of a conflict.

"I feel the country is spending much. time on non-essentials and forgetting the most important step in the plans to defend ourselves. We hear much about the lack of danger in the present situation. Such was also the position just prior to our conflicts with Germany and Spain.

I am anxious that we should realise that compacts, always in the name of felendship, ene n threat to our future safety."

"I give notice," continued Senator Lewis, "that when the Naval Bill cotnes up I will take action in this corneellon if we now return the Philippines to themselves. Japan, as the first step in any conflict, would selze the Philippines, and in the next step they would grize the Hawaiian Islands-United Press.

Rome, Mar. 14.

Italy's loud-spoken Dictator, Signor Benito Mussolini, is apparently challenging the colonial powers of the world by claiming to be the sole protector of Moham- medanism and the Arab race.

In a pamphlet just issued on "The Islamic Policy of Italy," it is claimed that the only country living in peace and tranquillity in all the Islamic territory bordering on the Mediterranean, is Libya.

In the Italian Empire, it is declared, is the fullest protection for the Moslem faith. No attempt to convert Moslems to, Christianity is authorised by the Italian Government, it points out.

"In Algeria," says the pamphlet, “are rebellions-and- violence; in Morocco and Tunis there are political agitators."

.'

Referring to the conditions in Palestine, the pamphlet declared that revolt among the Arabs and political ferment were unceasing "despite cruel repres- sion."
