sTIMsoN TO SEE DUCE TODAY.

ROME, July (P.-Col. Henry L.
StimSon. American Secretary of State.
had a long talk this morning with Dino
Grand, Italian foreign minister, the
FIRST Of numerous statesmen whom he
will meet while he is in Europe.
There was no official statement re-
garding the conference, but their talk,
it was revealed. touched on the Hoover
moratorium and probably included dis
cussion of the new proposals which
France is understood to have made re-
garding naval accord with Italy.
The conversations also prepared the
grounds for Col. Stimson's meeting with
Premier Mussolini this afternoon.
Will Discuss Arms.
That conference. 1t Is expected, will
deal primarily with disarmament con-
corning which the premier's views are
said to coincide on the whole with those
Of the United States.
If a Franco-Italian accord should
develop from resumption of negotiations
between France and Italy this would
be an important step in the direction of
the premier, 1t is thought. are likely to
discuss the effects Of such an accord
on next years disarmament conference.
Italian american Day..
At q luncheon after their morning
conference Signor Grand described
COL Stimson's visit at marking "A
great day for international relations. +"
He called this occasion ITALIAN
pleasure at renewing his acquaintance
with "a great friend Of mine, a great
friend of peace and one of the worlds
most far-sighted statesmen"
President Hoover's moratorium pro-
posal, he said, will be memorable in
history. ! am convinced that all Ma
lions must CONSIDER other Nations not
as potential enemies, but as friends.
Italy and America are working along
that line. President Hoover started
the great work and all the Nations
must follow him"
Views Found to Vary.
Last March q tri-partite naval accord
between France, Italy and Great
Britain was announced, but in May it
developed that there had been differ
ences Of Interpretation regarding some
phases OF the agreement which France
considered of paramount importance.
The stumbling block was the variance
in views regarding French replacement
of average tonnage. Originally the
British and the Italians contended that
no replacement tonnage would be laid
down between 1884 and 1886, except for
vessels actually reaching the age limit
between 1887 and 1899.
It was conceded that France should
retain her average vessels and at q
conference in 1885, it should be de-
cided to what extent she could build
requirements.
The last French proposal was that
she should not begin construction be-
fore the 1885 conference, but she in
sisted on her right to free hand
should that conference fail to reach
an agreement.
The British counter proposal. which
received support from Italy, was that
the French could build new tonnage
after 1885. but only to the extent and
at the rate to be agreed upon at the
conference In that year. Failing an
agreement at that conference. France
would remain bound to reconstruct
tonnage % provided IN. the London
treaty.

President Harding was the father of her
i2-year- daughter, based her suit
on charges that Klunk had DETAINED her
character in circulating The Answer to
the Presidents Daughter"
Biblical quotations marked both sides
OF the final arguments. William A
Marsteller, counsel for Miss Britton,
said that as the Bible was written to
point cut right from wrong, so was Miss
Britton's book. The Presidents Dsugh-
ter" was written. he asserted, to show
the need for law to give an illegttimate
child the same claim on its father as
its mother.
Attorneys for Klunk countered with
the contention the charges made against
Miss Britton in The Answer to the
Presidents Daughter" we're true.
Grant Mouser OF Marion, a friend of
President Harding, told the Jurors he
mad known Miss Britton as a child and
her family, and that 'she had a wild
imagination In her adolescence
OF her book. Mouser asserted: This
salacious, lascivious and poisonous book
could not be perpetrated in any other
country but the United States. I"
