PICES OF MINISTERIAL AL.
LANCE

Yesterday morning at Bayview
Park, dawn of day was greeted
with the beginning of Easter
services, held by the Key West
Ministerial Alliance. Despite the
threatening weather there was a
large aSsemblage of worshippers
in attendance.
Rays of the rising sun were
hailed with the glorious words of
that age-old song, "An. Hail the
Power of Jesus Name, lefeAngels
PROSTATE fall. Bring forth the
Royal Diadem, and Crown Him
Lord of ALP. This was followed
by the solemn program.
Scripture reading, Matthew
28:1-10, Rev. Yancy T. Shehane,
of the First Baptist church.
Prayer, Rev. j. c. Gekeler of
the First Presbyterian church.
Hymn, Christ Arose.
Offertory prayer, Rev. Shuler
Peele, of Fleming Street Metho-
dist church.
Prayer in Spanish, Rev. G.

Christ, Rev. J. A. Tolle, of First
Methodist church.
Hymn, "Holy. Holy, Holy.
Benediction, Rev w. L. Halla-
day, of First Congregational
church.
Just before the program was
brought to an end, a light rain
began to fall, but lasted for but
a brief period and then ceased
while the beautiful and solemn
services were brought to a close.
Throughout the entire day spe-
cial services were conducted in
all of the churchs, white and col
ored, and all of them were well
attended.
All over the city the spirit OF
Easter was prevalent. There is
seldom any undue unrest at any
time, but on days of holy observ-
ance, such as yesterday, there is d
serenity everywhere which is in
dicative of the sense of greater
quictude which is in the hearts
and minds of the people.
1t was day which was i'm
pressive from the first sound OF
JOY and gratitude rising in an up
lift of melodious praise at Bay
view Park, until the last note Of
the closing hymn in the churches
was sung at night.

100000 Tunisian Italians.
Italy considers the 1885 agree
ment governing Italian minoritieS
in TuniS as null and void.
CITE GREE HAND"
The government maintains that
concessions made by Rome hasten
ing the naturalization as French
citizens Of Italians resident in
Tunis were made because Pierre
Laval, then premier of France,
had pledged in return a "free
hand" to Italy in Ethiopia. This
failed to Inaterialize when the
Laval government fell with the
Hoare-Laval plan and France
joined England in economic penal.
ties against Italy.
italian rancor over how the
colonial tidbit came to be given
to France is Of long standing. It
dates back to when iron Chancel,
lor Won Bismarck Spurred France
to occupy this territory to create
q cause Of friction between Italy
and France. Italy had always cast
hungry eyes in the direction OF
the rich mineral and agricultural
wealth Of TuniS as q possible field
for needed colonial expansion.
ARABS PROBLEM
One Of the reasons France may
be obliged to give way to italian
demands in this regard is that
more than 2,250,o0O Arabs com
prising virtually the entire native
population are favorably inclined
to the Italians, and noting the
new civil and military privileges
accorded their brethren in Lydia
might be disposed to take UP arms
against the French in favor Of the
Italians if things ever come to a
showdown.

LABOR BITTER

Premier Daladier today was
expected to take severe measures
against the ringleaders Of workers
who defied his orders during yes

The military measures taken by
the government to break the strike
drew bitter comment from Leon
JouhauX, leader of the defeated
Labor Confederation. He told cor
respondents:

of the French Empire to find
such measures taken by the
government"
The victorious Premier, who
won the Soubriquet Strong Man"
by administering perhaps the most
crushing blow that organized labor

Two members of the Iron
Guard were arrested today at
Czernowitz as government troops
were kept in readiness to head
off any possible reprisalS for the
shooting Of Codreanu.
HOUSES SET AFIRE
They were taken into custody
after Iron GuardiStS, according
to an official announcement, had
set fire to 10 houses and work
shops, confirming fears that the
pro-Nazi organization might try
to force a test of strength with
the government by alleging that
Codreanu and his followers were
shot purposely.

day issued orders that Jews must

DARING GESTURE
The governor declared that II
Jews do not speak Rumanian. 1t
will be assumed that they are not
Rumanians. The measures, it was
said, were taken as a result OF
recent anti-semitic demonstrations
and attacks on Jewish property.
An indication Of the govern:
ment's defiance of the Iron Guard
was seen today in a daring gesture
carried out by Interior Minister
Calinescu. Despite the knowledge
that he might be the target OF

as the Rumanian strong-man
