12 = 3 SUNBAY [TALY T0 EXTEND SCOPE OF UNIONS Council to Include All Forms| of Industrial, Professional and Economic Life. STAR. WASHINGTON. I SISTER ON BROADWAY ROME (®.—"“The Corporative State,” | as Italy's interesting experiment in the orga: of government is called, | is undergoing extensive changes on | the occasion of its first anniversary. “The Corporative State” means the | body of Italy's unions of employers and | employes, through which her represent- | ative government is carried on. There | being no political parties except that | of the Pascists, these unions nomi- | nate representatives to the Chamber of | ‘Deputies, subject to revision by the grand council of the party. They also regulate the economic life of the nation. They compose differ- | ences between capital and labor. They | are called corporations, and hence the | name “Corporative State.” | Called Most Original Work. | ‘The Corporative State is declared th most characteristic and original of the | constructive works of the Fascist revo- lution. The changes in its orglmzl-l tion will tend to extend its originality | and influence. | Thae developments center around th national council of corporations, the governing body within the Corporative State. Joseph Bottal, minister of cor- porations, ias presented to Parliament the necessary law for extending this: national council to embrace every form | of industrial, economic and professional life. The national council will con- tinue, of course, to depend, as all things in Italy depend, upon Mussolini. Contains Seven Sections. Bvery division of legitimate work for profit in Italy is contained under seven sections, whose ruling councils compose the national council of corporations. They are, briefly: 1. The professions and the arts, comprising lawyers, journalists, editors, doctors. veterinarians, economists, sociologists, chemists, pharmacists, painters, sculptors, authors, musicians, architects, actors and others connected with the theater. 2. Employers in industry, industrial workers, foremen and two representa- tives of the national association of co-operation. 3—Employers and employes in agri- culture, overseers, agricultural techni- cians and two representatives of the co- operation association. 4—Employers and employes in trade, foremen and two co-operative repre- sentatives. 5--Employers. workers and foremen in Sea and air transport and co-operative | Tepresentatives. 6—Employers, employes and foremen engaged in land transport and internal waterways navigation. T7—Employers and employes of banks. Salaries Are Arranged. ‘The corporations arrange the salaries of the employes and working conditions. | If there is a dispute the governing body | of the corporation settles it. or it goes | o‘n to the National Council of Corpora- tions. There are no strikes in Italy. The Corporative State has stopped * them. | ‘When there are disputes such as usually would result in strikes in other coun- tries. the corporation settles the dispute, and the government backs the decision. | This year, for the first time, the cor- porations made the nominations for the Chamber of Deputies. Each corporation was allotted a certain number of nomi- nations. Section No. 1, for instance, nominated 160 members. The sum to- tal of these nominations is greater than | the number to be elected—400. The | Fascist grand council makes the final selection. The voter says “yes” or “no” wiht entire 400. H cannot scratch the ticket. CHINA’S-TEA TRADE DECLINES SHARPLY Break With Russia Is Main Cause| of Decrease in Exports. By the Associated Press. SHANGHAL—China's tea trade is | in a serious state of depression as a Tesult of the rupture of Soviet relations. In Russia Cathay lost her biggest tea customer, the backbone of her trade in that commodity for half a decade. Fifteen years ago, when China’s for- eign tea trade reached its peak, $40,- 000,000 worth of the leaves were ex- ported annually. The total value of the 1928 exports was less than $15,000,000, and with Soviet Russia lost as a market the 1929 figures will be much lower. There are other causes for this sharp drop besides the break with Russia. The keen competition in recent years of foreign teas, such as the Japanese, the Ceylon and the Dutch. is probably the most important reason. Conservatism on the part of China's merchants and planters is another. The fact that the government has been un- | able to give the tea merchants much support is still another. Chinese tea merchants have petitioned the Nationalist government for aid. “With Russia lost, the last hope for the recovery of our tea trade is gone,” | the petition states. “British merchants | know that we cannot ship directly to| Zurope and America. They refuse to offer more than $12 per picul for tea which costs us $30. As a result, the| death sentence has been passed on Chi- nese tea, and countless merchants have lost heavily financially, while many| Lave committed suicide. Prince Made Consul denen]. ROME (®) —Prince Spada Potenzi- ana, who while governor of Rome vis- ited the United States in 1928, has been made a consul general of the Fascist Militia. one of the highest ranks in the volunteer branch of the Black Shirts. Only One American Can Claim Kinship With Royal Family; Daughter of Late Arthur Post of New York Re- lated by Marriage. LONDON (#).—There is one Ameri- can, and one only, according to a leading authority on genealogy who can claim relationship with the royal family of Great Britain. At that the relation- ship is by marriage only and is remote. She is the wife of the Hon. Montague Charles Eliot and daughter of the late Arthur Post of New York. The links in the chain tha: connect her husband with the royal family is as follows: The Hon. Montague Charles Eliot is the heir and brother of the seventh Earl of St. Germans, who succeeded his cousin, the sixth earl. The sixth Earl of St. Germans mar- ried Lady Blanche Somerset, a daughter of the ninth Duke of Beaufort. Lady Blanche's brother. the present duke, in 1923, married Lady Mary Combridge, daughter of the first Marquess of Cam- 3 The first Marquess of Cambridge was lxx:‘mther of “Quten Mary who, llke' George, a .great-grandchild of King George IIL | revue * i be a sort of rehearsal for the annual | | rected prior to the test before the board Tina Meller has come to New York, hoping to match the Broadway (rlumph‘ of her sister Raquel, the Spanish songstress.
