to the Spanish government And the tension in the Mediterranean became renewed.
 It Can Happen Here
 Recently this tension became even greater when the torpedoing of Russian merchant ships, allegedly by Italian submarines, led Russia and Italy almost to the verge of war.
 And if you wonder why England should be so vitally concerned in this dispute, you need only reflect on the fact that England discov- cred during the Ethiopian war that her control of the Mediterranean nas been shaken--and on the added fact that if Franco wins in Spain, Italy probably will receive the Balearic Islands in return for present favorS. And these islands would constitute @ naval and mili- tary base which would still further loosen Britain's grip on the historic sea.
 So England cannot stand aloof if war begins in the Mediterranean or even If there is only a threat of war. Many times in the past the Mediterranean has been the scene of wars that shaped the wrold's destiny, What has happened before may, conceivably, happen again,

power in the battle of Lepanto, and such Italian seaports as Genoa and Venice were able to develop their sea-borne commerce unhindered. Indeed, for a time the Venetians repeated the old Roman boast - they called the Mediterranean "our sea-"
 Then new nation came to play a part in the Mediterranean drama. England entered the scene in 1704, when British ships and soldiers seized the stronghold of Gibraltar.
 From that day on, England ad- vanced steadily until 1t reached @ dominant position on the Medi- terranean; and 1t Is largely because that dominance has recently been challenged by rejuvenated Italy that the battle fleets are once more astir on the sea.
 Comes to Be Britaln'S Sea
 For the British, their empire ex. banding and growing until 1t be- came the greatest on earth, made the Mediterranean "our sea" just as the Romans had done. They held its exits to the outer world -Suez and the Red Sea, in the east, and Gibraltar, in the west. The Mediterranean was their great high way to India and the far east. Britons spoke of 1t as the lifeline of the empire"
 For more than a century, 1t has been @ prime feature of British policy to hold unchallerged cantrol of the Mediterranean at all costs.
 No serious challenge to this policy occurred until about two years ago. Then Mussolini, who looks on his country as the direct heir of the ancient Roman empire, and who dreams of making modern Rome as great as the Rome of the Caesars, saw the Mediterranean as once more a mare nostrum"-not England's, but 1talys. His new ambitions brought on a clash with England when he started his war with Ethiopia.
 The League of Nations denounced this as an unholy war, and at an unholy war, and-at Tngland's

HIGH TRIBUTE
 PAID MARCONI
Several Speakers Laud Achievements of Great Genius at Memorial
 Services

Nobody knows, or can know how many lives have been saved by the messages sped through the air by the apparatus which ever will be associated with the nome of Gpgliel- mo Marconi," Judge Edward Mascolo told more than 500 persons, geth- cred yesterday afternoon at Wilby high school auditorium for tribute to the late great inventor of the telegraph. The memorial services were held under auspices of local Italian- American societies.
 Eminent speakers paid honor to the accomplishments of the Italian scientist and inventor in Q program opened by Frank Marucci, chairman of afranegemnts, who introduced Louis E. Bria, master of ceremonies. Thereafter benediction was pros nounced by Rev. Joseph Valdambri- nj, pastor of Our Lady of Lourdes church.
 ITO attempt to enumerate the blessings that have resulted from his work would be too great a task" Judge Mascolo declared. "The use- fulnesS of his research Is incalcul. able. Guglielmo Marconi was great genteleman, as well as inventor. He Is added to the llnmortals. He is the benefactor of the race. Italy cal be proud of her great son, to whom the world owes an inestimanle debt."
 Many speakers joined Judge Mas colo in laudation of Marconi, with Vincent A. Scully, representative of Mayor Frank Hayes offering In the tribute the city of Waterbury.
 Vinzo Comito of New York, as- serted that Marconi was an "1talian genius" because he experimented in Italy and made his observations upon inventions of Italians and with Italians.
 John De Pastino said he had been chosen to the committee of Qenor- oso Pope, New York newspaper pub- fisher, which will receive funds for the construction of Q monument to Marcini in Washington, D. 0.
 Vice. Consul Pasquale DeCicco, of New Haven, urged those present to always keep alive the memory of the Italian inventor.
 City Prosecutor Charles Summa gave an outline of Marconis life and ARlexander Mole, president of Cir- colo Dante, gave a tribute In Italian.
 The program committee consisted of Mrs. Mary Ricci, Mrs. Anna Had- den, Miss Mary D. Mecca, Alexan- der Mole, Gabrielle Carissimi and Joseph Guerrero.
