Paid by the German government, Slosson Tells Of Regimentation Of Italians By Patriotic Mottoes Conservationistss Fio1ht Land Act Knox Bill Bitterly Opposed By State Authorities Conservation authorities through- out the state were rallying their forces yesterday against the bitterly con- tested Knox Land Bill which is ex- pected to reach the floor of the Sen- ate next week. Opposition to the bill has been steadily built up since its passage last week by a large majority in the House. The Knox Bill, known as House Bill 229, proposes to amend the act passed by the 1937 legislature which set up a new land office board which was given jurisdiction over all the tax de- linquent lands in the southern half of the lower peninsula that later went to the state in the last tax sale dur- ing the spring of 1938. von Klenze assures' American news- papermen that he has no bias for or against Nazi Germany. "You must not beco~me pro-German or anti- German." he told a group of students before they sailed, the New York Times reported. Union 1()Sponsor Union POS FinalBridge Meet Entries are now being taken for the all campus bridge tournament to be held Tuesday, April 4, in the main ballroom of the Union, it was an- nounced yesterday by Hadley Smith, '40E, Union committeeman. The tour- nament will be the third, and last of a series during the current school year. A fee of ten cents will be charged for each entrant, Smith said. The team having the highest average score in any two of the three tournaments, he said, will be awarded the all- campus bridge trophy later in the spring. (Editor's Note: This is th'e second in a sries of three articles reporting the b ervations of Prof. Preston Slosson on ccnditions in Europe.) By HERVIE IIAUFLER ,Mussolini's use of patriotic mottoes as a propaganda technique to keep the Italian nation at a high pitch of war fervor is revealed in a letter received here from Prof. Preston Slos- son of the history department, now traveling in Europe. Passages from Mussolini's writings and speeches are stenciled on almost every other building in Northern Italy, Professor Slosson observed. The favorite ones seem to be "Believe, Obey, Fight," "We dotdonot discuss our frontiers; we defend them," and "The more foes the more honor." Mussolini's aspirations for Italy are hammered home, Professor Slos- son believes, by the repetition of such statements as "We shall make Italy the leading nation in the world" and "He who does not die for his faith is unworthy to possess it." A hint of the regimentation im- posed upon Italy is included in Profes- sor Slosson's description of Rome. Mussolini decreed that drivers were not to blow their automobile horns in Rome, and Professor Slosson notes that "after forty hours in Rome I have still to hear the first toot." Another achievement of Mussolini described by Professor Slosson is the development of an appearance of Italian wealth. "Italy has"a magni- ficent 'facade'," he writes. "Italy looks wealthy now; it no longer thrusts poverty and dirt and beggary in the tourist's face as it did a gen- eration ago. Professor Slosson adds, howeverj that "an American who has been herel for years and knows Italy beneath thet surface tells me that the actual con- dition of the peasants is probablyt worse under Fascism, on account of the high taxes, than before. The slums in the cities are tucked away in back alleys where one must seek them out, but they are still slums." The constant refrain of Mussolini's stenciled mottoes, Professor Slosson says, becomes extremely wearisome. "It was such a refreshing contrast in Southern France," he writes, "to come across some monarchist signs crudely scrawled in black paint on walls that I felt now at last I am again in a free country where men can put ut signs that the government does not approve." Ten Foresters To Make Tour Rainsdell, Senstius Lead, Study Of Appalachians Completed plans for the annual spring semi-official tour of upper class forestry students were an- nounced by Prof. W. F. Ramsdell, who will lead the tour this year. The trip is traditionally taken by students who wish to become ac- quainted with activities of forestry and conservation in the Appalachian section of the country. The members of the party, comprising Professor Ramsdell, Prof. M. W. Senstius, of the geology department, and ten stu- dents, will make the trip during spring vacation. Among the points of interest to be visited is the Asheville, N. C., forest, which is the headquarters of the Appalachian Forestd Experiment Sta- tion. An interesting side light on this forest, which was the first to be established in this region, according to Professor Ramsdell, is the fact that the nucleus of the forest proper was the old Vanderbilt estate here, which was well wooded as the result of a private interest in forestry of its own- er. Among the men to be included on the trip are Jack Rothacher, '39F&C, W. B. Allen, '39, R. E. Leeson, '39, Francis Schmidley, '40, George Stae- bler, '39 and James Mitchell.
