when AL Smith. favorite of Hopkins
was running for President. Mr. Hopkins
who had spent his whole career in the
business of charity was director of the
New York tuberculosis and Health As
sociation. His wit, saltiness and hu-
manitarianism appealed to Mrs. Roose-
welt. His evident ability as a charity
administrator struck Mr.. Roosevelt, who
was elected Governor of New York in
1928 and again in 1880. When unem-
ployment became problem in 1881. Gov
Roosevelt picked Jesse Isador Straus as
the chairman of his State Temporary
Relief Administration and chose Hopkins
as its working director. This was the
beginning Of the close association that
now has landed him in the cabinet.
Is an Enemy of the Dole.
The cabinet post will bring Hopkins
s12,5o0 year. When he came East from
Grinnell College, Iowa, in 1912, he went
to work in camp for underprivileged
boys at $45 month. That was a little
w Z =
A. worker makes. about the same income
available under the old dole system of
the New York Temporary Emergency
Relief Administration and the Federal
Emergency Relief Administration. Hop
kins is the enemy of the dole. As he
told Senate committee last winter:
1T is my conviction, and one of the
strongest convictions I hold, that the
Federal Government should never return
to a direct relief program. 1t is de-
grading to the individual: 1t destroys
morale and self-respect: it results in no
increase in the wealth of the community,
and it tends to establish permanent
body of dependents. We should reach a
concept in America where the able
bodied unemployed are entitled to job
as matter of right
The fact that the professional friend
of the own-trodden and unemployed Is
a frequent visitor to some of the most
exclusive spots in the country wealthier
vicinities is in keeping with the Hopkins
character as it has been revealed over
charitarian, he never mixed the boys
from the slums with his home life He
liked to leave Avenue B and summer in
Woodstock, Mass, with the intelligentsia
He likes quick and snappy conversa-
ton. He is a wise-cracker,- probably
the most agile in the administration,
aside from the President himself. He
is tall and stopped, long faced, with
quick eyes set close together. He has
been in the center of things since he be-
came the No. politician at Grinnell
College. One of his chief joys is his
small daughter Diana He is 48, with
many years to 60. What he does as
Secretary of Commerce will determine
along what path he will spend the COM

under the pretext of chastising the
Kroumir border tribe of raiders, advanced
on Tunis and compelled the native bey
Muhammed vi, to sign treaty which
provided for a French regency over the
country. Italy, which already had
bought a railroad running from Tunis
to Galetta, previously owned by the
British was angered by the French
coup, but was in no position to contest it.
French possession of Tunisia, which it
rules by governor general, aided by a
mixed French and native cabinet, has
long been sore spot in French-Italian
relations. This is due in part to the
fact that the italian population of
Tunisia is almost equal to that of the
French, each having around 81 900 ma
tionals there. In 1921 the French issued
decree providing that in the future all
Italian and British subjects born in
there should be considered French
citizens
SOmaliland Wanted, Too.
Tunisia is fairly rich agricultural land
yielding good crops of olives and dates
The cattle-raising industry also is i'm
portant But its main attraction as
pawn in the European diplomatic game
always has been its strategic location
from which strong naval power can
dominate the Mediterranean.
French Somaliland, the second prize of
Importance in the present Italo- French
dispute, lies more than thousand miles
east Of Tunisia on the North African
coast and is of vital interest to the
Italians because its principal port,
DJlboutl, dominates the commerce of
Italy's greatest African territory, Ethiopia.
Having an excellent. well-protected
harbor, Djibouti lies at the railhead of
the single railroad between the Medi-
terranean and Adds Ababa. over which
moves fully four-ffths of all Ethiopian
commerce with the outside world. The
railroad itself is owned by the French
government, which constructed it under
commercial agreement with Ethiopia
between 1897 and 1917.
French Somaliland, Just tinv
coastal island in the great mass of
Ethiopia came under French domina-
ton in 1888 by series of treaties with
the native beys.
Controls Way to Ethiopia.
Its population numbers 68,se5, of
which only about 1000 are Europeans.
Commercially, it is not important for its
own production. But lying, as it does,
Evening star., 1939-01-01

at the railhead of the line to Adds
Ababa and on a narrow strait which
separates the Red Sea from the Gulf of
Alden, it virtually controls the transpor-
tation of that area. Presumably Italy
believes that its commercial domination
and exploitation Of Ethiopia can never
be complete SO long as the French con-
troll Djibouti and the railroad leading
into the heart of Mussolini's newest
African possession.
Corsica, birthplace of Napoleon Bona
parte, and long French possession, is
an island just off the western coast of
Italy and directly north of the large
Italian island of Sardinia It's political
relationship to France is much closer
than that of either Tunisia or French
Somaliland, it being department of
merely protectorate.
France Obtained 1t in 1853.
Corsica came under the political domi-
nation OF France in 1853, when the Italian
state Of Genoa which long had domi-
mated the island. signed treaty ceding
control to the French, who already we're
in military occupation. For 20 years i.
remained a crown colony of France
But with the French revolution of 1879,
the National Assembly passed an act
making the island an integral part of
France, which it has been ever since,
except for two years of British occupa-
tion, although the population is largely
of Italian racial stock.
Because of its location only 54 miles
off the coast of Tuscany, its strategic
Importance as a military base of French
operations in war with Italy is tre-
mendous. This consideration, as well as
the fact that so many Corsicans are
Italian in race. lies behind Mussolinis S
present attempt to add it to the new
Roman Empire.
Nice. the final point of Italian expan-
sionist aims at French expense, is a
city OF about 175,000 located at the
extreme southeastern tip of France,
about 20 miles from the Italian border.
Founded more than 1000 years ago by
the Phoenicians, it has alternated for
centuries under the rule of its native
princes, the Italian states of Savoy and
Sardinia, France and Spain. France last
gained control of it in 1860 by a treaty
between the Sandman King an6 Napo-
leon III. What shadowy claim Italy may
lay to Nice presumably is based on the
fact that for many years it was ruled
by principalities which are a part of
the modern Italian state.

countries has made it difficult where not
impossible, for us to export.
But what is not usually realized is that
in 1887 Latin America as whole bought
from us one-third of its imports, as COM
pared with only one-fourth before the
War. It is not fully appreciated that we
are selling in Latin America more than
Germany, Japan, Italy and the United
Kingdom combined.
Japan and Italy together supplied
only 53 per cent of Latin America s
