Mystery Still Holds
In Fate MatteOtti
Italian Socialist

Rome, June 1S-(By A. P.)-The
political consequences growing out of
the disappearance of Deputy Mat
teotti. the millionaire socialist" have
been far oversha dowed in public i'm
portance by the investigation into the
alleged crime itself.
large amount of circumstancial
evidence has led both the public and
the officials to assume that Matteotti
has been put out of the way by poll
teal adversaries. Who these politi-
cal enemies are, who actually order
ed the killing of the deputy and who
carried out the execution of the Or
der are questions which are develop
ing the greatest political upheaval
Italy has seen in recent years.
Having already submerged some Of
the highest officials of the Fascist
government, the mystery begins to
threaten the revelation of further
scandals in connection with persons
upon whom the public and the press
persist in pinning strong suspicious
of connection with the disappearance
of Matteotti. Prominent leaders OF
the Fascist. however, are active in
their efforts to stave off any possible
setback to the Fascist party in con =
sequence of the episode. They are
urging Premier Mussolini to lose no
time in demonstrating, by stern
measures, that if few unworthy
persons have worked their way up in
the, councils of the party. this does
not mean that the entire Fascist
movement is tainted.
The Fascist leaders assert that II
members of the party who already
have been punished for alleged con-
nection with the kidnapping of Mat
teotti endeavor to rend party unity,
their efforts will prove a boomerang
to themselves. That an attempt a t
embarrassing revelations was afoot
was believed in political circles to-
day to be indicated by the efforts of
Signor Finzi to have the majority
committee of the chamber of depu-
ties clear his name of all the insin-
uations that have been made against
him since he was forced to resign as
minister of the interior few days
after Matteotti disappeared.

Communists Show
Loss Membership
In Several Countries

Moscow. June 1S.-(By \. PIN
a speech remarkable for its candor,
G. S. Zinovief. chairman of the fifth
congress of the Third International,
today told 800 delegates of that or
ganization that there was no reason
to feel discouraged over the fact that
the Communist International has
tailed to obtain victory in the ma
jority of western countries. or that
social revolution has not been de-
veloped with the rapidity anticipated
in the carly days of the Russian rev.
olution.
While he gave no definite figures
on the membership of the Commu-
mist party in the various countries
of the world. most of the delegates
had before them statistics from their
own countries respecting the status
of the party. It was shown that the
exception OF Russia where the Com
munist party has increased from
go 600 members to 100000, the
strength OF the organization in most
of the foreign countries has decreas-
cd
For instance. it r shown that the
membership of the party in the
United States dropped from 2o,N0
to 5000 while in England it had in
creased from 10000 to 5000, i'll
Franco from 100000 TO 100000 and
in Germany from 100000 to 30. GOO.

Chinese Army
Invasion Resented
by MOngOlian Prince

Picking. MAY 13-(A. r. by maiD-
In spite of the resentment felt by the
Mongolians toward their Russian
masters, it is doubtful whether they
would welcome release at the hands
of the Chinese in the opinion of
Prince Ma. one of the senior Mon
golian mobiles who with nine other
princes has become an exile rather
than submit to Russian rule.
Ma is more than so years OF ace.
He was one of "a princes who ruled
one of the four provinces of Outer
Mongolia before Baron UnSern- Stern
berg and his red" troops took pos
session of the country some five
years ago. At that time the Russian
invaders and their following of young
Mongols gave the Mongol princes
their option of submitting or leaving
their country. Ten out of So chose
exile.
There have been various reports in
circulation to the effect that the Chi
nese military authorities were con-
sidering plans for the recovery of
Mongolia by means of an armed ex
petition Interviewed on the subject
Prince Ma, who in spite of his long
absence appears to have kept in
touch with events and conditions in
his own country, expressed the opin-
ion that such an effort would be i'll
advised. In the first place. he said,
it is doubtful whether such an ex-
petition could be successful, and in
the second place it is an open ques-
ton whether the Mongols themselves
would welcome a Chinese army in
their territory.
At present. the prince continued,
the Living Buddha or Hutuktu, the
head of the Mongol government, is a
prisoner in his temple property in
Urga. He is totally blind. but in
spite of his infirmity he like all the
minor officials throughout the coun-

Reduction in
RediscOunt Rate

Washington. June 1S-The federal
reserve bank at st. Louis was asked
by the federal reserve board late to-
day to reduce its rediscount rate
from 4 II to 4 percent on all classes
of paper of all maturities. The
change becomes effective tomorrow.
The banks at Boston, New York,
Atlanta, Richmond, Cleveland and
Chicago already have been given the
privilege of reducing their rates.
Governor Crissinger said the board S
policy was to allow the banks to de-
termine their own course but that
there had been no indication that the
other five banks would follow the
lead of eastern institutions. The
general upheaval in the previously
uniform rediscount rate, however,
was regarded in some quarters as
presaging reduction by several of the
other institutions.
