Fascism has slowly but surely
brought Italy world prestige, {
These officials felt that thvl

preciate the point Italy has taken |
at Geneva to prove that the Ethi

requisities for membership in a
society of civilized states.
If the IL.eague and the world
should not recognize Italy’s power

Mussolini asserted, the Italian nn-'
tion will go ahead nevertheless, {
Although no reference was made;
at Geneva yesterday to sanctions,
a government spokesman said it
was “most important that all the

tion of any sort or any nathre will
divert Italy from her course.” l

that up.”

TALMADGE ATTACKS I
ATLANTA - (® — Governor
Eugene Talmadge told a group nifl
Clayton county farmers today he
would get them out of the “grip” of
the federal government next year
if they could ‘grin and bear it”
until after the 1936 national elec
tion. !
With G. C. Berry as their spokes- |
man, the farmers vigited Talmadge
in his executive suite at the capi-‘
tol, asking advice.
Berry said they were all on fed
eral rehabilitation farms near Jon
eshoro, Ga., that the governmenti
was “taking everything we canl
make, selling it and leaving us with |
nothing.” s dials
Talmadge literally snorted:
MThis AAA ig the worst proposi
tion known to the history of the
United States, and we're going to |}
get vou out of its grip.” .
Continuing a description of their
conditions, Berry said that 102 re~|
‘habilitated farmers in Clayton
county had no clothes, their chil
dren had no school books and that
they were in a “desperate plight.”|
Berry asked this question: I
“Governor, what can we do? Tell!
us and we will do It.” !
Besides Berry others in the dele-|
gation included E. D. Hand, Barney
Betsill, Ben Carter,r Ed Waller,
Grover Parker and 8. A. Hudgins.
Hand told the governor he har-‘
vested one bale of cotton last week. :
He gaid he put it in a \vm'ehnuse,l
got his receipt and returned to the |
farm. A few days later, he said a,l
government agent came to him and,
asked for the receipt, saying he h:id'
sold the cotton to pay rent on the
farm. !
1 didn’t give him the receipt; 1
told him to try and get it,” Hundl
?added. 1
