FASCISTS TIGHTEN INDUSTRIAL UNITY New Reconstruction Program Brings Business More Under Control. By Cable to The Star ROME, Italy. January by a new law into a still greater like- ness to that of a unified and centrally controlled department store, which is the ideal of the corporative state, and | resembling still legs a brawling oriental bazaar, which the Fascists say is the essence of individualistic capitalism in other Western countries. Under a new law Council of Ministers, the government will set up an “institute for industrial reconstruction.” which brings business more than ever under government con- trol. ‘The institute will extend 15 to 20 year loans to industries which promise to reorganize. Since it is impossible for many in- dustries which need credit to obtain it from any other source, the government will be able to shape commerce accord- ing to its own ends. This money will be used to save industries which may not be in good enough condition to get ordinary bank credit, but which the government considers essential to the national welfare and which it will force ! to reorganize. Strict Curb Possible. ‘The government will be able to re- duce the enormous number of unprofi- table small factories which afflict the country by withholding credit from those companies which it wishes to eliminate—and by intimating to the bankg that such companies’ securities are not satisfactory collateral for bank 23.—Italian * Industry today saw itself transformed | adopted by the THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO MRS.

It will tend to put Italian industry in a Pposition to compete as a unit against the disorganized individual industries ©of other countries. To the extent that the institute lends money to industry it will increase the ties whereby Fascism has bound busi- ness to itself. More and more industry is being so shaped and controlled that in time it will stand or fall with Fas- cism. | Even supposing that 15 years from | now Italy might wish to revert to in- dividualistic capitalism, if the present tendency continues, such a measure would cause so violent a wrench in the structure of the national economy that 4t would almost bring down the whole edifice in ruins. A recent law gave the government the power to prevent the establishment of new industries and extend or withhold loans up to 10 years' duration. The new law enables the government actu- | ally to eliminate present industries | and extend credit from 15 to 20 years. Similar to Chain_ Store. By the consolidation and the strength- ening of Italian industry, which are hoped for from the new law, business here will have the same advantages— and disadvantages—over industries of | other nationalities that the chain store has over the individual shopkeeper in the United States. | The beginnings of the new institute are humble. Its initial capital is only | $5.000.000. But, as in the case of the| Italian Share Institute, if the begin- | nings are successful, its scale operations undoubtedly will be increased.

Weeks, 38-year-old War Department clerk, who was found last night sitting upright in a chair in her apartment at 1812 K street, a bullet wound in her right temple and a .32-caliber revolver clutched in her hand. Beside her was a note telling of her despondency since the death of her | husband several months ago. When Tound, Mrs. Weeks apparently had been dead for some time. Other residents in the apartment house told police they heard a shot shortly after noon yes- terday. The tragedy was discovered by Kath- erine Dickerson, colored maid. The Emergency Hospital ambulance was summoned and Dr. Charles Bunch of the hospital staff pronounced Mrs. Weeks dead. ¥ She was said last night to have rel: tives in Clinton, Ill.. who were notified. ‘Mrs. Weeks had been ill for several days, it was learned from Miss Mary Dean, a friend, who lives at 1800 K street. Miss Dean said Mrs. Weeks had taken her meals in her apart- ment for several days. REPEAL BODY OFFICIAL HITS SENATE RESOLUTION Letter Terms Action of Judiciary Committee “Reactionary.and Despised Straddle.” “ By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, January 23.—The prohibition repeal resolution of the Sen- ate Judiciary Committee was termed a actionary and despised straddle” in a letter sent yesterday to all members of the Senate by Raymond Pitcairn, gecretary of the United Repeal Council. “Citizens who composed the over- whelmingly repeal electorate at the No- wember elections,” the letter said, “have watched with amazement and indigna- tion the adoption of a so-called repeal resolution calculated to appease pro- fessional drys and ignore and thwart the repeal mandate of the people. “The demand of the people is fof re- peal to end national prohibition and Temove it entirely from Federal poli- tics. ‘This can be accomplished only by a return of liquor control to the States. But the committee_resolution proposes by the arm of the Federal Government to continue prohibition of the saloon, and by this means to retain Federal mhlbflm. and, with it, as is inevitable, human abuses in all the States. “‘No rogue e're felt the halter draw, | with good opinion of the law.'” Mr. Osborn also inclosed a copy of a letter addressed to Patrick O'Brien, | of credit into industry which is the, attorney general of Michigan, in which | he added: “I have known convicts to commit crime so as to return to the chain gang where life for them has been more comfortable than so-called freedom.” In his letter to the attorney gen- eral he also said: “The treatment of desperate crim- inals is perhaps kindlier in Georgia than in Michigan. Georgia compares | with any State in the Union in the treatment of its prisoners. This may not be saying a great deal, but it does | mean that Georgia ought not to be singled out in its penological policy. | ‘The convicts are not overworked. In; the daytime they are in the pleasant open air and are well fed. At night| they are comfortably housed.” | Mr. Osborn said his statement “is | made simply for the purpose of in- | ! forming you of the facts.” { _ Mr. Osborn’s letter was sent from | Poulan, in Worth County. He said he | | had been a part-time resident of Geor- gia for 40 years. .EX-CHIEF OF CAPITAL NAVY YARD SHIFTED Today's Navy orders directed Rear | Admiral Clark C.
