L DUCE STRESSES
PEACEFUL INTENT
Explains Fascist Tenets in
Friendly New Year Broad
cast to U. S.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, January 2.-Benito Mussolini,
italian premier, spoke into a micro
phone here last evening in English to
an audience of millions of Americans.
II Duce, who is reputed not to have
known word of English at the time
of his rising to power eight years ago,
used the occasion of the first Italo-
American international broadcast to
wish America happy New Year, ex-
plain some of the tenets of Italy's
Fascist regime and to declare that italy
never would start war.
He painted out that he himself had
fought in the ranks and was seriously
wounded and asked how any one with
MS experience as a man and states
man could consider a future conflict
without horror.
Emphatic i'm Peace Claims.
He was emphatic in his assertion that
neither he nor his people desired an
other conflict of arms. The training
which Fascist youths undergo, which
has a strong military flavor, he de-
scribed as simply to make them strong,
self-reliant and disciplined.
I'VE cannot conceive of modern his
tory without the United States" he
said Had they not brought their
formidable weight to bear on the stu
ation-moved thereto mainly by ideal
;stic motives-the war. would not have
been won. without their cooperation
the world cannot recover from the post
war crisis. and their help is necessary
If prosperity is to return"
Discussing economic conditions in
Italy. he said:
we have half a million unemployed
in Italy at the present time.
1 prefer relief in the form of public
works, which substantially increase the
efficiency of our national economic
equipment. The dole tends the work.
ers to idleness."
Declares Fascism Solid.
He said that all reports to the con-
trary, the manpower and economic
forces of Italy stand solidly behind
Fascism.
The large emigration of Italians to
the United States and of American
tourists to Italy, he declared, foster
friendship between the two countries
In conclusion, he said: II am conf
dent that the peace of the world will
be preserved and that before long a
new era of prosperity will dawn"

REPORT ON PROHIBITION
Is FURTHER DELAYED

Prospects of report on prohibition
in the immediate future by the Wicker
sham Law Enforcement Commission
were further dimmed today as word
came from its headquarters that the
recess would continue until Monday or
Tuesday.
Only a few members were present.
Chairman Wickersham was in New
York, and possibly will not return until
Tuesday. Even when the commission
gathers next week it was held possible
a complete roster could not be called.

is EXPECTED
IN BRITISH MINE STRIKE
Arrangement to Allow 10000
Workers to Resume Labor Is
Anticipated for Tomorrow.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 2. Optimistic
expectations prevailed here today that
differences between miners and mine
operators in South Wales would be
ironed tomorrow in meeting of the
Cancellation Board.
It was hoped that at least a tempo
rary arrangement would be made which
would permit $50, 900 miners who walk
ed out in protest at reduction of their
working hours and lessening of their
wages to return to work.
Neither the miners nor the mine
operators have shown the slightest sign
of weakening in their demands, and
the grounds upon which such a posi-
BILE agreement may be made are re-
garded as purely speculative.

SPEECH REFLECTS FRIENDLINEss.
Broadcast Believed Attempt TO Coun-
teract Propaganda.
By Cable to The Star.

BY Cable to The Star
ROME, Italy, January a. Premier
Benito MUssolini'S radio talk to Amer
lea last night, in which he disclaimed
all desire for war and called upon the
United States to lead the world in the
recovery of prosperity, is interpreted
here as an effort on II Duces part to
counterfeit the anti-FasciSt propaganda
which has flooded America recently
and as a reassuI ance to American busi-
ness men who have been led to believe
that Fascism is preparing for an armed
conflict
Certainly the flowers he presented to
the United States, including his praise
of American writers and statesmen
with a notable omission of Wilson-are
at variance with the opinions expressed
by the Fascist press in recent years.
At the same time, this frank talk in
English reflects Fascism's keen desire
to be friendly with the United States,
particularly now, when the French
group of nations is unusually unfriend-
ly to Italy, and Great Britain. one of
Fascisrn's oldest friends, is giving Italy
little encouragement in its diplomatic
differences with France.
The italian premier's talk was also
broadcast over Europe.

FLYING RATES FIRST
in BOY|SH AMBITION
Back Seat, as Career Desire,
Is Given Cowboy, Base Ball
and Detective.
BY the Associated Press.

BY tFe associated PreSS.
CLEVELAND, January 2.-Lindbergh
and the sciences have captured the am
bition of Midwestern American boys
Gone to back seat, at least when
choosing careers, is the big fascination
of Babe Ruth, cowboys and detectives.
The girls are not so certain about
what they want. 1t appears that they
would like best to become typists, but
really expect to be housewives and dc
not rate movie careers as so hot.
Twenty-six thousand boys and girls
of Kansas City and Topeka answered
the questions upon which these find
ings were based as reported to the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science today by Prof Harvey
c. Lehman of Ohio University, Athens.
Ohio. The sexes were evenly divided
and the ages of all ranged from 8l2
to 1872.
Asked Two Questions.
They were asked both what they
liked best and what they were willing
to do, the latter seemingly developing
their ideas of duty or reality. The
likes differed considerably from will
ingness, but not in aviation.
The boys rankings of willingness
were aviation first and then the three
applied sciences, civil engineering, ar.
chitecture and electrical engineering
In the also rams were all the old IA
vorites, cowboy being fifth, the Babe
Ruths tenth, Casey Joneses thirteenth
and detectives twenty-sixth.
Aviation ctauod cypr moro mani
mouSly at the top when only likes were
consulted. But the boys threw out
some of the science, substituting the
law and cowboy along with civil engi-
neering in the first four places.
The girls ranked typist first when
expressing their likes, but were not as
unanimous as the boys. Housewife
came second, nurse third and movie
actress fourth.
Housewife Moves Ahead.
But when asked what they we're will
ing to do, housewife moved to the top
Movie actress went down to rank thir-
tenth and nurse eleventh.
Telephone operator never rose above
twentieth position. Saleslady rated last
in the willingness answers, and dropped
out completely in the tabulation of likes.
Woman's forgiveness may be just
forgetfulness, but not of the absent
minded type. 1t Is sex difference.
This difference applies to forgetting
pleasant and unpleasant experiences
and was reported by H. Meltzer of the
Psgchiatric Child Guidance Clinic of
st. Louis.
What Men Forget.
Men, he said, forget 3.18 per cent
more pleasant experiences than women,
while the feminine folks forget 3.22 per
cent more of the unpleasant than do
men. This is on first recall. AS time
passes the difference in forgettories of
the same events widens somewhat more
Men more frequently than women,
even in modern days." said Meltzer,
use what G. B. Shaw talks of as the
opiate of booze to make them forget
In women, on the other hand, this need
m4nifestS itself in the effectiveness OF
memory. Hence their larger forgetting
of the unpleasant.
Following similar lines of reasoning,

ONE DIES, SIX HURT
IN BALTIMORE FIRE
Printer Killed in Leap After
Explosion Destroys $780,
600 Post Plant.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Md, January a.
Fire in three hours last night destroyed
the 100000 four-story plant of the
Baltimore Post, a Scripps Howard news
paper, taxing one life and injuring SIX
Today the paper was being published
at the Baltimore Sun while officials
from New York attended a conference
here to determine whether the plant
would be rebuilt
The fire started shortly after 6 O'Clock
with an explosion in the Photographic
department adjoining the editorial room
on the second floor. Eighteen men we're

Joseph r. Douglass, a linotype oper-

dow and made a desperate leap for a
ladder that was being raised by one OF
the first fire companies to arrive. He
missed and plunged to the street, frac-
turing his skull. He died an hour later
in a hospital.
The other members of the composing
room staff escaped down a fire escape
in the rear of the build ng; some leaping
from windows after reaching the sec
ond floor.
Confusion followed and it was several
hours before the editors of the paper
had completed a check that showed all
persons accounted for. For more than
an hour it was believed five workmen
were still trapped in the building.
AS the fire roared through the old
building sheets of flame lowered into
the sky and sparks threatened adjoin-
ing property. Within an hour of the
first alarm the roof crashed in, carrying
floors and tons of machinery and type
into the basement. More than so lines

officials of the Fire Department to-
day were seeking the cause Of the eX-
plosion.
The fire was discovered by watch
man who observed smoke while walking
across the second floor. He sounded the
alarm and called to employees to vacate
the building.
The injured included battalion fire
chief, who received an arm fracture.
-Four OF those hurt were employees Of
the paper. Their injuries were not
serious
The Post was established November
20, 1922. The building was located at
the corner of Lombard and Hanover

walls were of brick, but the interior was
