 Threaten
 Egyptians
MussoIini's Spokesman Openly DenounGes Aid
 Given 10 British

ROME. Aug 1i. - Italy has warned Egypt that she must ac- cept full responsibility for her aid to Britain in the war against the Axis. The warning came in an edi- torial by Premier Mussolini's spokes- man, Virginia Gayda. in the news paper Giornal DItalia. It was the first time that the Italian press had openly denounced Egypt as an ally of Britain. Gayda declared that British air attacks launched from Egypt have been directed against not only Italian Libya but against the Italian peninsula it. self and Italian islands in the Med- iterraneaii and Aegean Seas.
 The Cairo Government previously had taken the position that it Is giving no aid to the British, out side the provisions of the Anglo Egyptian alliance. Gayda declared that the people of Egypt cannot ig- nore the fact that the British have taken possession of certain Egyptian port cities and air bases and turned them into instruments of war against Italy.

ventory control, the problems of supervision and auditing, and the problems of transmitting the funds accruing from the sales of the re- tail outlets to the central office would be so difficult and expensive as to absorb all profits which might be hoped for.
 "As stated in the beginning of this letter, this Board in addition to operating this monopoy system has complete centralized licensing control of the sale of beer and wine and consequently I am familiar with both methods of control. It is my belief that you will find the licensing system better meth cd than the monopoly system for Alaska.
 Yours very truly,

value to you in your consideration of the possibility of a monopoly system of liquor control for Alaska.
 ''The Washington State Liquor Control Board, in addition to oper- ating 51 stores and 134 agencies for the sale of hard liquor and wine in package form, has complete licensing control over the manufac turing, wholesaling and retailing of beer and Washington wines. There are some 5000 retail establishments in this state selling beer and wine.
 Cur stores are located in the larger centers of population. They are wholly controlled from Olym pia by the Board, that is rent, light heat, hiring and firing of all personnel. payment of salaries, etc On the whole it has appeared to be undesirable to put such stores in communities with less than 5000 population. In addition to these stores the Board operates Sys- tenn of agencies which are located in outlying communities. In these agencies a local mesGflant is or dinarily appointed to handle the sale of liquor. Prices, etc, are com pletely controlled by the Board from Olympia and the liquor stocks are owned by the Board The agent is paid certain sum per month for which he handles the sales, fur nishes space and takes care of all details in connection herewith
 WarehOusing Problem
 'All of the liquor is WarehOused in a central warehouse in Seattle and shipments are made once or twice week by common carrier from the warehouse in Seattle to the various stores and agencies.
 All sales are for cash and the amount of the sales in the stores is deposited to the account of the Liquor Board in a local bank each day, such funds being then trans ferred by that local bank to one of the central banks with which the Board has large deposit ar engagements. The agencies deposit the amount of their sales in a To- cal bank each day to special ac- count which is opened in the agents name. The agent transmits the bal ance in this account to the Board weekly.
 Every store and agency is SC located that it can receive freight and mail six days a week. The Board has two store supervisors who are on the road constantly and they visit each store on the average of once in two weeks. IT. addition, three are three travelling auditors who audit the accounts of each store each month. T h { agency supervisor has three as- sistant supervisors working under him and these four men visit anc audit the agencies on the average of about once every three or foul weeks.
