MUSSOLINT SPEAKS OUT

In his interview with Frank W. Taylor,
Jr., on the Abyssinian crisis, printed in
yesterdays Press, Benito Mussolini flat
ly upheld the old doctrine of might
makes right" and inferentially added,
what is the world going to do about it.
He iustifies his contemplated invasion
of Abyssinian territory on the grounds
that such invasions have been made
throughout the centuries by other ma
tions. and therefore two wrongs make a
right" The man who has posed before
the world as wishing Italy to be modern
in every way, trots out the old methods
of the Huns, the Romans and others of
bygone wears. 1t is unfair however to
make it appear that Mussolini is the
sole modern exponent of this method of
expansion, for there are others. To be
blunt about it, Japan is following the
same course in China, except that Japan
is not frank about it.
AS it was an American who was inter-
viewing II Duce, the latter with his Gus
tomary frankness did not hesitate to
point out that the United States has fol-
lowed similar course at times, tact
which many Americans choose to over
look or ignore entirely. California, for
instance was a Mexican province that
was invaded by Americans, conquered
and claimed by them and added to
United States territory. The same thing
is true of New Mexico and Arizona,
which we obtained from Mexico under
very similar conditions.
II Duce charges the United States with
the same policy toward the Confederacy
in the Civil war. Technically he may
be right, but actually he is in error there
for the Union government never recog-
nized the Confederacy as a distinct ma
tion but on the other hand, considered
the seeded states as still a part of this
country, decidedly different situation
from the present Abyssinian matter.
Mussolini means to have Abyssinia
and is willing to take the risk involved
in order to get it. Only the future can
tell the result of his enterprise. He may
not find much opposition from Abyssin-
ian arms, though they defeated Italy
once, but in tackling that country he al
so tackles Dame Nature in one of her
most undesirable localities for the white
mantle equatorial ATTITUDES. II Duce
is willing to take the gamble and it
doesn't seem now that anyone is able to
stop him.
One may not admire the course he has
adopted, yet his frankness is highly COM
mendabe compared to the usual squirm-
ing of statesmen and diplomats.

Bunty promised that she would.
But it was hard when she sat all
alone by herself in the sunshine out
in front of the bungalow not to
jump up and play tag or hop scotch
with the others who were having
such fun. But Bunty kept her
promise. If she saw any Of the
other children running too close to
her she would shout;
Keep away. please, or you'll
catch my cold!"

So they kept away and Bunty
was very lonesome. Uncle Wiggily

for her, but Bunty wanted to play.

UNCLE WIGGILY's SAND BOX

Baby Bunty, the little orphan
rabbit, was sick. She had a bad
cold from playing too much under
Uncle Wiggilys shower bath and
when she awakened in the morning
shifting. snuffing and coughing
Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy said:
I'VE must call Dr.. PosSum."
Yes, we must" said Mrs. Long
ears. Summer colds aren't as bad
as winter colds but still we don't
want Bunty to be sick any longer
than can be helped. So we'll have
DR.. Possum call" -
Its too bad" said Uncle Wiggi-
ly when he heard Baby Bunty was
i'll. II won't go adventuring today
until I hear what DR.. PoSSum says
about Bunty. He may want me to
go to the drug store and get some
extra medicine. Though DR.. Pos
sum has some medicine, like pow
ders and pills. in bag that he
hangs in the curl of his tail"
When Dr. Possum called at the
Hollow Stump Bungalow he found
poor Baby Bunty feeling very un-
happy. One reason why she was
unhappy was because she had
cold. The other reason was be-
cause she wasn't allowed to play
with the other animal children.
Cold Might Spread
But it is best, my dear" said
DR.. Possum that you don't play
with the others when you have a
cold. When you cough or sneeze
you may give Jingle, Jangle, Buster,
Custer or some of the others your
cold and that wouldn't be fair. So
you must stay by yourself until
you are better. 1t is very easy for
one little animal to catch a cold
from another. So you'll have to
play by yourself for a few days"
"Are you going to give me any
bitter medicine?" asked Bunty, and
she made a funny, crooked face as
if she already tasted it.
mo medicine for you'll" laughed
the jolly animal doctor. "Just keep
warm and stay out in the sunshine
and fresh air. Fresh air and SUM-
shine are the best medicine for

sand can't catch your cold nor the
box either. I'll do it."
It was easy enough for Uncle
Wiggily to get a large shallow box
for Bunty, but it wasn't so easy to
get the sand. There was no sand
near the bungalow. Uncle Wiggily
didn't want to go all the way to
the seashore for sand and at sever
al stores where he went they had
no sand that would be clean and
good enough for a little sick rabbit
girl to play with.
Dear mel" said Uncle Wiggily to
himself as he tried in many places
to get sand for Bunty's box but
couldn't, what am / to do2 My
little orphan rabbit will be very
disappointed"
So Uncle Wiggily hoped around
and around trying to find some
sand, but he couldn't and he was
feeling very unhappy when, all of
a sudden q very teeny weeny voice
asked: whats the matter?"
Lots is the matter" said Uncle
Wiggily. It can't get any sand. +"
And a moment later something
happened. I'll tell you about it to-

NEW YORK, July 11.-Save the
gigolo industry, no modern enter
prise has shown the deflationary
effects of the depression more
markedly than the country club.
Up to the stock market crash,
country clubs were in their great
est glory. They mushroomed over
night all over the landscape.
There were instances in the
hoity-toity zones where initiation
fees and club. dues represented a
small fortune. From their original
cost when golf made it's advent a
generation ago, the paraphernalia
of the game skyrocketed several
hundred per cent and continued to
soar.
Votaries thought nothing of pay
ing 81 and IS apiece for clubs and
81 for balls. Today the papers are
flooded with ads of sacrifice sales
clubs at S193 and allegedly good
balls at 10 cents. Initiation fees
are abandoned and reduced mem
berships are solicited from hoi pol
loi.
I know a barber who had the
Sunday morning rights at a
swanlzy Long Island country club.
He made more these five hours
than he made all week at his shop.
What happened to country clubs
has devastated most social clubs.
Anyone with the price can get in
and no questions asked.

HOPEFUL FOR SOLUTION

1t Is to be hoped the proposed three
cornered meeting between the board of
supervisors, SERA officials and the
county relief committee, will be able to
reach some satisfactory agreement on
the veXatious matter of caring for uneln-
ployables in this county.
The supervisors have balked at accept
ing mandatory order from the state
SERA that an item of S165,000 be in
cluded in the county budget for care of
such unemployables in the next fiscal
year. To do this, the supervisors assert,
would mean higher taxes, something
neither they nor the taxpayers want.
This is aside from the natural resent
ment felt by the supervisors at being
dictated to by an outside agency.
There is wide discrepancy in the
total of unemployables as fixed by the
SERA and by the supervisors, the form
er setting approximately 800 as the fig
ures while the INDECENT officer of the
county places the number actually en-
titled to be cared for by the county as
somewhere around a score.
The relief committee appears to be
undertaking the task of bringing the
supervisors and SERA toward an ad-
justment, and for this effort alone they
are entitled to be given much credit.
Such moves usually are thankleSS ana
more than likely to place the mediators
in the role of innocent bystanders, who
generally get it in the neck.
We believe there is one basis on which
all three agencies can agree. That IS,
that no person honestly entitled to relief
and deserving of it, should be denied it,
and that no person should be permitted
to "chisel" on relief, obtaining it when
he neither deserves it or is not entitled to
it. 1t appears to be a matter of decid-
ing who is actually an unemployable and
who is not, and with due consider
alton for the taxpayer who must foot the
bill, making provision for those entitled
to it.
The people should have confidence
that the three agencies are trying their
level best to do the right thing and in
our opinion such feeling does general
ly prevail in the county.
