mSHEvOTON. Dee. 25 The fate
tbs child labor amendment to the
constitution will be ia tbo hud of
m then three-fonrtbt of tka 8tste
. larishtnres within tae nest
weeks. The legieiaterea of thirty-six
8tatea will awt in Jaaaary with the
' amendment before them for approval
or rejection..
Four. States here slready rejected
. Ib amewd merit Arixom. Georgia
North Carolina ana Msssacnusetts.
Onhr one .has ratified it Arkansas.
Tba amendment innM be killed if
iaa of thirtv-eurht ststes should re
ject it ai approTal by three-fourths
f the Ststes ia necessary.
The fight which hat been carried
n with ineressiug beat on platform
and through the press for and against
the anendmeat aiare it adoption by
congress hat spring will now be
transferred to theae State battle'
areas. Advocate and opponent of
tbe proposal to empower congress "to
- limit regulate ana prohibit the la-
bor of persona ander 18 yea ra of
- age." are preparing for a stiff fight
Whether enough States will act dur-
ing their coming sessions to settle
the question cannot be foretold.
Opponent of tbe amendment hare
snsrshslled a surprising strength in
tbe last few. weeks. Their case hi
been aided by the attitude of Secre-
tary of 1-abor Davi. which has been
reflected in recent comment.
"If thin proposed amendment la to
xnean that tba youth of the land ire
ro be prevented from encasing in any
-gainful occupation until they have
pawed their eighteenth birthday it
effect will be more harmful than bene-
ficial to those under its protection"
Davis said in his annual report.
Borah Urges 14 Limit.
Davis of course ia fr prohibiting
child labor but he believes the ag;e
. Unit baa been fixed too high. This
opinion was reflected in congress
Vwben the amendment was before it.
' Senator Borah of Idaho former chair-
nan of the committee on education
a ad labor urged that the age be fiied
' - . L... k . - .I . . I. A
merit. Others argued that tbe limit
should have been lower.
In rf t V AnMiaitiitB rkink haa
-arisen because of the 18 year limit
Kenator Borah sur retted recentlv that
k might be wise for congress to paaa
another revolution fixing a lower age
' limit and that this changed amendment
could be submitted to the States be-
fore action baa been taken by many of
them on tbe other.
In answer to those who say tbe age
limit is too high advocate of tbe
amendment state it has been misinter-
preted. This amendment they con
tend prescribes no particular kind of
law. except to fix sa age limit beyond
which congress may not legislate. It
leaves the framing of a law entirely
ha the hands of congress. The amend-
ment they point out. contains no pro-
hibition whatever and does not con-
template a federal law with a) general
prohibittioo np to 18 years.
To those who have brought np tbe
question of boys and girls on tbe farm
advocates answer that farm and do-
mestic service were not exempted in
the amendment because it is the func-
tion of congress to fix such exemp
tions worn it enacts a law to carry
out the amendment
While some who want child labor
prohibited by federal action have op-
posed thia high limit and others bare
opposed tbe amendment on the ground
that it ia s federal invasion of State
rights the major forces of opposition
are those who would be affected led
by the National Association of Manu-
facturers and manufacturing intereats
generally. Leading the fight for it
adoption are tbe National Child La-
bor committee the American Federa-
tion of Labor and scores of women's
organisations. Having failed in two
attempts to prohibit child labor by
federal lawe both ats of congress
for this purpose hsving been declared
unconstitutional these forces are vig-
orously campaigning to have the
amendment passed by congress rati-
fied by the States.

MOSCOW. Dec. 25. Coincident
with the advent of Christmas Greg-
ory S. Zinovieff chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee of the third Inter-
nationale Wednesday made a 'signifi-
cant pronouncement concerning the
communistic campaign against reli-
gion. He admitted the communiata
bad gone too far in their propaganda
against existing religious rituals and
their efforts to establish atheism.
"In a peasant country like ours"
be said "where the majority of tba
population is illiterate and where the
peasantry pays so highly for articles
of necessity we can not allow our
selves such a luxury aa a vigorous
and inflexible religions campaign. We
shall pursue our attacks on Almighty
God in due time and in an appropriate
manner.
"We are confident we shall subdue
Him in His empyrean. We sbsll fight
Him wherever He hides Himself but
we must go about such a question aa
anti-religious propaganda mors care
fully in tbe future.
"I have been informed by old
workmen that not only the young
communists but boy scouts are mock-
ing people who are religious. I have
also been told that groups of boy
scouts have even imprisoned whole
congregations in church while they
were worshiping. This is a mistake.
Our campaign against God sod re
ligion must be carried Out only in a
pedagogic way not by violence nor
force."

RULES IN ITALY
Freedom Given Army Of

By THOMAS B. MORGAN
United Press Staff CorresaesdaaL
ROME. Dec. 25. Italian officers
could only marry in time gone by
girls who had money and then only by
the king's consent Now tbey can
marry any girl they please.
It waa a tradition in tbe Italian
army that the wife brought the in
come into the family for the pay of
an officer is but nominaL The ays-
tern wss not productive of the hap-
piest of relations between all tbe of
ficers and their wires so the Italian
parliament baa passed a law giving
the officer tbe right to choose any
wife he wishes to long aa there ie
noising in iae uaaancuon iu reueci
noon the service
Tbe insistence of the wue having
money dates from tbe middle ages
when soldiery wss a nobleman's pro
fession. The army then belonged to
tbe sovereign and all the acta of hia
officers were subject to bis approvaL
Now the army has become more dem
ocratic m its organisation as it af
fects the aspirants for tbe profession
of soldiery. Officers are now recruited
from everr walk of life.
The king a consent was theoretically
demanded until very recently. While
the king could not personally paaa
upon the merits of each marriage tbe
authority waa passed on down the line
to army and corps commanders. It
then went oa down still farther until
comasnders of companies and police
commissioners eieraaed the right of
approval or rejection of a permit to
marry.
Boysl assent then became a trav
esty but according to the last par
liameatary act-a certificate from the
ministry of war is now all that ia
necessary. Thia certificate (host be
presented to the legal marriage an
thorfty before an officer eana?e the!
ceremony performed.
Even now. though tba restrictions
ea choosing Inly girls with money
has been abandoned the Italian of-1
fieer thinks well of the economic side
of hit marriage before choosing
partner. American heiresses solve tbe
problem admirably if sn American girl
ran be found who fits into tbe Italian
Uy life. Here the husband is su
preme ruler of the family. Many
American girls hive made successful
marriages with Italian officers and
noblemen bat there are cases where
tbe (iris find their liberty somewhat
limited sad their spirit coqtrolled.

ratic progress of European civilisa-
tion back to normalcy s - -'
flreater constructive achievement
rewarded world statesmen in 1024
than ia any year sines tns outbreak
of tbe war. '
Memories of wars bitterness faded
sufficiently from tha mtndt of con-
tinentsl statesmen in 1024 to permit
the United Htatea to lead the way
to a new start at rehabilitation by
means of the Dtwes plan. The con-
ception and application of the Dawes
lan were the outstanding happen
its ot 1024.
There were other tremendous
events Involving political upheavals
and international realignments.
Among these was the readmlsston
of outcast Germany tojhe society of
nations. This was a direct result ot
the Dawes plan.
Another prodigsl nation the Soviet
Union Russia of Lenin and Trotsky
began a comeback toward interna
tional friendship by obtaining recogni-
tion from Italy. Great Britain and
France. While tbe soviet foreign of-
fices were gaining these diplomatic
successes Lenin the founder of the

chief sssbtsnt fell into disfavor with
too aew rulers of Knssia.
IB - France the intensely national
istic government of Raymond Poincare
was eucceeded by that oi ue socuiitt
Edouard Herriot. Across the chan-
nel Ramtay MacDonald the first so-
cialist premier of JEngland. rose to
power snd waa igaominioualy repudi-
ated after less than a year in office
when the conservative landslide ot
November lifted Stanley Baldwin to
me leaoersoip oi a conservative gov-
ernment. The bermainc of tbe end of Benito
Mussolini fascist rule of Italy is a
happening of tbx last two months of
1024. Months ot angry criticism
from hb opponents have forced Mus-
solini to promise a new election un-
der modified electoral lew a and it is
probable that hit ruls will end on the
polling day.
Tbe mrta and virtual deau ot an
ambitious plan for world peace oc-
curred at Geneva and Rome reflec-
tively in 1024. The league protocol
for arbitration security ana disar
mament was auspiciously born at ue-
tiers but failed to survive the un-
favorable environment of Rome
where the league council met- to put
it into effect.
France. Germany and Great Brit
tin celebrated the sixth year tfter
the war by turning on communism
within their borders. In the two
latter countries the expression of
pubtid opinion antagonistic to tbe
doctrine of Moscow came at the polls.
In France tbe rebuke wss adminm
tered by the socialist government
which ordered deportation ot all lor-eign-born
agitators. Italian Spanish
and Russian communists were hus
tled across the borders. In Italy the
reaction against communism came
two years earlier in October 1022
when Mussolini's fascist legions
marched on Borne and seised the gov-
ernment. This onslaught on tbe teachings or
(communism hsd nothing to do with
the soviet union government ss sura

Of a Compromise Are
Unfounded.
(Associated Pre.)
ROME. Dec. 25. Premier Mus-
solini has made a declaration lo the
various fascist deputies regarding re-
ports in circulation on bis recent elec-
tion announcement according to the
Messaggero.
"You who know me." ssid Musso-
lini "realise the absurdity of certain
fairy tales attributed to nie tor which
I am not -responsible it is not my
habit to make compromises with any-
one. I do not need to make a compro-
mise with Signor Salandra. wbo has
not quit tbe majority. Wbo else?
With Giolitti? I have spoken with
him once only when during the dis-
cussion of the present electoral law
he asked whether I supported a quo-
rum of 50 or 25 and I replied 25. I
proposed electoral reform on my own
Initiative. It it not connected with
any aims suggested in more or leas
bad faith by my adversaries. It is
Kart of a plan of reform which I
ive in mind and which I intend to
carry out from time to time 'inde-
pendently of the dreams of my adver-
saries. It wss necessary to announce
uddenly whit has been called Sat-
urday's 'thunderbolt' because of tbe
ecrecy 'maintained previously but
thtt does not mean that It wss not
profoundly considered. I even fore-
cast it tome time ago. It trill be
approved whether tbe Aventine oppo-
sition comes in or sot snd elections
will be carried under me. though It
was impossible to do that immediate-
ly. I shall choose a suitable moment
taking into account the conditions of
tbe-TOtfrt. j-
"I sbsll slse study more closely
the parliamentary majority and ac
quaint myself better with the depK
ties maivMjutiiy. mere are tssdst
who think likrlibersm: there are nn-
disciplined fascisti sad others moved
by personal consideration!. - '
."Elections will be caned" when I
think best tbe idea that this will he
at ones la anfounded. ; Bt sire tbst
Fisc'snso will be victorious fas the
new election! but whether before or
sfter them. I shall continue trtsquflly
to carry oat my pita. If thlt bo exm-
sfdered a thunderbolt there will -be
others from time to time.'' ;v
