WARM SPRINGS, Ga, Dec. g.
President Roosevelt arranged an
easy week lend schedule for himself
today to allow ample time for work
on the speech he will deliver at
Chapel Hill, N. c., late Monday after
noon.
No important engagements were
on his calendar as he prepared to
wind up two weeks sojourn at his
mountain cottage here marked by
conferences on international affairs
and congressional preliminaries.
The Chief Executive, looking f1t
for the busy days ahead after long
daily rides In sharply variable wealth
er, will start back to Washington
Sunday night.
VIII Visit Governor.
En- route to Chapel Hill, where he
will address a non-partisan Univer-
sity of North Carolina student group
known as the Carolina Political
Union, he will stop for two hours at
SoiuiIlOld, y. ".
There he will have breakfast at
the State Executive Mansion with
Gov. Olin D. Johnston, and probably
make few informal remarks at the
State Capitol before resuming his
trip northWard.
The Chapel Hill address, to be
broadcast over national radio chains,
will be made around 4:30 pm. (E. S.
To, according to present arrange
ments.
Theme Not Announced.
The theme of the speech has not

terday told newspaper men he had
given no thought to the subject, when

Reich Believed urning Italy
Toward 7unisia for Expansion
Purposeto Give MussoIini Compensation
For Setback in Central Europe

Nevertheless, Won Ribbentrop and
other German leaders d. not ap-
prove Of the moment and of the
noisy procedure that Mussolipi has
chosen for promoting his designs
against France. They are Of the
opinion that the clamorous demon
stration in the italian Chamber last
Wednesday is seriously alarming
France and rekindling in her the
spirit Of resistance to the totali-
tartan states atSthe very moment
when Premier Daladier, having de-
feated the general strike, feels in
clined to initiate an authoritative
mode Of government and might be
induced by his foreign minister,
Georges Bonnet. to carry out pol
icy of rApprochement with Germany
and Of all-around "Gleichschal-
tung" .
Would it NOT have been safer and
more ceever for Italy to keep quiet
while German diplomacy endeavored
to Trest from the Paris ministry a
more or less explicit assurance that
France would remain neutral If the
conquest Of tie Ukraine wee under
taken?
1talys retort to that question can
easily be guessed. She is tired Of
being left empty-handed in the
background, and Is impatient to
emulate ths Norman expansion. She
cannot accept that enforcement of
her North African program should
be left in suspense indefinitely so
that Germany's dealings with
Frapce should not. be interfered
with. Hitherto, in the German.
Italian conso-tum. risks and profits
have not been fairly distributed. and
it Is high time that that balance
should be restored.
Declaration Jespardized.
The probabilities are that M. Da-
Ladder and M. Bonnet will put a
pointed question to Won Ribbentrop
when hey meet him here next week.
1t Is true that the contemplated
Franco German declaration Is valid
only for Frances continental terri
tory and does not apply to the whole
OF the French overseas empire. But
that declaration would lose much
Of its worth, in the judgment Of the
French government. If, at the very
moment when the Reich binds itself
to respect the French frontiers, 1t
went on to join hands with italy to
precipitate disruption Of French
Northern Africa.
M. Bonnet's aim all along has
been to purchase from Germany the
security Of the French possessions
at the expense Of the. Franco.Soviet
treaty OF mutual assistance. II 1t
now turns out that Germany, as the
outcome Of her own commitments
toward italy, cannot deliver the
goods, all that policy will fall to the
ground.

TISHING for pickerel through
- holes in the ice is one form Of
sport not many have tried. This
is the largest of our three spe-
cies. and its favorite haunts are the
region east of the Alleghenies, from
Maine to Florida.
During the winter the pickerel seek
deep water. They are not sociably in
clined, and you usually find them
swimming about alone. OF course, at
spawning time you will see many Of
them together. They love to seek the
shallow waters where they swim about
among the many water plants.
In the North the pickerel lay their
eggs In April and May; in the South
it Is much earlier. The eggs are
thrown of into the water, resembling
the masses of eggs laid by the perch.
II you will look carefully among the
submerged growth Of weeds and plants
you may easily identify them.
The Eastern pickerel often reaches
i length Of feet and weight of
several pounds. Pickerel, like so many
other creatures, will develop very
quickly when there is an abundance Of
food. This accounts for some pick
erel living so happily in ponds where
there are many fish and reaching such
large size.
There is no fear in this pike. In
fact 1t Is rather eager to tackle a
much larger fish than itself. Then 1t
proceeds to swallow its victim SLOWLY,
and apparently the digestion of the
pickerel is swift, for in no time it is
chasing another dinner.
One Of the approved methods Of
catching this fish Is by the well-known
"skittering." The bait is q piece Of
the shining abdomen of the perch, q
minnow, small but lively frog or
. frog leg. Trolling Is another meth
Cd that brings success for others and
almost any lure will do. The pickerel
