Paris, Sept. 27.
"I have reflected well, calculated all and weighed everything," declares Signor Mussolini, Italian Dictator, in an interview with the correspondent of Le Petit Journal.
"Two million sons of our soil sought the honour of going out there to serve and, if necessary, to die. Who could bring them back before they have obtained the fruits of their heroism and sacrifice?" he added.
• "If I were asked to choose between peace and life; I should reply; 'Life," he asserted, "and if I were offer- ed both peace and life I should acquiesce."-Reuter.

London, Sept. 27.
A recent speech by Mr. Neville Chamberlain, Chan- cellor of the Exchequer, warning of the necessity of strengthening Britain's defensive forces, has revived. keen discussion in City circles with regard to the best methods of obtaining the necessary finance.
་
Advocates are not lacking of both a loan and taxation. Supporters of the former course maintain that a loan of from £150,000,000 to £250,000,000 would be advantageous in view of its stimulating effect on trade generally.
On the other hand, adherents of a conservative, finance policy argue that loans should only be raised for the creation of social assets, such as housing schemes, and prefer the more onerous but more orthodox method of increasing taxation.
