By painting white lines to divide ihe streets into two sections for north me and southbound traffic, with additional | in either section to mark traffic anes, and the promulgation of a reg- ulation to force motorists to keep vithin these defined paths, Col. Moller telieves that conditions on Sixteenth treet will be improved materially. affic Director M. O. Eldridge gave indorsement to the idea and indi- ed that it might be tried out in the pring, when the weather is more favorable. 1 Hi ‘Something force motorist iddle of the Road Hogs. ill have to be done to to keep out of the street,” said Col. Moller. flic is retarded, especially on Six h street, because slow-moving ‘hog’ the center of the e ehicles will roadway.” Incidentally, Mr. Eldridge revealed it he has requested the Bureau of Standards to make a test of different | pes of paint and recommend the best adapted for traffic marking. Paint now being used does nor have the durability and longevity that the Traf- | fie Bureau desires, it was said. Thus | ir this year approximately 1,200 gal- e been used at a cost of about gallon. Col. Moller spoke at a meeting last | night of the citizens’ committee ap- pointed to study the magistrate sys- tem of Police Courts and advocated the creation of a traffic violation bu- reau, which would remove the neces- | sity for motorists going into court in | 30,000 out of 40,000 traffic cases each vear. The bureau was suggested as | an alternative to the proposed magis- trate system. i To Save Time. According to Col. Moller it would @ motorists an opportunity to waive and plead guilty to minor in- ctions of the traffic regulations, pay n agreed schedule of fines and spend no money for attorney's fees. The bu- reau, he suggested, should be housed ; in the traffic department. “The avowed principal purpose of the magistrate system,” he said, “is to keep policemen on the streets in- stead of in court. I do not believe it will hawe this effect. Instead of keep- ing them in a central court down town, it will keep them in branch courts in police stations, saving them only the time of going from the sta- tion houses downtown and back. The traffic violation bureau plan will keep them out of court altogether.” DR. WILFLEY SPEAKS . AT KEITH’S SERVICES World Needs Star of Bethlehem, He Declares, in Special Noon- day Sermon. The world needs the Star of Beth- lehem today, Rev. Dr. Earle Wilfley, pastor of the Vermont Avenue Chris- tlan Church, said today at the noon- day Christmas service, held under the auspices of the District Federation of | Women's Clubs at Keith's Theater.

Arising quickly from his high-backed seat, he took several steps, then swung toward the inter- viewer and said in staccato tones: No Time to Lose. “To resume its proper place after centuries of slavery, and to remedy the pitiful poverty of resources, the Jtalian people have no time to lose. 1 tell you, and make it known to the whole world, that not even the last man among these 42,000,000 Ttalians has a single minute to lose. “Do you believe we can stop our march at every step to bend to pick up these miserable scraps of paper which are thrown at us? Moreover, these calumnies have the flat, crooked form of the boomerang and, like that Australian weapon, finish sooner or later, by returning of their own force to the feet of those who hurled them. At the present moment the gigantic force which is behind the lictoral loan, Mussolini asserted, eloquently demonstrates the true interests of the Italians. “eThis loan,” he said, “is undoubted- ly one of the most complex opera- tions in the history of finance. It is impossible as yet to estimate precise- ly what will be the total sum raised by consolidation of the floating debt by popular subscriptions. I desire that Ttaly save the honor of her mon- etary flag—that she win a sweeping victory in the battle of the lira.

It will, therefore, have a good effect on the crisis of the cur- rency and the crisis in industry.” Contrary to the calamity shouting of his opponents, the premier said, the new system of a state without elections was already producing bene- ficial results. Technicians Are Selected. “An acute analysis of the Italian political system, he continued, “'show: that, outside the electoral system, process of political and administra- tion selection of ,competent men, which might be called non-official, is operating. Henceforth, techniclans will take the places of so-called pure politicians. “The syndical movement has al- ready taken tangible shape beside the parliamentary state. To a certain extent the incorporated state—which in the social ficld is the supreme intuition of the Fascist revolution- is already surpassing and excelling the parliamentary state. “At any rate, the Italians haven't any sympathy for universal suffrage, because they have known by bitter experience that it is not a system best adapted to reveal their values and that it is impossible to constitute a real directive class on the basis of such a system. “This is demonstrated by the fact that Ttaly has never had an election in which more than 40 per cent of the electors participated.” It was at this point that Mussolini stoppec speaking of the problems of | Yis country, and, with a boyish look seldom seen on his face, volced his longing to see America, the land of energy. French Friendship Sought. A Franco-Italian agreement is one of the fundamental necessities of Fu- ropean evolution, Premier Mussolint declared. The Duce's guiding idea is the neces- sity for providing for Italy's crylng need for moral, spiritual and physical expansion By means of a pacific, but not pacifist, policy. The fulfiliment of these needs, Italy’s master main- talned, War 'from being incompat- | ible with friendship and co-operation with other rations, really requires co- operation and mutual understanding | with them, notably with France and England. | Mussolini declared himself to be a | firm believer in the restoratign of the European balance of power, expressing the conviction that such equilibrium constitutes the formula best adapted for the maintenance of peace. | Referring to the so-called Asiatic | peril, he urged the necessity of aban- doning the tendency to regard Aslatics as barbarians, glving as his opinion that all peril from the Orfent will have ceased to exist when the mental | barriers between the Eastern and | Western peoples are broken down. | The leader of Fascism, his face beaming with health and vigor, de- spite the fact that the reception came after a six-hour-long constant stream | of interviews with cabinet ministers | and officials, which would have ex- hausted any ordinary human being, installed himself behind his huge desk | as if prepared to withstand a siege. | Balance of Power Theory. “I am entirely in favor of the res- toration of balance and equilibrium as a formula most adapted for maintain- ing peace,” the premier continued, *I believe that if we place two identical weights on the two sides of an ideal weighing balance, equilibrium, in T PAYS in better health to insis upon EVERFRESH Ask for Citrate of Magnesia. evVERFRES MAGNESTA [ Sealed in new non-returnable bottles inaw” underscored.

But if we place in them a living organism in perpetual growth the index of the scales will be changed with a*velocity equal to that of the difference between the development of the two organisms. The organism which is developing itself with the greater rapidity will soon surpass the weight of the other and will cause the scales to tip in its favor. “Equilibrium between peoples, which are the most living of all organisms, must, therefore, be continually re-es- tablished. In what I have said you will find the answer to the question so often asked of our colonial aspirations and desires. One must not describe Italy as though she were lying in hid- ing behind a hedge ready to jump at the throat of the first passing nation, to tear a colony from her hands. This Itallan attitude, created in bad) faith by the fantasy of certain of our ad- s, Is absolutely non-existent. “We do not believe that it is as vet possible in the present phase of world evolution to abolish war abso- lutely, and we zre therefore trying to be ready to defend ourselves at any moment and against anybody. | But I know that the Italian people need first of all and above all to work." “Therefore, although our policy is not ‘pacifist’ in the Utoplan serso of the word, it is, however, essentllly ‘pacific.’ ' Moreover, I have demon- strated this by the numerous pacts I have concluded at every time and in_every place possible, and I shall continue firmly along this road. Expects Italy to Expand. “I have firm falth that the urgent problem of Itallan expansion can be resolved by these methods. This faith is based ypon recognition of the fact that our greatest problem has been understood throughout the world. The newspapers of all countries, from Scanginavia. to America, publish ar- ticles explaining and discussing Itallan needs and proposing a means of sat- isfying them. “l can almost say it has become an international problem. It is inter- national, in fact, because it is to the interest of everybody that Ttallans do not suffocate every hour more surely in their narrow borders.” Turning to relations with France, the premler maintained that the inci- dents between the two natlons were due to the machinations of a few individuals. “These Incidents,” he said, “‘were due, above all, to little groups of troublemakers, who, beyond the Alps, are composed of consplrators hostile to the Fascist regime who have set- tled on French territory, and of groups on this side of the Alps formed often of persons expelled from the Fascist party and of agents provo- cateurs.
