tween the Latin sisters had been
bad for years. France had COM
pletely refused to give Italy any
of the territory pledged in the
secret London treaty of 1915.
France insisted upon navy larger
than Italy's. France treated Italy
like poor relation.
HITLER presumed too much
IL upon this position. He backed
the movement of the Austrian
Fascists, who were seeking to
bring about a union of some sort
between Austria and Germany.
This would have brought big
Germany to the Bremen Pass
frontiers of italy instead of little
Austria.
Mussolini therefore backed
Chancellor Dollfuss to the limit
in his efforts to squelch the Fas-
cists. When Dollfuss was assaS-
sinated July Is, 1894, and there
were abortive riSings of Fascists
in parts of Austria, MusSolini
promptly moved $4,000 troops to
the Austrian border.
1t was notice to Hitler that he
would not tolerate a Fascist re-
gime in Austria.
Now, at last, France, alarmed
by the growing power of Nazi
Germany, was in mood to make
it up with Italy.
In January, 1885, Mussolini and
Pierre Laval, French foreign Sec
retary signed an agreement at
Rome settling all outstanding
questions between the two coun-
tries.
IF in foreign affairs Mussolini
l. proved himself a clever, wise,
and far-seeing statesman, at home
he brought off wonderful piece
of diplomacy. Mussolini settled a
quarrel between the kingdom of
Italy and the Vatican which had
lasted more than so years.
The popeS for centuries prac-
tically had been temporal sover-
eigns of the middle part of Italy.
The pope not only was head Of
the Roman Catholic Church, but
king of a belt of Italian lands
extending from sea to sea.
In 1870 King Victor Emmanuel I
had become sovereign of all Italy,
except the papal states. These
were conquered in that year and
in 1871 Rome was declared the
capital Of united Italy.
To the pope was left the Vati-
can and the Lateran Palace. Pope
Plus TX, then head of the church,
made himself voluntary priS-
oner in the Vatican grounds, re-
fuSing to give up his claims as
a temporal sovereign. Every sue
ceSsor emulated his example.
The quarrel poisoned the stream
of italian life. Italy was baSically
and overwhelmingly Catholic. And
the people were confronted with
this estrangement between their
Catholic king and the head of
their church.
All efforts to compose the quar-
rel in the past had failed Musso-
lini determined to end it,

THERE were times after
Benito Mussolini came
to full power in Italy when
other nations thought he
was a mere condottiere-
one Of those adventures so
familiar in Italian history.
There were times when his in
flammatory speeches about the
glory of being a soldier, the ne
cessity of all male Italians being
ready to take part in war, about
Italy's future on the sea-SO rernl-
niscent of what eX-Kaiser Will
helm used to say-made the world
nervous.
But it turned out that these
speeches were more for home con-
sumption than for abroad.
Acting in the great world out
side of Italy, Mussolini proved
himself a statesman steadfastly
consecrated to the cause of peace
in the old world.
He took a leading part in the
famous Locarno treaty, signed Oct.
16. 1925, by Italy, Great Britain,
France, Germany and Belgium.
Under this, the frontiers between
c many and France and Ger
many and Belgium were guaran-
teed.
In case France or Belgium at
tackled Germany, or Germany at
tackled France or Belgium, Italy
and Great Britain would come to
the aid of the attacked party.
1t was a pact designed to as
sure nervous neighbors, afraid
that the League Of Nations alone
did not give them enough Sc
curity.
FOLLOWING that, Mussolini
Il gave his assent to the famous
Kellogg BRAND pact. in which the
United States, Italy, Great Brit
ain, France, Belgium, Germany
Poland, Czechoslovakia and ia
pan solemnly renowned war as
a means of arbitrament of dis
puted questions.
But still France was nervous.
Mussolini then engineered his own
famous Four-Power Pact, signed
in 1888 by Italy, Britain, France
and Germany.
It was agreed that all serious
questions among them should be
brought before the League of
Nations for maintenance of peace.
Soviet Russia was somewhat per-
turbed by this pact, so in Septem-
Der, 1888, Mussolini concluded a
pact of friendship and nom
aggression with Russia, saying:
The Four-Power Pact elimi-
mates the danger of blocs in
western Europe. So far as Italy
is concerned I hope this Russian
pact attains the same result in
eastern Europe and western Asia.
DRIOR to this, he had engi-

Reason for Matching this stra-
tegy is first, the heat, and sec

ProgreSSives.
The latter, headed by Bob La
Toilette, are itching to get at the
tax bill. Loaded to the gunwaleS
with amendments, primed with
redhot oratory, they are all set
for knock-down drag-out fight
to jack up tax rates from top to
bottom.
They have been waiting long
time for a crack at the tax laws
and they propose making the most
of their opportunities. If they have
their way the bill will be trans
formed into a billion dollar purse
socker instead of the modest reve-
nue. producer evolved by the Sen
ate Finance Committee.
The job of blocking the Pro-
gresSives, therefore, is no easy one,
even for such greased-skid artists
as Joe Robinson and Pat Harri-
son.
They have just enc trump card
up their sleeves. This is the
weather. All Congress is hot. tired
and frazzled, anxious to go home.
Senate leaders are making the
most of this, are promising that
if there is a "gentlemen's agree

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN-

CANCER of the lung is increasing as a cause Of
~ death of human beings This seems to be the
general opinion of physicians who see great deal
of cancer.
DR.. James Ewing feels that probably the increase
is due to number of different causes For example,
the amount of respiratory disease is steadily grow
ing, particularly various forms of influenza Then,
too, irritation is known to play part and tar and
derivative are known to be irritants.
Gasoline fumes, vaporized oils, tar from roads,
and other irritating materials associated with the
motor car industry increasingly coming in con-
tact with the human lung.
An interesting fact brought out in a paper read
by DR.. Aaron Arkin before the Pan-American Medi-
cal Association the fact that 125 cases out of
135 which came to the Cook County Hospital in Chi
cago between 1881 and 1894 were in men and only
10 cases were in women
He ventured the opinion that smoking by men
primarily responsible for this high incidence and
suggested that as women continue to smoke in in
creasing numbers and intensively they do,
of the lung would tend to increase in women.
1T is known, of course that cancer of the tongue
used to be almost exclusively masculine disease
and that the increased amount of smoking by women
has resulted in the appearance of some cases Of
cancer of the tongue among them.
In the beginning, cancer Of the lung is like
great many other conditions which affect that organ.
There may be fever, pain cough expulsion Of pus
in the sputum and with the cough, and a gradual
wasting of the body, due to poisoning associated
with the cancerous condition
X-ray pictures snow dennlte SHADOW which IS
the mark of the presence of the cancer. However,
certain other conditions affecting the lungs, for
example, invasion Of certain fungus growths like
actnomycoss bastomycosis, coccidioidal granuloma.
which is seen particularly in California and sporo-
trichosis may simulate the cancer.
r UNFORTUNATELY there is not a great deal Of
~ help for the person with cancer of the lung.
During the last few years, surgeons have on sew
eral occasions removed whole sections of lung and
entire lung successfully This IS how
ever, a most difficult and dangerous operation and
not likely be done frequently even by the greatest
of experts.
Moreover, the cancer Of the lung tends to spread
to the lymph glands and TO the bones and to the
brain and this secondary form Of cancer may XII
quickly.
If however, the condition is determined to be
tuberculosis or other form Of infection OF the
lung various forms of treatment bring good results
and it is important to know as soon as poSsole
what is wrong with the lung tissue.
