WASHINGTON, June q Up
The progress OF Prime Minister

question in England has brought
that outstanding problem of inter

In an effort to secure the allegiance

Is yearly paying the passage of thou

charged yesterday afternoon at Joint
celebration Of the signing of the Dec
laratlon OF Independence and the birth
OF Giuseppe Garibaldi, Italy's great
patriot and liberator. The exercises
were held in the Temple Baptist
Church
Warning all Americans of Italian

FaScism and Russian Bolshevism,, DR..
Carlo Fama, president Of the National
Society Of Fides. and DR.. Domenico
Scalera. Baptist minister of Meridian,
Conn, urged that they keep undivided
their allegiance to the United States.
"Bolshevism from Russia has extend
ed its tentacles into every State in the
Union" DR.. Fama declared. More
dangerous and by far more bold have
been the forces of Italian Fascism
working subtly and openly, trying to
pervert our American citizens of Italian
extraction, and conducting a tremen-
dous insidious campaign among our
youths of italian extraction.
"Mussolini has issued orders that
100000 Italians in the United States
must become loyal Fascists; not only
themselves, but their children and their
children's children.
THE life Of our Nation he said,
depends upon the unity and loyalty
of its citizens. Both speakers called
attention 10 the coincidence that Carl
BALD was born on the day the Declara-
ton of independence was signed. Each
also was high in his praise of Masonry,
asserting that most of the great lib

LOYALTY TO IDEALS
URGED BY SPEAKER
Maj. Gen. Fries Delivers Ad-
dress Before PetWorth Citi-
zenS' Association.

An appeal to the people of America
to remain true to the ideals expressed
in the Declaration Of Independence and
to lend their support to an adequate
national defense as the best means of
safeguarding those ideals VISA made by
Mai. Gen. Amos A. Freis, u. S. A, re-
tired last night in an address at pro-
gram which wound up the all-day cell
ebration of the Fourth Of July by the
Petworth Citizens Association, at Sher-
man Circle.
Gen. Fries quoted the Declaration to
show that 1t Is the foundation of ell
American ideals. and stressed that 1t
was incumbent upon the future genera
tions to safeguard the independence so
dearly bought by their forefathers. He
also scored the claim Of pacif1sts that
an adequate national defense would
create i'll will and suspicion toward the
United States.
Nearly all houses in the neighborhood
were illuminated with Japanese Ian
terms, for the evening program. which
was marked by community singing of
patriotic songs, led by Sergt. David
Martin of the United States Marine

NEW GOVERNMENTS
FAVOR NAVY CUTS
Move for Reduction in Arma-
ment Gains Impetus in Japan,
England and U. S.
BY the Associated Press.

Administration changes in Japan
Great Britain and the United States
the three leading naval powers-are
regarded in official and diplomatic cir
Giles here as having brought to the fore
viewpoints favorable to naval reduc-
tions
Since President Hoover was inaugu-
rated March 4, the United States has
taken the leadership in pressing not
only for a worldwide policy of naval
limitation, but for reduction in fighting
fleets, no matter how drastic. In con-
nection with this development. Prime
Minister Macdonald of England
promptly initiated conversations with
Ambassador Dawes looking toward a
basis of agreement on the naval ques-
ton between the two major naval
pcSerS.
japanese Favor Reduction.
Former Premier Tanaka of Japan
officially informed the American Gov
eminent that Japan would be whole
heartedly favorable to any steps which
might lead to some solution of the
naval problem, and the liberal govern
ment of Premier Yugo Hamaguchi, who
has just taken Office. Is expected by
diplomatic and official circles to play
an active part in any disarmament
negotiations.
Those who have been closely follow
ing the recent developments pointed out
today that Premier Hamaguchi is a
civilian-the second non-military or
non-naval man to hold the premier
ship in Japan. Former Premier Tanaka,
his predecessor, was army-trained. 1t
was believed here that the present
premier, in view of his civilian back
ground would look with considerable
q 80 cfn
rather than technicians for final dis
cuSsion of the naval question.
The most intimate problem which
each of the three administrations has
before it is the working out of formula
on the basis of the "yardstick" theory
urged by Hugh S. Gibson, American
Ambassador to Belgium, at the recent
session of the League Of Nations pre-
paratory disarmament commission. IN
der this theory, the naval strength of
the several naval powers would be
measured by relative considerations of
age. armor speed and other such
factors in the ships Of each category.
U. S. Formula Ready.
American naval experts have already
evolved tentative plan along the lines
OF the theory, and the United States is
prepared to place its formula in the
hands of the preparatory commission as
soon as some other powers have de-
posted their formulate.
High administration officials here
have decided that 1t would be best for
the United States, since the Washington
Government took the initiative in pro-
posing the plan. to await developments
among the other naval powers. After
the various naval powers have deposited
their formulae, a meeting OF the COM
.nIa1 IN
September-to work out a common
agreement on the technical aspects Of
the situation. This will probably be
followed by a meeting of statesmen to
agree upon a final solution of the prob
lem from a political viewpoint.
