.DuCE PLACES BANK
ASSETS At DISPOSAL
Savings Deposits Included Among
Funds Available To Italy To Italy
To Fight Ethiopian War; League
Sanction Force His Action

Rome. March 20 -(US) Premier
Mussolini, forced by League sane
tions to marshall all available cash
to continue his war with Ethiopia
and prepare for amy cventuality in
Europe, tonight placed nj savings de-
posits and other bank assets ut the
disposal of the state.
II Ducc made himself financial as
we'll as political dictator OF Italy.
Italian branches OF foreign banks
will be subject to the same rigid reg
ulations which will govern the Bank
of Italy and other Italian financial
institutions.
A series of DEGREES issued by the
premier tonight made Italy's finan-
cial and credit houses "public insti-
tutions.'' effective already.
The new avs compel banks to cx-
tend loans only to those Industries
designated by special board of in-
spection which is in turn personally
controlled by Mussolini.
II Duce has power to convert any
bank assets, including workers saw
Ffngs, into loans to war Industries as
the occasion demands. He can use the
nations entire financial resources to
guarantee any credits extended to It.
ally.
Banking experts explained that un
der the new system. the government
by favoring one industry with loans
or ignoring aothcr, can foster those
industries deemed vital to the coun-
try's economic welfare and kill off
these deemed uncSsential. No indus
try can receive loan without the
personal approval of Mussolini.
The experts also declared that by
his measures the premier has avoided
infation and permanently stabilized
the nations financial setup.
One unique feature of the new
laws obligcs all executives Of banks
to deposit up to so percent OF their
annual saares as bond against embe@

The DEGREES were in conformity

Recent floods and dust storms,
inflicting widespread damage and
causing many deaths, show that
the government must change its
erosion policy and bear the cost
instead of leaving the job to the
farmers, according to an article in
the April number of Facts for
Farmers, published by Farm Re-
search.
The 141 demonstration projects
set up by the government to teach
the farmers how erosion can be
controlled show that the farmers
cannot bear the cost. Partial
costs on these projects average
S6.67 per acre; in Duck Greek,
Texas, the cost amounted to $11.18
per acre. These figures, given by
the Department of Agriculture I'M
derstate the expense since they
give an average for the whole
area covered and not just the
eroded portion within the area.
They do not include maintenance,
losses from taking land out Of
cash crops; as we'll as supplies,
equipment, and labor furnished by
| the CCC. Where terracing is re-
quired, the county charges 81 tc
Sc an hour.
Since AZ per cent of the farm
ers in the u. S. are tenants, they
cannot be expected to bear the
cost of erosion control. They av-
erage only 2 to 8 years on a piece
of land. Other farmers, heavily
mortgaged, wracked by drouth anC
depression, are in no position tt
shoulder this additional burden.
The article in Facts for Farm
ers points out that although the
AAA has now changed it's name
to Soil Conservation, it will do
even less than the old AAA tt
meet the problem of soil erosion
In the first place, it's payments t.
the farmers this year are being
reduced by one-third. In the sec
ond place, the payments are nov
geared to productivity, and thu
the land most in need of erosion
control will get the small pay
ments. This is erosion control up
side down.
The government has itself show
that more than one billion acre
of land, or two-thirds of the non
