French probably could hold of many
times their numbers.
Meanwhile, in France, the War
Department ordered severe pro-
ceedings against two Italians held
since October OH charges of taking
photographs in French military
zones near the Italian frontier.
After a prolonged study of photo
graphs and other information found

named Resta and Andrien Crosse,
who had been held in Lyon, were
ordered turned over to 4 military

Fascist agitation for territorial
and other concessions by France
stems from World War deal for
division of colonial gains under
which Italians contend Italy never
got her share.
Italy entered the conflict by the
secret pact Of London, signed April
26, 1915, which provided that in case
France and Great Britain took over
German colonies Italy might claim
settlement in her favor of questions
involving the frontiers of Italian
African colonies and neighboring
possessions OF the other two powers.
Britain Granted Concessions.
Great Britain granted concessions
to Italy, particularly Jubaland,
which Is adjacent to Italian Soma
liland. Italians declare, however,
that France never carried out her
share of the bargain, even In the
1885 Mussolini-Laval accord which
gave Italy 1900 square miles of
desert south of Libya, q zone be-
tween italian Eritrea and French
Somaliland; $500 of the total of
$4,000 shares in the Djibouti- Adds
Ababa Railroad. and extension until
1865 OF the 1896 agreement allowing
Italian nationality and special
privileges for Italians and their
children in Tunisia.
Italy notified France December ~

Two Centers Of Agitation.
Fascist agitation has centered on
Tunisia and Djibouti, the French
owned front door to 1taly's Ethi-
opian empire. A Gulf of Alden port,

road to Ethiopia.
The crux Of 1talys claim to an
interest In Tunisia is that as q pro-
tectorate the country is not subject
to French sovereignty. Italians in
Tunisia have enjoyed special treaty
rights since 1858. They were per-
mitted to retain Italian nationality,

Franklin D. Roosevelt says unem-
ployment cannot be relieved ::by the
election Of a political party"
While expressing her approval Of
the New Deals social security and
relief measures, she told an Ameri-
can Youth Congress dinner assembly
last night such measures were merely
a "stopgap," not a fundamental
answer"
Asserting that w. p A. and the
national youth program will not
solve the problem, she said. We've

That's what we've done. ="

concluded. rs it going to be worth
While?"
Her remarks were prompted by the
frequent references of previous
speakers to youths demand for jobs
She spoke informally before going
on the air to dedicate a Youth Con-
gress fellowship named for her.
Pointing out that an unemploy-
ment problem existed before the New
Deal, she said, Il believe in the
things which have been done, but
they do not answer the Fundamental
question. We've been afraid to face
the fact that this is an economic
problem and none of us knows the
answer.

Act, old-age pensions and the Ma

that the canal was only one phase

foreign fleet from getting anywhere
near the American coastline reach

BARCLAY ON BRIDGE
BY Shepard Barclay
"The Authority on Authorities"

At the second table. South read
the heart 6 as probably from a
doubleton, as if fourth-best from
A-J-1O-6 he would have led diff
terently. So, to lure the A on, the
flrst round, he played dummy's K.
East took 1t, returned the heart ] to
the q, and when West two tricks
later got the lead with the spade K.
he could not put his partner in to
give him ruff. So South made his
contract.
That same play Of the K on the
first heart was tried by the declarer
at the third table, but East refused
TO bite. He read that if the 6 was a
fourth-best, it was from Q-9-7-6.
and West would therefore have had
better lead. If it was a singleton.
South would have had five and
would have bid them. Therefore it
was the top of nothing, probably a
doubleton. East consequently, see
ing no other chance to beat the con-
tract, let the K win. Later his part
ner won with the spade K, led to his
A, and the setting ruff followed.
