to 60. Besides,
Mussolini wants them to remain Ital-
ianS.
He has his eyes turned on Africa,
particularly on the highlands.
His case is clear: when Italy came
into the war, France and England
promised her certain considerations.
They never were fulfilled. All the
German colonies we're gobbled up as
inundated territory by France . and
England.
France has no excess population for
colonization and the French are Door
colonists.
Mussolini is determined that the
question of mandates must be re-
opened. Italy requires colonies for
her excess population and also be-
cause Italy has no raw materials. no
coal, iron or self-sufficiency in food
To 100000 Italians it looks as if
France is playing the dog in the
manger.
But now comes this Anglo French
pact, a revival of the entente cordiale
Hence Grandi's job. Nothing less
than to drive wedge in this newly
established working relation between
England and France.
In addition, he is to sell the idea
of Italy's claims 100 per cent. He is
the one Italian best fitted to do it.
He Is liked and trusted in London.
He speaks English well. His hand

Italy, Choking With AZ, 900, 900
Inhabitants, Looks to
Colonization

London, Aug. 16. -Signor Dino
Grand, the smiling, suave, polished,
accomplished and popular 35-year-
old lieutenant of Mussolini, is coming
soon to London as Italian ambassa-
dor to Great Britain. And this gives
the lie to the greatest amount of bilge
that has been spilled in European pa
pers in recent years.
1t came about in this way:
Shortly after the Lausanne confer
ence on Germany's debts came to an
end, five Italian ministers of state
resigned their posts. Among them
was Grandi, who had been foreign
minister. The duce took on this job
himself.
The European press at once set off
on false scents. It said the duce was
angry with Grand, because at Laus-
anne he had not secured clean slate
Of interallied debts. That was fiction
on the face of it, because states
man like Mussolini knew that his
young representative could not secure
a clean slate, so long as England and
France did not know what Uncle Sam
would do about war debts.
X + y
Then they said the duce was angry
because Grandi had been kept in ig-
norance of the Anglo-French pact
concluded at Lausanne. Fiction again,
because Mussolini knew that, short
of barging in on conversations be-
tween the French and English,
Grand could not know what they
were up to.
Most foolish Of all, the European
press said Mussolini was jealous of
the growing prestige of his young
lieutenant and so fired him. The an
swer is two-fold: first, that the duce
is so well established he does not
have to be jealous of any of his SUBJ
crdinates; and, second, that the duce
at once named Grandi ambassador
to England.
The bestowal of this job was no
salve for wounded pride and no emp
ty gesture. It was the highest COM
pliment Mussolini could pay to Gran
di. He has given him Italy's most diff
ficult and important foreign post. He
wants at London a man who knows
the mind and plans of Italy's chief
spokesman.
Big politics is impending in the
next few years, and Grandi will play
a large part in it.
Mussolini has made up his mind
that what his country needs and
must have is colonies. Italy must ex-
pand, If 1t is not to choke to death.
With population Of 42,0O0.000-
growing every day-Italy has only

GIVES IMPRESSIONS
OF OLYMPIC GAMES
John w. Reel Describes Interna-
tionaI Classic in Speech
Before KiWanis Club

A spectators impressions Of the
Olympic games were described in a
speech by John w. Reel, city recrea-
tional director, before the Kiwanis
club here Wednesday.
Reel, who has just returned from
the 10th Olympiad at Los Angeles,
Illustrated his remarks with a series
of pictures of the games, many of
which were taken by him.
He described the vast Olympic plant
and told Of the magnitude to which
the international competition had
grown.
Particularly impressive, he said,
was the apparent ease with which
events were won by champion ath-
letes. It was the athlete, who ran
seemingly without effort who came
in ahead rather than the one who
seemed to strain every muscle, the
speaker said.
Rev. Ellis L. Jackson, pastor of the
First Baptist church, was introduced
as new member of the club.
A feature of the meeting was an
fashioned spelling bee, under the
supervision of Miss Elizabeth Jones,
instructor in the Bismarck high
school.
Visitors were: Fred ]. Frederickson
and John D. Gray, both of Valley
City.

Indiana Cuts Taxes
In Half Under Bill

indianapolis. Aug. 16.-(R)-The In.
diana general assembly adjourned
early Tuesday after virtually cutting
property taxes in half.
A bill passed by the legislature and
approved by Governor Harry G. Les
lie limits the tax rate for next year
to $3.50 on each 500 of taxables.
The action, however. has left state
officials with the problem of finding
sufficient funds for governmental ac-
tivities. Tax experts have estimated
that the revenue produced by a tax
of $1.50 will fail by $4,000 900 to meet
expenses of government.
OF each 81 .50 assessed, the state gov
eminent will get Is cents. The re-
mainder is for the expenses of coun-
ties, cities and towns. The levy for
state purposes this year was 20 cents.
While the legislature passed some
economy measures, tax experts insist
they fall far short Of balancing the
budget.
Unsuccessful attempts were made
to establish state personal and in
come corporation tax which would
produce revenue to replace that lost
through enactment Of the $3.50 tax
bill.

DEPRESSION HONEYMOON

New Lexington. Ono matter
what the circumstances, or how low

the way Mervin Miller, Hobson, O.,
figured. So, with little regard for
falling SCOT and discomfort, he and
his bride boarded a gondola of coal
on a fast freight train and COM

They'd still be going if they hadn't
been mistaken for a burglar and
girl friend who had broken from Jail.
They were taken off the train here
and held until identified.

BEARISH CROP REPORT
CUTS COTTON PRICES
Break of $12.80 Per Bale Occurs
During Week-Many Ac-
counts Liquidated.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, September 1.-THE
heavy general liquidation which devel-
oped Immediately after the Government
crop report was supplemented by q
little more Southern hedging and the
decline extended to ITO for December
contracts during the past week. TEis
represented a break of $3.50 per bale
from the peak of the recent bull move
ment and carried the market slightly
below the closing quotation of August
8, when traders we're discounting the
August l crop indication of approx
mately 1906 900 bales.
Pressure subsided at the declines. but
slight rallies were not fully maintained
and traders appeared to be hesitating
between optimistic views of the trade
outlook and uncertainty as to the eff
fects of the increased hedging antici-
pated as the picking season advances.
While hedging was more in evidence
early in the week. offerings from that
source were moderate later and the bulk
of the selling has been attributed to
liquidation of accounts accumulated on
the August advance. Complaints OF
crop deterioration have continued to
reach the trade, but weather conditions
have been considered more favorable
for picking and ginning and it is doubt
full whether there has been much
change in crop ideas, although there
may have been little mort disposition
to consider the possibility of some in
crease in yields should the Autumn
prove favorable.
The report Of the Census Bureau
placing domestic consumption for Au-
gust at 402,601 bales against 278,656
for July showed the anticipated in
crease, while the carded cloth statistics
for August fully confirmed bullish i'm
pressions created by reports of greatly
Increased business last month.

government statistics issued during the

The value Of retail sales in July, re-

such as restaurants, candy stores meat

llshments. however. reported the usual
holiday period of slackness
Car loadings in the five weeks from
August l to September numbered
l96261 cars. or almost 10000 more than
in the preceding five weeks. The gain
was all in the Western division. Ex-
port clearances of wheat in the last
week Of August amounted to 4.197,424
bushels, as compared with 1.843 790
bushels in the corresponding week last
year. Export clearances OF wheat for
the first five weeks since August / are
more than 5000 bushels ahead of the
corresponding period last year.
The rise in wholesale prices Is con-
sidered to be one of the outstanding
favorable events In the Canadian eco

confined to materials such as raw rub
Der, raw wool, silk and cotton, coal,
chemicals, copper, lead. zinc, tin and
certain food commodities, including
wheat, dairy products, eggs and certain
meats.
The aggregate liabilities OF COM

in July, 1881.
Gold production in June set up q
new high monthly record of 270,526
ounces. representing an estimated dollar
valuation of more than s5,5OO,000.
Production of gold in the first six
