It is noteworthy that neither in the Memorial of the Ministry of Finance nor in the President's minuts is there any condemn. stion of the action of the prové incial official in allowing this lottery to be started, contrary to law, save the mild cenzure which may perhaps be read in the re- commendation that the lottery

should be sanctioned only for a period of three years and that in the meantime the provincial author- ities should be required to device less objectionable means of provid ing the revenue necessary to cover administrative expenditures. It was a surprise to learn that sanc tion on any terms whatever had been given to the project by the President.

Had the Provincial Assembly been in exist. enos public opinion on question as this would have been properly ventilated, the high prov facial offioir le would probably have been saved the rebuke they have received, and an overworked President would not have had, tó stultify himself before the world by revoking an order which he had given a month earlier on sa imperfect appreciation d the significanos of the precedent he was thereby creating.

He and his colleagues considered the olauses of the treaties. They came to the same conclusions as Signor Giolitti and the Marquis di San Gieliano, A Borupulong examina- tion of the latter and spirit of these agreements and the cognis ance they had of the origins and the manifest ends of the conflict' Batisfied them that Italy was under no obligation to take part in the struggle
