ROME, July 22. - (AP) - Italy's gold
coverage today was permitted to fall
below the legal limit of 40 per cent
by a royal decree published in the
official Government Gazette.
The Gazette said: "Whereas there
is a necessity and urgency for pro-
curing means of payments abroad of
an exceptional nature," the council
of ministers, on the proposal of
Premier Mussolini, decreed the tem-
porary suspension of the stabilization
law of 1927, fixing the legal coverage
of gold at 40 per cent.
This "necessity and urgency" men-
tioned in the royal decree is com-
monly accepted here to mean the
htalo-Ethiopian situation and the
necessity of purchasiig raw materials
abroad to furnish the East African
army with war materials and equip-
ment.
Some months ago the gold cover-
age hovered around 41 and 42 per
cent. Within the last few weeks
statements of the Bank of Italy have
indicated a sharp decline in gold but
at the same time an increase in for-
eign credits.
Banking circles said, however, that
these foreign credits are in many
cases foreign securities listed at their
fhce value instead of. their present
market value, so in fact the coverage
with.reference to the currency was
perhaps less than 40 per cent. Italy
now has nearly 5%2 billion liras in
gold.
Guard Tokio Embassy
ROME, July 22-(A) -Fascist
troops and police tonight were as-
signed to guard against political dem-
onstrations which, it was feared,
would rise. from the violent anti-
Japanese campaign in the newspapers
over the reported Nipponese opposi-
tion to the Italo-Ethiopian conflict.
The Japanese embassy was placed
under heavy guard as the front
pages of the newspapers making the
sharp accusations were posted on
walls throughout the city.
Ambassador Sugimura of Japan is
scheduled to call on Fulvio Suvich,
under-secretary for foreign affairs,
tomorrow. The Japanese envoy said
he had not transmitted certain por-
tions of the press comments to his
government and will not do so for
several days until, the situation be-
comes calmer. He said the newspapers
were apt to be overly excitable and be-
cause the comment in all of them
was similar they were undoubtedly
acting upon orders from above.
The newspapers vie with one
another in extremity of phrase. Jap-
an was accused of trying to make
herself a champion of the black races.
She was further accused of hypocrisy
by trying to hide her concerns for
her commercial interests in Ethiopia
under a cloak of high-sounding prin-
ciples.

Nazis Prepare For
Mop-Up Of Enemies
BERLIN, July 22.-(A') -The heavy
hand of Nazi law today was poised
above the heads of Jews, Catholics,
Protestants and other asserted oppo-
nents of Naziism as officials of the
third Reich avowedly prepared them-
selves for a sweeping campaign
against reactionaries.
The edict issued today by Wilhelm
Fricht, minister of the interior, or-
dered Roman Catholics and Lutheran
confessional youth organizations to
cease all mass appearances in public
and to discard their uniforms and
emblems.
The Catholic clergy, which general-
ly obeyed the government decree yes-
terday against pulpit comment on the
Nazi drive against the Pope's political
"Catholicism,"' was in a tense state
throughout the country.

Action By America
By WILLIAM R. REED
Action by the United States with
regard to the European situation1
created by the announcement March
16 that Germany had restored mili-;
tary conscription and enlarged its
army in apparent violation of pro-
visions of the Treaty of VersaillesI
should be tempered by consideration
of the events and situations since thej
conclusion of the World War in 1918,
according to George A. Finch, secre-
tary of the Summer Session on Teach-I
ing of International Law.-
Such considerations, according toi
Mr. Finch, will show sufficient basisI
for the claims of Germany as to thet
legal justification of its acts as to
make a satisfactory conclusion of the,
matter possible only by submission
of the matter as a judicial questionk
to an international tribunal. Alter-t
natively, Mr. Finch suggested a com-t
plete revision of the situation by re-
vised understandings between thei
powers involved.
Two Courses Suggested
Mr. Finch,. who is also secretary of
the American Society of Internationalr
Law and Assistant Secretary of the
Carnegie Endowment for Internation-
al Peace, spoke last night on the
subject of "The United States and the
Development of the European Situa-
tion," confining himself to the events
leading to and hmmediately folowing,
the Reich proclamation of last
March. The address was the fourth
of five lectures to be delivered by the
faculty of the Summer Session on
Teaching International Law.
Immediately following the German1
proclamation, announced by Chan-
cellor Hitler, two courses were sug-
gested for the United States, Mr.
Finch said: to revise neutrality laws
and policies through legislation in
order to keep this country out of
another war, or that the United States
should not withdraw from European
affairs, but should join the League
of Nations.
Proposals Made Hastily
Such proposals were hastily made,
Mr. Finch suggested, because of the
significant conclusions which may
be reached by a study of the back-
ground of the German proclamation.
That proclamation put into effect
universal military service and in-
creased the army to 500,000 men,
contravening Versailles provisions
limiting the army to 100,000 and
abolishing conscription.
Denunciation of the German action
is based upon the fundamental con-
ception in international law regarding
the inviolability of treaty commit-
ments.
Germany was limited by the Treaty
in accordance with the Fourth Point
of President Wilson's 14 Points upon
which the Armistice was signed, which
provided national armaments "to be
reduced to the lowest point consistent
with domestic safety."
No corresponding limitations were
imposed upon the Allied signatories
to the treaty, however, Mr. Finch
pointed out. Their commitments were
confined to Article 8 of the Covenant
of the League of Nations and provided
reduction "to the lowest point con
sistent with national safety."
Germany's Rights
It was the difference between the
provisions as to "domestic" safety
which bound Germany and the "na-
tional safety which was to limit the
Allies, which precipitated considera-
tion of German rights under the
Treaty. Such consideration, Mr.
Finch concluded, must show that the
rights of Germany under the Treaty
were as those under which the Armis-
tice was signed, and the Armistice
was signed under conditional, rather
than absolute or unconditional sur-
render of Germany. That fact ex-
tends further rights to Germany, Mr.
Finch added.

Rubber Monopoly
WASHINGTON, July 22. - (Y') -
An international rubber combine
which has clamped down on the ex-
ports from 95 per cent of the rubber
producing countries was blamed by
Commerce Department officials to-

commodity.
Since March, they said, the price
has risen 1.1 cents per pound.

Windt Acclaims 'Othello' Cast
As Nearest To Ensemble Ideal
Iuntington Library Described
As Factor InLiterary Field
By ELSIE A. PIERCE
The work of the Michigan Reper-
tory Players in the production of
"Othello," which will open tomorrow
night has more nearly than any
other group of local students reached
the ideals of ensemble acting found
in great theater groups, Valentine
B. Windt, director of the Players, said
yesterday.
"The students taking part have
shown by their enthusiastic coopera-
tion that they are inspired by .the
ideals of such great groups as the
players in the Moscow Art Theater
and the Abbey Theater in Ireland,
for they realize that even the small-
est parts are most remunerative," he
said.
Some of the students who have
played bit parts in the previous pro-
ductions of this summer's seasons will
Mr. Windt said, "the part of lIago
has been cut to make the roles of
Othello and Desdemona more out-
standing. However, only two pages
of the script have been cut for our
production, and the role of Iago is a
major one."
Mr. Windt regards "Othello" as one
of the most difficult of the important
Shakespearean tragedies, and it is
only because he feels that the Reper-
tory Players have reached a stage of
development where they can handle
it that he selected "Othello" as one
of the offerings for this summer's sea-
son.
"'Othello' is perhaps the greatest
of the Shakespearean tragedies," Mr.
Windt remarked, "because its charac-
ters have such a universal appeal, and
because its plot construction is nearly

The Henry T. Huntington Library
of San Marino, Calif., which he
characterized as "a library which
promises to be a potent factor in
literary endeavor," was the subject
of discussion yesterday by Dr. Louis
B. Wright, of the research staff of
that institution.
Dr. Wright spoke in Natural Science
Auditorium in the Summer Session
lecture series. He is here at the
University on the summer teaching
staff of 'the English department.
The Huntington Library is the re-
sult of gifts by the late Henry T.
Huntington, famed American collect-
or of art and literary masterpieces.
Chief of the gardens is the cactus
garden, which, according to the
speaker, attracts leading botanists
from all over the country for study.
Both the gardens and the art gal-
lery are open to the general public
but the library proper "is strictly a
scholar's library where any accredited
scholar is welcome."
Most important of the library's
many important collections, Dr.
Wright pointed out, is the English
drama collection which includes 90
per cent of all dramatic works pub-
lished before the Victorian period
(1837-1901).
The research program of the
Huntington Library provides for
