ITALIANS SUSPECT
BROAD RED" PLOT
Recent Attack on Duce Laid
to Activities of Interna-
tionaI Group.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME. September 14.-The author
tiles today were more firmly con-
vinced than ever that Gino Lucetti's
attempt on the life of Premier Mus
solini last Saturday was the outcome
of a wide plot backed by Communists
and anarchists, both in Italy and
abroad.
Relatively few actual arrests have
been made. since concrete informa-
ton is lacking, but about $50 per
sons in all have been detained for
questioning.
Lucetti still denies that there was
a conspiracy. asserting that the bomb
ing was prompted by his personal po-
litical faith. but the police say his
story cannot be believed in view of
the many indications that his inten
tions were known and approved by
notorious Reds
Told Plan to Exile.
Reports from France say that
Lucetti told an italian self-eXile there
that he was certain his attempt would
succeed. adding. with a thought to his
own probable fate: "Mussolni and |
are as good as dead now
Among InOSP dtllldllN dlItSNeh
several Milan Communists, search of
whose homes brought important
documents to light. These prisoners
include Umberto Terracini. head of
the NIilanese Communists, and Rosso-
limo Ferra gni.
The police believe Milan Subvers-
ives were deeply implicated in the
attempt. since it is known that Lu-
cetti on a previous short visit to
Italy about four months ago. went
from his native village in Tuscany to
Milan, where he conferred with other
anarchists. The conferences were
broken up by the police and Lucetti
went to Venice.
May Revive Death Penalty.
The death penalty in Italy, abol-
ished some so years ago. is likely to
be revived in consequence of recur-
rent attempts to assassinate the
premier. Certain Fascist deputies
have requested that Parliament be
convoked to discuss a measure calling
for the re-esta blshment of capital
punishment for certain grave crimes.
MuSsolini, however. is not fearful
that his end will come at the hands
of an assassin. It is his belief that
he will die a natural death. His star
of destiny protects him from the as
sassin. he says.
You ask me why I do not protect
what l call my person from the as
sassins." said the premier to Robert
II. Davis of the New York Sun, when
Mr. Davis interviewed him in the
Chigi Palace. There is no need. My
star protects me. as Italy is protected.
| shall die natural death AS I live
now there must be adventure, and |
must he free to come and go among
the people-always my people"

LOCARNO TREATIES
PUT IN OPERATION
Ratifications of Security
Pacts Deposited With
League Secretariat.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, September 1.-THE Lo-
carno treaties of security and arbl-
tration became officially operative to-
day when the ratifications of all the
signatories were deposited with the
secretariat of the League of Nations.
The repres esentatives of the six in
terested ma tions assembled in the
office of Sir Eric Drummond. the
League secretary general. and at
tached their signatures to protocol
affirming the deposit and registration
of the trea ties. Afterward congratu-
lations were exchanged.
Those taking part in the ceremony
were Sir Austen Chamberlain, Great
Britain: Foreign Minister BRAND,
France: Foreign Minister Stresemann.
Germany: Signor Scialoia, Italy; H. De
Rroucliere, Belgium. and NJ. Zaleski,
POLAND
Predicts End of Conflicts.
In statement to the British cor
respondents DR.. Stresemann dwelt in
warm terms on the value OF the
Locarno security agreement and all
that it meant.
"L-ocarno." he said. "is the end of
the policy of opposition and con-
f1icting aims Now that this policy
is ceasing and the powers are CO.
operating. Locarno is merged into the
League of Nations.
The primary task of the leaders in
all countries, he added. was to find
followers for the Locarno policy. and
this was perhaps hardest in Germany.
many opponents to the policy. He
believed, however, that it now had
an overwhelming majority of the
Germans behind it.
DR.. Stresemann expressed great
snprecia ton of Great Britain's for
eisn policy. and made special refer
ence to Sir Austen Cham Der, ain. who.
he said. had played a great role as
foreign secretary.
Cites British Opinion.
Public opinion in Great Britain. he
rema rked, had lately shown tend
ency to visualize Franco-German
coalition. AS TO the recent iron
agreement. he said. this was origi-
nallv intended to include Great Bri-
tain. and it was clearly not directed
against any country, least of all,
Britain"
Referring to the mistruSt and suspi
cion of the LoCarno agreement in the
past, the German statesman said this
had been overcome. not by the legal
clauses of the treaties. but by firm
resolve on the part of the public
leaders in the different countries to
have faith in one another. This
frame of mind had replaced the old
1tate of affairs. and was new spirit
developed under Sir Austen Chamber
ANS guidance.
In conclusion, DR.. Stresemann men
toned the enormous progress toward
interna tional amity. of which evi-
dence had been given in the speech
of the French foreign minister before
the League assembly when Germany
was welcomed into membership. He
expressed the hope and belief that
policy of this sort would continue
with beneficial results to all con
Cerned.
