sincerity and confidence allow me to say that the Italian delegation will be second to none in it's efforts to secure the end in view.
 The Fascist government is de- sirous of securing real and tangible results in the fields of disarmament and security, which two 1t considers linked indissolubly together, for two reasons, one of which I may call na- tional and the other European or orld wide.
 The head of the Italian govern mcnt, Signor Mussolini, has lad down vast program of work for the progress of our country which requires a long period of peace for it's execution and to which the manor resources and best energies of the Italian people are devoted. Italy desires nothing better than 10 carry out this program in a peace rul Europe and a peaceful world.
 Seek National security
 "But this is not all. A sense Of in tcrnational solidarity is inborn in thc Italian peorIe-all it's history and doctrines of it's great thinkers be witness to this fact.-aDd we are deeply convinced Of the need of an international understanding as basis for that reciprocal conference which is so essential for pacific pro- gross.
 The Fascist government always has been ready to accept any pro- posal offering concrete prospects for disarmament and not only has it shown constantly its willingness to give in effect but it also has re- duccd spontaneously it's armaments and maintained them at minimum. For this reason the invitation to rarticirate in this naval conference was received last October with so much favor by the government Of my country.
 AS our president has just stated the eyes Of the world are turned to- day toward London, and the chief executive Of great country to whom the cause of peace owes much, President Hoover, correctly referred to this conference as the most important of those which have met in late years and probably of those which will meet in the future. The nations will judge of us by re- suits"

Grandi speaks for Italy

London, Jan. "l LPH-Dino Grandl Italian foreign minister, in his ad- dress at the opening Of the Five Power naval conference today cY- pressed hope that a solution would be found for difficulties facing world naval disarmament.
 We have become convinced how cver,' he said, that the problem is one calling for courageous action for in the field of disarmament there's S much truth in the saying that half measures are always faiures."
 Signor Grandi's address follows In part:
 "Allow me first Of all 10 express the gratitude of the Italian delcga- ton for the kind words Of welcome which the king graciously has been pleased to address to the delegates from the different parts of the world, convened at this historic meeting on which his majesty $ presence has conferred such dignity and prestige.

lures of the group were taken.
 Tn just a few minutes now the raval conference will be formally opened in London" said Jahnckc be- fore the broadcast began. This conference has been characterized by President Hoover as the most inn portant in a great many years, and probably the most important for many years to come. He has also said that the progress of peace for the world rests in great measure upon the shoulders Of the five dele gatlons.
 Navy Looks For Success
 As the navy is heavily represent cd in the American delegation. we representatives of the navy here in the United States, in common with all the people of this country, naturally want to sec this confer cnce succeed. We know that, as the president has said, there is the will to succeed on inc part Of the five participating nations.
 So it seems 10 me that despite the carly hour it would be interest ing for those Of us from the navy 10 listen directly 10 the king of Eng land as he opens the first plcnary session of this conference upon which our commander in chief places so much hope for the future benefit of mankind. That is why l ask you to join me in listening to the kings address as 1t comes over the radio.

 CramtOn Accepts Challenge
 While the plans of the wet" were being formulated, Representative Cramton, republican, Michigan. to- day took up the challenge of Repre- sentative Sirovich of New York, with it's prosopal that emetics be subs.i- tuted for poisons as denaturants of industrial alcohol. The Michigan member Nas given ten minutes o. the houses time for his reply.
 Cramton's view was that such q substitution would place a severe handicap upon the industries ma;;- ing use of denatured alcohol in al dition, he held that the treasury h1 experimental with the denaturants proposed by Sirovich and had found them impractical.
 Two members of the cabinet. Sec- retary Mellon and Attorney General Mitchell, are to be called before con- sressional committees in connection with legislation proposed by Presi- dent Hoover to transfer the prohibit ton unit from the treasury to the justice department.

They arc conscious of the compel ling need Of eliminating the danger of Sanguinary and Wastctul warfare and of enabling all nations to work out in peace their own destlnics with the assurance of international fair ness and justice. The intense interest manifested in Japan in the present conference is an eloquent sign Of the pacific aspirations Of our own country.
 "Japan's policy Of peace has been abundantly demonstrated at the conferences at Washington and at Geneva, and in her earnest partici- patton in the manifold activities Of the League of Nations. Again, it was in pursuance of the same policy that Japan whole -heartedly associat- ed herself with the spirit and aim oi the pact Of Paris.
 We are now about 10 embark on the deliberations of this conference with that universal testament Of peace as our starting point.

She is ready to effect not merely a limita- tion but an actual reduction in na ? val strengths, which she considers to be all appropriate and necessary program Of peace, as well as q measure for relieving the nations from onerous financial burdens, Her only concern is 10 keep the sense Of national security of the people un- disturbed by retaining such force as is adequate for the defense Of the empire but not sufficient for offcn- sivc operations,

favor of the kirkham method of settlement, saying that the case, if brought to court. would result in considerable disa agreeable notoriety and publicity for the local hospital. Councilman Thomas A. Tracy said that if it were taken into court New Britain might be shown up for the statement which it had made con- corning the negligence of the Bris- tol hospital. Mayor Crumh believed that the cost of lawyers for a suit would cxpend any money which might be obtained and that it would probably be foolish 10 attempt to collect
 Doube Kirkham's Authority
 After a lengthy talk on the sub ject, the members of the council finally said that they did not think that the New Britain judge had the authority 10 effect any settlement in the case. It was explained that the case had to be presented before the local city council before any action could be taken, and it was believed that the same procedure was ncc- cssary in New Britain.
 When tho charity department Of New Britain was brought up, Attor- ney Tracy averred that not more than sl0 per day could be paid by that particular branch Of the New Britain government.
 The members Of the council acted very friendly towards the ohe-' of Judge kirkham for a spht settle ment but doubted his authority to effect such an offer. It is expected that Attorney Tracy will again con- fer with the judge on the case and nill report at the next meeting Of the council.
 The case IS the outgrowth Of a pc culiarlv involved series Of circum- stances. The Thompson boy. who formerly resided in New Britain, was taken to the Bristol hospital after an accident but later, at his fathers request, transferred to the New Britain hospital. There small pox developed and, at the instiga- ton of the Hardware City health officials. he was brought back to thi: city and placed in the isolation hos pital. New Britain has contended that he contracted smallpox while in the local hospital, where there were several cases at the time. and for that reason has disclaimed re- sponsibility for payment. Bristol is standing by the gentleman agree, ment." made at the time, by which i. Is said New Britain agreed to as. sume financial responsibility in the natter
