ment faces.
The standard Of living in
Italy has already been depressed
to the danger point and Is in
imminent danger of further
decline.
II the trend is not checked,
economic security will go and
with it political security also.
The two are ineXtricably woven.
The collapse of economic Sc
curity would not inconceivably
carry with it the fall of FaSciSm
and the dictatorship.
Italy is desperately in need of
colonies that are rich in agri.
cultural, industrial and mineral
resources.
The great economic depres-
sion, which set in elsewhere in
1929, hit Italy two years earlier.
Since then, it has rested with
crushing weight on Italian
economic life.
DENSE POPULATION
The n tional deficit has
grown steadily in recent years.
Wages, already low, were again
cut 10 per cent in 1884. But
there has been a commensurate
reduction in rent and the cost
of living.
In the industrial centers of
Milan and Genoa, skilled labor
is paid at the rate of only II
cents an hour. The forty-hour
week adopted in 1882 has been
reduced in certain industries to
a thirty-hour week.
Taxation has reached a satura-
ton point. The national debt
is enormous and the trade bal.
ance continues unfavorable. The
lire, stabilized at too high a level,
grows steadily weaker.
Meantime, the birth rate in
Italy continues unchecked. In
deed the pressure of population
on the limited geographic terri
tory becomes annually more
severe.
Italy is about twice the size
OF New England and contains
live times as many people.
In 1884 the total population
of Italy was 42,217,0OO-an
average density of 352 per
square mile as against Alb in
continental United States in
1880. Much of the 1875 per
cent of so-called arabic land
would be classified by the New
Dealers of this country as mar.
gipal land. There is little waste
land left, so tremendous have
been the irrigation projects for
many years.
Italy has almost no coal, iron,
petroleum or cotton. Yet her
industrial development depends
on these raw materials, as does
also the employment of a large
part of her population.
Abyssinia is rich in the raw
materials which Italy requires
in coal, iron, rubber and cot
ton. 1t is also believed that
oil will soon be developed in
Abyssinia in vast quantities.
Thus clearly and concisely did
Prof. Lingelbach assemble the
salient facts which illuminate
the conflict between Italy and
Abyssinia, and prove the wis
dom of President Roosevelt's re-
fusal to permit the United
States to become involved in
the quarrel.
The distinguished member of
the faculty of the University of
Pennsylvania was not pleading
1taly's case nor attempting to
excuse her aggression. He was
simply trying to lay a founda-
ton of facts on which could be
built an enlightened public
opinion regarding the increas-
ing STRAIN in the relations
between Italy and Abyssinia.

- ~ - N$sSNN~ -
Some one has said that there
are three sides to every ques-
tions-"Your side, my side and
the right side"
At the Institute Of Public
Affairs, now in its ninth annual
session on the campus Of the
University of Virginia, timely
subjects of political, social and
economic importance are dis
cussed in an effort to light the
way to the right side by develop
ing the salient facts bearing
upon each subject.
OF the round-table confer
ences which have been organized,
one Of the most interesting is
that on European Relations"
This discussion is sponsored by
the Rotary Club of Virginia.
Recent dispatches from Rome
appear to confirm the predic-
tions made at the opening Ses-
sion of this discussion by DR..
William E. Lingelbach, OF the
University of Pennsylvania. His
subject was Italy Seeks Sc
curity Through Colonial Expan-
SION"
At a time when the American
public was led to believe by
European commentators that
Mussolini was bluffing, that he
did not intend to take control
of Abyssinia, that the League
would stop him, that the United
States would Invoke" the Kel.
1ogg Peace Pact against him,
Professor Lingelbach was con-
filming his examination of the
question to the realm of facts,
which are indeed stubborn
things"
To the question, els the Duce
bluffing?" this authority an
Swered:
'In the light Of the evidence
at hand, 1 believe he is in deadly
earnest"
And so it appears from recent
dispatches from Rome which re-
port Mussolini suiting the
action to the word by send
ing to East Africa "the grim
and costly military expedition"
which he has organized for that
purpose.
ECONOMIC PRESSURE
Instead of lamenting the
whole affair as another evidence
Of "the madness of a mad
world" instead of attributing
the expedition solely to a lust

sor Lingelbach gave a picture of
the present predicament of
Italy that the evangelical dab
blers in foreign affairs have yet
to draw. He admitted that
minor factors which might have
influenced MuSSolini's decision
were his desire to unity national
sentiment behind the govern
ment and to live up to its Oft
repeated claim that Italy has a
right to a colonial empire" and
that her manifest destiny de-
manded that she take "the her.
itage of the Caesars"
But behind all these factors,
he explained, "of basic signifi-
canoe is the pressure of eco
nomic necessity-a condition
that underlies the desperate
struggle to maintain a standard
of living commensurate with the
demands and ideals of a great
European people"
