POLISH ALLIANCE
Russian Statesman Believes
Proposed Security Pact Aims
to Isolate Russia.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
WARSAW, September 29.-Russia' s
isolation is one of the motives of the
proposed security pact between the
allies and Germany, in the opinion of
George Tchitcherin the Soviet foreign
minister, who is spending a few days
in Warsaw prior to proceeding to Ber-
lin. In statement to the Associated
Press correspondent he said:
We see quite clearly that the Sc
curity pact is the fruit or policy the
aim of which is to detach Germany
from us, and we are to treat the pact
as an endeavor to isolate us.
Conference i'm Warsaw.
Il am going TO spend two months
abroad for medical treatment: l expect
the treatment to take all my atten-
ton. but i took the opportunity in
passing through Warsaw to talk over
several questions concerning our rela-
tions with Poland
Il do not suppose it will be possible
to reach any definite agreement dur
ing my short stay, and shall content
myself with laying down the main
other things, for applying the clauses
of the Riga treaty and for CONNER
cial treaty which we desire to con-
clude with Poland"
Status of Germany.
NJ. Tchitcherin said that his visit to
Poland was not directed against Ger
many He did not believe that Ger
many would protest against the estab-
lishment of good relations between Po-
land and the Soviet, for it was not the
desire of Germany to force Russia to
be on bad terms with her neighbors.
However. if Germany Joined the
League of Nations without reserva-
tions. she would by so doing accept
the possibility of becoming a member
of an anti.Soviet coalition.
NJ Tchitcherin considered all the
agreements concluded, or to be con
cluded between Poland and the Soviet
of great importance and likely to have
great influence on world politics.

helper, regardless of his other expert
ence. Since the anthracite mines are
nearly all unionized. thsi law tends
to give the United Mine Workers of

the State of Pennsylvania that they

steps that will insure resumption of

BY Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News
ROME, October differentiation
of the Italian political and social
structure has been virtually com
pleted by the grand council of the
Fascist party, whose session has just
ended.
Although some of the measures de-
now is certain that they will be chief
characteristics of the new Italian com
monWealth.
l. The monopOlS in wage neSotia-
tions for unions and employers asso-
Citations is recognized as belonging to
the government, with compulsory
awards by governmental wage tri-
bunalS. Some strikes will be punish
able as crimes.
,. The Senate will be elected par
TALLY - and eventually entirely - by
the recognized trade unions, employ
ers' associations and professional and
other societies. Present Senators,
however, will continue to hold office
for life.
Town Governments to End.
8. Complete suppression of local
self government for municipal town
ships under 5000 inhabitants will be
effected. while the national govern
terms of five years and with full pow
ers, responsible only to it. Larger
cities may receive the same system
at the discretion of the government.
In any event, their town councils will
be elected in part by the trade unions.
4. All cooperative societies. which
are tremendously important in Italy.
will be consolidated under govern
ment control.
5. The Chamber of Deputies will
be deprived of its authority to initiate
legislation and its power to provoke Il
cabinet crisis will be limited or abol-
ished. 1t will become a consultative,
rather than a legislative body. A
special legislative council will be ap-
pointed TO study and draft legislation
6. The Judiciary and Legislative
branches of the government will he
completely subordinated to the exeCu-
tive. According to statements of
Premier Mussolini and other Fascist
leaders, only persons SympathizinE
with the aims of the party will receive
government employment.
:. All societies actively opposing
or disturbing the work of the govern
ment will be dissolved or placed under
government supervision and control.
Italians abroad agitating against the
government will suffer cancellation of
their citizenship and contiscation of
their property.
These reforms buttressed by the
Fascist black shirt militia virtually
place the entire government admins
tration of Italy in the hands of Fas-
tiSti group, responsible to MuSSolinl.
The Fascist assert this is necessary
to the welfare of the nation under
modern conditions.
