The Fascists, however, view the matter in the opposite light They term the decline- a “grave danger” and ‘“suicidal tendency” and have set themselves to check it. show Large Familics Win Prizes Prizes frequently are offered to families with of healthy children and Musso- lini repeatedly tells the nation that a people must multiply to be in ascendency.

The de- cislon means that for at least an- other few months the United States will keep its full naval strength concentrated on the West Coast. The scouting fleet was trans- ferred to the Pacific Coast early this year for the Hawaiian and Pacific Fleet maneuvers. When conditions in Shanghai and Man- churia became tense, it was de- cided to postpone the return of the warshins of the Scouting Force to the hcme base on the Atlantic until Octcber. A few days ago de- cision was reached to again delay the return of the Asiatic Fleet until next January. The new eight-inch gun cruis- ers represent the backbone of the Scouting Force. In the event of an emergency in the Asiatics these fast, hard shooting cruisers would be invaiuable to the battle fleet which normally remains in the Pacific. At the present time the battle fleet is weakened by the * absence of three battleships now undergoing modernization.
