IT'S THE VOICE OF MUssoLINI

In the United States and in England the govern
ment is not responsible for what the newspapers
saw In these countries much that the newspapers
say is not to the liking of the government.
In Italy, Germany and Russia, what the
papers say the government says, for the press is
controlled. Mussolini is abusing the English when
the Italian press abuses the English. The Fascist
dictator controls the Italian press.
No expression of opinion by Italian newspapers
is without approval of Mussoni's agents. When
the Italian editorial or news columns are quoted
the Italian prime minister is quoted In this time
of crisis it is probable that Mussoni would like to
disclam responsibility for some things said in the
Italian newspapers.
Italians read no news no opinions, except those
which the Fascist government wishes them to read
They must "bootleg" foreign newspapers if they
are to read news opinions they would like to
read. The Italian newspapers are bent on trying to
make a against the English they speak with
the voice of Mussolni.
If the Italian people had free press and were
given fair from other countries their dictator
would have great difficulty in explaining some of
the features of the Ethiopian campaign. When the
Italian people do learn the TRUTH it will be too late
In the final analysis, Mussolini will paw for his con-
troll of the press in this time of peril to his peopc
! Americans and English enjoy distinct advan-
tage over all other peoples in the freedom of their
press. They read things pleasant to their govern
ment well as things unpleasant Italians in Ital-
ian newspapers read only things pleasant to their
government The dictator and his press agents arc
at pains to assure that the Italian people read only
what the government permits them to read.-The

JAPS WILL RESTRICT
THEIR TEXTILE TRADE

WASHINGTON, Sept. 81.
(UP)-Japanese Ambassador Hi
rosi Saito revealed Friday. after
a conference at the state depart
ment, that Japan will agree volun-
tarily to restrict its textile trade
with the Philippine islands.
He indicated a "gentleman's
agreement" soon will be negoti-
ated with the United States limit
ing the trade to a definite guam
tity.
Conversations between the two
governments toward this end
have proceeded to the point where
little is left to decide except the
amount of textile exports to the
Philippines, he indicated.
A similar agreement limiting
japanese textile exports to the
United States also is under con-
sideration.

which | said I considered the fin

heart by the testimony she bore
to the worth Of poetry; and whose
good taste by her modest manner
of writing about it.
| must get a different sort Of
prize from what | intended at
first, as l thought some high
school pupil would accept my
challenge: but the winner shows
that she is more than a sweet

Several good guesses were
made, highly complimentary to
the poets guessed at. One lady

fort to conceal her identity but |

Now let the high school pupils

matter for feeble minds. Lord,

Alfred Russell Wallace; Robert

The truth is that strong speech
is more or less poetic, whatever its
form. Lincoln's Gettysburg ad

Napoleon's speeches to his sol

"AreOpagitica," where it begins

AN OLD COLONIAL TOWN SCORNS
RUSHING CITIES
(By BRUCE CATTON)

1t isn't often that the birthday celebra-
ton of town of 1000 inhabitants becomes
a national event. But when the people OF
Concord, Mass, got together the other day
to mark their towns 30Oth anniversary,
the occasion was something for all America
to notice.
In fact there is a neat little object lesson
about the things that make city great.
Concord is a little place, and a sleepy
one, as New England towns go, attractive
with its colonial houses, its trees, and its
general air of having come through the
Revolution only day before yesterday. lt
is like a dozen other Massachusetts towns
and yet, at the same time, utterly unlike
them. 1t has a strange and distinguished
history.
Its fame is not due merely to the acct
dent of war.
To be sure, the Revolution did get under
way there. Those farmers who formed al
the end of a bridge and found out that
horDeSpun Americans could stand up
against British regulars started something
thai hasn't ended yet, and put great day
in the annals of their nation; yet it was
not solely on their account that COncord's
tercentenary was a national event.
Concord is worth remembering because
It is living proof that it is neither CON-
merce, finance, nor industry that makes a
city great, but the moral and intellectual
caliber of its people.
In Concord lived Emerson, Thoreau,
country town, for time, the intellectual
capital of the United States. Europeans
knew the town as a course of clear, en-
hghtened thinking, center for Steadfast
devotion to that moral and spiritual free
dom which was Americas greatest contri-
button to the world.
Now Concord came to its fame at the
very time when America was at its busiest
in the great task of expansion and physical
development The railroad era was just be-
ginning, the winning of the west was just
starting, the whole tremendous job OF
clearing continent and founding civil
cation upon it was taking all the energy
and intelligence that the nation could SUP
ply.
Concord shared in none of this 1t re
manned aloOf, like Thoreau at Walder
pond, and saw to it that the new nations
mind and spirit developed along with it
powerful, lusty body.
1t has always been our tendency to wor
ship business. Concord ought to be a re
minder that bigness and greatness do no
necessarily go together.
Judged by any material standard Con
cord is just another small town. Yet it
name is one of the most important in tn
history of the republic.

HERE is A PUZZLE

It's bit puzzling to get the arithmetic straight
of the New Dealers who have their hats off to wei
come the return of prosperity, but who have been
unable, at the same time, to refute the figures that
there are 100000 to 100000 unemployed
still in this country and that the relief agencies are
taking care of one-sixth of the total population.
These two circumstances do not add up any
more than you can put radiator and spittoon
together and get steam engine.
Prosperity and 100000 idle UNEMPLOYED arc
not twin factors that plan out into an happy and
satisfactory regime.
If unemployment was at the outset one of the
basic causes Of the depression, nothing has han
pened IN the meantime to make it no. analayons

through the fence daintily crossing the street
with seeming unconcern for the oncoming cars
perhaps one never went over the end of
your tail. That happened to me. and I've
been mighty, mighty careful ever since Now,
don't like being skidded across the street;
but sometimes must admit I'm glad of the
leash Il feel safer with the other end in my
masters hand.
But love to ride in automobiles, and I'm
darn glad you don't - Id hate to be oooped
up in the back seat with you. Imagine - if the
car should lurch and should be tossed into
your lap! l remember a narrowing tale
cousin of mine told me when he came up to
the country one summer. The dog and cat
were given the back seat of the car to share by
their master when they began the long trip to
the country As long as they rolled along the
smooth city Streets they kept to their re-
spective corners. but when they hit the
country roads Angus was bounced again and
again into the cat. The cat kept its feet, but
Angus, who was bit unsteady on his pins,
couldn't stay put. His master kept calling
back to him to let the cat alone - which was
just what he was trying to do. When they
arrived he was mental and physical wreck.
The floor of the car was strewn with fur -
none of it the cat S - and Angus's nose was
sight to see. Knowing my cousin, I'll bet he
didn't enjoy minute of his vacation - he
was thinking of the trip back to town.
Never have been allowed up on the bed,
and there's many morning when my lazy
