Italy Favors Areas
With High Birth Rates

ROME P1.-Mussolini has issued a
warning to Italian villagers and
townsmen that they must produce
children in keeping with the spirit
Of the regime, or see their homeplaces
sink back into the soualor Of the past.
The warning was issued through
the national Balilla Society head,
Renato Ricci.
He proclaimed that the government
was becoming exasperated with the
tact that birth statistics in not q few
Communes have not in any way COM
forted the directors Of the regimes
Topographic campaign"
Ricci announced that henceforth
the government would conflne its
benevolent and educational activities
to communities where the birth-rate
coeffcient was not less than 20 per
thousand.
He explained this meant the gov
eminent would choke OF funds for
the building of balilla, or youth, head
quarters. Fairgrounds, physical and
civic training camps, in all those COM
munitieS which refused to obey n
Duceis orders for a bigger numerical
nation.
MuSSolini has insisted that the Ital-
ian nation should number 10000, 900
by 1e43.
The youth organizations with q
present enrolment of 3,500.0oo. were
organized to take infant Italy liter
ally from the cradle into the ranks
of national responsibility, via aca-
demic, athletic, houshold and military
training. The above total figure in
ciudes both boys and girls.

LampOOns of Hitler
Used to Boost Nazis

BERLIN R.-The lampoons OF
Adolf Hitler by American and other
cartoonists are being turned into bou-
quets for the Naz faithful.
Ernst HanfStaengl, Harvard alum

believes every knock is q boost and
that the worse the output Of foreign
caricaturist-critics the better propa-
ganda it makes.
So he has collected more than 100
cartoons of the fuerhrer in foreign
publications and, with the approval
of his chief, has put them into neat
and popular book.
Hitler is said to have advised
Hanfstaengl in picking out most "un-
true-to-life" drawings.
The two are reported to have coined
the slogan that people must be ac-
Quainted with the opinion Of other
countries and must be strong enough
to stand it."
The most striking caricatures Of
Hitler in relation to the most impor-
tant political events Of 1884 are ar
ranged chronologically. Thus, car
toons Of the fuehrer as child, peace
angel, q snake trying to conjure the
League of Nations and King Kong
are reproduced.

Many Major Proposals May Be Crowded

Banking Committee, who is often at

that the sentiment among a large
element in Congress for a central bank
is giving much support to the banking

Present chances are against the

Bankhead bill to purchase homes for
farm tenants, imitation measures, and
the Guffey coal bill.

advertised changes in neutrality laws.
As If there we're not enough other
uncertainties in the legislative situ-

possibilities which may almost COM
pletely upset calculations.
If the Supreme Court, before IL
recesses June 3, should strike at the
validity of vital phases of the N. R. A.
and the recovery act, an entirely new
program on the N. R. A. either will
have to be worked out or this agency
allowed to lapse when the law expires
June 10.
If Congress should muster enough
votes to pass a bonus bill, even
though it should be vetoed, then, il
the ideas Of the administration as
heretofore voiced through Henry
Morgenthau, jr, Secretary Of the
Treasury, are to be carried out, new
tax legislation will be devised. And
with the Treasury itself urging higher
inheritance taxes, with many members
Of both houses favoring higher in
heritance7 and income taxes, with
| Senator La Toilette, as he has already
made plain anxious to lead a fight
for higher taxes on estates or in
! heritances and higher taxes on in
comes, Congress would plunge deep
into the swirl Of share-the-wealth
PHILOSOPHERS.
Before the struggle is over, it might
develop that Senator Huey P. Long
will find himself with lot Of company.
Beyond question, If general tax legis-
lation is opened, it not only will mean
months of disputation, but it will tend
to crowd several other major propo-
sitions of the boards.

TINE delegates of the United States
to the Pan-American CONNER
Il cial Conference at Buenos
Il Aires sailed last week from
New York. The conference Is
the outcome Of a resolution adopted
by the representatives Of all the
American Republics at Montevideo in
December, 1893. which requested the
Argentine government to convoke q
conference "of a purely commercial
chs racter" for the purpose Of dealing
with the following subjects:
i. Port facilities for the entry, load
inf, unloading and departure Of ships
and aircraft.
2. Reduction Of rates for custom
house services.
3. Improvement of land, maritime.
huvial and aerial communications.
4. Clearance facilities.
5. Animal and vegetable sanitary
police regulations.
6. Repression of smuggling.
Z. Simplification Of customs proce-
dure.
8. Tourist facilities.
8. Uniform classification of mer-
chandise
Topic No. 2 of this agenda has been
the subject of much misunderstand-
ing. In the original English text OF
the agenda topic No.. was errone-
ously given as reduction of customs
duties which, naturally, implied Q
downward revision of tariffs.
The original agends in Spanish, as
approved by the Montevideo confer
ence, spoke of reduction of ''tasas
aduaneras, and in Spanish "tasas
aduaneras" cannot possibly be mis-
taken for customs duties or tariffs.
If the latter had been meant, the
words 'impuestos de exportacion
Importation" "derechos aduaneros," !"
"aranceles," ETC., would have been
used. "Tasa aduaneras" means, ex-
clusively, rates in connection with GUS
tom house services.
Correspondents Surprised.
Nevertheless, the English version of
the agenda, instead Of following this
language, read specifically reduction
of customs duties" Thus, newspaper
correspondents in Buenos Aires, who
had been given the impression that
the forthcoming conference would dis
cuss q revision Of tariffs, were con-
siderably surprised when they were
handed the final and corrected agenda
and failed 10 find anything tn 1t re-
lating to q reduction Of customs duties.
Furthermore, they registered their sur
prise in their dispatches to their home

papers and even went so far as TO In
timating that the preparatory COM
mission Of the Buenos Aires Confer
ence had arbitrarily, and at the last
moment, altered the Official agenda.
That they erred in good faith, how
ever, is shown by the fact that even
the experts at the Pan-American
Union who were entrusted with pre-
pairing data and material for the COM
ing conference were misled by the
wrong English version Of the original
program. The two-volume report pre-
pared by the Pan-American Union
containing material for the use Of
delegates to the Buenos Aires Confer
ence"-discusses topic No. 2 as re
duction Of customs duties" aQd In
cludes a detailed description Of the
various types Of tariffs, their harmful
effects as barriers to trade and the
methods devised for their gradual
elimination.
The State Department itself had
been somewhat confused by the
wording to topic No. ana had
asked Buenos Aires for an interpreta-
ton. It was the answer to this in
quiry that probably originated the un-
fortunate comments of the press cor
respondents. The preparatory COM
mission at Buenos Aires explained that
instead Of reduction OF customs
duties, what the conference would dis
cuSs would be reduction OF "other
custom house charges"
Sufficient for Some.
To those who knew the Spanish text
Of the agenda, that is, the authentic
text approved at Montevideo, the ex-
PLANTATION was clear and sufIicient in
itself. But it was not so to the foreign
press correspondents, who had been
led to expect differently by the wrong
English version of the Montevideo
resolution and the material mistaken
ly prepared by the Pan-American
Union.
II the explanation. of the prepara-
tory commission had added that the
confuson amounted merely TO an error
in translation, that the original inten-
ton of the Montevideo resolution had
been to ask the Buenos Aires Confer
ence to discuss, as the Spanish text
says, a. reduction of ''tasas aduaneras, u
or rates. in connection with custom
house charges, the misunderstanding
would have been cleared right there
and then, and the preparatory COM
mission would have saved itself criti-
cism which 1t certainly did not de-
serve.

ZIONISTS PLAN
VAST INDUSTRY
FOR PALESTINE
New Jewish Homeland
Viewed as Far East's
Future Trade Center
BY TED III. MALOY
Omitted Press StafR Correspondent

y =
New York, Aug. 17.-(UP)-The
great world market Of the future
will be the War East and New
Palestine, rising from the dust of
1000 years, is preparing to supply
that demand, Zionists believe.
The World Zionist Congress at
Lucerne, Switzerland, from Aug.
20 to Sept. 4, will direct more
rapid development of the Jewish
National Homeland in anticipa-
ton Of that business, according to
Morris Margulies, secretary of the
Zionist Organization of America.
"India's 4O0,0oo,0o0 WON'T al
ways wear the loin cloth and
sheet like Gandhi," Margulies
said. "Some day they will wear
shirts and trousers and ties, and
the New Palestine will be in a
strategic position to supply
them"
Count on Chinese Trade
China's millions and others Of
the War East will be consumers,
too, Margulies argues, and New
Palestine will be ready.
That is the future to which the
Jewish National Homeland looks
at the opening of its 10th BIZ
ennial congress. In being a haven
for oppressed Hebrews of the
world 1t Is loking for outlets for
the industry that will support New
Palestine's increasing populace.
Great Britain already has rec
ognized the strategic position of
the country, Margulies said.
Recolonization of Palestine has
eclipsed any colonization project
in the world, Ihe contends. Since
1921 more than $4,000 Jews have
settled there with a present pop
ulation of 100000.
New City Mt JANA
Telpaviv, at first suburb of
old Jaffa, has become a city of
10000 in the past rs years, and
Zionists expect it will surround
the city of Jaffa in the next few
years.
Barren lands, that have lain
idle since the Romans ran the
Jews out of Palestine 1000 years
ago, are becoming verdant again
under the reclamation project.
Millions of trees have been plant
ed on plains that were laid barren
when taxes were levied on the
number of trees possessed. Irriga-
ton bitches have spread into arid
country and grass and orchards
grow where dust blew for centu-
ries.
Expansion Phase Next
That is the beginning Of the
New Palestine. The actual devel-
opment under the. World Zionist
plan has just started, Margulies
said. The work so far has beer

hind it stands a bulwark of pro-
ductive farms and factories to fead
and supply the fighting machine.
The transportation system con-
tinues to be the weak spot in
Russia's armour But even that is
mproving-slowly but steadily.
From q force OF about 100000
men, the red army has been ex-
panded within the last year to
100000. Military experts believe
the red air force now includes
some 1000 airplanes. In speed
and flying range they are inferior
generally to American, British or
Italian planes. But their mere
number makes them formidable.
Moreover, they are manned by
pilots of first-rate skill and brav-
cry.
Weak in Sea Power
On the sea, Russia still is a
third-class power, Its capital ships
are of a type considered absolete
by the American, British and Jap
anese navies Is years ago. But in
the shipyards of the Baltic and
Pacific a considerable number of
light submarines and destroyers
are under construction. These types
Of vessels are ideally suited for
coast defense. And because of
Russia's position as continental
power, nearly self-suff1cient eco
nomically and with no overseas
possessions to defend, a navy is
not so important to it as to a ma
ton with far-fiung colonies like
Great Britain or America. The
mission of Soviet navy is only to
prevent the landing of hostile
troops.
Industrial progress during the
last year has equalled If not sur
passed the speed of military pre-
paredness. According to current
official statistics, the industrial
output of the Soviet Union during
the last Ave months increased BY
20.2 per cent over the correspond.
ing period in 1894.

resentatives of professors and
distributors camouflaged as serv-
ants of the public. But that state
of affairs there is nowhere near
as smelly as 1t was in the early
days under George Peek, who
thought he could pack his ranks
with men from the food industries
and the middleman groups who
would beg lad to give farmers and
consumers a fair break. Once
upon a time Charles J. Brand Of
the National Fertilizer association
was co-administrator Of AAA.
The tariff commission has a
notorious history Of being pacekd
with lobbyists, although the most
conspicuous ones have been weed
ed out, and those who remain are
not nearly as influential as they
used to be. Most of the tariff lob
bying is done from the outside now.

One could go on like that in
definitely-and even tell about

posedly pure domain of Secretary
Ickes. But perhaps you get the
idea.
