the partition of the Prov
ince of Venezia Giulia and the
Observation-Disclosures Of Trieste.
Both the Italian government and
the Yugoslav, the two nations
directly involved, have rejected the
compromise and denounced 1t
violently. Yet Italy is to be dis
armed and her frontier fortifica-
tons dismantled while Yugoslavla
is to remain armed.
Now obviously this is no settle
ment whatsoever as between Italy
and Yugoslavia. The only condl-
tons under which it could become
a settlement is that RI i n,
America and Russia could be
counted upon to be firmly united
in imposing it on both Italy
and Y%ugoslavia. Since Italy is
to be made impotent, it is against
Yugoslavia which remains armed,
that the settlement would have
to be guaranteed. Only the Soviet
can restrain Yugoslavia.
For under this strange treaty the
British and Americans are to
Italy within ninety days.
After that there is nothing to
restrain Yugoslavia except such
action as the Security Council Of
the United Nations may take. and
the action of the Security Council
depends, of course, on the active
consent of the Soviet Union. So
the whole p.ecarious structure OF
the settlement rests on a hypo-
thetical guaranty that Russia will

WILD BOAR HUNT
BECKONS NIMR0DS
East Tennessee To Stage
Dangerous Sporting
Event In October

TELL1co PLAINS, Tenn, Sept.
11.-R-1f you possess a high
powered blunderbuss and can
shiny up a tree in a hurry you're
the guy they'll be looking for here
in the rugged East Tennessee
mountains, come October.
The occasion will be the annual
wild boar hunt, only big game
safari of it's kind in America, open
ing October 81. And if you've
v stalked the tusk-studded Rus
sian wild boar-the kind roaming
t. ese parts-here's fair warning:
it's a sport only for the hardest
breed.
Ever since the hunts first were
organized eight years ago hunts
men have been coming in growing
numbers. Nobody but the bears
has gotten hurt so far, but track
ing the ~ferocious animals is a
dangerous pastime.
Limit Qpota
Armed with high-powered rifles
and trailing packs of specially
trained ploothounds, hunters will
seek to bag a limited quota from
some 600 to 700 boar which inhabit
the 81, 0O0-acre Tellico Game Man
agement area in the wilds Of
Cherokee National forest.
Nowhere else in these United
States, says the Tennessee Con-
department, may hunters
find this type of quarry. The fast,
aggressive animals, s o m e W h a t
larger than a domestic hog, are
descendants of two dozen tuskers
brought from Europe's Harz and
Ural mountains in 1912 by a group
of British sportsmen.
The British formed a wild boar
hunting club. During World War
I, the fenced-in roars, left unat-
tended, escaped. They and their
progeny--some of whom mixed
with the native razorback-have
been on the loose ever since.
