MUSS0L|N| SHES
At BORAH'S PLAN
Tells italian Senate in Rati-
fication of Pacts 1t Is
"ExceSSive."
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ROME, February Disqualification
Of the Washington conference agree
ments by the Italian senate yester-
day was marked by a speech by Pre-
mier Mussolini, in which he touched
upon several topics OF international
interest.
Mussolini characterized United
States Senator Borah's proposal for
an international conference as too
excessive. The premier said that Mr..
Borah's position did not give him
sufficient prestige to compel the ac-
ceptance "of his collection of more
or less fantastic appeals
The premier added, however, that
if responsible government officials"
above all from those governments i'm
mediateIy interested and participat-
pealed to italy he would not hesi-
tate a moment to respond"
Sees skepticism justified.
The premier said he did not wish
to minimize the Importance Of the
Washington conference and other
treaties which had been submitted
for ratification by the senate, but he
thought the nation was justified In
being skeptical concerning them. The
premier referred to the debt-funding
arrangement between the United
States and Great Britain as a new
factor affecting the general question
Of war debts.
TN fairness" he declared. there
ought to be a general cancellation Of
war debts, but relations OF absolute
morality do not yet exist among peo-
pies"
He expressed pleasure over the An
glo-American debt settlement but
asked whether any one could now
''nourish any illusions" as to the pos
sibility of debt cancellations
Turning to the Ruhr question, Mus
solini denied that Italy was mediat-
ing between Germany and France. He
said he had made it his business to
conduct a searching inquiry into the
whole situation, and had concluded
that the existence of the entente was
doubtful.
ITALY must make some choice as to
her policy with Germany" Mussolini

REFUSES TO TALK
AT RADICAL TRIAL
BaIanoW Shouts "None of

Charge He Aided Ford.

CHICAGO, February 17.-Cross-ex-
animation of Albert Bailin. alias Bal
anow. confessed agent provocateur
and paid informer. had been complet-
ed and Allen o. Myers, chief Of the
w. J. Burns International Detective
Agency's radical bureau. was ordered
today to continue testimony In a dep
osition being recorded here for use
in defending twenty-five alleged
members of the communist party.
Balanow's cross-examination yes
terday ended in a sensation. The
L. Smith, assistant attorney general.
attempted to show that Balanow had
"betrayed" his own people, the Jew
tsh race. But Balanow. at times pro-
testing volubly and then refusing to
answer questions, neither denied nor
affirmed the attorneys implications.
The attorney asked Balanow If he
had gathered material on which
Henry Ford's magazine, The Dear
born Independent, based its anti
Witness" said Mr.. Smith, II ask
you. were you ever employed by
Henry Ford, directly or indirectly, to

Balanow. who had previously tes-
Answer. With Silence.
Then Balanow was asked If it was
not fact, that while collecting Jew
ish material in the employ of C. C.
Daniels, a brother of Josephus Dan
iels, former Secretary of the Navy,
and an operator for New York de-
tective agency. he sold duplicate re-
ports to Norman Hapgood, author Of
articles on "Jewmania," that appeared
recently in Hearst's International
magazine. published by William Ran
dolph Hearst. The witness remained
sill ent.
I'll dare you to answer my Ques-
tions." challenged Mr.. Smith.

now. Consistently he maintained his
attitude Of defiance when asked Ques-
tions designed to show that he had
been employed either by Ford or
Daniels, or had sold reports to Hap
subject was irrelevant and not COW
cred by the subpoena issued in con-
nection with the deposition taking.
Deaf to Other Questions.
BaIanow would not reply to ques-
tions relative to who aided him to
obtain freedom after arrest in New
York in November, 1920, for sending
threatening letters through the mails.
The queries were framed to show that
Balanow began gathering Jewish ma
teriaI for Ford soon after his release
from Jail Balanow said any answer
he would make might incriminate
him, as the New York charge has not
been prosecuted.
Reading from an alleged report, Mr..
Smith tried to show that Balanow had
maliciously caused the arrest of four
cousins, Abe. Ben, Charles and
Amanda Zacharov. as suspects in the
Chicago federal building bomb case
of 1918. The witness denied that he
had framed" the charge and that
the four are his relatives.
A warrant for the arrest of Bala-
now was in the hands of a city de-
tectives today. His arrest was mo-
mentarily expected yesterday on a
charge OF criminal libel which Joseph
Spolansky, a representative Of the
federal Department of Justice, was
expected to prefer against him.
Spolanskfs proposed action was said
to be based on Balanow's charge that
the federal agent while a government
employe accepted money from the
Thiel detective agency.

Are Threatened Daily by

limited Press Sports Editor.

NEW YORK, July 16.-Half way
to the world series, the major league
ball clubs are spread out all over the
course. The Yankees are so far
ahead that only a long string OF
blowouts can keep them from getting
first under the American League wire
by a wide margin.
After starting out like sure
winner, the Giants hit the rough
spots Of the mid-season when the
worlds champions went down with
an attack Of their old trouble-bad
pitching.
HurIers Going Great
AS it stands now, the Yankees may
set up a new American League record
for games won and lost at the end of
the season. The great pitching staff
that Miller Higgins had as his big
asset when the season started has held
up according to expectations and even
a little bit better. Hugglns is sending
his club along at a fast pace and he
is not using all his pitching strength.
In the National League the Giants
have only a lead Of three and one-1alf
games and with an in-and-out pitching
staff, McGraw has no safe margin to
play around with.
Reds Threaten Hard
Pat Moran's Cincinnati Reds look
like the most dangerous rival the
champions have for the pennant. The
Reds are acting a lot ike they did
in 1919, when they stepped out in
July and copied off the pennant.
The Reds played the best ball in
the National League last week, win
ming seven out Of nine games. The
Giants won five out of eight and the
Cubs came around little and grabbed
four out of their six games.
