ROME, April %. (UP)-ltalv's
preparedness for war is superior
To-day to any time in the nations
history, a United Press survey
compiled from official statistics
and information gathered by for
eign military observers reveals.
Despite the fact that the coun-
try virtually is on a wartime basis,
Benito MusSolini desires Italy to
becomemore powerful. He has de-
mandcd Of his Cooperative State
form OF government that there be
no flaw in the nations defense.
He has ordered that any military
or economic weakness be detected
and eliminated.
"The inevitable prospect of the
nation being called to the test of
war is the dramatic eventuality
which must guide our every ac-
ton" II Duce declared recently.
Speaking about the possibility
of war in the near future, he said:
"When? How? Nobody can say,
but the wheel of destiny turns
very fast"
STATE CONTROLS
KEY INDUSTRIES
Comparison of ltaly's armed
strength today with that existing
at the outbreak of the World war
shows the extent of military de-
velopment under Fascism. Coupled
with this military progress are
gigantic changes in the national
economic structure. These include
placing economic, agricultural and
professional life under % corpo-
rations, giving the government
full control of credit, guarding
the state direct or indirect control
of all key industries.

Birmingham WPA
Strike Agreement
Offered Workers
Flat Wage Raise, With
Continuation Of Work,
Is Said Impossible 4

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April %
(UP)-A compromise program
for settlement of the Birmingham
WPA strike last night was pre-
sented to a general council of
striking workers for ratification.
The program was outlined late
Yesterday at conferences between
strike leaders; W. D. living, dis
trict WPA director; and Ray
Crow. state WPA administrator.
More than 1000 workers are
out on strike here, virtually paral-
wing operations on the Brming-
ham industrial water project and
q road development between Birm-
ington and Bessemer.
At the conference late yester-
day, Grow told the strikers he
could not meet their demands for
flat pay increases of 10 per cent.
To do so, he said, would cause
termination of the state WPA pro-
gram long before June 30, the
date now set for the end of the
work.
Under the tentative agreement,
strikers, demands for reduced
working hours would be submitted
to routine machinery for handling
adjustments of such disputes.
Crow agreed that projects now
shut down would be reopened,
compromising on strikers protests
at his plans for a 15-day payless
lavoff of some 5000 workers.
The strikers council is expect
ed 10 arrive ut a decision on the
compromise today, and represen-
tativeS of the workers will report
TO the WPA heads.
Il am very optimistic as to
chances Of settlement" living
said.
