ments will be offset by the unity and spirit of sacrifice of the Ital- ian race.
 Italians will ignore the opinion of th0 League of Nations and its pol icy of double weight and double measure, and as Italy becomes more oppressed the more its sons will make sacrifices.
 Aside from Ita1y's struggle for ex- istence, the world cannot ignore that while it is struggling to find 8 place for its people under the sun. it is liberating millions of slaves.
 The League of Nations, impliedly recognizes not only oppression of people and perennial servitude of certain unfortunate nations, but is officially indorsing slavery in the Ethiopian empire.
 To the accusations of aggressors answer that their principles are still the light of civilization and while England began to abolish slavery 100 years ago, Italians never believed in slavery. In fact Rome made freemen out of slaves.
 The history of our Civil war teaches us that England was sup porting the South and even fur nished the Copfederates warships and supplies.
 The record of our own national history put England as the defender of slavery.
 Americans now know that Eng land is not in love with Ethiopia. She is pursuing her own policy of imperialism which is an instinct of her people who thrive on the Servitude of other nations.
 Yesterday morning the Mon taganese society met in Liberty hall and voted to send $50 to the Ital- ian Red Cross. Several weeks ago the Frigentina society donated $10O for the same cause. Wednesday night the general fund-raising com mittee of the local Italian societies WI be named at meeting in Lib- erty hall.
 The officers of the Montaganese society are: President, Antonio Ian- nitto; vice-president, Giovanni Ma riano; recording secretary, Ovidio Pignet first financial secretary, John Zampino; treasurer, DarIo Prorietti; counsellors, John Carlossi, Nicola Caterino, Modesto Valsa, John Iannitto; sanitary committee, Jc- ,pn Ciccnitto, Luigi Basile; auditors, Costantino Cristinsiano, Orvidio Pignet 2nd; master of cere- monies, Antonio Galuppo; social physician, Dr. Gustavo Testa.

DUNGEON OF l795
 FOUND IN SOUTH
Seat of Spanish Govern- ment Unearthed By New
 Orleans WOrkmen

New Orleans (UP).-A long, sealed dungeon cell was discovered here when workmen investigated foundations of the Cabildo, built in 1735 as seat of the Spanish government and in later years converted into state museum.
 The dungeon is beneath the central stairway of the building and was walled up with ancient brick made from Mississippi river mud. It was part of the original Cabildo built in 1788 and which later burned, according to James J. A. Fortier, president of the board and executive director of the museum. The present edifice was erected by Don Andres AL monster y Roxas, greatest 18th century benefactor of Louisiana, under administration of Governor Carondelet.
 Several pairs of rusted wrist manacles, few links of heavy iron chain, heavy iron hook and heavy wrought-iron hinges were among the articles found in the cell. Eight handmade lead rifle balls and several pieces of leather from what appeared to have been ancient firemen's hats were found also.
 A number of arches, bricked up during various regimes, have been opened lately to allow freer cir- culation of crowds who visit the Cabildo and to reduce fire haz- ards. Fortier says the museum building is being restored to its original details.
 EZRA workmen plan to explore the floor beneath the reopened cell. Rumors have long existed that there were underground pas
