Mussolini Launches
War on Poverty in
Eroded Sicily
Huge Estates Being Split
Up to Provide Farms
For 20,000 Peasants
By JOHN T. WHITAKER.
Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
ROME.—Still at peace in a war
ring continent, Italy is using her
high explosives and her caterpillar
tractors to build rather than to de
stroy. The "latifunda.” or system of
great landed estates, is being broken
up in Sicily in an effort to provide
homes and agricultural opportuni
ties for 20,000 families.
Cultivation over a thousand years
has denuded Sicily of forests, cut
deep erosion seams and filled the
seacoasts with malarial marshland.
The volcano of Etna is a fitting
symbol of this once rich island,
where today the owners are im
poverished by their own abuses and
the peasants are enslaved by a cen
tury-old feudal system.
Great Public VJork.
The project is the greatest public
work undertaken by the Fascist re
gime since the draining of the Pon
tine marshes near Rome. Fifty mil
lion dollars is earmarked for the
effort, which has just begun, and as
much again will be needed to carry
the program through when Italy's
strained resources permit.
About 1.250,000 acres, now held in
vast estates, are to be broken up
Corner stones for 2.405 cottages have
already been laid over these prop
erties for families of peasant farm
ers who will dwell as tenants on the
ground they cultivate. More impor
tant still, the island is going to be
made fit to farm.
Heretofore the problem of Sicily
has seemed insoluble. To farm prof
itably it was necessary’ to have
water to dig wells and put in re
taining dams. It was necessary to
build roads, and before roads could
be built it was necessary to wipe out
malaria. It was a vicious circle. The
small farmer could not solve the
problem of water that must be cap
tured and held in a wide-flung sys
tem of small reservoirs. The great
landlord could not solve the prob
lems of roads and malaria and the
low productivity of peasants—pic
turesque paupers clustered together
in villages s^ven and eight miles
away from the fields they tilled.
Sicily an Ancient Granary.
The state hopes by its interven
tion to restore Sicily to the pros
perity it knew in Roman times when
it was an ancient granary. Of the
$50,000,000 being spent immediate
ly. $40,000,000 will reimburse land
owners for their own expenditures
in carrying out the Fascist program.
Mussolini warned them bluntly that
Fascism knows how to deal with an
individual who forgets to co-operate.
The landlord has no choice. The
party leaders have taken charge,
and fheir decisions will be arbi
trary. The landlord failed, and his
feudal system is being smasiied. He
retains title to the land—if he co
operates—and the peasants who
farm it will be his tenants.
This is the wrar Mussolini planned
for Sicily as Hitler invaded Poland,
and it is one of the more amus
ing aspects of Fascism that this
great social reform, comparable only
to the peaceful revolution being ef
fected in Mexico, should be de
scribed in the language of war.
uraiuauzt-a as name.
Just as Mussolini dramatized the
effort to increase wheat produc
tion as the “Battle of the Grain,”
so now the effort in Sicily is being
headlined as “Offensive Against
Latifunda.” “Action” is reported on
various fronts—the housing, the
road building, the irrigation “fronts.’
The arrival of the uniformed bu
reaucracy that started this offen
sive found the people skeptical anc
apathetic. If the war in Sicily is
won, it will do more than provide
Italy with additional foodstuffs. It
will breathe new life and hope into
a peasantry that the centuries have
beaten down, but that not even
poverty and disease can rob of a
generosity that makes the Sicilian
famous as a man who will divide
his last crust of bread with any
stranger in the land.

Veterans' Association
Seeks Overhauling of Laws
The American Veterans’ Associa
tion will ask for a thorough inves
tigation and overhauling of veterans'
legislation at the next session of
Congress, Robert B. Luchars, na
tional commander, announced to
day.
He said his organization will
fight the proposal for a general
widows' and dependents’ pension
plan proposed by other veterans’
organizations. "Each group of re
turning w-arriors has assailed the
Congress. This has resulted in many
gross inequalities. The whole struc
ture is a mass of conflicting and
chaotic laws,” he said in asking
“some sane and rational legislation
enacted which will prevent special
groups of veterans demanding and
receiving special benefits for them
kpIvpr ”
Mr. Luchars charged that if a
general widow’s pension is passed
the next step will be a drive for
pensions for all veterans based on
age alone.
‘‘It is a national disgrace," he
said, ‘‘that this Government pays a
pittance of $37.50 to the widow of a
man killed in battle while some
trainiog camp ‘hero’ who devel
oped a disability 10 or 15 years
after the armistice may receive as
much as $125 a month.”

Balsam Fir
(Abies balsamea)
By LILLIAN COX ATHEY.
By actual count, the balsam fir is
the favorite of all for Christmas
trees in America And no wonder,
it is one of our most beautiful ever
greens.
Those of us who have spent days
and nights in the northwoods among
these lovely ttees never forget their
spicy fragrance. Balsam firs do best
in their native haunts—from Labra
dor to Manitoba and Minnesota
south to Pennsylvania and along the
mountains to Virginia.
In the northeastern part of Penn
sylvania they rarely grow higher
than 35 feet, nor attain a diameter
of more than 18 inches. They love
the swamps of Pike, Monroe and
neighboring counties in this State,
but while they prefer the wet low
lands they da very nicely also on the
highland. The balsam fir is grow
ing more and more popular in Penn
sylvania and is being planted ex
tensively as an ornamental tree.
The bark is thin and broken into
scaly plates with dried balsam in
white blisters. This is the reason it
has been given the name of blister
pine. The wood is soft and weak,
rather coarse and brown, with
streaks of yellow in it. It is not a
durable wood. The leaves are blunt
and dark green, glossy above with
pale linings. They are from one
half to 1>2 inches long, spreading
and two-rank.
The flowers are axillary. The male
ones are yellow, shading to rich pur
ple; the pistillate ones, purple
Where you find these flowers you
will later see the fruit. The cones
are erect, a rich, deep purple; rathei
oblong-cylindrical in outline and
blunt at both ends. Some develop
as long as 4 inches, although slightly
over 2 >i inches is the usual length
The scales are broad, whole and
A A A
closely overlapping. When the fruit
or seed children are mature the
scales drop away, leaving a bare
cone-axil.
The leaves of this'tree are so fra
grant and rich in balsamic odor that
few can resist the temptation to fill
boxes and bags with them to take
home for the filling of pillows. The
delightful scent is known to last for
years and is especially noticeable
during damp weather.
If your Christmas tree is a balsam
!='■ ■ ' ■- -•••
fir and you wish to keep it fragrant
and green a long time, see that it
has plenty of water, if possible. The
leaves have been used by those
knowing their value to bum later
on in the fireplace. Please remem
ber that these leaves are easily ig
nited and use prcautionary measures
so that there is no possibility of a
fire. This goes for all Christmas
trees.
Diary of Old Year
On New Year eve night the Mo
ravians of Winston-Salem, N. C.,
gather to hear their bishop read a
careful and lengthy “diary” of the
past year. The document is called
the memorabilia.
Christmas is variously celebrated
in North Carolina. In addition to
the conventional date, the day is,
in some communities, observed on
January 5, 6 or 7.
B'nai B'rith Women
To Aid Polish Refugees
The 35,000 members of the B’nai
B’rith women’s and junior girls’
auxiliaries are to start a cam
paign to collect blankets to be sent
to Polish war refugees, Maurice
Bisgyerr secretary of B’nai B'rith,
announced today. The campaign
will be a response to the Ameri
can Red Cross appeal for blankets.
Mrs. Herman Hertzberg, president
of the B’nai B’rith Auxiliary in
Washington, is on the committee
which will work out the details of
the campaign.
The blankets, which are expected
to be raised through a series of
showers or other methods, will be
turned over In bulk to the nearest
Red Cross chapter.
