Owing to the/condition of the earth in which the cornerstone had been placed, there was very little left of the contents of the casket, especially the papers, of which there had been quite a number. A large rift in one corner of the casket had allowed dirt, wa- ter and other substances to enter the casket and practically all of the papers had been ruined, Most of them were in the Spanish lan- , Guage. 12 district! , One item of the casket’s, con- tents was in a very good state of preservation, except for the gold plating on the faces of it, and this was in a perfect state of preser~ vation. This was a medallion of the Knights of the Golden Eagle.

Commenting on what the CCC means to the state in dollars and cents Snyder said: “In Florida there have been selected and en- rolled since 1933 some 31,300 young men. These men have sent home to their families, as allot- ments from their owtt pay, the to- t amount of $7,200,000": ‘Each ulee, regardless ‘of whether stationed in ot out of the’ state, remits $25 monftite te dependents at home. C. Codritigton, state welfare issioner, commenting on the 1s value of the CCC to Florida, said “It is very gratifying to the State Welfare Board to be officially as- sured by a representative of the U_ S. Department of Labor that it is carrying out its CCC program so effectively as to secure this splendid opportunity for our young men, and to realize that it has contributed towards bringing such a large sum of Federal money into the state to further stimulate business. The Board feels deeply its responsibility in this connection and is offering the Department of Labor every cooperation”.

The new Anglo-Italian mark the complete and equivocal sell-out of England the Nazis and Fascists, and proof of the “perfidity of bion.” Those two statements indicate the extremes of opinion regarding this immensely important docu- ment, signed the day before East er by Count Ciano, Italian For- eign Minister, and Lord Perth British Ambassador to Rome.

And if the vernment falls. will likely because of this pact. Only time can tell what will come :ofsit—or answer the more immediate question of what the English masses think of co- operation and conciliation with the dictators.

V. KNOTT MAY 6, 1928. TALLAHASSEE, May 6 (FNS). —An average reduction of 175 percent in workmen’s compense- tion rates has been approved by Insurance Commissioner W. V. Knott. This reduction, the first gen- eral slash since the act beeame effective July 1, 1935, calls for 5.9 percent more than was asked by the national council on com- pensation insurance, it was point- ed out by Commissioner Knott, who also is state treasurer. To avoid confusion, Knott ex- plained that all 600 industry clas- sifications in Florida will not re- ceive the maximum reduction as each is based on its individual loss experience and premium volume. Several classifications are expected to show a slight in- adverse loss In his blanket order to the ' council and all companies writing compensation in the state, Knott set out the following reductions in addition to the 11.6 percent filed by the council, Excess reserves totalled 1.4 per- cent; 2.5 percent for change in no dependency section of compensa- tion law by 1937 amendment; one percent because of reduction of expense loading from 41 to 40 percent. Knott requested that the expense reduction be taken from claim expense, reducing that item to seven percent. The rate revision and expense loading change were ordered ef- fective May 1 on outstanding as well as new and renewal busi- ness. PYTHIANS.

It means that France is left alone, bordered by enemics—and that, from necessity, she too may be forced to attempt to make similar pacts with Germany and‘ Italy. It means that the little countries, such as Czechoslovakia (that “‘is. land of democracy in a sea of despotism”) have been abandoned to their fate—which must almost inevitably mean subservience to the will of the Reich, even if they escape being made a geographica) part of Germany, as was Aus- tria. It means, finally, that Rus- sia will stand alone, a gigantic land connecting Europe and Asia, in opposition to Hitler and, to a lesser,extent, Mussolini. If all this comes 16 pass, the stage will be set for an invasion. of Russia by Germany—possibly... accom- panied by an invasion by Japan from the Asjatic side. Thus, it is apparent, even from | this brief review, that the pos- sible consequences of present day British policy, as reflected in this | pact, are limit The pact has undoubtedly delayed, though no one knows how long, the possi bility of a major European r But, think its critics, it has, at the same time, furthered an eventual war which will be all the more horrible and destructive because of the great concessions that belli gerent dictators have wrung from Britain.
