Fascist Italy Strives
To Abolish Caste Idea

ROME [P).-In the Fascist leveling-
out process the so-called privileged
classes must learn to mix with hum
bier folk, by order of the party secre-
tary. Achille Starace
Starace has warned that caste bar
riers will not interfere with the selec-
ton of Fascist party leaders.
Particular emphasis was laid on
plans to bring university students into
contact with the people in the field
of labor"
"why should professional men not
have practical experience in the work
they are called upon to direct from
their offices?" he demanded in state
ment given wide publication.
Schools and books are not sufficient
sources Of learning. Engineers, chem
lists, landowners and their kind should
do a period of service in factories or
the field before receiving their titles. "
Mussolini is in full accord with the
pronouncements of Starace.

on the card of an official in the United

Ladies' cards in Washington gen.
orally contain the name of the owner,
her residence and the day on which
she is at home to callers.
The custom of turning down the
corners of cards when a person calls
and does not find the party in is not
in general use in other parts Of the
United States, but it prevails to con-
siderable extent here. 1t has its ad-
vantages, too, and could be adopted
with great convenience throughout the
various cities.
The significance of a card received
with certain of its corners turned down
is: Visite, social call; felicitation, a
visit of congratulation; congo, visit
Of leave taking; coincidence, visit OF
sympathy. Turning down the right
end of the card shows that the visit
is intended for all those receiving.

An appropriation of 100000 pesos

chased $4,000. sacks of the locusts,
collected by farmers along 12.500 miles

The sacks weigh Sc pounds each,

II ONDOlN.- Ilt Dl IIloll AdDOL
Party Conference in Southport
last week witnessed the nearly
- complete defeat of its Left Wing
section by the party machine.
which effectively steamrolled extreme
Socialist amendments under an ortho-
dox party program. The Left Wing
ers are now called the Socialist League
under the Craftsmanship of Sir Stat
ford Cripps, youngest son of Lord
Parmoor. The league takes the place
formerly held by the Independent La
Dor Party before the split which left
the latter an impotent political force
both inside and outside of the House
of Commons.
There were four major issues in
volved in the fight between the party
machine and the Socialist League,
leaders of which comprise the younger
intelligentsia of the Labor party.
These issues were the future of the
House of Lords; the question of CO.
operation with the Communists; the
question of how rapidly the Labor
party should attempt in its campaign
propaganda to urge realization of a
complete Socialist state, and whether
or not Capitalists" should be COM
pensated if and when a socialist gov
ernment nationalized the respective
industries.
Compromise on Issue.
On the House of Lords issue there
was something OF compromise. Left
Wingers wanted the Southport con-
ference to declare for its abolition as
soon as the Labor party formed a
government. After discussion with
the party machine, however Socialist
Leaguers withdrew the amendment to
that effect, in return for the party
dictators' agreement to the principle
that the House of Lords as "a law
making chamber" be abolished dur
ing the lifetime of a Labor govern
ment.
Speaking on the compromise reSolu-
ton, ]. R. Clines. one of the machine
leaders, declared: The House of
Lords cannot be reformed, it cannot be
amended, it must therefore be ended.
As matter of practical politics, how
ever, it was explained during the
course of discussion that the Labor
party at the next general election
would campaign on the issue that the
House of Lords could not be allowed to
reject, mutilate or delay any measures
approved by the electorate. That
proviso, however, is matter of fairly
elastic Interpretation. Machine speak
ers emphasized that the party should
not. during the election, do anything
to raise the direct issue of Labor and
"the crown" or try to employ emer-
gency powers after the election to
abolish the House of Lords, while Left
Wingers contented themselves by ad-
mitting that there was no use reveal
ing what tactics they would advocate
after Labor gained power
Cooperation Is Rejected.
On the same day the conference also
downed the Left Wingers by over
whelmingly rejecting proposals for CO.
operation of any sort with Communists
or Communist organizations, and by
listing organization of alleged Com
munist complexion with which Labor
party members must not associate
For some months the Socialist
Leaguers, stimulated by Sir Stafford
have been urging that the Labor party
once regaining Office. should undertake
to transform Great Britain into 9
complete socialist state within five
years-the legal life Of British gov.

Playing before a packed house,
the Experimental theatre players
more than redeemed themselves
last night from any charge of un-
evenness of performance, giving
one of the finest productions in
their history and showing their real
ability.
The previous night when the
opening production of Sierra's de-
lightful comedy, The Romantic
Young Lady was given, by one of
those queer quirks which some
times occur in the theatre, the
cast gave a somewhat uneven per-
formance, not up to the usual
standard.
Last night the performance was
exceptionally good, characterized by
the SmoothnesS and skill which Ell
Centrans have come to expect from
this group.
Ada BeSSe Beynon played the
part of the romantic young lady
with her customary skill and Aphia
Jackson gave from the beginning
the fine Characterization of the
old servant, Maria Pepe.
The entire cast was excellent
and the production moved swift
