ROME, Italy.-It is women and
children first" In the Fascist corpo-
rative state. The Black Shirt regime
is determined to improve the Italian
people at the very source of their life,
and laviSheS on infant and maternal
welfare at least as much effort and
expense as 1t does on any other phase
Of its health program. The budget
of the ministry of the interior for the
approaching fiscal year provides for an
appropriation of S3,250,000 for this
work.
The governments efforts to improve
the well being of mothers and chill
dren are carried out through the Ma
tional Institute for the Protection of
Mothers and Infants, under the direc-
ton Of the ministry of the interior.
The Chamber of Deputies has just
passed law to reorganize this institute
with view to making it more efficient.
The number Of agencies grouped un-
der the institute will be reduced. In
stead of the 38 now represented on the
national council, there will be 13. and
instead of the 20 on the provincial
federations, there will be only g. The
Central Executive Committee will be
reduced from to members. It is
hoped the smaller directing committees
will operate more efficiently.
Infant mortality in italy has declined
since 1925 from $4,000 to $1,000, ac-
cording to government statistics. This
is decrease of % per cent. In the
same period the number of children
under years of age to die each year
has fallen from 217,000 to 176,000, or
by 18 per cent, and the deaths of wom-
en- in childbirth have declined from
3,111 to 1900, or by 6 per cent.
The national institute hopes to ac-
complish more work this year than last.
although it will have less money at it's
disposal officials believe that the ex-
perience of the last few years will en-
able them to operate more econom-
ically.
During 1882 the institute built 43
new day nurseries for children under
years old, 1l6 for older children, 265
consulting clinics and 316 maternal and
infant refectories.
The governments policy for the i'm
mediate future at least will be to con-
centrate its efforts on obstetrical clin-
les and the care of children 3 years
of age/ This tendency Is apparent In
the figures for the Institutes activities
in 1881 and 1882.
The total number Of persons helped
by the institute increased from 1881
to 1882 from 232,103 to 268, 8,787, or by
Is per cent. The number of day nur-
series for children Under 3 increased
from 6,225 to 13.804, or by 121 per
cent. The number of kindergartens
for children from to 6 increased from
1883 to 48,715, or by 512 per cent.
The peripatetic schools for child care
also were reorganized last year. The

world Her ships, therefore, may have
less need for fuel-carrying capacity than

far from one of our own naval bases.
This and other varying conditions re-

When the present program Is COM

1886. the date Of the expiration of the
London treaty. On the same date, if
England continues her annual building
programs about as at present, she will
have provided for approximate treaty
strength, and Japan has already under
taken a program to insure her being up
to the maximum strength allowed by
the treaty. We are not in race. how

be. In 1885 the nations will again have
the opportunity to discuss naval limi-
tation. and If We shall have then. built
or under construction. a Navy acord-
ing to our allotment. we shall have the
most potent means to avert new and
unlimited competition in naval build
ing.
What we are doing now is to bring
our own naval force into balance
with itself and with other navies To
continue markedly inferior would be
much like carrying $4,000 worth of in
surance on a $4,000 building-eco-
nomlcal but a dangerous risk.
To the Navy we are adding the ele-
ments of strength that it needs. Among
the 80 ships that will be built at the
Presidents direction are two aircraft
carriers of 10000 tons each. These are
not as large as the Saratoga and Lex
ington, already built, but they will sup

defense. We have two long coast lines.

1922 in 1881 to 193,038 in 1892 The
number OF visits to adolescents actually
fell from 256,572 to 1928, or by IA

The institute seeks to coordinate
private charities and to direct their
work into what it considers are the
most useful activities. The govern
ment has issued regulations, enacted
into law, covering a wide range of
subjects in connection with the well

ceeds of the tax on bachelors Is set
aside for the institute.
Three types of services are performed
by the institute: 1t directly studies
the condition of mothers and children
and seeks the best methods for improv-
ing them; it inspects agencies which
care for women and children, and it
conducts an intensive propaganda.

PARIS, France-France is about to
attempt to revise the entire structure
OF its foreign trade, according to de-
clsion just taken by the government.
If the plans are ever carried through,
the countries whose exports to France
will be hardest hit are Germany, the
United StGtes and Spain, which now
sell much more to France than they
buy from it.
An effort will be made to get rid OF
the most-favored-nation clause and
substitute reciprocity.
Adopt Import Quotas.
At presence France. in addition to its
high bargaining tariffs, has adopted, as
an alleged defense against falling cur
rencies like the pound and the dollar,
a system of import quotas covering
roughly half of the country's total i'm
ports. These quotas have been allo-
Gated heretofore in proportion to the
average of imports over the last three
wears for each of the countries con-
cerned.
One-fourth of these proportional allo-
cations will now be maintained, it Is
declared, but the other three-fourths
will be suspended and will be reallo-
Gated on q reciprocity basis.

WILL SPEED MILK
SALE AGREEMENTS
Farm Administration Plans
Early Action on Detroit
and Other Cities.

By the Associated Press.
Detroit. Philadelphia and q group Of
California cities were assured by the
farm administration. today that every
thing possible would be done to speed
action on milk-marketing agreements.
Representatives of several of the cities,
who had warned that delay might jeop-
ardize the programs, were waiting, how
ever, for something definite to happen
at the department.
Detroit's case is one Of the most
acute. The hearing on the Michigan
City's proposed agreement was held
said the price to the producer was
raised July 20 in expectation Of a
speedy decision.
Detroiters Seek Action.
Several weeks have gone by, and the
Detroiters are still being shunted from
Office to Office in the Department Of
Agriculture. Members Of the delega-
ton said yesterday they had been
promised action in hurry, but that
the price paid the producer might have
to be reduced If 1t was not forthcom-
ing
This action, they said. probably would
create a tense situation in the Detroit
area, but that buyers could not afford
to pay the increased price much longer,
unless the agreement went into effect.
The Philadelphia hearing was on
June 10, and those for the four Cali
fornia areas, Los Angeles, San Diego,
San Francisco and Oakland, in the
periods between July 10 and July IA.
Additional briefs, suggested amend
ments and protests were filed in a
Today period subsequent to the open
hearing, and the record closed.
Tired Of Waiting.
Members of the Philadelphia group
said that in anticipation of a decision
by the Farm Administration they had
persuaded New Jersey authorities to
postpone action affecting milk in ter
ritories adjacent to Philadelphia. The
New Jersey Milk Board, they added. had
grown tired of waiting and had decided
to go ahead with its program.
Members of the California group are

CHICAGO, August II R.-Leaders

Washington, were prepared to ask the
administration today to do something
at once regarding its proposed relief
program for milk producers.

ducers' Federation adjourned two-day

He said but one marketing agreement
had been signed while a hundred milk
markets are clamoring to be set in
order"
Accompanying the dairymen on their
mission, which they said was not for
the purpose of opposing the admins
