The war was o revelation to Grand
He suffered at the idea that Italy had
lost so many men for practically moth
ing. He suffered still more after the
armistice when he went back to Bologna
to practice law, seeing how the old poll
ticians were messing up things.
Writes Mumolini.
When Mussolini started his Fascist
movement, Grand became an enthusi-
astic adherent and wrote Mussolini q
letter in which he set forth his rea-
sons for joining Fascism. -
I'VE have many enemies against
whom we must fight. The old conServa-
tive bourgeoisie and the Socialist cur.
rent. They do not answer TO the reali-
ties Of our present-day life. The -1tal-
ian spirit requires something pro-
foundly new. This new move must
combine the roots Of the old Italian ira
dition and on the other hand 1t must
the new national aspirations Of the
italian people" -
Mussolini accepted the young lawyer
in his party. He was looking for young
enthusiastic men and thought that In
this new adherent his embryonic party
would find real pillar.
italy In Sore State.
italy was In O sore state Immediately
after the war. The old political parties
showed extreme weakness. Socialism
was rampant. In many important fac
tories Soviets were established. Italy's
economic life was brought to q stand
still by frequent strikes. The railways
were running whenever the engineers
saw ut state officials, telegraph and
telephone employees, who In italy are
government controlled, were most of
the time on strike. Not that they had
any specific grudge, but 1t was an easy
way to have holiday and continue to
draw salary.
Those who lived In Italy in 1920
shook their heads and prophesied the
next country to 60 Bolshevist would be
that important European peninsula.
Mussolini developed his movement under
sdch favorable circumstances for his
Fascist idea. Grand became one OF his

Mussolini was afraid 70 let him handle
the more Important questions where he
had 10 be put against Europe's tried old
diplomats. Consequently he kept the
ministry OF foreign Affairs to himself
and appointed Grand under.secretary
Of foreign affairs entrusting him with
less important tasks but giving him Q
chance to study and develop his per-
sonality.
Three years later, Il Duce decided
that his budding diplomat had passed
the stage Of apprenticeship and made
him Italy's foreign minister. Graudi
was then 80 years old.
AS such, he represented italy at all
the important meetings OF the League
of Nations at Geneva. He represented
Italy at the Locarno conference which
at that time was supposed TO have
solved ell possible MISUNDERSTANDING
between France, Germany and italy.
He .was particularly successful ct the
London naval conference in 1929. He
Impressed the British chief delegate,
Ramsay Macdonald and our own Sec
rotary OF State by the powerful argu-
ments he was bringing in defending the
italian thesis Of parity with France and
he particularly impressed them by his
frankness and Straightforward way

States Italy's Stand.
ITALY" he said, desires sincerely
peace and needs disarmament. We are
willing to reduce our navy to any mini
mum you may wish, provided the same
ratio applies to France. Italy has no
intention Of fighting her neighbor, but
cannot afford to be put in . position
Of ipferiority because Italy's entire eco
monte LIE depends on the freedom Of
sea communication. italy has no raw
materials, italy must import about
40 per cent Of her food: she must
consequently maintain an adequate
navy. II France is given the advantage
OF having superior navy to our own,
our people VIII. feei Inenaced and the
country would rightly believe that they
are at the mercy of their neighbor."
He exposed his argument with such
forcefulneSs that he won to Italys side
the representatives Of America and
Great Gritain.
Grand is q good orator. he has that
great quality of restraining his oratpri-
cal talent. He speaks In public only
when it Ia necessary and than he u as
brief Is possible. His, mannsr:of speech
Is not rhetorical or dcNery.. It's simple

thus inevitably weaken the meaning OF
what he or the President IS saying.
Grand means to have thorough dis
cussion with the leaders OF this country
and for that reason he has decided TO
take ample time. There are so many
/ problems which AFFECT, In the same way,
both countries that his conversations are
bound to give some positive results.
Italy and the United States are both
strongly In favor Of disarmament. The
President has repeatedly stated that the
absurd race for ornaments Is costing
the world q colossal sum which could
be used in every country more advan-
tageousiy. italy. knows this too well.
Der of economic schemes meant to raise
the standard Of living Of the italian
people because she felt compelled to
spend large sums on her army and navy.
Favor Treaty Revisions.
The Italians have served notice on
the other nations that they consider
necessary the revision Of the peace
treaties. They have so concluded for
two reasons: First, they realize there
are o number Of questions arising in
Europe as Q consequence of the unjust
frontiers which have been established
by the treaty Of Versailles; and second
because the Italians feel that they have
not received the full share Of their
sacrifices during the World War. Italy
has . rapidly growing population and
needs room for expansion,
At the end OF the World War, Great
Britain and France have divided among
themselves the German colonies and
the Turkish provinces. Some Of them
have been annexed outright, others
such as Palestine and Syria have been
taken over by the above mentioned
powers under the mandate system.
Italy has been left out and feels
cheated. BY beginning agitation for
revision of the Versailles and other
treaties, she hopes to attract attention
to what she considers her injustice,
and hopes to obtain some OF the
colonies which she accuses France and
Britain to have grabbed. ,,.5,.
U. s. Can't Help Much.
The United States cannot help italy
much on this question. We have signed
none Of the treaties our former allies
have signed with the central powers
at the end Of the war. Consequently
the most the Italians can expect from
this Government Is moral support,
which may or may not be helpful to
them. There Is no doubt the revision
Of the peace treaties is one Of the ques.
tions which has more dynamite than
any Of the other questions which render
the European situation precariouS to-
day. The administration realizes that
any serious effort to bring about such
q revision at present would cause new
war In Europe. While theoretically the

FIRST HAL|BUT 'OF SEASON HERE,
 '2O,0O0 POUNDS
Buyers Insist on New
 Grades with Which Fish ermen Find ault

Twenty thousand pounds of hali- but, the first catch since the open ing of the fishing season Febru- ary 15, were brought to Juneau to- day by the schooner Norland, Capt. Thomas Sandvik. None of the cargo has yet been offered for sale, local buyers refusing to discuss probable prices unless the hailing is put on the auction board and the boatmen awaiting an answer to an in quiry cabled Seattle as to quota tions there.
 An issue equaiiing in importance the price question, and seriously af- fecting it, is the new grading rules that buyers have adopted for the present season.
 Grade Under Old Rules
 Under the old regulations, first grade halibut was all fish weighing between 10 and 80 pounds each; second grade was all fish between 5 and 10 pounds, or more than 80 pounds each; fish under pounds was thrown away or sold on the basis of two pounds for the price of ene pound of second grade.
 Under the new regulations, first grade halibut is all fish weighing between 10 and 60 pounds each, second grade being any fish be- tween and 10 pounds, or more than 60 pounds, and fish under 5 pounds being thrown away or sold On the two-to-one basis.
 ' If the new regulations are en
The Daily Alaska empire., 1931-02-21

forced, fishermen declare their catches will grade one-third more of second grade fish this year than they did under the old regulations last year. Usually second grade halibut sells for or 4 cents a pound less than first grade and sometimes second grade brings only half as much as first grade.
 Tie-up Is Predicted .
 Some of the fishermen state that if the new regulations are enforced, returns to fishermen will not jus tify their operations and that yii- tually all boats of the Juneau fleet after coming back from their first trips, will tie up.
 Juneau buyers, who represent wholesalers in the States, declare that all Seattle buyers are united for enforcement of the new regu- lations, and that they must be en- forced here and elsewhere in Alas ka. The buyers deny that the new regulations will make the large diff ference in the amount of second grade fish claimed by the fisher men.
 Fishermen admit that at meet ing in Seattle recently buyers framed and agreed to adhere to the new regulations, but insist that since the meeting a few of the buy CTS have announced they would operate independently under the old regulations.
 Norland's Catch Light
 The Norland's catch only partly fills her hold. When she left fol the banks she intended to fish fol full cargo, but, after three days stormy weather compelled her tc take in her hooks and Captain Sandvik concluded to come to port with what he had.
 If advices from Seattle as to prices and grading indicate the market there is more favorable fol fishermen than market prospects here, he will run there with his catch.
