A TRAGIC TALE

Signora Virginia Venturola, an Italian woman
arrived in the United States with two gold bricks
These represented her life savings, which had been
converted into gold in order to get her assets out
of Italy.
She took the bricks to the federal reserve bank
lin Buffalo to convert them back into money Fed
eral officers seized them and federal judge or
dered them forfeited to the United States govern
ment. eyer
The federal attorney who handled the case said
that 1t was 'pitiful," but that under the law was
no other course than coniscation of the gold.
The federal treasury is richer by $3.50 in gold
and the Italian woman is poorer by the same
amount There would be a name for an individual
who Gid this sort of thing. 1t would be an unpleas-
ant name. The man would be branded with it.
It's crime for an individual to own gold IN the
United States. 1t has been crime ever since the
Roosevelt administration caused congress to pass a
statute saying it would be crime. Does 1T not
seem crime in practice to strip poor woman OF

This increase in the number of school teachers
required to man the schools of North Carolina in

how eager the youngsters are for education. 1t

A WEAVER

Nature is a weaver:
Her tapestry begun,
We see before our very eyes
Just how the scenes are spun.
First she dyes each tiny leaf
To different shade;
They're the many colored threads
From which the cloth is made.
We cannot see her every move
But when the winds turn cool
We know that nature then pre-
To weave her first great spool.
She spins the leaves of scarlet
And then the leaves of gold
And brings out every color
Each single leaf withholds.
She weaves and works her wond-
erS,
Designs are plain but rare.
And every stitch within the piece
Receives the utmost care.
And when, at last her tapestry
Is taken from the frame
We see a thing of beauty
In color and in fame.
True-nature is a weaver
She copies no decoy
She merely weaves her master
piece
For our souls to enjoy.

THE TOP OF THE WORLD GETS A
LITTLE CLUTTERED :.
(RY BRUCE GATTONl

J~sSN
how Benito Mussolini is feeling right now.
He seems to be sitting on top of the
world, his people are hailing him las
world-saving peace-maker (Which is GER
tainly a new role for him), as he has Just
taken major part in a history-making
event. But it is a safe bet that if you could
get a look at his inmost thoughts you would
find that he is far from happy. ..
For what has been happening in the last
few months is obvious enough, when you
stop to think about it. Benito has been
slowly but steadily debated. He still rolls
as ominous an eye and throws out as big
a chest as ever, but he is strictly the Num-
Der Two dictator now, and the Number
One man is growing so fast that there is
neither. glory nor nourishment in the Num-
Der Two spot any more. .. -..
Hitler's Germany is the dominant power
in Europe today, and there is every indi-
cation that it will become more dominant
in the next year or so. And all OF the
boastful talk from Rome about the beau
ties Of the Rome-Berlin axis cannot hide
the fact that it is not at all to Mussolini's
interests to have Hitler advancing so fast.
Look at what has happened already. A
year or two ago, it was cardinal point in
Italian policy to keep Germany out of Aus
tria. Today Austria is part of Germany,
and German army occupies one end of
the Bremen pass-looking down 'oontem-
platively on the Tyrol, where some hun
dreds of thousands of Germans live under
an Italian rule which is far more oppres-
sive than anything the Czechs ever put on,
Jugoslavia and the neighboring country
were likewise marked down as sphere
for Italian penetration and expansion.
That dream also has exploded. A great
deal of penetration and expansion will
take place in that part of Europe in the
near future, but it won't be Italian; it will
be German, and the Rome end of the axis
stands to get precious little sustenance out
of it.
The Near East has also been a goal of
Mussolini's foreign policy. But the famous
old German drive to the east is going
ahead now faster than ever before, and it
would be hopeful soul indeed who sup
posed that Hitler was going to revise his
plans there to make room for the junior
partner.
What is left? An arid empire in Africa
and half-conquered, poverty-stricken do
main in Ethiopia ,vi .a
There may yet be a few pickings in
Spain-but even there, it is the German
agent rather than the Italian who has been
gobbling up the choicest commercial con-
ceSsionS. g.. e..
So Mussolini can hardly be happy about
the way things are shaping up. Already he
begins to look suspiciously like the tail to
Hitler's kite. The pupil to whom he taught
