Italy To Use
 Technology
(Continued from Page D


 0 governmental body.
 The new parliament will Do tho natural outgrowth of Premiar Benito Mussoiini's "corporative'' system. Although the premior op. poses a "technocratio dictatorship" he believes in using. every tech- nologieal advantage for the weli- being of the state. The 1884 par; liament while consisting mainly of technologists, will include also professions.
 The present Chamber of Deput- los will bo dissolved either late this year or carly next year, the United Press was informed, and tho now body of tochnieians will replace 1t. The technoeratic body will hardly be c parliament fin tho classical sense of the word. It will be Q group of chosen experts from the 13 federations that compose tho Fascist state, including Industry, agriculture, transport, and com. merce.
 1T am in favor of technology and promote It's progress whenever can," Mussolini said recently. "But to alloW technology to be the gov- erning force would reduce the country to q people of automatons, and machine made characters. Wo must give scope to the greater hu- man values and encourage the arts, education, culture, and mans spiritual attributes.'
 The idea of e legislative body of techniciQns is not entirely new in Italy, as the present Chamber Of Deputies approximates the iden, but 1t serves as n duplication of the National Council of "corporazioni'' or guilds. The new parliament would merge the function of the Chamber and tho National Coun. ty. s beay SSe;,Gn w te tSroe new ssor ,sssa@ ship in the syndicates which com. pose the 13 large federations, and not by the system of universal man.

CLUBS TO POLL MEMBERS ON SUNDAY HUNTS
IRELAND ON THE
 WAY TO FREEDOM
Election This Week Shows Trend of Public
 Sentiment
A SIGNAL VICTORY

As many of the Irish people as believe that they are not inferior to other races and that they should enjoy the right to manage their own affairs, went to the polls this week and said so by their votes. It is admitted that if the system of voting in the United States was In use tfi Ireland De Valera would have carried every voting district in the Irish Free state. It Is too bad that this Is not so because owing to the calibre of the opposi- ton they will continue to harrass, obstruct and annoy the majority so that the best results will not be obtained. Anyway, the election es- tabiished the fact that the Irish are willing to make sacrifices if neces- sary in order to gain independence. Many thought that owing to the depression, which has hit Ireland as well as other countries, De Valera would be beaten, but those who thought that way forgot that the Irish like the Colonists in this country put freedom above all other considerations.
 De Valera has said on many oc- caslons, and others before him made the same declaration, that the trouble in Ireland was not due altogether to whether Britain was governing Ireland well or other- wise, but rather to the fact that the Irish people did not want to be governed from abroad, and that the resentment to foreign rule would be as strong against any other na- ton as 1t was towards Britain. The Irish have no monopoly of thiis feeling. Americans do not have to go outside their own country to And proof of the sacrifices men, and women too, are willing to make to be masters of their own destiny.
 Who knows but what the Irish have been trying to accomplish by force may be won by the ballot.
 The Immigration law in the United States has closed one ave- nue of escape for Irish boys and girls from conditions in the home- lnnd, and something will have to be done besides raising cattle for the foreign market to give them an op- portunity to make a living in their own country. Their. aim Is to do away with the excessive land annu- ities and establish factories here and there In the different cities and villages. Under this plan 1t is es- timated that the country is ca pablo of maintaining comfortably Il population of twenty millions, while under existing conditions less than i've millions are constantly on tho verge of starvation. If left to themselves, tho Irish would soon become friendly allies of Britain. Instead of surly neighbors. Those two peoples have much in common and they should be friends. This Is the aim of DeVaiera and those as- sociated with him, and some of tho 'ablest men in England are in ac- cord with them. Rather strange, that the worst enemies Ireland has are among her own people.

Tor will be constantly in touch with Governor Cross as to the lat- ter's desired financial policy. Dras- tic economy will .be directed by Governor Cross and, at the samo time, Senators Lawlor and Hac- kett will demand n fifty-flfty break on all patronage that will Do made possible through the setting up of tho 1033.34 budget.
 If tho governors policy Is not followed out on tho appropriations by the republicans. tho democrats are prepared to block all appro- priations in the senate. This will bring tho budget work to c stand- still. Therefore, it is cloar to be seen that tho democrats will gain thofr objective. In the meantime the republicans arc now calling for wholesale reductions in tho working staff of tho state highway department. This department is headed by John A. Mcdonald, re. publican. 1iowover, 1t is under. stood that before tho democrats will agroo on c budget for this de- partment thero must be 0 drastic cut In the highway forces.

At the present time the state low prohibits hunting on Sunday. The bill, which was introduced by Representative Liberty of Volun- town, is to be heard before the leg islative committee on fish and game very soon.
 s Six days of hunting arc now ale lowed with Sunday being the only day on which such activities are prohibited. It is understood that certain fish and game clubs in the state want Sunday left open for hunting in view of tho fact that many persons working, such as of. fee employees and the like, who toll six days q week, are unable to use their hunting licenses except on Sunday.
