British Fleet Ready

Nothing was printed about 1t In the
newspapers In Europe, but Britain
managed to get quite fleet together
in Greek waters. with general holl-
day cruise idea, during the troubles
In Austria. The big airplane carrier
Furious, with ten .destroyers, cast an
Choir in Corfu, the northernmost Greek
port, right across the Adriatlc from
the important italian ports of Bari
and Brindisi.
Perhaps there was no connection
official statements mean so little-but
American tourists returning through
northern italy at the time were aghast
at the movement OF Italian troops up
toward the Austrian frontier. In
short, there was every indication OF
trouble, so much SO that there was
widespread rumor In Europe that actu-
ually the announcement of the news
OF the killing of Dollfuss was con-
cealed for at least forty-eight hours.
But there was no popular excite
ment In Italy. 1t was Just "maneuv-
ers." None of the tragic working up
Of the population to fever heat which
preceded the breaking out OF the
World war.
In other words Mussolini had the SIT
uation In his own hands. The italian
people wapld follow him to war In a
moment II he decided that 1t was
necessary. He does not have to resort
to any propaganda In advance. 1t
continues to be the most absolute rule
in modern times. italian after italian,
interviewed by the writer. would de-
nounce most of the other countries
but pinned down to such pertinent
question as to what he thought Of
Hitler, would reply. "AIussollnl knows
all about that. He will decide what
ought to be done

Fort Peck Project

Both army engineers and reclama-
ton officials were startled ut Presi-
dent Roosevelts comment. In his
speech at Glasgow, that some $4,000
acres of land would be irrigated by
water from the Fort Peck project. The
point is that the project was not de-
signed or planned as an Irrigation
project at nil. II was designed for
two purposes. One was flood control.
The other was to provide navigabie
channel for boats and barge lines OH
the Missouri river.
Obviously, engineers and reclama-
ton officials point out, water cannot
be used for both keeping channel at
navIgable depth throughout the length
Of this very long river and for irriga-
tion of some $1,000 acres OF land In
the vicinity of the reservoir.
What they think happened Is that
the President, aghast ait the dust
storms over deserts where fertile farms
usad to be. leaped to the conclusion
that water on the land was far more
imnortant than navigable stream,
especially as most Of the area Is al
rparfv served by more railroad ca
nacIty than there Is any likelihood OF
being tested by bumper freight offer
lngs for years to come.
All Of the other projects which the
President visited on his return trip
we're primarily irrigation projects. Sc
tbere are some who think the Presl
DENT simply made slight slip In dis

Duce Does Not Want War

The most amazing thing about the
alleged threatening war clouds In Flu
rope. from an Inspection of which the
writer has just returned, Is that Mus
solini Is even more firmly In the saddle
than at any time since his amazing
rise to power, and that apparently the
duce does not wish war at this mo-
ment.
So despite all the bad news from
Vienna. following on the heels of the
ability Is that there will be no war for
some little time to come.
Instead OF provoking war; the as
sassination of Dollfuss actually drove
the two most bitter enemies In Eu-
rope-Italy and France-into each
others arms Each was equally deter
mined that Germany should not alb
sorh Austria. 1t Is the first time that
Italy and France have had common
objective for twenty years or more.
leaving out OF the picture the agree
ment which brought Italy into the
l
World war on the side of the Allies.
But let no one think that the tenn
porary agreement of Italy and France
means the beginning Of a beautiful
friendship. The feeling Is still there.
1t Is still nourished by controlled
press in Italy especially and 1t Is apt
| to provoke the next war.
/ Italy still feels that she was badly
cheated at the council table at Yer
sailles. She thinks she got nothing
| like her just deserts. She believes
| France got the lions share.
The most encouraging feature Is
that no other nation agrees with Italy
In this Interpretation. All her neigh
bors to the east think she got fal
more than she deserved.

Water impounded behind big dam

leased. as originally intended. at times
when the water level down stream Is
low. or II can be distributed on arid
land. The food control function would
be served In either event. 1t Is Just
a question of whether the water would
be more valuabe-used for irrigation
than IL used for keeping the channel

When the President realized this, he
decided quickly. his friends here say,
that the drouth aspect was far more
important than the transportation dill

For one thing. they assert, the drouth
situation is new, and very menacing,

would merely be adding something 70

of many observers of the present

fer money abroad for purchase of sill

the passage of the silver act the treas
ury had insisted on a stiff tax being
Included on any profits made on sill

per cent despite the insistenee of the
silver senators that the regular income
taxes would give the government a
considerable revenue from any such
profits
The real cause of the sudden act OF
naturalization was the. discovery by
the treasury that American specula-
tors had found u why to effect pur-
chases on the London market despite
treasury refusal to permit transfer
of American funds to London for that
purpose.
The system was surprisingly simple,
and was being worked In volume right
up to the moment of naturalization.
The point was that certain stocks. In
Guiding international Nickel. had their
registry offices In London. So an
American Spectator. wishing to buy
some silver In London and denied
treasury permission to transfer funds
there. could buy 100 or 1000 or 10,OOt
shares of international Nickel on the
New York Stock Exchange. Then he
could ship the certificates to Londor
direct or by way of Canada, and sci
the stock In London. taking of course
pounds sterling In payment.
The ownership of the stock woulf
be transferred in the London office
and the American Spectator would
have his pounds In London with NJ
strings on them leading back to tn
| American government. So he coult
use those pounds to buy silver.

There were complications enough
before, one of them being that silver
as traded In ut London Is of a
different fineness from silver as traded
In In the United States. Some brok-
ers hold that the international Nickel
route Is still open, despite the ma

But the real objection OF the brokers
Is that spectators In Europe, In Japan
and In China and India are free to buy
silver at the present world price,
counting on the obvious objective OF
not only the United States government
