BEST DEFENSE,

Mussolini Gives Fighting Speech-POints Out His
 COuntry's War Assets
By STEWART BROWN limited Press Staff COrrespondent)

tUn1teU ITcSS Otdh SVAhSSPoh~S"v Rome, March 30.-(UP)-Premier Benito Mussolini told the Italian senate and people today that Italy has built up a mighty war machine which she is ready to use on the theory that "the best defense is to be offensive"
 Il duce informed the world that Italy is ready to throw 9,00O,oO0 men into the army in event of war. In the midst of Europe's greatest war scare since 1914, Mussolini plainly warned France and other nations that Italy is ready, declar- ing:
 l "Italy's land, sea and air forces are tuned for rapid and implacable war"
 His speech was on the army, navy and air force appropriations of 5,- 800, 100000 lire ($3O5, ,225 ,00O. He said that in event of war, he would lead the armed forces under con- mand of the king"

 Italy's aviation" he said, lis one of the best in the world. Sev- eral thousand new, modern ma chimes comprise our air fleet"
 In emphasizing his Caesar-like role of supreme war leader, Musso- lini explained why the three minis tries of war, air and navy are not co-ordinated into one.
 Tt is unnecessary for Italy," he said, "because the chief of the gov- ernment commands all three. In case of war. he who is speaking to you will command under orders of the king"
 Italy, Mussolini said, needs more men for battalions.
 within 10 years" he proclaimed, there will be 50,000,000 Italians"

Test Case in City Court Today Brings Ruling
 From Judge McGrath
A. CASHIN ARRESTED;
 IS GIVEN DISCHARGE
Pamphlets, Handbills Can Be Given Out in City
 Without Police Permit

Waterbury's city ordinance forbidding the distribution of handbills is illegal, ruled Judge John F. McGrath in city court today. Easing his decision on ruling given Monday by the Supreme Court of the United States, Judge McGrath discharged Alex Cashin, 39,> of B Sav- ings street, local CIO organ izer, who was arrested a few minutes before court in a test case brought by the Waterbury Brass Workers Union. The decision was hailed as a victory by the union, and means that in the future no police permit will be needed by any organization or individual wishing to give out handbills or pamphlets. It is expected, however, that police will invoke other ordinances if it is found that distribution of any printed matter is causing the streets of the city to become filtered.
 Hearing Is Brief
 The city court hearing was brief. Cashin was arrested few minutes before 9 o'clock in front of the City Hall, where he was passing out handbills announcing meeting of the Waterbury Association of the Unemployed, to be held tomorrow night at Workmens Circle Hall, and citing the Supreme Court decision. He was arrested by Lieutenant Fred Hickey of the vice squad, and booked at headquarters on a charge of violating city ordinance by dis tributing handbills.
 Lieutenant Hickey testified on the witness stand that he had seen Cashin passing out the handbills and had placed him under arrest.
 What Law Violated
 What law has he violated?" asked Judge McGrath.
 Prosecutor Frank Healey, who had agreed to the test case, cited the city ordiance against giving out handbills.

Gayda, authoritative Fascist editor
declared today President Roosevelts
congressional message had further
creation of a state of permanent in
ternational hostility.
Gayda, whose writings often reflect
the official Italian viewpoint in an
editorial in his paper, said:
president Roosevelt insists upon
dividing the world into two parts, the
democracies and the authoritative re-
gimes, and upon creating between one
and the other a state of permanent
differences and hostility, contradictine
those principles of Cancellation and

Gayda asserted the authoritarian
regimes had appealed vainly for 4
peaceful solution of their problems
but these appeals had been rejected
by the democracies.

DEMOCRATIC GROUP

BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press COlumniSt

Washington, Jan. 4-Can Japan be
bottled up, by the worlds democratic
powers, effectively enough to bring
the islanders to terms, without an &C
Iual war?
Some folk profess to think so, but
it looks doubtful.
War certainly would be of short
duration, if American, British and
French naval f0rces could be com
bined against Nippon. And, of course,
thew would have the cooperation of
such sea strength as Holland could
muster; likewise Russia support over
land. Not to mention China.
But how about Germany and Italy?
Sounds Dangerous.
The idea is that:
The United States, without butting
into Oriental waters, should draw an
anti-Japanese line longitudinally a"
cross the Pacific, not far east OF
Hawaii, including the closing of the
Panama canal against the mikado
which would be easy enough. militar-
ily speaking, though it probably would
involve the sinking of some Japanese

Hendaye, Franco-Spanish Frontier,
Jan. 4.-(AP)- Beleaguered insurgents
and Spanish government troops
fought today through the ice-crusted
streets of Teruel, in guerilla warfare
that may determine the tide of the

Snow checked mass offensives by
