To confirm this, students of. in- ternational politics point to the an- nouncement tnat Portugal may be considered to have stepped definitely into line with the other nations of the old world which are governed by the iron rule of the individual ° such as Mussolini. General Carmona, for years the energetic, military-minded president of Portugal, entered. the ranks of the dictators when, through the ag- ency of his President of Council De Olivera, he announced that a party of national union would be formu- lated to guard against the revolu- tionary plots which have so fre- quently shaken Portugal. In other jideas largely resembling words, this will be a dictatorship supported by a political group with those of neighboring Spain, where one-man rule has existed for nearly a decade already. Portugal has had 18 revolutions in as Many years and General Car- mona, according to advices received in the~chancellories here, is deter- mined to try and extend the period of comparative calm which the coun- try has enjoyed under his rule, and to do that it is necessary, in his Wiew, to tighten the grip on the whole national political organization. Eiver since two or three years ago, Carmona quelled the sudden revolt at Oporto, his prestige has increased among nationalists in his country Saturday Special One rack full of. 9.95 Silk Dresses ALL SIZES SATURDAY SPECIAL $4.95 GREENBERG'S Formerly Straus' Ladies' ear 191 Downie Street FRANCE CERTAIN TO BUY FOREIGN WHEAT Shortage of Home Crop Makes Change In Policy Ne- cessary PARIS, Sept. 12.--Officials of the ministry of agriculture have sug- gested that the government may be obliged to increase the legal maxi- mum of the foreign wheats mixed with French wheat in making flour. The suggestion was made coinci- dent with publication in the offi- cial journal of the government's project for creation of wheat stocks. The wet summer. decreased the French crop, and also damaged the grain, it was pointed out, and offi- cials said it might be necessary to increase the foreign wheat propor- tion from the present 10 per cent. to 15 or 20 per cent. It was con- sidered probable that Ar gentina and the United States would furnish the necessary additional wheat, of which about 600,000 tons may be required. Official figures on the French crop were not complete, but the ministry of agriculture was nego- tiating with agricultural syndicates pr eparatory to starting the stocking soon. It was not known where the wheat would be held, but probably in the Paris region. The total am- ount to be purchased at from 170 to 178 francs ._per quintal was estimat- ed at from 500,000 to 1,000,000 quin- taux. Two immediate effects of the move will be that farmers will be assured of a profitable stabilized price, and that France sabe event- ually possess an enormous stock to be renewed annually and tide over lean years. and the present move was foreseen by international observers. New Strong Man When General Primo De Rivera, the strong man of Spain, died in Paris about six months ago while on vacation, certain circles believed his passing would mark the | first breach in the bulwarks of one-man rule in Europe. But then General Berenguer came to imitate the dead statesman and has remained firmly at the helm, desvite predictions on all 'sides that he would not last long. In Poland, Pilsudski, the nation's "man of iron," has come back again to power after a brief eclipse, and it is claimed that he is stronger than ever, with a long future as Napoleonic ruler of the land.

There have been an abundance of visitors, but in the bulk they have had very much less _money to spend. The short-term - holiday, which is the product of the 'small-family man possessing a mo- torear, has played mischief with the Jetting of apartments. Folks who used to settle down in one place for _a fortnight show a disposition now- adays to move from one resort to another. Resorts on the Clyde appear to have benefited by a "Come to Scot- land" publicity campaign, which has induced an unusually large number ~ of English holidaymakers.
