Portuguese were in direct contact with India

This particular painting is said to have been
a gift from Charles of Spain to his loyal
subjects in the New World. The painting
was placed on the walls of the cathedral of
Cuzco and was thought to have the power TO

power. 1t was held sacred and once every year
it was carried in procession around the city

its power. Today these professions still

The interesting element IN these professions

are the product of the IncaS. These are CT

those which show decided Spanish influence

in a new way which was influenced by their
surroundings
"Our Lady of Victory of Malaga" shows de-

by Maximilian of Austria to Ferdinand and
Isabella and it eventually found its way to
Peru The work on the skirt of the Virgins
dress is incrusted with gold and is called
"estofado" work. The design is rich and
elaborate. The Virgin Inca princess is
another of the curious paintings. Here the
Virgin looks like very young girl dressed in
the Peruvian manner and holds q distaff in
her hand The ancient Peruvian legend is that
the Sun Goddess came from heaven to teach
the Inca women weaving. This legend was in

other collection of Peruvian paintings and art
in either America Europe. 1t is remarkable
as showing an advanced civilization on the
South American Continent Of which nothing
of the kind existed in New England Virginia
or any other part Of the New World until long
afterward.
When Pezzaro in 1926 set cut to conquer Peru
he found the ancient Incas in possession of the

civilization They were rich and their temples
to the Sun God which they worshiped were
lined with pure gold The walls Of the temples
were of shining gold incrusted with precious
stones Their mines were opulent with an
almost inexhaustible supply of rubies and
emeralds which seemed fabulous to the Spanish
conquiStadcrs. and especially so to their friends
in Spain, their mother country. 1t is said that
the captured Inca King was afraid OF being
killed by his captorS and offered as ransom
to fill q room % feet long and higher than

querors took the gold and silver and finally

to gather the treasure that they had heard so
much about brought with them their skill in

two cities became the chief centers for the
building of their rich churches and palaces.
Here was one of the great centers Of the
Catholic religion, under the protection Of the
crown. The Spaniards Christianized the Incas

member of a panel that was right in
the middle of a case. 1t had been con-
tinued from last week. at which time
Judge Given had instructed the jury
to keep open minds toward the case
and return next Thursday"
Finally when all known means OF
finding the man had been exhausted
the case went on to its conclusion with
only IL taleSmen.
Then yesterday after "drunks" had
been tried for several hours the last
bunch was thought in. In the lead was
a famjE:r looking figure, but no one
could place him. Then he said:

ROME, october Premier Mussolini,
who is scheduled to speak tonight
through the Fascist Grand Council at

urge emphatically again that Europe
disarm for her own safety.
In political circles it was also thought
probable the premier would define clear
ly his attitude toward the League Of

said they believed there was an in
timation Italy might possibly announce
her withdrawal from the League.
League Criticized.
Sharp comment on the League and
its failure to achieve disarmament have
recently been made by II Duce. his
ministers and Parliament. The Grand
Council on April 4. said the many in
ternational conferences should cease
and 1t voted to discuss at tonight's
meeting "Italy's position in the League" 4"
MusSolini himself in a recent article
said If Germany withdrew from the
Disarmament Conference it would be a
mortal blow at the organism Of the
League of Nations, already so gravely
compromised by the attitude of Japan
and the reservations Of Italy"
Frequent official utterances. such as
a recent interview by Air Minister 1talo
Balbo in Mussoliris newspaper, have
complained Of the treatment Italy has
had at Geneva Balbo spoke of Italy's
lack of authority" in the management
of the League and other commentators
have spoken of the failure Of the
allies, when the League was formed, to
give Italy any mandates.

There has been a chorus of Italian
complaints against what was called
Frances domination" of the Geneva
society.
For the moment, however. disarma-
ment is said by officials to be Musso-
lini's chief concern. FaScists, in pri-

newspapers in supporting their chief.

The Committee of Nineteen. which is

Approving the committees expression
of regret. M. Benes, Czechoslovakian
delegate, said:
Confidence Is Shaken.
In our meetings heretofore it has
been customary to express our conf
dence that the disputants would observe
their engagements and not aggravate
the situation. Unhappily, events have
deceived cur confidence" The remark
of M. Benes was agreed to by the
Swedish delegate.
As q result of rejection Of the Chinese
request that consideration of the COM
missions report be not delayed, the
committee will call a special meeting
of the Assembly only after the League
Council examines the report. and refers
it to the Committee of Nineteen.
For this reason it may be late No

section of its report, which they said
they regarded as a recommendation OF

Italian and Polish delegations.
