Also Advises France to Exer-

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. January 24.-Benito Mus
solini. the Italian premier, today ex-
planned his attitude on the Ruhr
crisis to his cabinet, says a dispatch
to the Central News from Rome.
The premier asserted Italy had
made no offer to intervene in the
situation, but that It had warned the
Berlin government Of the dangers Of
reaction and advised France to ex-
ercise moderation. The Ruhr problem
had not yet reached a deadlock. which
would justify an attempt to step in
and try to arrive at a solution.
Instructions to Engineers.
Mussolini added that he had in
structed the Italian engineers sent to
the Ruhr TO abstain from acts of a
political character.
The cabinet fully supported the
premier's attitude.
According to a dispatch from the
Stefani Agency, Mussolini, after stat
ing that the question might still be
asked whether a deeper appreciation
of the Italian memorandum sub
mitted to the London conference
would avoid the grave complications
that have developed, asserted that the
Italian government would take most
active steps to avert still greater
complications and produce at the
earliest possible time a calmer at
mosphere, permitting renewed dis
cussion of the problems of reparations
and debts.
