Italy's complete victory in Brit-

a tribute to Mussolini’s political
acumen, and emphasizes the Ital-

risks attack only when the enemy
is neumricaly inferior. The mili-
taiy Clements involved are insig-
nificant, The Italians already in
Eritrea could have commanded
the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden

A public hearing for the Rusk
County budget will be held on
Monday, Sept. 9, at 1:30 p. m.,
County Judge Reg. L. Jones an-
nounced here today.
The hearing, County Judge
Jones said, will be open to the
public and everyone wishing to
protest or comment on any item
in the proposed budget may do
so at that session.
In spile of repeated admonition .
from the tax division of the East
Texas Chamber of Commerce
which has made surveys of all of
the county’s expenditures, very
little interest has been shown in
the budget for the new year.
Usually the recommendations
of the county’ judge, who is bud-
get officer, are accepted by the
court because he receives, advise
and has conference with county
commissioners and the county
auditor's department before ar-
riving at conclusions in each item.
According to the preliminary
budget, filed recently the county
tax rate will receive a 4-cent
slash, making it 82-cents per $100
valuation instead of 86-cents, the
1940 figure. A total of $698,640
in various taxes is anticipated, a
decrease of $55,719.65. An over-
draft of $3,062.46 will be shown.
Of that, charities of all types
will receiye $38,995. Total ad-
ministrative cost will be $80,890.
Road and bridge fund will be

whole of Italian East Africa, in-

1,000 miles of British-controlled

Politically, however, Mussolini
now has a success to his credit
which will he advantageous at
home and will add some needed
Italian prestige to the totalitarian
partnership. Mussolini hence-
forth can talk to Hitler with less
sense of inequality.
There have been recent signs of
dissatisfaction in Germany with
Italy's part in the war. The Ital-
ians have been claiming control of
the Mediterranean and voicing
their intention to march into
Egypt and seize the Suez Canal.
But they have shown no concrete
evidence of superiority over the
British Mediterranean fleet and
have been hesitant about the
Egyptian campaign.
Only a few days ago British
warships heavily bombarded Bar-
din, Italy's coastal port in Libya,
which is the key base for an Egyp-
tian offensive. Italian warships
did not move from their sheltered
home harbors to interfere and
