ROME, September 23.—Twenty-five | giant Italian seaplanes of the §-55 type | will circle the globe under the personal command of Gen. Italo Balbo, Italian air minister, next Spring, it is learned yesterday. } Pifty of Italy's air aces are in train- ing for the flight at Orbetello, the air base from which 14 seaplanes of the same type started on the transatlantic fiight to South America last Winter. ‘While plans for the flight are being kept secret, it is understood the planes | I make the trip west to east, fying directly from New York to Rome in a | single hop, to culminate the spectacular | expedition. | ‘Training for the flight is being de- | layed slightly by the Tecent order sus- | pending all air activities in Italy for | a8 two-month period as an economy measure.

Punishment Fits Crime. | Like the legendary ruler in “the Mi- kado"” the government has endeavored to make the punishment fit the crime with great exactitude. Thus, if an in- dividual confesses that he hid property | to the value of 100,000 marks ($23,800) and an income of 30,000 marks ($7,140) from the tax collectors, he will be asked to swallow a large figure, say 100,000 marks ($23.800) of the new loan. A person with 50,000 marks ($11,900) ) = hidden income and 40,000 marks ($9.-| 520) in property must sign for 50000 marks (811,900) of the railway bonds. | Calculations are made with a truly | German love for complexity, but Fi- nance Minister Hermann Dietrich be- | lieves that he has found an instrument for forcing a low interest loan down | unwilling throats. In his opinion, rich | Germans whose conscience have been | troubling them will leap at the oppor- tunity o square themselves with heaven | and earth at the small price of help- | ing the worried treasury. | Certain cynics ‘suspect that the re-| ligious revival is not yet sufficiently | advanced here and that the finance minister, having staked his reputation on the success of this loan, is really | gambling on an uncertain horse.
