Nitti, exiled former Italian premier,
said today that Italy cannot re-

she does not dare to enter the war
on the side of Germany.
Ending a long, imposed silence
on politics, Nitti said in an inter-
view that the Soviet German ac-
cord released Italy from all obliga-
tions except those dictated by her
own self-interest.
Nitti, now II, fled Italy from
the advent of Fascism. Author

that due to the German action.
II am sure of victory for France

Italy would emerge ruined for CEN

"Germany-Which after the war

inhabitants united with Russia

a mortal menace for Italy than for
France.
after beating Turkey, nothing
would prevent Russia from going
to Istanbul to use the straits as a
great highway to Asia and to reach
the Mediterranean.
"On the other hand, it would be
impossible to prevent Germany, as
successor of Austria Hungary, from
also reaching the Mediterranean.

could not successfully operate.
George Kirk, attorney, who ap-
peared on the program to present
legal phases of the proposal, said
1t would be up to the courts to de-
eide whether the dangerous phases
of the amendment would be con-
stitutional
"The important part of the con-
stitutional question" declared Kirk,
sis what will happen to California
while the courts are considering
the matter. Courts move slowly and
carefully, and it would be some
time before the final, legal status
could be determined. In the mean
time, would California business
come to a standstill?"
A surprise comment came from a
visitor, Burr H. Prentice of South
Gate, who stated that his business
calls him to all parts of the state
and that indications are that the
amendment will pass.
What we must decide" said
Prentice" is not how to stop it, but
what to do when it passes. I am
confident it will pass. People with
whom I have talked are predom-
inently in favor of it. Much to my
surprise many of these are persons
whom we could expect to see the
defects of the plan. Every business
man should be planning now, just
what he will do following the elec-
ton"

permitted by program chairman

Lieut. Gov. Ellis E. Patterson still
didn't know today if the state
would pay a So gas bill, although
he had an attorney generals opin-
ion authorizing him to use state
car on official business and charge
expenses to the state.
Controllers office attaches said
the lieutenant governors request
for the opinion apparently was oc-
casioned by a refusal of the office
to approve a So claim for gasoline,
but that the opinion only author
lied Pattersons expenditures when
attending board and commission
meetings. There will have to be
satisfactory proof, they said, that
the gas bill was such an expense.
