FACIST REFORMER
WOULD FREE GENIUS
OF ALL RESTRAINTS
ROME, June 16.—(/P)—The enthu
siasm in the United Slates for Am
ericanization, during the first few
years after the World War, now has
its counterpart in Italy in the Fas
cists’ cultural program of Italianiza
tiou but, whereas the American re
formers used the public schools and
universities to attain their purpose,
the vanguard of the Fascisti urge
the abolition of the present type of
institutions of learning.
Abolish the schools, banish the pro
fessors, and release the creative
spirit of youth: such is the creed of
the most advanced of the Fascist ed
ucational reformers, who insist that
“culture cannot be taught in the
schools."
A number of addresses setting
forth this general program were made
at the recent Fascist Cultural Con
gress at Bologna, but even more
startling proposals were advanced
by F. T. Marinetti, ardent Fascist
and founder of the Italian futurist
movement, which now numbers 300
groups in various parts of the na
tion.
Art, the speaker said, was the
best means of -propaganda for Italy,
the best method of spreading Ital
ianity abroad and of developing at
home. Hence there should be estab
lished a “Chamber of Art," welcom
ing the work of all Italians; an “Ar
tists’ Bank,” supporting the workers,
and a clearinghouse for work of ar
tists.
“The greatness of our country,”
maintained Marinetti, “comes from
her poets, painters, sculptors, archi
tects and her musicians, and from
her color, air, electricity, blood, ra
dio and coal; creative genius, the only
raw material in which Italy abounds.”
The national art salons, he contin
ued, instead of welcoming the works
of great foreigners, should show the
works of Italians; the Scala, San
Carlo and Costanzi opera houses, in
stead of representing Wagner should
foster young Italians; the Syracuse
Theater, now used solely for the pro
duction of Greek Classics, should also
open competitions for modern Italian
Playwrights.
Laws should be passed requiring
the exclusive use of the Italian lan
guage on all menus, hotel stationary
and commercial papers. Other laws
should require that strictly Italian
architecture be used in constructing
new buildings, especially public build
ings and monuments, and that all
printing, whether of books or news
papers, should be with Italian va
rieties of slype.
All academies, professional schools
and art institutions should be abol

Improvement Navigation
Is Not Being Slighted
SURVEYS AND INSTALLATION OF
AIDS TO SHIPPING LIMITED
ONLY BY FUNDS.
(From Juneau Empire.)
The Department of Commerce is
prepared to proceed with its work
of safeguarding navigation in Alas
kan waters as rapidly as funds are
made available by Congressional ap
propriations, according to a letter
just received by the Governor of Al
aska from Assistant Secretary J. M.
Drake. The communication was in
response to a memorial passed by
the Legislature recently urging sur
veys and erection of navigation aids
in the waters of Southwestern
Alaska.
Mr. Drake pointed out the activi
ties of the Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey and Lighthouse Service in all
Alaskan waters during the past few
years and particularly in the section
covered by the memorial.
“The condition of navigation due
to fog and storm and long darkness
for half of the year, to the consid
erable amount of precipitous and
rocky coast line, the range of tide
with strong currents, the great
depths with infrequent, convenient
landings, are fully appreciated by
the Department of Commerce and
warrant as much aid being given
mariners in the way of more and
improved sea marks as the ship
traffic and the resources of the
country justify,” Mr. Drake said.
During the last fiscal year, he
added, the Department expended
$365,718 in constructing new light
and fog signals. Work is in pro
gress on a new station at Cape
Spencer and “the Department is de
sirous of installing automatic aids
(blinkers) at Cape Decision and
Resurrection Bay.
Since 1822 much work has been
done in western and sou thwes tern

i waters including Kachemak Bay and
Cook Inlet, and surveys made in
Wide and Portage Bay. Shelikoff
Strait and Chignik Bay. Topographic
surveys have been made of 618 miles
of the shoreline, greater than the
'length of the outside coast line from
San Diego to San Francisco Bay;
over 7,000 miles of sounding lines
have been accomplished which is
greater by 1,000 miles than twice the
distance between New York and
San Francisco; more than 80,000
soundings have been taken and a
water area of 1,800 square miles has
been surveyed, he said.
In conclusion Mr. Drake asured
the Governor that there would be
no let up of the Department’s work
and vessels would be kept in the
field as long as possible.
