Believe Senate
Should Promptly
Ratify Italian Debt

Washington, Feb. 10 = (AP) -
President Coolidge feels that failure
of the senate to ratify the Italian
debt settlement would serve to re-
lieve Italy of any obligation to nego-
tate an agreement.
The president is confident that ia
vorable senate action on the Italian
agreement will be obtained, although
he appears to be somewhat dis
turbed over the opposition which has
developed.
He is convinced that prompt dis
posal of the question would be to the
best interests not only of the Unit
ed states and Italy but of the en-
tire world. Ratification Of the agree
ment which has been approved by
the house and is pending in the SEN
ate, would in the opinion of the pres
ident, benefit the foreign trade of the
United States, enable the Italian
government to map out its fiscal
program and stabilize trade and cur
rency generally.
If the Republican party is willing
TO show liberal attitude toward
Italy, accepting the Judgment Of the
American debt commission as to that
nations capacity to pay, the presi-
dent holds that Democratic opponents
OF the funding agreement should be
willing to give it approval.
1t was pointed out at the White
House today that. until the Musso-
hni government became established
In Italy, no disposition had been
shown to fund the American debt,
The question. as. laid before the
American commission by the Italian
representatives was considered. as
the president sees it, by a bi-parti-
san commission of experts who had
original sources of information on
ltaly's capacity to pay.
1t was also recalled that a 20 year
moratorium was extended to Austria,
although that nation was not allied
with the United States in the World
war, and it is the presidents convic-
ton that congress would be willing
to extend leniency toward Italy,
which was a comrade in arms.
Even if the senate should reject the
agreement, Mr.. Coolidge is confident
that a large vote will be mustered
for ratification, indicating to Italy,
in view of approval given by the
house, by the debt commission and
by the president, that sentiment in
the United States is favorable to the
pact.
In the event the pending arrange
ment fell through as a result of un-
favorable senate action, the presi-
dent believes the Italian government
would conclude 1t had done all in its

gentine wheat was associated with the
downturn of wheat values. Corn fin
ished firm at Z to SC advance, May 70
10 T93, with wheat unsettled to &c
off May 1.67s to I.67s and July 1.4S4
oats to &c up and provisions show
ing &c to zoe advance.
Among the most conspicuous BUYERS
OF corn today were traders who have
been active of late on the selling side
of the market. In this connection a
good deal of notice was taken of COM
ment from leading authority empha-
sizing that prices of corn are about So
cents a bushel lower than was the
case year ago, and have dropped
about II cents bushel from the lat
est high point this season. 1t was
urged that under such circumstances
the discount at which poor qualities
of corn have been selling have been
oNerworked as bearish argument dis
play after such a fall in values. The
fact was also pointed out that al
though stocks of corn in Chicago are
large, the amounts on hand at compet-
tive points are meager.
Advances in the price of corn today
came early and contrasted sharply
with wheat weakness. Later the corn
market eased back, largely as a result
of profit taking. Among the current
reports which received attention was
one indicating that the Argentine corn
crop has deteriorated slightly in the
last month Another report showed
from official figures that the total corn
yield in the United States for 1925 was
100.000,000 bushels in excess of the
preceding year, but 100,000,000 bushels
less than in 1928.
Wheat prices reflected breaks in quo
tations both at Buenos Aires and I.iv-
erpool. together with apparent slow
ness of export demand for wheat from
North America. Plentiful moisture
west and southwest was also a bear
ish influence, offset more or less by
prospective showing of curtailed do
mestic reserves of wheat in first
hands.
Oats were dominated by the action
of corn.
Provisions went higher with hogs.

Mumps Threaten
To Spoil GARDENERS
Chances at WinSlOW

Especial to the Kennebec Journal
Gardiner. Feb. 1s-With two Of the
hardest games Of the schedule facing
the Gardiner high basketball team
the squad is in danger of being Grip
pied by the prevalence of the mumps.
Cook, Hayes, Marson and Seymour,
all first string players, are confined
to their homes with this ailment and
it is anticipated that before another
week Coach Mckinley will have to
build a new team. But the coach
is noted for his foresight, and his
reserve strength is above the ordi-
nary. For the past two yeras he has
been developing some basketball tai
ent among the under class men, and
as a result he has home AL players
to throw into the breach.
For tonight's game with Winslow
high, the lineup will probably be
Rose and Anketell, forwards. Belts,
center, and the Henderson boys or
Barnard making up the rest of the
quintet. With the exception of Chef
Marson this is the smooth working
combination that won over Hallowell
high Wednesday night and despite
their hard luck they are full of fight
and confidence and will make a real
fight to continue their winning streak.
The Cony game comes next week and
a comparison of scores will prove in
teresting as Cony and Winslow
met Friday night.
The girls meet Morse high this af-
ternoon at Gardiner and anticipate a
real battle, as the Morse girls have
been winning consistently and have
one of the fastest girls teams in the
state. Captain Mana Marson is in
top form and has Beryl Brown and
Doris Colby for partners at the for
ward position.
The rest of the team makes up a
smooth combination that is improv-
ing steadily and should give the Bath
girls real fight for victory.
