The move drew Italian sympathy amid a hopeful diplomatic mood. 15,000 fascist supporters gathered at Venice, cheering Mussolini and denouncing Britain and Japan. Carabiniers were deployed to maintain order as crowds pressed Mussolini’s balcony. The peace effort followed talks in Paris between Laval, Cl erk, and ambassadors Brummond and De Chambrun, with Italy signaling willingness to resume negotiations at the League of Nations.

Relief Up To Commissioners Says Davey
Columbus July 26 Gov Davey said the General Assembly provided machinery for local sub divisions to meet relief problems. He would not call a new session, despite county petitions for a crisis. Relief bonds under the Carey bill were deemed unworkable by county officials, and local voters would face tight odds on any bond issue. The governor cited an opinion from Carlton Dargusch contradicting that view, noting the state would retire bonds via a tax, while counties adopt necessity resolutions and seek Tax Commission approval. He warned no crisis exists and urged counties to act within 15 days using existing machinery. The highway fund cannot cover immediate needs and diverting funds would jeopardize federal aid. The highway department remains the employer of many needy citizens.
