Pittsburgh, Feb. 2 ID --- Rabbi stephen s, Wise of New York sees in Premier MusSolni. q successor to Kaiser Wilhelm and the most menacing and warlike figure in the world.
 In lecture here last night, Rabbi Wise berated the United states for extending credit 10 Italy and ridi- culcd the manner in which the Italian war debt to the United States was settled.
 The world waited too long to check tho kaiser" Dr, Wise de- clared. Will it wait too long to subdue Mussolini? The time to stop the madness that may plunge us into another world war is now.
 Tt seems rather hard for those of us who take the American tradition of liberty seriously to find American money in the form Of loans bolster ing up this Opera Bouffe Napoleon,
 "In Italy today there is neither law nor freedom. Why cavil at Mexico and go arm in arm with Italy. Italy can regain ifs place in inc world only after purging itself of the menace of Mussolini."
 Dr. Wise also touched upon prohi- bition and denounced those who would modify the Nolstead act. He declared that the prohibition law had not been given q fair trial.
