Debt
MISSION SAILS
FOR AMERICA
Fascist BrGggGrt Gives
Orders to VOIpi

ROME, Oct. 22.-"ltaIy intends to
face her obligations according to the
strctest Justice" declared Count Vol
pi, finance minister, as he left Rome
today with the Italian debt mission
to the United States.
Count Volpi and the Italian mission
sail from Naples at two o'clock this
afternoon, and all were in an opti-
mistic mood as they departed from
Rome.
For reasons of propriety and con-
venience l cannot forecast the discus
sions at Washington" Count Volpi
said.
ITALY adopts an unequivocal atti-
tude-that of a debtor, who, though
having become indebted for a great
common cause, not only does not in.
tend to refuse to own her obligations
but on the contrary intends to face
them according to the strictest just
ice"
Count Volpi's reference to negotia-
lions upon principles already accept
ed by the United States" was under
stood to refer to President Coohdge's
promise that debts should be settled
upon a basis of the capacity of the
debtor to pay.
Capacity to pay and the right of
each debtor nation to settle its debt
to the United States upon an indie
pendent basis-these are the under
lying principles of the Italian debt
policy, Count Volpi, finance minister
said.
Count Volpi will sail tomorrow with
the Italian debt mission for the United
States to negotiate settlement of
Italy's debt.
Italy, like the United States, enter.
ed the world war when the fight was
at its climax and when the outcome
OF the war was most uncertain" said
Count Volpi. This established a SEN
timental bond between the two ma
tions.
In the settlement of debts the fun
damental rule is absolute autonomy
for each. debtor nation and independ-
ent negotiations with each other.
I'VE have studied the general
scheme of the previous settlements
between the United States and Eng
land and France and Belgium. | can
say that the Italian government won't
deviate much from these lines, while
keeping in mind the different position
of each debtor and its capacity for
payment"
Count Volpi has made his final an
pearance yesterday before the cabinet
and the italian debt policy was fully
discussed.
Mussolini Gives Orders
The Italian mission will take with
1t statistics showing Italy's capacity
for payment. 1t is also understood
that Premier Mussolini also insists
that Italy shall not pay more annually
to the United States than she receives
in reparations from Germany. While
1t is realized that this demand may
cause hitch, inasmuch as the United
States debt funding mission has
heretofore insisted upon keeping the
question of debts and reparations
separate, the Italian mission is under
orders to stress its point.

tspeelaI 70 rhe paIIy WOrkerl

SOFIA, Bulgaria, October 22.-The
bestlaI zankov government, Iaokey Of
French imperialism, now has some
thing else to do besides numbering In
it's foul dungeons the flower Of the
working class Of this nation, with one
Of its border towns, Petreh, in the
hands Of one detachment Of Greek
troops and another line advancing on
Poroy, for the purpose Of occupying it.
This move on the part of Greece is
in reprisal for the killing of two Greek
soldiers, an officer and sentinel, in
an attack Monday night on a Greek
frontier post near Demirhissar. An
ultimatum from Greece to Bulgaria
demanded the payment within 49,
hours of 100000 French gold francs
(s4OO.OO0). The demand also include
the punishment of those responsible
for affair and an official apology.
Peace Hope Miracle
The hope of world peace voiced
after the Locarno conference thus
goes a-glimmering. Scarcely had the
echoes of the cheering over the dawn
of peace" died down, that the roar of
the guns already sounding in the dist
ance from the colonial wars of the
French and Spanish, were drowned
with the new outbreak in this part of
world.
The sincerity of the French and
British at Locarno is evidenced by
the fact that two nations, one backed
by Britain the other by France, are,
less than a week after the conclusion
of the Locarno conference, engaged
in border warfare.
League Called Upon
Zankov has already called upon the
league Of nations council to act in the
matter, protesting that the Greeks
fired upon his troops first and that
they returned the fire in self-defense.
Italy may become involved in the
situation as there is widespread I'M
rest in Albania, where the masses are
seething with revolt against the
bloody fist Of Mussolini. Scutari is
hot bed of anti-fascism and Italian
troops may insist upon passage thru
both belligerent nations. This may
cause serious complications in case
italian troops engage in conflicts with
IN the borders Of either nation. Brit
ain is apprehensive and can be relied
upon to come to the aid Of Greece if
necessary.
Such action would involve her with
both Italy and France. Out of this
struggle may start the next Europeon
war, just as an upheaval in the Balk-
ans heralded the last great war.

Especial to The Daily Worker

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 22--
Secretary of War Davis has notified
Col. Mitchell, critic of the war and
navy departments management Of the
air service, to appear on Oct. 2S be-
fore a military courtmartial for "con-
duct prejudicial to good order and
military discipline"
Col. Mitchell had charged the war
department with criminal ineflciency
in the management of the air service
and had hoped that he would be cited
for INSTRUMENTATION.
Fears Exposure.
The war department, fearing that
Mitchell might prove something that
would make some of the affairs in the
war department take on the odor OF
Teapot Dome, has cited him with vio-
lation of the 96th article of war which
is a blanket charge made to cover any
incident such as the "disorderly con
duct charge" used by the police to
arrest any whom the policeman de-
sires to without any real evidence
against the arrested party.
Testimony "lrreievant."
Any effort on the part of Mitchell to
prove his charges will result in the
testimony being called irrelevant
and thus stricken from the record.
Court to Make Example.
The court is composed Of IL general
officers and 1 colonel, whose duty is
to make an example Of Mitchell. The
trial will occhpy bnt little time, as
the charges are drawn, the personnel
Of the court picked and the attitude
of the officers and the war depart

doubtedly be punished by a severe
reprimand by the war secretary and
dismissal from the service.

 Another theory is that the slay- ing is an episode in political gang teud that has claimed several vic- tins In this section of Harlem.
 Police regarded it as a bit sig nificant that Michael Sullivan, Bronx politician and confrere of those who attended last nights affair at the saloon, was slain last sweek, and that Henry J. Hennessy, restaurant keeper and a brother of Hennessy the saloonkeeper. was slain year ago, near the scene of last nights crime.
 All the dead mans pockets yield ed for Identification was bank book. It bore the name of Mrs. Julia Hennessy. wife of the saloon- keeper. She is ltalian-b born, and the appearance of the unidentified dead man indicates that he also was Italian.
 The police received an anonymous letter this afternoon which sent them on a mysterious errand In fast automobile. The letter among other things, said that the murdered man was George Payne, and de- scribed him as "a seafaring man who came in on a ship February 25."
