PROPOSES \

(By The Associated Press)
ROME, Nov. 12, Benito Mussolini
tqday put an end to the parliament
ary machinery of Italy. He predict
ed that the experiment in self ad
ministration for industry, commerce
and business would lead to a world
wide repudiation of the old poltic
al methods.
His system apparently embodies
the latest methods of carrying on
legislation by the people. To come
to a direct ‘point, the new political
system, if it may be called such,
will be administered by business
people instead of politicians. In oth
er words, the business man will
have more to say, in a direct way,
how the government shall be con
ducted.
Suggests Loaning
Large Sums Money
Take Care Relief
(By The Associated Press)*
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12, Anoth
er suggestion which is gaining fav
or in government councils, is to
lend a large number of families
ienough money “at One shot” to
take them off the relief rolls, and
make them self-supporting units.
Hints by Chairman Hopkins of
the Federal Emergency Relief Ad
ministration, has focussed national
attention on this idea. Primarily for
the purpose of providing labor, the
FERA is directly connected with the
purpose in mind of relieving un
employment. In granting, or loaning
money to individuals, the govern
ment will necessarily be particular
ly interested in providing employ
ment.

Committee, said that the first of

EUROPEAN
SITUATION
IS TAUGHT
(By The Associated Press)
UNDATED, Nov. 11, Europe came
to the eve of the Armistice’s 16th
anniversary with fear for the future,
tempering its celebration of the re
turn of peace, in contrast with the
delirious joy that greeted the end
of the war.
It looked apprehensively toward
the plebiscite to be taken in the
Saar section in January, which
seems to indicate the “hang-over”
of the past war.
This appears to be the chief cloud
on the horizon, and can probably be
taken as the prevailing mood in
the most dangerous war section in
the world. ‘
The pMPlscite to be taken in the
Saar in January is a small factor
in comparison to the large countries
directly interested in the proceed*
ings, but it is such small, apparent
ly inconsequential things, which ig
nite the spark culminating in war.
All of Europe at the present re
presents an armed camp, much the
same as during the year or two
prior to the Worlg War. The only
feature not visual at this time is
the actual preparedness of the var
ious nations which seem connected
with the political situation in Eur
oDe.
Despite the evidence of progress
in the world since 19M> the indica
tions of war continue to be delib
erately overlooked. During the next
few months several pre-scheduled
conferences on war-disarmament are
to be held. Taken into considera
tion, will probably be the fact that
many individual meetings have been
held before-hand in which nothing
toward disarmament has been ac
complished. According to prevailing
opinions, no actual accomplish
ments are expected to be arrived at
during the coming meetings.
Ramsay MacDonald, Premier of
England, stated that the Saar pleb
iscite might possibly result in hard
feelings amongst the nations of Eur
ope. He said however, that despite
England’s move, or attempt to pro
mote peace by disarmament, wfuch
proved fruitless, that Great Britain
was “in the meantime taking steps
to secure a position, that if she is
met by aggression, we will be able
to defend ourselves.”
BOLD PLANS ARE
TALKED OF FOR
RECOVERY SOON

toy me /vssociaiea rTess/
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10, (Copy
right), A bold move for a auper re
covery under which industry will be
directed to expand production, with
the government bearing the risk of
any losses entailed, is now under con
sideration by high administration
aides.
Gne of the most seriously consider
ed plans is to have the government
figure out the normal demand for
staple commodities and figure out
staple commodities and guarantee
the purchase of any production with
in that amount, for which there is
no market.
Proponents believe there will be
no substantial surpluses if the plan
is properly administered. They al
so contend that it will be cheaper
to take care of the unemployed this
way than through direct relief and
the banks.
