B—4 REICH TO BATTLE OVER LEGISLATORS Election Planned to Prove Hitlerite Majority Is Impossible. By Cable to The Star. BERLIN, October 1.—Germany's fourth national electoral campaign in 1932 opened this week when the Na- tional Socialists, or Nazis, smashed up a political meeting at Breslau of their former allies, the Nationalists. The rest of Germany enjoyed the spectacle thoroughly—for what could be more amusing than seeing the two cham- pions of reaction, Adolf Hitler, leader of the Nazis, and Chancellor Franz von Papen, spearhead of Junker revival, at throats? speaking, German history an election like the ap- proaching one. The aim of elections elsewhere is to decide who is to rule the country. Here, it is certain that President Paul von Hindenburg, to- gether with Von Papen and Maj. Gen. Kurt von Schleicher, Reichswehr min- ister, will continue to rule regardless of the election returns. The purpose of elections elsewhere is to elect a legislative body that will enact legislation. The aim of the im- minent German elections, so far as the cabinet is concerned, is to prove that the Reichstag cannot possibly enact any legislation, since it cannot produce @ homogeneous majority. | Nazis Held Majority. In the last Reichstag a conceivable elliance of the Catholics with the Nazis could, if the Reichstag had been al- lowed to live, have produced & ma- Jority of 24 votes. The cabinet hopes that in the new esections enough voters will desert Hitler to destroy any possibility of a workable majority. Therefore, either the deputies of the German people will have to submit to the rule of Von Papen and Von| Schleicher or they can once more be sent home and new elections follow | in_the Spring. | This_practice, it is said, is consti- | tutional.

ROME, October 2.—A decline of small cities and towns in Italy and an in- crease in the number of cities with more than 3,000 population is dis- closed in analyses of the 1931 census just published by the government.

In the 10 years from 1921 to 1931, the number of towns of up to 500 in- habitants fell in number from 936 to only 172. The percentage of their total population in relation to that of the whole kingdom fell from 8 to 2 per cent. ‘Towns between 501 and 1,000 persons declined from 1455 to 666. Citles of between 1,001 and 3,000 dropped from 3,264 to 3,128. Only towns of more than 3,000 per- sons showed increases in number.

NAtional 2477 The truth about Existing conditions is Bigger and Better Values at Lower Prices We are making no exaggeration in In our long experi- ence, we ourselves have never seen better values, nor the opportunity to offer them at lower prices, than pre- vail today—as demonstrated in *“Fur- niture of Merit.” You are familiar, we are sure, with the critical care with which furniture upon which we put the stamp of “Furniture of Merit” must be made. Not long ago everybody was seek- ing merchandise at a fow price, over- looking to a large degree the impor- tant question of quality. To get the price low something had to be sacri- ficed. But with changing conditions, the result is different today. We are able to quote the lower price; but coupled with 'the “bigger and better values.” It is inevitable that the trend of the times with its upward tendency will soon demand a higher price for qual- ity comparable with our standard to- day.
