Mussolini Says Italy Must
Be Self-Sufficient

M EMBERS of Italy's cooperative
1VA guild, which includes all
phases of Fascist life, held their
annual meeting in Rome and loudly
cheered Premier Mussolini when he
declared that Italy will make her
self self-sufficient economically even
if she "has to work IS hours a
day." II Duce asserted his program
was a guarantee of peace and a
surety of "the life, the future and
the power" of the Italian people. He
continued:
"For us it is impossible in world
armed to the teeth to abandon such
a policy. It would mean putting our
selves tomorrow, in case of war, at
the mercy of those who have all and
who can make war without limita-
ton of time or consumption.
"Fascism aoes not wish to absorb
the economic life of the people, be-
cause Fascism doesn't wish to be-
come paralytic as happens under
bolshevism."

Edward and Wallis to
Marry on Iune 5

r DWARD, duke of Windsor and
~ former king Of Great Britain,
and Mrs. Wallis Warfield are to be
married on June at the Chateau
de Candle. This was announced in
London. In the controversy between
the government and the duke, who
was backed up by his brother, King
George, and their mother, concern
ing official recognition of the mar
riage, the government seemed to
have won. It was understood the
wedding would be extremely pri-
vate and that no member of the
royal family would be present.
There will be only a few guests in
addition to the witnesses and the
servants. Lieutenant Forwood, the
dukes equerry, carried to Bucking-
ham palace information of the
dukes final plans. He also invited
the London Daily Mail and London
Daily Express to send reporters to
the wedding These papers have
been most friendly to Edward and
Mrs. Warfeld.

told by certain friends that an
American, not named, "who owns
nearly billion dollars" was pre-

Danish Kings Silver
Jubilee Celebrated

CHRISTIAN x, king of Denmark,
~ and all his subjects celebrated
the monarch's silver jubilee in Cop

dom. The festivities were marked
by characteristic simplicity but
clearly demonstrated the affection
the people have for the tall sixty-six-

gaily decorated capital there was
a Joint session of parliament, re-

partment of the Interior, which
measure carries $40,000,000 for the
reclamation bureau to be used for
the building of dams and reservoirs
to increase the acreage of tillable
land. At the same time the house
agriculture committee introduced a
new farm bill, the main object OF
which is the controlling of excessive
farm SURPRISES and which calls for
the expenditure of 1921, ZOO, 900 an
nually. This latter bill is based on
the recommendations of Secretary
Wallace's farm conference of Feb
