Eden had come o attempt to induce Ii! Duce to relinquish his plans in | Ethiopia in exchange for an unim- portant territorial concession. Overwhelming public support of Italy's African adventure had been considered lacking when the first | communique for East African mobili- | gation was published.

A third is the newspaper campaign which has referred to the alleged horrible condi- | tions of slavery and debafement in | Ethiopia and of Italy's colonizing mission. A fourth is the general | realization that Italy needs an outlet for her population. EUROPEAN SOLIDARITY URGED.

A total of $4.416.- 600 in estate taxes would be levied against the estate, leaving an in- heritance of $5,583,400. | Upon this would be levied an in- heritance tax of $1.450.000 on the first $5,000,000 while a 60 per cent tax would be applied to the remainder to make a total tax of $1,800.540 in all. This would leave the beneficiary | $3,782.860 out of the original bequest. | | pemienlial e e e R e L —“No Foot Too Hard to Fit” WE%M ARCH eeggiben Fitted by Graduate Shoe Fitters Ar discriminating men who insist qp com- bining style and comfort, so al to 56 styles to suit your clothes.
