ROME. December 17.-Italian emf
grants abroad should be given some
seats in the Italian Senate and Cham
Der of Deputies, thinks Arnaldo Mus
solNli, brother Of the premier, writing
in the review Auguestea under the
title, italians in the World.
Although he states that Italians no
longer are emigrating in great num-
bers and that the naturalization laws
OF various countries will make it likely
that within the next 20 years none of
those abroad viii retain their original
nationality, he urges that everything
possible be done to keep them in touch
with the mother country, with italian
culture, literature and aspirations
He also throws out the suggestion
Of their representation in the model
Fascist Parliament as the best means
of rendering more intimate the
spiritual community of Italians within
and without the home land, giving
them a sense of their share of respon-
sibility for Italy's future"

H|LLES TURNS BACK
AGAIN TO COOLIDGE
Believes President Should
Accept Nomination if Con-
vention Chooses" Him.
~ the Associated Press.

SYRACUSE, n. Y, December IL
Charles D. Hilles, vice chairman Of the
Republican national committee. be-
lieves that President Coolidge should
allow himself TO be renominated for a
third term.
Mr.. Hilles, speaking at a Repub-
lican dinner here last night, reversed
his former statements by coming out
whole -heartedly in favor of renomina-
ton.
Previously he had accepted the
declara ton Of the President as final,
and had so announced his attitude in
August, after the Presidents original
announcement. and again last week
after the meeting of the Republican
national committee in Washington.
The change in his stand was enthu-
siastically acclaimed by the assembled
Republicans.
Believes Coolidge Sincere.
Mr.. Hilles, admitting in his address
that he believed President Coolidge TO
be sincere in his do not choose 10
run pronouncement OF August z
added:
But suppose that the national con-
vention chooses that he shall run.
What is there is prevent man from
receiving denomination al the age OF
55. which always has beenAnd still Is
the very best age for a man to be
first inaugurated President? What can
deter any man or woman IN the State
OF New York from expressing pref
erence for him? is there any question
that he would Overwhelm any OPP
ponent in the State of New York and
in the Nation2
IL r,aF 1,af
will be renominated. All / say is that
he has temporarily quelled the prac-
tically universal desire of the indie
pendent thought of the country that
he be nominated in spite Of his very
evident desire not 10 be. If he is
not nominated. some one else will be
found who will carry the country by
a large majority"
State Situation Troubled.
Indications that the reversal Of at
titude on the part of Mr.. Hilles was
due to the possibility of a split in the
New York State delegation at the con-
Vention was borne out by a portion of
the addresses given at the dinner by
Chairman George X. Morris of the
Republican State committee.
Another important aid to our sue
cess of 1925" he said, will be the
attitude of the delegation from this
State in the Republican national con-
vention next June. We have no
favorite son and the utmost care
should be taken to select as delegates
only those men and women who will
go TO the convention determined to
cooperate with their fellows in the
selection of a standard bearer who
will uphold the principles and tradi-
tons of re party and insure CON
tinuance of the prosperity we have
enjoyed under the administration of
President Coolidge"
