MUSSOLINI ÄND DISARMAMENT.
(Continued from Page 1.)
In my conception of the state, a nation does not exist alone for the sake of the single individuals of her population, but also for her future generations, to whorn' she is linked by a sacred bond of respon sibility for the continuity of the state. To be able to understand this principle, and to act upon it, the definite requisite of a really far-seeing and far-providing states man. In this resides the essence of
the great complex called the state. as distinguished from the primeval elementary social organizations of the family and the tribe. The ques- tion of armaments therefore is to be considered also with regard to the future needs of a people, who must, also live.

WIDOW' MARRIAGE

·ROWDY KARACHI MEETING.
The controversy over widow re- marriage between the Sanataniste and the pro-widow marriage reform section ended in violence at public meeting in Khalikdina Hall,, Karachi under the presidency of Doctor Chithram Gidwani, a well- known Congressmaa of Hyderabad (Sind).
The Baluchistan Sanatanist Dha- Conference under Pandit
Malaviya's preidency, which con- ra cluded the previous day, had passed a resolution against widow mamiage and condemned those Reformists who advocated the same.

You cannot base armaments in this present world on abstract theories of peace, or on ethereal good-will. There can be no talk af peace until the economic and ter ritorial clashes are removed. With the struggle to supply its own economic needs, and with its aim to fight for greater recognition in the partition of the world, each nation ruas counter to other nations and tries to remove the intruder in what it regards as its own zone. Protection of these interests is the nation's great responsibility if it is to preserve and hold its dominion. I is on there that it bases the

PURSUIT OF A WOMAN AND

Arthur Leathan, aged thirty-two, an catate agent, of Sibella-road, Clapham, was remanded on bail in £10 at Bow-street Police Court on a charge of fraudulently endeavour ing to avoid payment of a cab fare, Mr. Cannot, defending, applied for a remand to enable him to call a witness from Manchester. He said that the charge arose from a mistake on the cabraan's part. Leatham engaged the cabman to follow another cab in which a man and woman were riding. The cab stopped at the Hotel Metropole and Leatham sent the driver to one en- trance while he watched another to prevent the escape of his quarry.

George Bolter, aged forty-seven, pleaded guilty at the Berkshire Assizes at Reading to stealing sixty- three sheep, valued at £234. He was sentenced to three years' penal servitude.
It was stated that Bolter's practice was to go to the downs in the early morning and take a num- ber of sheep, having previously arranged with a man to drive them to the station and send them out to different markets. Bolter would attend those markets and receive the money realised for the sale of the sheep from the auctioneera
