Important Role Since
World War

Rome, June 5.-(AP)-Premier
Mussolini made his promised speech
before the senate today on Italy 3
relations with the other powers and
his governments foreign policy.
The early part Of his speech was
devoted to describing the good re-
lations which Italy enjoys with the
nations of Asia, Africa, as well as
the United States and Great Britain.
Speaking of the United States,
Mussolini said that country had
played a very great role since the
war, he might say, q predominant

were characterized recently by
three events Of special Importance

Of the conference of naval arma.
ments and the signature in April of
q treaty Of arbitration and concilia-
tion.
He recalled that italy had de-
clined the invitation of the United
States to participate in the naval
disarmament conference at Geneva.
I'm q note answering the Amer
lean proposal" he explained, II
showed the reasons why Italy could
not join in the conference, which was
held without Italy or France, the
gathering resulting in complete
bankruptcy, particularly because of
the great divergencies between the
United States and England with re-
gard to fixing tonnage and the
number Of cruisers.

CREW IN AIR 80 HOURS

Suva, Fiji, June 5.-R)-A public
holiday was declared here today in
honor Of the transpacific monoplane
Southern Cross and the four men Of
its Australian-American crew, who
arrived here at 6:23 p. m. Pacific
coast time Monday after a flight
overseas of 1928 miles from Hawaii.
: The plane was the first ever seen
in Fiji and it excited the wonder
ment of thousands of natives, and
the admiration Of their more trav-
eled European and American
friends.
Four grinning, temporarily deaf,
airmen climbed from the monoplane
and asked for cigarettes as its pro-
pellers ceased whirling and it came
to rest in Albert Park. The cigar
cites wer forthcoming speedily.
For "a hours and 33 minutes Cap
tain Kingsford-Smith. his co-pilot
Charles Ulm, Navigation Harry w.
Lyon and Radioman James Warner
had heard the roar Of their three
motors and the whistling of stormy
winds. With the motors silent the
men scarcely heard the thunderous
cheers of thousands of white men,
Fijians. East Indians and Polynes-
ians who had come from surround
ing districts to witness the arrival
of the white mana bird from across
the waters.
It was 1:6O p. m. Tuesday by
Fiji clocks and $50 p. m. Monday
by California reckoning when the
Southern Cross passed over Ovalau
straits, separating the two chief
islands Of Fiji. Twenty minutes
later the zoom OF her motors was
heard by the waiting crowds in Al
bert Park, and few minutes later
the great plane was seen coming
over the hills east Of Suva at an
altitude Of 400 feet.
The Southern Cross circled the
park at speed Of 6O-miles an hour,
whirled out to Suva harbor, and
then banking beautifully came down
over the shore line and entered the
park at the southwest corner.
Across the park it rolled, traversing
the diagonal runway prepared for
it, and stopping on the eastern side
of the park.

INDEPENDENTS SCARED
North DakOta's Greatest Vote
Getter Pulls Tactical P0.
litieal Blunder

Valley City, June 5.-Barnes coun-
ty still rings with echoes of the
discussion Of campaign issues here
last week by Thorstein H. Thoresen
and George F. Shafer. candidates for
the Republican nomination for gov
ernor.
1t qualified as the first oppor-
tunity in the campaign to judge the
candidates and to determine their
ability as public speakers. the i'm
preston they are making upon
various audiences and the interest
in the so-called issues of the cam
paign as Mr.. Shafer has defined
them.
1t was a pronounced victory for
Thoresen. Ninety per cent of the
crowd that heard the speakers were
with him. He got the lions share OF
the applause. He made a distinct
impression that is reacting to his
benefit throughout all this section.
Independents left the meeting
scared. They had a distinct feeling
that Thoresen had carried away the
honors of the occasion. They were
sorry Mr.. Shafer exhibited bit Of
impatience in his closing argument
and that the crowd quickly detected
it.
Fast One for Thoresen
There was a feeling too that it
was a blunder tactically to have
Thoresen and Shafer meet on the
same platform and that somebody
had put over a rather fast one for
Thoresen.
They marveled that q crowd COM
ing from several counties should be
SO unanimously in favor of Thore-
sen, who is considered more or less
of an unknown, and that its mani
tested reactions should be so dis
appointing toward Shafer. long
touted as North Dakota's greatest
vote getter.
Meantime throughout the country
side Thoresen has become something
of popular idol. The people liked
the simple sincerity of his speech
and it's deeply patriotic note. They
liked his clean, frank discussion of
the issues as advanced by Mr..
Shafer.
Independent scouts were present
from several sections Of the state.

Kansas City, June 5.-(R-Rid-
ing on the wave of victories in the
first of the delegate contests decid.
ed by the Republican National COM
mittee, Herbert Hoover's hackers
squared away today to put addi.
tlonal punch in their drive for the
presidential nomination in the face
Of a determined opposition that is
passing the word it has just begun
to fight.
The Republican convention. after
q long season of political specula-
tion. will get down to business a
week from today. Before then de-
velopments may put a new light on
the situation which as it stands to-
day has many uncertainties, what is
IN store not even the wisest seers
cared to venture.
Success yesterday in placing eley-
en- southern delegates, whose Gre
dentials had been challenged. def
initely in the Hoover bag bolstered
the optimism of the commerce secre-
tary's political lieutenants, espe-
ally James w. Good, his manager.
who all along has insisted that his
candidate would 60 over on one Of
the early ballots.
On the other hand, both the Low
den and Watson campaign directors,
already on the firing line, were
mapping out plan Of attack with
which they hoped to stop Hoover. In
this they counted on other presi-
dental aspirants in the field against
the cabinet officer.
