Import Curb ImperiIs
Argentine Auto Plants

BUENOS AIRES, April 20.-The

try faces suspension Of operations in
June in its Argentina plants unless
import restrictions are nghtened.
The threat to assemblies is the re-
suit Of the refusal of the auto firms
to subscribe to additional Argentine
treasury notes amounting to $3,O00,-
600 in return for permits to import
that amount of additional cars.
A year ago the companies con-
cerned weathered a threatened
close-down by accepting a plan to
buy treasury notes (Which by agree
ment were not negotiable except in
certain circumstances in return for
import permits.
A fresh crisis looms as the volume
OF permits approved for the 1910 au-
tomotive year, December l, 1899, to
November II, 1910, nears exhaustion.
Argentine authorities have au-
thorized United States automobile
imports Of $13,000,0O during the
current automotive year, of which
nearly two-thirds is covered by un-
incumbered dollar exchange. The
remainder must be matched by i'm
porters buying treasury notes from

Freedom From Control
BY Allies Demanded

ROME, April 20 tP.-Authorita-
tive Fascist spokesmen tonight re-
newed their insistence on freedom
from British and French control of
the Mediterranean as a necessary
condition of lasting peace.
The authoritative Fascist editor,
Vlrginio Gayda, devoted five columns
in his II Giornale d'Italia to Italy's
claims in the Mediterranean. But
neither Gayda nor other spokesmen
gave any clue as to how Italy in
tended to break what the newspaper
Lavoro Fascista called "a perfect
stranglehold in which the Italians
are to die of suffocation whenever
others desire"
Gayda complained the allies were
boesting that they held Italy in
submission. One of their war aims,
he wrote, was to maintain their
supremacy in the Mediterranean for
the purpose of depriving Italy of her
right to choose freely her alliances
and to interpret and defend her
national rights"
Gayda echoed general Italian dis
satisfaction with British control at
Gibraltar and Suez, but contradicted
what he said was a widely held be-
lief that Italy was entirely at the
allies mercy, saying that Italy's
more than 200 submarines" and
powerful air force made her control
of the middle Mediterranean easy
in fact, sure"
Rome celebrates the anniversary
of its founding tomorrow, which
comedies with Italian labor day.
Fascists were reported to have
been summoned to gather in the
Piazza Venezia in front of Premier
Mussolini's office. However, there
was no indication that II Duce would
make any important pronouncement.

Reynaud Pressing
For UNDERSTANDING
With Italy, Spain
Rome Still Unresponsive,
But France Continues
To Pursue Efforts
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, April 20.-Paul Reynaud's
government today pursued it's efforts
to reach an understanding with a
thus far unresponsive Italy while
French troops poured into Nor
wegian battlefields to collaborate
with their British allies in the
widened war against Germany.
The premier told the Senate
Foreign Affairs Committee in an
exhaustive international survey
that France, looking toward a
Mediterranean entente" has con-
tinued "a friendly exchange of
views" with Italy and Spain since
the beginning of the European war.
Will Pursue Efforts.
"Outside of all theological con-
siderations, the French government
will pursue it's efforts in regard to
these two countries in view of
Mediterranean entente which con-
stltuteS in its eyes one of the in
dispensable bases of peace" a COM
muique said.
A Mediterranean entente is made
all the more desirable in allied eyes
because of the spread of the battle
front far to the northWard, although
allied official speeches and press
comment have contained strong
hints that Britain and France be-
lieve they have enough power to
cope with Italy should she extend
the battlefields further by casting
her lot militarily with Germany.
French observers who contend
that Premier Mussolini is on the
verge of making vital decisions re-
peatedly have called attention to the
allied army in the Near East under
Gen. Maxine Weygand and allied
naval superiority.
Reynaud Sees Balkan ENJOYS.
French interest in the Near East
was emphasized late today when M.
Reynaud conferred with the Minis
ters of Greece and Bulgaria. He also
saw the Swiss Minister.
The first disclosure in France that
troops have landed in Norway and
are taking part in the operations"
came in the regular morning COM
munique of the high command.
Military authorities asserted the
first landing of the French in the
embattled northern kingdom was
followed by successive landings at
various other points. The number
of troops involved was not given.

RURAL MAIL BOX IMPROVEMENT WEEfA

At the annual Ohio Letter Carriers Assocla-
ton held last week in Columbus, that orgniza-
ton went on record as condemning the old style
mail boxes Attention was called to the fact that
MANY of them do not protect mail Mom wind
and rain
The postoffice department does not ask patrons
to discard non~approved style OF boxes, but 1T
does encourage patrons to provide suitable recep-
tacles for mail and has certain suggestions as 20
how they should be erected, to be of the
most service and to be convenient to the mail
carriers, and to also present neat appearance
Unsightly mail boxes detract from the natural
scenic beauty of highways and new boxes
can be purchased at very reasonable prices. An
other suggestion which is not only convenience
to the carriers. but useful in other ways, is to
have the name of owners inscribed plainly on the
side of the boxes.
More and attention is given to the mat
ter of beautifying our highways, and many miles
of highways are being improved from year to
year, and with old shabby mail boxes along them
they sort of give the impression that something is
lacking in civic pride
The postoffce department has designated the
week-beginning today, August first, as Rural
Mail Box Improvement Week. and we hope that
the R. F. D. patrons will take kindly to the gov
ernments suggestion, and do their part in carry
ing them out, which can be done, as stated, at u
very small cost. To do so will make our fine r
F. D. service still better, and also add much to in
crease the attractiveness of highways on
which vast sums of money are constantly being
spent.

i'm FARLEY-A GREAT LOVABLE
CHARACTER

Following the Chicago Democratic convention
Republican propaganda was spread, the purpose
OF which was to get James A. Farley, for eight
years chairman of the Democratic national
mittee, to break away from the Roosevelt-Wal-
lace ticket But in that they did not succeed. No
doubt the same parties also started the propa-
ganda eight years ago, when Mr.. Roosevelt
first chose Mr.. Farley as chairman. Then he was
dubbed cheap promoter, but they badly
mistaken. They found him to be the best most
honorable national charman-either political
party ever had-a who never broke his word,
never failed friend, and postmaster gen.
eral became the most efficient head of the postal
service since Ben amin Franklin.
Mr.. Farley has announced that he is to retire
as chairman; but it is not bcause of any feelings
he has against the Roosevelt--Wallace ticket, but
because he cannot afford to ignore money
making opportunities in the business world. The
name of Jim Farley presented candidate
for president at the Chicago convention, and he
received a splendid ovation, but he failed to land
the nomination. But he did not sulk did
other prominent Democrat eight years ago at the
same place under similar conditions and the
manner in which he conducted himself at that
convention, added immensely to his popularity,
and he retires chairman the most beloved
Democrat In the country, outside of the presi-
dent.
Mr.. Farley at the convention gave the dele
gates free rein by stating Il never ask any man
to do anything for me he doesn't want to do"
and he made his last stand on the simple Demo-
cratic principle that "a nation of free men, and
IN party dedicated to liberalism, delegates
should vote, each according to their own con-
science"
AS he enters private life, it is the wish of mil
lions of friends and admirers that he will be
just successful, as he has been at the head of
great political party which he has so ably pilot
ed t'.'

among those who are proud of their early associa
ton with the famous. Nc Guffey readers. Eey|
& The infllience Of the aMeGuffey readers. during
the years they were the veritable backbone Of
common school education the only education that
was available for the bulk of the population, is
far too great to be calculated. They filled need,
and did it admirably.
Our educational system has undergone vast
and radical changes since the days of the one
room school house, when progress was marked
by the reader" pupil was in and there was no
such thing as grades Yet those whose edu-
cational foundation was the McGuffey readers
went out into the world and gave good account
Of themselves.
Indeed there are times when we wonder if fa-
liliarity with the lessons taught in the Mo Guffey
would not add much to the educational product
Of our present-day schools Those lessons in
courtesy honesty, ethics, morals, courage, the
dignity of work, unselhshness, kindness, patriot
ism, thrift punctuality, truthfulness and pety
should not be lost. They are needed more
gently today than ever
individuals have changed. Habits of conduct
have changed. Standards of honesty and morals
have changed much in the past three four
decades. The basic principles laid down in the
McGuffey lessons will apply aptly today as
they did at the turn of the century. They
pressed truths that ageless. It would be i'm
possible to do full homer to Dr. NJ McGuffey.
We agree 1GO percent with the foregoing edi-
torial taken from the Ohio State Journal. Out
side of the Bible, we believe that no book, or set
OF books, have ever been published, that had so
great influence for good as the McGufey
readers We would call particular attention to
next to the last paragraph In the above editorial
read it over again. Should we ever find our
selves looking for different locality in which to
reside (the chances that we never will), one
thing is certain, and that is it would be a place
where there is good, live McGuEey society
But better still-put McGufeys readers back
in our schools

Television is vision at distance.
1t is the electrical transmission and
reception OF visual images. Los
Angeles, headquarters for movies, is
about to become headquarters for
televsion. They have installed 800
receiving sets and another hundred
are to be installed. This will mean
a weekly audience of $500. 1t is
claimed that Station W6XAO is the
oldest. 1t has broadcast (telecast)
over 1000 program, using 1000
feet of pictures. =.
The images are cast on mirror
10k by eight inches, In private
home 80 people can view the picture
without crowding Sound accompa-
nies the picture as it does in the
movies. The Tournament of Roses
at Pasadena at Christmas was tele-
cast, as was also a downtown fire
last week. 1t is accompanied with
some danger, as the receiver is
charged with 5000 volts. Many
new radios are equipped for tele-,
vision.
There are 2O,OOO,O0O telephones
in the states, and about the same
number of radios, not including
those in autos. Television in 20
years may be as common as the
radio. There is another angle,
that of employment. II a new in
dustry is in the offing, there will be
new jobs, making and servicing this
new convenience.
