(By Associated Pri'i FOME. Feb. 1. Premier Mussolini's newly organized state militia, which is mainly enlisted from the Fascisti, is built upon the plan of the National Guard organizations in the United States. Service in the Italian militia is voluntary? and is unpaid unless on active service. It3 members follow their r egular professions and occupations and drill in their spare time. They are to be used in case of civil disorder, while in the event of war.
they will be merged into the regular
army.
Already the new organization is filled with former soldiers and lads who participated in the recent historic
Fascisti coup, when Premier Mussolini was called to head the government. Preference, in choosing the personnel of the new force, is given to Fascisti. Moderate Nationalists,
Fiume legionaires and those of "prov
en Italian faith" are given the second
consideration. Units Will Be Scattered.
Units of the new militia will be
placed in every town, just as national
guard units are distributed in the towns and cities of America. W'hile no definite orders have beean issued
regarding me uniform of the new
force, it is expected that' the black
shirt of the Fascisti will be adopted. It has been pointed out that the. black shirt is now traditional, just as was the red shirt in Garibaldi's time. The
men in the new body are said to favor the black shirt in preference to any army uniform, for it was in these shirts they made their celebrated
march on Rome.
The new militia may -te called to garrison duty in the Italian colonies
in Africa. There they would suier
sede the regular army, the units of which would be returned to- Italy for training in war tactics. In a recent communique it was stated the purpose of the new militia was to absorb all military organizations of the various ( political parties. Even the Fascisti themselves, unless enrolled in the new mil'tia, will be
disarmed. The communique declared that "no state can tolerate the existence of political parties, militarily organized."

ENGLISH PEOPLE USE 1 CHECKS TO STABILIZE FINANCES OF COUNTRY LONDON. Feb. 1. The English are beginning to believe their habit of us
ing checks more and more, and cash
less and less, to pay their way through
life has been, one of the factors in the
recent spurt of the pound in its race
to catch up with the dollar. Of
course, it has not reached the point
where people write checks indistrimin-
ately, just as a matter of national
pride, but all the newspapers have
been giving Berious consideration to the thought that the check-writing hab
it, ever becoming more common, ia3 helped improve the financial situation.
The idea appeared in print the other
day when the London Bankers' Clearing House announced that of the sums
now paid into city banks, only seventenths of one percent come in currency andcoin, all the rest being transfers of credit by check. Not many years ago the percentage of each deposits was several times higher than today. It has been pointed out frequently of late that the use of checks instead of cash allows banks usefully to employ perhaps larger sums than otherwise might be possible in piling new stones upon the natiqn's economic structure. Have Check Habit. The English, so their newspapers say, are more given to the check habit than other people, and this despite the fact that each check is taxed twe pence. A check book cannot be had for the asking, as in America; it must be bought and paid for. Even housewMes make general use of checks when they go to market, and as
many of the larger banks have hun
dreds of branches, there is usually a bank within walking distance of the
home. The high fees for postal money
orders make it cheaper to i remit by check for amounts over one pound, and this, too, has encouraged the check habit.
Psychologically, 6 o m e observers
question whether the habit is a good one from the standpoint of thrift, since many people who would think twice before spending a. certain sum out of their pockets do not hesitate to
write a check for tie amount; just as t often seems easier to tell a store clerk to charge a purchase to one's account than it is to shell out the actual coin. But others contend that the increasing bank clearings they amounted to more than 37,000,000,000 pounds sterling in London alone last year show not only economic betterment, but also that the average Englishmen has preserved his own honesty as well as his belief in the honesty of his countrymen.
