Peace Comes to ST. Joseph:$ Leper Isle

CANTON Correspondence of the
Associated Press).-A measure of peace
has come at last to st. Joseph's 'Leper
Island" and in the story of this island
located In the East River about 80 miles
from Canton, you have a full touch of
the strange happenings that fringe this
war in China.
Eight hundred lepers have for years
lived on this island, in a manner SEN
fenced" there by their disease. Four
Canadian Catholic sisters have spent Is
years on the island, devoting their lives
to care of the lepers and confronted
with daily problems, not the least of
which is the fear of bandits.
Then came the war and succession
OF events which have tested the courage
of the four Canadian sisters to a fine
degree.
During October of last year some 1000
war refugees moved in on the island, The
refugees tore down large buildings to
construct small ones for themselves. To
the problem of lepers was added the
problem of trying to help the refugees.
On November 81, according to one of
the sisters, the island was bombed, with
four bombs exploding only a few hum
dred feet from where the sisters lived.

were attacked by 40 villagers and robbed
of spare clothes and money. The priest
wrote to the villages, threatening to
report the matter to the Japanese unless
restitution was made. The villagers
returned the money and clothes.
Such is the story of st. Joseph's Leper
Island where four Canadian sisters have

Italian Movie Promotion
By Curb on Critics Urged

ROME OP.-Vittorio Mussolini, film
producing son of the Duce, has hit upon
a plan to promote Italian movies.
AS his father has sought to popularize
fascism by prohibiting any press criti-

films more popular by curbing movie
critics..
The younger Mussolini/ in an article
written for his own movie magazine,
Cinema, proposed that daily newspapers
be prohibited from reviewing Italian
Aims, and the task be left to weekly or
biweekly periodicals devoted to the film
industry, where he feels they would re-
ceive better treatment.
He complained that some critics for
the daily newspapers have treated some
excellent italian films unkindly, with the
result that Italians wouldn't 60 to 80

Dealings, during the greater part
of the proceedings, were even slowes
than in the preceding session. Near
the fourth hour the ticker tape fire.
quently was motionless.
Domestic business news, generally,
was viewed as fairly constructive in
brokerage circles. In addition, talk
of a European flareup when the
Spanish civil war is settled seemed
to have Waned But Speculative
contingents inclined to keep COM
