Little.known Jesuit
Has Peacemaker Role

ROME Correspondence Of the Associated
Press) When relations between Italy and
the Vatican become strained, quiet little
Jesuit historian has usually been called to
do the spade work for peace. Later his ef-
forts have been rewarded by agreements
signed by more illustrious personages.
The shadowy figure behind the scenes is
Father Pietro Tacchi-Venturi, rector Of
Rome's Church of Jesus and head of the
Missionary college of San Francisco di
Sales.
For 16 years the slender, graying, almost
bald priest has played his peacemaker role.
His first success came in 1922 when he pro-
posed the purchase Of the Chigi Library
from the state.
An acquaintance of Premier Mussolini for
years, Father Tacchi-Venturi went to II
Duce with the proposal. He was more than
successful.
II won't sell the Chigi Library to the
Pope" Mussolini said, "but will give it to
him"
Father Tacchi-Venturi's latest triumph
was the August agreement in 1888 between
the Fascist party and Italys Catholic Ac-
ton to smooth over differences which
threatened italy with serious political dis
cord.

Japan's Part of China Trade
Rises as Protests Are Made

Japan has bitten off section of China
containing half its population and most
of it's wealth.
The end result of that is as certain
to realistic observers as the rising sun.
Japans share of the historic China trade
will increase by leaps and bounds and
the share of other nations will decrease
in proportion.
The methods by which it will be
brought about already are being dem
onstrated with such marked success that
the State Department, through Ambag-
sador Crew. has protested. BY one trade
device or another American and other
foreign merchants and business men
have been frozen out Of Manchoukuo.
Protests about that brought no result.
The latest protest mentions what mas
happened in Manchoukuo and cautions
Japan against letting it happen in the
rest Of China. But the odds are, we
get from more than one authentic
source, that the results will be no better
as far as American trade is concerned.
Japan is next door to China and is
|. determined to dominate it as a trade
zone. 1t has spent some two billion dol
lars or more in the IS months conquest.
So far, reports from the front" indicate,
the net returns have been comparatively
small because business does not thrive
under the bayonet. But the methods
Japan has adopted in the conquered ter
ritory cannot fail to destroy competition
and leave virtually all export and import
business in the hands of Japanese.

Best at NIGHT Driving

Harvard scientists have discovered that
dark-eyed motorists see better in night
driving than 'light-eyed" drivers.
By light" eyes, it is explained, is meant

Light gray, light blue and light green eyes

Two glaring lights shone in their eyes.
The object they tried to see was not a

The dark-eyed persons, no matter what
their age, could see the stripes quicker than
