dent Roosevelt nominated Paul V.
McNutt today to be Federal Secur
ity Administrator.
McNutt, who now is American
High Commissioner to the Philip

tain his present post for several
weeks in order to clear up de
tails.
The nomination, if confirmed,
will bring into Hie Administration
the Democrat whose candidacy for
the Presidency in 1940 has been
openly advocated by his friends.
Whether President ^Roosevelt is
giving him a boost toward the De

in 1940, or whether the President
is merely providing him a chance
'jo show what he can do, was an
argued point.
The former Governor of Indiana
will head one of three new
agencies created under a plan for
reorganization of the Government.
It will give him control over the
Social Security Board, CCC, Na
tional Youth Administration, Pub
lic Health Service and various

full swing today on order of Pre- 1
niter Mussolini himself.
A communique issued today,
three days after the first expul-!
sions were ordered, stated that j
"political and military" reasons
prompted the move in a fight
against anti-Fascism. The; com
munique disclosed that II Duce
had signed the order as minister
of the interior.
The announcement said the ac
tion was taken in connection with
the Ovra, Italy's black shirt or- j

tivity of some elements from wes
tern nations resident In the pro

hint of the reason for Grandi's
appointment other than a brief
mention in Hie newspapers of his
ability as a jurist.
No amplification of the com
munique on the foreigners' ex
pulsion was given in the press or!
elsewhere except for the state
ment of the authoritative Giornale V

iruni "verification of the presence

ll-at Italy's action "docs not sign
ify lolal expulsion from Italy of

suddenly all their means of living

citizens to other Italian regions j
not so near the frontier."

ARMS FIRST
Geneva, July 11. ? Due to an in
crease in tlie armaments race in
other nations, the United States;
trade balance rose 28 per cent!
during l!Ki8, t'he annual review of1
world trade published by the
League of Nations showed today.
Although American imports (ell
:sn per cent compared with 1937,
United States exports decreased
only 7 per cent. The drop in Amer
ican imports was greater than any
other country except Mexico.
The trade review, which is pre
pared by the League's economic
intelligence service, said that im
provement in the United States
trade balance was due to diversion
of industry jn other countries to
muniMons manufacturing; thus
forcing them to make more pur
chases abroad.

FROM INGLESIDE
If you read this you may won
der if wives of 100 years ago
needed the advice given by The
Watchman of the South. Nothing
was said of the husbands. Maybe
they didn't need advice then as
they do now. At> any r^te a pretty
good authority of the present day
says: "Not all the blame for un
happy family life can be placed on
the wife. Husbands should check
up on their own faults once a
week." Here is The Watchman
of the South's advice to the wives
of a century ago:
"In your temper and spirit) be
calm, gentle, kind, charitable, af
fectionate, cheerful, humble and
respcetful.
"In your speech be sober,
chaste, prudent, not given to com
plaining, sincere. Be no scold.
Avoid all taunting expressions.
"In your habits be industrious,
economical, "A KEEPER AT
HOME," regular, considerate, un
affected.
"In your person be neat and
plain. But not a slattern, nor a
gaudy creature, decked ouO for
show.
"In your religion be modest,
firm, self-denying, devout, hearty,
systematic. Remember that noth
ing can excuse spiritual sloth and
negligence in your soul's affairs."
