Italy Championed Move, Can
ada Stopped It-Senate
Predictions Wronq.

Geneva, Switzerland.-(N. e. Az
Contrary to the American senatorial
predictions, the league of nations as
sembly is seeking neither to set up a
superstate nor to throw the mantle
of Article X over boundaries of
states which might be too weak to
protect themselves. The first assem-
bly, sessions here have made that
clear.
Concerning the superstate, Ameri-
cans don't realize the persistent ayi-
tation which has been carried on for
|, year, seeking to lave raw materials
of the whole world pooled for the
| benefit of all countries It's a case OF
the "have- nots" seeking possessions
Of the "haves."
Italy. whose papers call her the
greatest of proletariat countries,
heads this movement Italy is the
only great European power lacking
large raw material resources whose
people, nevertheless, have made her
a great power.
Uneven Distribution"
Last year. at the frs meeting in
Washington of the international labor
conference, established by the league,
an Italian workmen's representative
asked that the league study the mat
ter of raw materials distribution as
the only way to prevent complete
economic subsection of poor countries.
1t was beaten by only three votes.
The international miners confer
ence at Geneva last August unani-
mously resolved that there ought to
be an international office for the dis
tribution of ores, fuel and raw ma
terials, as otherwise profiteering and
speculation resulted from their I'M
even distribution among nations.
The international labor Office de-
cided that 1t couldn't recommend it
to the economic section of the league
of nations.
Nevertheless, the matter was re-
Gently sharply brought before the as
sembly by Tittoni. leader Of the Ital-
ian delegation, who asserted that the
future of peace or war depended upon
the solution of this economic ques-
tion.
If possessors of raw materials
didn't share with their poorer nations
an economic war would follow,
eventually leading to war itself, he
said. Senator LaFountaine, OF the
Belgian delegation, and famous So

cialist, supported Tlttoni.
Italian papers have been making a
sharp editorial campaign. And, while
1t Is not aimed at us, the United
States Is profoundly interested be-
cause II is one of the greatest pos
SCISSORS of raw materials.
Italy is now looking direct at
France and England, which not only
have coal and iron, but recently ar
ranged a division, between them
selves, of the Mesopotamian oil sup
ply. Italy has no coal, iron, ,phos-
phate or oil.
Canada Stops II.
1t remained for M. o. Rowell, Ca
madam delegate. to advance the
American viewpoint. He said fatty
that the league covenant did not
cover the question of raw materials
and that it couldn't be expected that
the United States would join the
league so long as anyone suggested 1t
would interfere with the United
States domestic affairs.
Rowell warned the assembly that
everybody on our side of the Atlantlc,
Canadians and Americans alike, were
tenaciously opposed to ANYTHING sa-
voring of interference with internal
affairs. His speech killed the Tlttom
campaign right there.
There is no chance that the as
sembly will hear any committee re-
port regarding any superstate control
of raw materials in the world. BY
reason of Article X Of the covenant,
there is a slender chance of Lettonia,
Lithuania, Fsthonia and Ukrainia be-
ing admitted, with their ill-defined
borders. unsettled government and
deprecated currencies.
II they were admitted they might
claim protection If invaded by the
bolsheviks. England and France, en-
visaging the future, when recuperated
Russia might decide to reconquer
these lost lands, have no desire TO
embark in war to save the indepeno-
ence of these states. AS 1t is, they
will have to safeguard Finland and
Poland. Hence England and France
will veto the admission of Lettonia,
Lithuania, Esthonia and Ukrainia.

OPPOSES BLOCKING SHIP

Senator Fletcher Takes Issue With

Confirmation.

Senator Fletcher Of Florida. rank

who is opposed to the confirmation of
the recent appointments to the Ship

would be very unfortunate to tie them
up until next March. At present there
are only two members Of the Shipping
Board and there Is tremendous lot
of work to be done. To say that we
should drag along until next March

TO be absurd.

they should be confirmed.

Senator Jones, in announcing his
determination to oppose the confirma-

the most efficient employees and those
whom it was desired to retain. With the
rates of pay as now authorized, little
if anything above pre-war rates despite
the radical increases in living costs, the
situation has resolved itself into state
of affairs where employees enter the

their positions to accept offers OF higher
pay in the commercial world.
