Russia May Hold Key.
Meanwhile, informed persons ex-
pressed belief that Soviet Russia may
hold the key to settlement Of the
Czechoslovakia crisis, since Britain and
France appear ready now to surrender
sudetenland to Chancellor Hitler Of
Germany.
Czechoslovakia could resist efYec-
lively the taking Of her territory II

said today. The little republic in

Without Russian aid, it is felt here.
the Czechs would have little chance,
since French and British assistance
might be withheld unless the Anglo
French plan for ending the crisis Is
accepted.
The Russian military agreement with
the Czechs depends on the now waning
French support, but it is felt in some
quarters that Russia would help the
Czechs anyway.

Trieste counts upon her own

not, turn her back on any one. Peo-

Axis Policy Dictates Words.
That which I am about to tell you
is dictated not only by the policy OF
the Rome-Berlin axis, but finds il

What ! am about to tell you Is

which I would call more than Italian
European. When problems posed by
history reach the tormenting degree OF
complication the solution demanded is
the simplest. most logical and most
radical: That which we Fascists call
totalitarian.
The solution to the problem which
| at this moment agitates Europe has
only one name: Plebiscites
Plebiscites for all nationalities which
demand them, for all nationalities
which were forced into what wished to
be great Czechoslovakia and which
today reveals its organic Inconsistency.
But there is something else to be
said and it is that at certain moment
events become an avalanche and for
| that reason we must hurry II we
want to avoid disorders and COM
plications.
The idea Of making haste in solving
the problem must have been shared
by the British Prime Minister in leav-
ing London for Munich as flying
messenger Of peace since any delay
does not hasten the solution but brings
on fatal collision.
This solution, despite the campaign
of Moscow, is already penetrating the
heart of European peoples. We hope
that in these last hours peaceful
solution is reached. We wish also
that if this is not possible the re-

Chamberlain Of Great Britain.
The two are expected to meet at

on the fate Of czechoslovakia, begun
last Thursday at Berchtesgaden.
Munich, briefly host to Mr.. Cham

feeling Of her citizens likely Is that
Of a great majority of the people Of

L DUCE TO SPEAK
AGAIN TOMORROW
Second Address in Three
Days to Be Made Near
German Border.
Ry the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
ROME, Sept. 19.-Premier Musso-
lini, keeping pace with swiftly moving
events OF the European crisis, let 1t be
known today he would deliver an ad-
dress tomorrow to be broadcast to
Italy and foreign nations-his second
in three days.
II Duce spoke yesterday at Trieste,
proposing plebiscites for all minori-
ties in Czechoslovakia which demand
them"-virtual dismemberment OF
Czechoslovakia-as the only way to
European peace. He said "Italy;s
place Is already chosen" in event OF
general war.
Supported by Gayda.
This remark was given authorita-
tive Interpretation today by Virginio
Gayda, noted fascist editor, who de-
clared 1t meant Italy was ready to
take up arms at Germanys side" II
the Czechoslovak crisis started Eu-
ropean war.
Mussolini today toured Julian We
nitia following his Trieste speech and
crossed the frontier into Yugoslavia-
the first time he every has entered
that country.
Accompanied by Count Galeazso
Ciano. his foreign minister and SON
in-law, Achille Starace, secretary Of
the Fascist party. and other aides, he
motored from Trieste to Postumia. He
crossed the frontier on foot and was
received at Rakek by local civil and
military Yugoslav officials for q brief
exchange Of compliments.
II Duces speech tomorrow is TO b
made at Udine, near the border Of
German Austria, beginning at $50
pm. Ql:2o am, E s. T).
Way to Peace Seen.
Fascists asserted today that the
premier's plebiscite proposal pointed
the way to peace for "misled" ma
tions, but his declaration regarding
"Italy's place" in events Of war drew
conflicting interpretations.
Commenting on the Trieste speech,
the Rome newspaper II Tevere said,
THE near future will tell whether
Europe is governed by theological
hatred or sense of responsibility.
But the courageous and foresighted
policy OF Mussolini indicates again
today as always the way out for un-
decided and nisled nations"
Interpretations Vary.
Some, Italians regarded II Duce's
guarded announcement as a warning
that the Rome-Berlin axis would func-
ton In war as well as in peace If the
German-Czechoslovak crisis exploded
into war.
Others thought 1t meant merely
that Italy's attitude would be one of
benevolent neutrality" toward Reichs-
fuehrer Hitler If he moved into
Czechoslovakia.
To many Italians the Mussolini
speech brought the specter OF conflict
uncomfortably near.

Naturally my mind jumped to con-

Count Orlando had been paying at
tentions to Madeline ever since her
husband died the year before. told
him We all knew that he was after
her money. I remembered that they
had quarreled on the way up on the
train. And hazarded the opinion
that the count, believing he was going
to be unsuccessful in winning Mad
cline and her millions, becoming i'm
patient and needing the money, had
stolen the ring, figuring that in the
excitement Of unpacking, Madeline
would not notice the loss and, when
she discovered It, attribute 1t to her

A BARRAGE OF TELEGRAMS

Twice in recent months members of congress
have been bombarded by kilograms sent by people
throughout the country. On one occasion the teie-
grams were unusual in volume and against the
packing of the supreme court. On another occa-
sion the kilograms against the presidents re-
organization BILL And now it is indicated that
there will be letters and kilograms containing
either praise or condemnation of the Roosevelt
pump printing program to end the present depres-
sion.
We think that such expressions on the part OF
individuals throughout the nation give indication
of a keen interest citizens have in our great de-
mocracy These kilograms also give proof of the
fact that we are a democracy and that any ind-
vdual, no matter how humble is given the right to
express his opinion to national representatives.
Some days ago the United States senate was con-
sidering the reorganization bill. Thousands upon
thousands of kilograms were sent to senator's and
a majority of them against the bill. In spite
of these kilograms the senate acted favoraby. And
it was following that passage and during his speech
at Gainesville Ga, that President Roosevelt said it
was a wholesome thing to find that the United
States senate could not be purchased. Such state
ment on the part of chief executive was colos-
sal blunder If the president really meant that
members of the United States senate could not be
purchased or cowed by an avalanche of kilograms,
have other people reasonable right to think that
members of the United States could be purchased
by pressure from the chief executive who has the
powr to give or withhold patronage! 1T Is our
opinion that purchase by patronage Is much more
common than purchase by pressure of the use OF
kilograms and other messages. - '". .r
We hope the day viii be far distant when people
of this nation are denied the privilege OF express
ing their personal opinions and preferencesto elect
ed officials. we think it wholesome thing that at
the present time large number of kilograms are
going to congress so that members of congress may
know howethe people feel relative to a continuation
of pump priming.--Rock Hill Herald. HsF
