ALLEN INDORSES
SWIM CAMPAIGN
Officials and Citizens Join
in Commencing Star
Y. N. c. A. Drive.

Prompt Endorsement of the learn
to-swim campaign of The Star and
the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation, announced in yesterdays
Star, came today from prominent
officials and private citizens, with Dis
trict Commissioner George E. Allen
among the first to voice commenda-
tion.
Il am glad to indorse the joint cam
paign of The Star and the Washing
ton Y. M c. A to teach the men Of
Washington how to swim.
This is a very commendable move
in the direction of accident preven-
ton and life conservation apart from
its wholesome health and recreation
aspects.
Nom Swimmers a Menace.
"If more Of our men and boys knew
how to take care Of themselves In
the water there would, / am con-
vinced, be far less drownings. Every
non swimmer hazards not only his
own life when he indulges in water
sports, but. in case of accidents,
causes others to risk their lives in an
endeavor to save him. Thus he is not
only unfair to himself and his loved
ones, but menace to others.
Il would like to see as many OF
these non swimmers removed from
this potential hazard list as possible
and / believe The Star and the Y. M.
C. A can do real service to the
community by aiding in this safety
drive"
Under The Stars arrangement with
the Y. NJ. c. A, a course of six free
lessons for non-sWimmers l8 or older
will be- given in the mems pool OF the
Central Y. NJ. c. A. next week, start
ing Monday morning, June IL.
Crawl Stroke to Be Taught.
A staff of expert instructors certified
as swimming tutors by the Y. M. c. A.
and the American Red Cross Will teach
the men the American crawl stroke,
using the most modern method OF
class instruction. Under this system.
1t is claimed. the average novice can
learn to swim within a week-nOt ex-
pertly perhaps but sufficient to take
care of himself in event of an accident
or to enjoy water sports this Summer
without danger of drowning.
Applications for the course began
to come in to the Y. NJ c. A. lobby
registration desk not long after yester-
terday's Star was delivered TO the city s
homes, and they were being received
at rapid rate today. Because of the
expected demand for the lessons. ap-
phcants are urged TO lose no time in
enrolling.
To register. clip the coupon pub
liShcd herewith and present it TO regis
tration officials at the Central "Y''
Building. Eighteenth and G streets.
The coupon will be exchanged for an
official instruction card. There are no
fees or other obligations of any kind.

II. ITALY.

II. ITALY.
BY A. E. STUNTZ.
~ ONE CP).-A determined effort
by the Italian government to
II make Italy feed and supply its
i population of 42.667 .00e is be-
hind a widespread increase in
the use of labor-saving machinery
throughout the nation.
Father OF this campaign for self
support as well as directing general
of a drive for an increased popula-
ton to keep consumption mounting,
MusSolini has shown himself ready
at times to demonstrate personally
how his people can get the most out
of mechanical aids.
No Fear Of Machines.
The Fascist regime does not fear
possible encroachment of the ma
chine on the rights of working men.
MuSSolini's answer to this doubt has
been that the corporate state can so
discipline and distribute the use of
machinery that it will not take food
from manual workers.
MusSolini recently declared:
The machine can subjugate the
individual but it will be bent to the
will of the state, which will recon-
duct it to the service of man as an
instrument of liberation, not an ac-
cumulator of miseries."
Protected by high tariff duties and
ct inn tor i,, Atl1
duction campaigns, Italian machine
and tool production has shown
decided jump in the past two years.
ii Duce Shows How.
II Duce himself piloted one of the
first of an army of Italian tractors
called into being and into service
almost simultaneously in answer to
his decision to make the bitter Pom
tine marsh tract habitable and pro-
ductive.
In line with this stimulation Of
the use of farm devices the govern
ment arranged a concourse of inven-
tors of electrically driven agricultural
work savers.
The Italian peasant benefits great
ly in II Duce's desire to mechanic
and moderniZe Italy.
Gasoline-a precious fluid to the
motorist because Of import duties
and sales taxes-is sold at cost to
the farmer with a tractor. This IS
about a third what it costs the auto
mobile owner.
In the big agricultural consortiumS
engaged in government-supp
reclamation and reorganization work
the machines necessary for conver-
sion of the land are rented or sold
the landholder at minimum costs
and in some cases loaned

MARKET NOT TO BE LOST

China Will Continue U. s. Wheat
Purchases, Despite Duty.
PORTLAND, Greg. June (P.-
The Chinese market for foreign -four
may decline. but will not be totally
lost despite imposition of an import
duty of 20 to 25 per cent, reports
from China indicated yesterday.
China undoubtedly will continue to
import quantities of wheat to mix
with its own wheat for flour manu-
facture, said report from Julian
tache in China. to the Portland once

of the Bureau of Foreign and Do
meStic Commerce.
Alarm was expressed by wheat pro-
ducers. exporters and flour millers
when the Chinese government turned
down the proposed s4OOO,000 flour
loan from the United States
Although efforts are understood to
be under way to effect a change of
mind on the part of the Chinese
in regard to the -four deal, it IS
felt that the government export sub
sidy plan will permit expectation of
wheat by private interests to China
for milling purposes.
