First, there is the eminent industrialist, Alberto Pirelli, president of the Association of Italian Joint-Stock Companies, which subjects business to what- ever regimentation it suffers from the dictatorship. Pirelli sits on a number of the most powerful direc- torates in Italy, and his own en- ginering enterprises are financed by our House of Morgan. In a recent article published in a London financial journal, Signor Pirelli discusses “frankly” what he calls the common misconception that the Fascist dictatorship leads to “something similar to state so- cialism.” He claims that the dicta- torship, far from ruining business, he boasts, business went into a tail- spin, but in Italy the state, that is, the public funds, padded the fall. Then there is Count Volpi, pres- ident of the Confederation of Ital- jan Industries, and a director of the world’s greatest utility chain with holdings in Italy as well as in every other capitalist country. Without the dictatorship, says Volpi inthe same journal, Italian pusiness would have gone under during the depression. But the trusts established by the state in every branch of the national econ- omy ‘lowered production costs through compulsory amalgama- tions. Here indeed is regimente- Italian People Starve By ELIOT JANEWAY Federated Press Financial Writer Who owns Italy? Has Mussolini’s dictatorship put busi- tolerated but really trampled upon and exploited by an arro- gant bureaucracy? Or, on the other hand, is the bureaucracy publicity stunt distracting attention from the dictatorship which Italian big business exercises through Mussolini over the Italian people? To keep the record clear, I wills tion, over the ruined “independ- ents,” but regimentation by the large international trusts domin- Or is Italian business simply ated by Volpi and his foreign as- sociates. _, Moreover, he continues, Mussolini also acted promptly “to lighten progressively the burdens laid upon private enterprise by reducing wages in all sections of industry.” Profits Soar Pirelli and Volpi were speaking about the depression. But what of the present? Has Mussolini finally turned against business? Hardiy. There is, for example, the evidence presented by the recent annual re- port of Italy’s largest bank, the Banca Commerciale, another inter- brilliant diplomat, warns delegates the political and economic results huge new areas of China. Dr. Wellington Koo, former Chinese ambassador to Washington and ae, to the nine-power conference of if they permit Japan to absorb WCF Leads Against Dore nationally-minded organization. The Banca’s 1935 profits barely exceeded nine million lire, its 1936 profits topped 18 millions, Mlustrating the freedom and prosperity of big busi- ness in Italy, the Banca’s average loans to customers average 100,000 lire per customer; there is no place for small business under Fascism. Finally, there is the most telling evidence of all, the movement of the stock market, When Mussolini closes that up, he’ll be entitled to- claim that he’s curbed big busi- ness. Take Pirellis company. Pirelli was quoted on the Bourse in 1936 at 1,050 lire per share. A few months ago (after a few of those capital levies they're always haying), the price was 1,403 lire. Or take Volpi's Electrical Trust, which sold at 590 in 1936, and 827 in 1937. Or its affiliate, Italian Edi- son, which rose from 237 to 320. The same is true of the auto trust, the rayon trust and the chemical trust, and the trusts which dominate every other industry in Fascist Italy.

Island CCF Leader Quits Les Strange Withdraws From Nanaimo Club On Question of CCF Policy On Unity NANAIMO, BG, Dec. 2.— George Les Strange, prominent in the ranks of the CCF, announced his resignation from the party last week on points of policy. In a statement to the press, Les Strange maintained that he was several times president of Brechin Club and was active on behalf of GCF candidates in elections.

Atten- ing his conference were 75 dele- gates representing 59 organizations throughout the province.

Ryan, president of the New Work Central Trades ana Labor Council for 15 years, has withdrawn as a candidate for re- election. Ryan’s explanation of why he did not choose to run was that the reasons were “obvious.” He also said that he needed all his time to “save the ILA from John L. Lewis.” Ryan is president of the Inter- national Longshoremen’s Associa- tion, AF of Li affiliate. During the November electior, Ryan supported the defeated Tam- many candidate for Mayor, Jere- miah T. Mahoney, breaking with George Meany, president of the State Federation, and other AF of L, officials who backed Mayor La- Guardia. CIO, AFL Unions Combine To Oust SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 2.— (Special) —Determination of both AFL and CIO forces to defeat deactionary Mayor F. Dore for re-election was expressed this week at a meeting here called by the political welfare committee of the powerful Washington Commonwealth Federation. : Seattle Mayor Dore, working in collusion with Dave Beck, Seattle Teamsters’ Union “cezar,”? has during his pres- ent term ordered pickets dispersed with the promise to send them to “the jail, hospital or morgue,” and his police have acted as Teamsters’ union “organizers” in aiding Team- ster officials in coercing CLO ware- housemen to quit their union and join the Teamsters. Delegates of election precinct workers from all of the 12 legisla- tive districts in the city were among the 250 delegates who picked the hall. G. S. Hill, delegate from the AFL Building Service Employees’ union, declared: “phe issue in the coming city election campaign is not a case of an APL candidate versus 2 (@xE@) candidate, as newspaper stories imply, but a case of both branches of the labor movement uniting | against Dore for the cause of good government.” No candidate to oppose Dore was named. Political Significance Citing the recent New York City elections, in which Republican- Fusion Candidate Fiorello La- Guardia, backed by labor and pro- gressive forces, won over opposing Democrats, Howard G. Costigan, executive secretary of the WCE, said. - “Defeat of the present city ad- ministration is of as much politi- cal significance to the United States at large as the victory of LaGuardia in New York; the defeat of forces that are fomenting labor warfare in Seattle will mean the 2 end of labor’s civil war in the Northwest.” Costigan declared, “No single labor union or group of unions can | win an election, but a coalition of | progressive, chureh, labor and } parents’ groups can.” “Defeating Dore for re-election vitally concerns the future welfare of both the CIO and AFL rank and file, and of progressive people and workers,” Hrnie Fox, Seattle CIO representative, told the gathering. Fie revealed that the Worthwest District Council of the Maritime Federation of the Pacific had adopted a resolution condemning Dore. City Councilman Hugh DeLacy declared the necessity of “building a strong, well-balanced organiza- tion to elect candidates who are pledged to a progressive platform.” Speakers included representatives of the Machinists’, Alaska Fisher- men’s and Pile Drivers’ Union, all AFL groups.
