Sees Three Conclusions.

The ambassadors conference can
reach one of three conclusions" said
Premier Mussolini in discussing with
lie Mathis foreign editor the nego-
tiations for a settlement of the Greco
Italian impasse.
First" he said, "tt may decide that
the culprits We're Albanians and not.
Greeks. That is a pure hypothesis
and very unlikely, since Gen. TeIlini
is generally considered TO have favored
the Albanians. but / mention it so as
to exclude no possibility, however alb
surd. In that case certain parts of
my ultimatum can be modified and
Greece held responsible in a lesser
degree. which the conference can ex-
actly estimate.
THE second conclusion is that
Greeks did commit the murders. If
such is the decision there can he no
doubt but that the conference would
be entirely in agreement with my
demands
The third possible conclusion is
that not only Greeks. but Greek of
ficials were responsible
Would Increase Demands.
In that event the premier said he
supposed his demands would be in
creased and completed by supplement
tary penalties"
THAT is why" he continued. Italy
thinks the whole investigation can
only be made by the great powers,
conscious of their duties and acting
in the full light of day and not in
interminable. inconclusive discussions
Nothing will make me recede from
my position or accept a compromise
at the expense of the nations honor
We will not admit that the offense to
Italy by the crime committed against
our officers can be discussed and
Judged by the assembly at Geneva.

you would do the same in our place..

HARRISBURG, September L.
Miners union leaders went into
session today with delegates of
their organization representing
anthracite workers determined to
recommend a course which may
end the suspension of mining.
John L. Lewis, the unions presi-
dent, however, would give no in

were optimistic as to its possible
results.

HARRISBURG, Pa, September T.
Gov Pinchot's attempt to end the
suspension of anthracite mining
was headed toward a climax today.
Leaders of the mine workers were
scheduled to meet at 3 pm. to decide
whether a full acceptance of his set
tlement terms could be given. For

peace proposals had been guaranteed
and the governor was expected to have

Two days of bargaining between the
committee of mine operators and the
group of union officials. in which Gov.
Pinchot acted both as mediator and
transmitter of views, resulted last
irh In ha \
agreement.
Grant 10 Per Cent Raise.
The operators group agreed, in be-
half of the employers. to grant a 10
per cent increase to all anthracite
workers. to establish the eight-hour
day, TO recognize the union and to
concede the principle of collective bar
gaining, the four things asked by the
governor.
They further agreed to interpreta

berlin IS ADOPT TING
SOVIET BANK PLAN
Stresemann Copies Financial
Policy in Last Effort to
Save Government.
BY HIRAM X. MODERWELL.

By Cable TO Tha star and Chicago Daily News.
Copyright. 1923.
BERLIN. September THE last
constitutional government of Ger
many" is making it's last fight for eX-
istence with a new series of financial
measures which are being drawn up
today. And. singularly enough, and in
striking commentary on the present
state of Europe. this most modern of
governments is sitting at the feet OF
the bolsheviki to learn finance.
The system the Stresemann govern
ment is planning will create a semi
state bank. which will issue it's own
currency, based on foreign currencies
as a reserve. This is similar to the
soviet chervontez. To obtain the nee
essary reserve. Germany proposes the
bolshevik method of ruthless seizure
of private wealth.
Mark for Internal Use.
The new currency, the German dol
lar" will serve as a means of making
foreign purchases and will constitute
the German measure of value. The
mark in future will be used only for
internal exchange.
Beneath this simple plan are three
more of great Importance. which have
been barely limited at in the news
papers. One is a radical decrease OF
governmental expenditures, which
must mean withdrawal of govern
ment support of passive resistance in
the Ruhr and probably an early ces-
sation Of the passive resistance policy
Another is for establishment in some
foreign country of private bank for
German industry.
This scheme. mOoted for some
months. is regarded as the last stand
of the industrialists to separate their
fate from that of the German nation
and establish themselves on a gold
basis.
The third plan is for cessation of
control of foreign trade, long de-
manded by the industrialists. Appar-
emily the second and third measures
are concessions to the industrialists
for their acceptance of the first and
for their subscriptions to the gold
loan.
If this Interpretation is correct, it
would seem that the industrialists
are granting the government only the
money necessary for its bare subsist-
ence, in return for complete freedom
In foreign trade.
