Mussolini Asks Smith if President
OfU. S. Can Serve for Three Terms

and followed that up by saying, you
may take this message to the American
people. I am for peace And for
emphasis he repeated peace" twice.
A book published by the Fascist
Confederation of Industrialists says
the following: In possession of
Ethiopia, Italy is now a satisfied
country, able and willing to be a strong
factor for peace and stability in
Europe and the world. This is what
Italy desires. this is the part she will
play in world politics, If the rest Of
the world co-operates with her toward
that end" And it then quotes from
speech by the PRIMER which con-
tains the following: I'VE desire to
live the longest time possible at peace
with all and we are determined to
offer our daily and positive contribu-
ton to the work Of cola boration be-
tween the nations OF the world"
This about ended our interview I
Eugene Carey. one of the party who
accompanied me- He very graciouslv
consented, and after three handed
expression of good wishes. we left his
office which. by the way, is located
in a spacious building once the
property Of the Austrian government
and used as headquarters of the
Embassy. 1t has enormous rooms with
high ceilings and, contrary to what
might be expected, there was lack of
pomp and ceremony. The fact is that
there was a democratic atmosphere
surrounding the entire building.
After our interview, left on the
night train for Milano. There is no
question in my mind about the fact
that everybody in Italy is behind the
Premier, and it makes no difference
in what strata of society he belongs.
The emblem Of the Fascist party is
worn in the button hole of the coats
Of men of all ranks. I am told that,
in order to properly appreciate the
change that has come over Italy
during his administration. one should
have visited Italy about Is years ago.
1t makes little difference what people
think in other parts of the world of
the Fascist government. There is one
thing that you can be dead sure about,
and that is the Italian people are en-
tirely and thoroughly satisfied with it.
Difference From U. S.
OF course, it is only fair for me to
say that, in my opinion, no such form
Of government could obtain in the
United States until you did two
things: l. Tear up the Declaration of
Independence and q Throw the Con-
stitution into the ash can.
I read in a Paris newspaper an
article to the effect that bill was
introduced in the English parliament
to broaden the grounds upon which
divorce may be secured. In Italy,
there are no legal proceedings for the
purpose of securing divorce. Once
married in Italy, it is for life. Mar
riage may, however, be annulled, but
only in accordance with the rules and
practices Of the church that represents
the faith OF the married couple
In closing, I want to make one
observation. Since I reached Italy,
up to this writing, did not see on
the streets or in any public place a
single intoxicated person. In fact,
very little hard liquor is consumed in
Italy. The favorite drink is wine, and
this goes for American visitors. as
we'll as for the people Of the country.

Big Family, Big Mind,
New Nazi Argument

BERLIN CPl.-Big families produce
big men. A nation populated with
small families therefore has small
chance Of developing any great minds.
So runs the bigger and better fam
ily' argument assiduously propagated
in NaA Germany.
Charts have been prepared to show
that the later children of a family
seem to have a better chance Of
growing up into famous persona ges
than do the frst-born or second born.
For instance. it is pointed out, the
artist Albrecht Duerer was the
mothers third child; Frederick the
Great was the fourth child in his
family; Bismarck also was a fourth
child. Among the great German CON-
posers, Bach was the last in family
OF eight children; Wagner last Of nine,
and Mozart last of seven.

Whether larger grants will be nee

Dublin, Irish Free State, will be de-

considerable agitation lately for in

living in the city has risen more than

a result the purchasing power of the
person in receipt of relief has been
correspondingly reduced.

knights, but he felt that since new
powers had taken control of Japan. it
looked as If commerce and not arms
would be most profitable in the years
to come, and he ceased TO be noble.
He was right For 200 years Japan
was governed peacefully by the Sho-
guns. and the Mitsuis prospered with
them. They learned one thing from
their feudal origin: that was never
to lend any money to feudal chiefs.
They knew they would usually not get
paid back. and thus kept a minimum
of bad debts.
When Disraeli was writing of the
horrors OF sweated labor in "Sybil or
the Tale of Two Nations" and indus
trlalism was at It's worst in Britain,
it is interesting to note that the Nit
suis were already instituting a profit
sharing scheme for their employees,
new bookkeeping rules not unlike our
double entry, and making rigid rules
for rest periods in the days work for
their employees. All this was in ia
pan, about which so many people still
agltate because of sWeated labor The
firm that would not have sweated labor
has today come out on top.
In Strategic Position.
1t is. therefore, not unnatural that
when Japan entered into the life Of
the world about 1860, with a new par
liamentary system. with an Emperor
who had regained his authority and
with a people anxious to learn from
and then compete with the West, the
one big business concern at all ap-
preaching Western ideas got an in
Contestable start in developing its
own and its country's interests
The Mitsuis already had banking
facilities with which to help the gov
ernment. They had retail store to
sell Western goods to the people. They
had education and enterprise and a
good staff. From their country's point
Of view. We must agree. they had a
record OF which to be proud.

~ ARIS, June 12.-The Germans
- and the Italians do not play
according to the rules. British
u and French vessels have been
attacked by Spanish aircraft, or have
struck Illegal floating mines or have
been subjected to illegal search and
seizure. French frontier towns have
been bombarded. Yet neither the
French nor the British have retaliated
in kind. They have been content
with diplomatic settlements.
1t has been the Italian and German
practice ever since the war to take
the law into their own hands. The
Italians, instead of negotiating for
Fiume, simply took it. as later they
took Ethiopia. Having a grievance
against Greece. they shelled Corfu
The Germans. although they had
obtained numerous concessions by ne
gotiations, finally disposed of the rep
arations question by simply refusing TO
pay. They occupied the neutrallzed
Rhineland zone in open violation of
treaties, and then said, What are you
going to do about it?" When one of
their warships was bombed by Spanish
aircraft. they Immediately shelled AL
meria, intsead of first asking for an
international inquiry, as the French
or British would have done.

recall the Olympic games OF 1908
in London, For the first time since the
revival Of the games, the tug-of- f-war
was on the program. and the princi-

When the American team appeared
on the field wearing ordinary spiked
running slippers the British athletes
protested. They said it was against
the rules to wear spiked shoes in the
tug-of-war. The judges said the Brit
lsh were right, and so the Americans
had to change to smooth-soled shoes.
Then the British tug-of-Uar team
came on the field wearing heavy IRON
soled boots that gripped the ground
| like anchors. 1t was the American
turn to protest, but the protest was
overruled, as the extraordinary foot
wear Of the British was strictly with

leans submitted with what good grace
they could muster and were hauled
over the field as If they had been on

Noted American Political Leader.
MILAN, June II Especial Cable -
When I arrived in Rome. Premier
Mussolini was in another part of the
country on official business. 1 was
informed by men close to him that
he takes no vacations. On the day
that he came back to Rome, Marshall
Won Blomberg flew over to see him and
1t was assumed they discussed the
trouble on the Spanish coast For
that reason my audience with him
was delayed from Wednesday to
Saturday.
Meanwhile. I motored to Florence
and enjoyed the quaint Italian towns
along the route. I was particularly
interested in the city of Sienna, the
birthplace of Saint Catherine. The
popula ton is about $4,000 and it
seemed to me that every one of them
was walking through the narrow
streets that have no sidewalk, all Of
them happy, good natured and neatly
dressed. OF course. the streets were
laid out centuries before anybody ever
saw an automobile and are not much
wider than the auto itself One
would have to be impressed by the
courtesy extended to tourists, as the
wayfarers lined up close to the build
ings to let us pass. Florence is a
beautiful city and can be seen to
advantage from the top of an ad-
joining hill where is located square
dedicated to the memory of Michael
Angelo.
On Saturday, I returned by rail to
Rome and at five o'clock in the
afternoon I met the most talked of
man in all Of Italy, Premier Mussolini.
He made lasting impression on me.
His pictures show him as a stern
looking man; he is quite the opposite
and has very pleasing smile and a
jolly manner. In the United States,
we would refer to him as "a regular
guy" He was dressed in a Summer
suit, becoming his sunny disposition.
We had no use for an interpreter as
he speaks English very we'll.
Glad to Hear Pope Is Well.
Naturally, his first question to me
was: What do you think of Italy?"
and my answer certainly pleased him.
He asked me how found the Pope, as
he heard of my visit to Castel
Gandolfo and when I told him that
in my opinion the Pope was in remark
able physical condition, considering
his age, he clasped his hands and said
Il am so happy to hear that" He
then spoke to me of mutual friends
among Italian people in the United
States and remarked that it was an
added pleasure to see me because he
knew that the assembly district I
represented for so many years in the
legislature was made up largely of
Italian people.
The Premier asked me twice If there
is anything in the Constitution Of the
United States to prevent a President
from having a third term and told
him there is no mention Of any such
thing in the Constitution but it
appears to be settled tradition. OF
course, he did not disclose what he
had in his mind and, looking directly
at me with pronounced smile, he
said: How is the New Deal?" and
promptly replied that, in my opinion,
it was mot so hot" My reply was
met with much broader smile.
then asked him II, in his opinion,
there was any danger Of war, and
quickly and very firmly he said, NO.
