DUCE PLEOCES AID TO U. S. IN WARONDRUGS Mussolini and Congressman Talk Over World Marcotic Evil. Bn Times Biiecial WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.—Closer cooperation between the Government of Italy and the United States in stamping out the narcotic traffic is visualized by Representative Stephen G. Porter of Pittsburgh, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, who just has returned from Europe. While in Rome Porter discussed the world-wide narcotic situation with Premier Mussolini. Duce Indorses BUI “At the Geneva opium conference two years ago the American and Italian delegates stood shoulder to shoulder in their efforts to obtain an international agreement to regulate and control the distribution of narcotics,” Porter said. “I found Premier Mussolini just as much interested as ever and doing all in his power to regulate in Italy the distribution of'narcotic drugs. He as-, sured me of the continued cooperation of his government with the United States and indorsed strongly my bill, now pending in Congress, to establish narcotic farms to cure addicts.” Representative Porter discovered, he said, that European friendship for the United States is greater than ever. People Happy “I saw no signs of anti-American feeling such as was extensively reported two years ago,” he declared. “Among the rank and file of the people the United States, its Government and its people, is held in the highest esteem. Porter found economic conditions in France and Italy greatly improved, he said. “The French people apparently are very content. Crops are good, the franc has been stabalized, and people seem happy,” he said. "This is true also of Italy, where the people are taking as much interest in their government as they take in their personal affairs.” MEXICO DUNGEONS SHUT Ordered Closed as Shame to Nation, by New Police Chief.

No, this isn’t a picture of a dining car waiter, despite the apparel.

those he held when he left for his California trip six weeks ago. Hoover left Washington dreading his first plunge into rough and tumble politics. Reserved to the point of shyness, he shrank from what was for him a novel and strange experience. He comes back surprised not only at the success of his first political exhibition, but at the enjoyment he is getting out of it. And he wants more. He is slowly assuming the psychological viewpoint of the campaigner. Completely satisfied with the political l-esults of his first venture, it is expected that he will make many more sallies. His advisers have urged him to scrap his program for only a few speeches at central points, and carry his fight into every part of the country except, possibly, the South. They insist that this trip has revealed the value of an elaborate campaign along old fashioned lines. Hoover is said •to have reacted

favorably to this advice. Though he will base his battle on Washington headquarters, he is considering at least three important speaking tours. One would be into New England, New York and other seaboard States, a second into the border States, and the third, as part of his return to California to vote, would include northwestern territory. Frankly, Hoover’s original program was predicated on his own doubt of his faculty for political campaigning. His advisers shared this feeling. They doubted his ability to make direct speeches to the public. But his two efforts at speech making, his acceptance and West Branch addresses, have banished these fears. Irons Out Old Feuds So much did he enjoy it that at his request many stops not scheduled were made, with platform speeches at these places. Even more satisfactory have been the results from his first exercise of party leadership in California he ironed

out old feuds, and reunited hostile factions. In the Southwest he convinced conflicting interests that the Boulder Dam question would be solved along engineering rather than political lines. He also stamped out any tendency on the part of minor G. O. P. leaders to make an issue of religion, thereby winning the gratitude of the large Spanish Catholic population. In the corn belt he won over most of the leaders to the point where they seem willing to entrust*- agriculture’s troubles to him. He brought such insurgents as Senators Brookhart and Nye into the fold. He made an excellent impres-
