ITALY NOT TO PAY
MORE THAN DEBTS
Refuses to Give More on War
Account Than She Gets
From Germany.
BY Cable to The Star and the New York
Herald-Tribune.

BY Cable to The Star and the New York
Herald-Tribune.
ROME, February 5-The policy
which Italy's delegates will pursue dur
ing the forthcoming Paris conference of
experts to fix German reparations will
be simply a reiteration in slightly
modified form Of this country's prev1-
ously published doctrine of the insepa-
rability of repafations and war debts, 1t
was disclosed today. This statement OF
Italy's attitude was contained in an
address which Premier MuSSolini made
at the last meeting of his cabinet a
few days ago and which was given to
the press today.
The only modification, and that only
by inference, of the previously an
nounced policy lies in hint that the
Italian delegates will go to the meetings
course. can only be taken to mean that
Italy will maintain an open, that is to
say bargaining, attitude.
Adamant on Debt Balance.
In other words. italy will be ready to
entertain any equitable proposals SO
long as they do not violate the princi-
pie of Italy's willingness to pay in war
debts not one Ira more than she re-
ceives from Germany. On this point
italy. according to Mussolini, is ada
mant. His statement follows:
1.-The problem of reparations con-
tinues to dominate international polit-
ical life. A committee of experts in
trusted with the duty of presenting pro-
posals for a complete and definite set
tlement of the reparations questions has
been constituted. 1t will meet within
a few days in Paris. Its constitution
has been long undertaking. 1t cost
four months of time. 1t is to. be hoped
that its labors will proceed more ex-
peditiously.
"Inalienable Requirements"
"The Fascist government hopes for a
great degree of success for its labors.
Before other creditor governments and
before Germany it intends to continue
to be as it has been in all the preced-
ing phases of this question-sn element
of reality for economic reconstruction
and sterilization of Europe without any
preconceived thesis and open to any
equitable and reasonable possibility.
In turn Italy expects from others
that in the new development of the
new standardization of reparations due
from Germany they will find a solu-
ticn in accordance with Italy's inalien-
able requirements, based upon the
principles of linking debts with repara-
tons, according to the indications re-
peated in the last memorandum of
November IL, wherein Italy set forth
its own viewpoint concerning the DELHI
erations in Geneva. To no other con-
dition will she be able. in 3ustice to
herself and to the clause of European
reconstruction, to give her consent"
