PEACE MESSAGES BROADCAST FROM
 PROMINENT MEN
Premier MussOlini Gave a Splendid Address From Rome and Premier Ben= nett of Canada Spoke From Calgary

New York, Jan 2-(UP)-Two
 messages of peace and amity were
 broadcast to the United States on
 New Years day, one from Premier | Benito Mussolini in Rome, and the
 other from the Canadian premier, R.. | B. Bennett. in Calgary, Alberta. | Italy will never take the offensive | in starting another war;" Premier | Mussolini said. Italy needs peace. A
 new war would be even more dread- full than the last. Peace and quiet ] prevail in our country now. In no other regime has Italy enjoyed such | sound conditions"
 The premier said he expected the i present economic depression and un-
 employment in Italy would soon be l remedied.
 ] There are a million unemployed in Italy now" he said, but we are
 starting public works by which we hope to alleviate the national econo- mic depression
 | He assured the American people
 of Italy's lasting friendship, and
 sent his greetings to the several mil lions of Italians in the United States. ] Faith in the growth of a universal
 world dwide spirit of cooperation that l must inevitably result in better
 things for mankind was expressed l by Premier Bennett.
 l We all have suffered, but we all
 have survived the greatest depression
 on record" he said.
 l "In the testing time through which
 we have passed, it is natural that
 economic suffering should perhaps
 have shut our eyes to the truth that
 out of it has come the finest proof of the worlds true progerss, for
 amid this universal distress the civil
 ized nations have stood in amity to- ] gether, each intent on measures for it's own relief but all steadfast in a
 common purpose to fulfill their ob- l ligations to humanity; and that
 means much to the peace of the l world'
 Premier Bennett also made a plea for universal disarmament. "If weap-
 ons for war are forged The said, Ian opportunity for their use will be

NEW YEAR CHEER WAS STARTED BY THE PRESIDENT
Shook Hands With 6,429 Persons, Signed Naval Treaty and Then Prepar- ed for Congress Reopen. ing

Washington, Jan 2-(UP)-Presi- dent Hoover, after beginning the
 New Year by proclaiming the Lon-
 don naval treaty and shaking hands with 6,429 persons at the White
 House reception. turned to-day to preparations for reassembling of
 congress next Monday after it's holiday recess.
 The proclamation of the treaty's effectiveness came 24 hours after the ratification. It was not accompanied 1 by comment, MT Hoover having
 already gone on record as asserting
 the treaty would prevent "compe-
 titive building of navies with all its flow of suspicion, hate and ultimate disaster"
 By signing the treaty proclama-
 tion MT Hoover accomplished the final formality of putting the pact into force. It was signed last
 April after the United States. Great
 Britain and Japan had negotiated
 the agreement to restrict naval
 buildings for six years. The U. S. senate ratified the instrument last
 July.
 The only application to France and Ita'ly. the other participants in the London negotiations, relates to a pledge for "humanized" submar- inc usage.
 The public reception at the White
 House found Mir and Mrs Hoover extending greetings to all who cared to call. The line formed early but did not begin moving thruogh the blue room until afternoon. In keeping this century-o old tradi- tion. Mir Hoover went beyond the | usual practice of presidents and in- vited two of his visitors in for break fast. Those honored were Arthur J. Demars, an insurance man, and
 Charley r. Ruby, trainman. They were noticed by Mir Hoover's asso.

CHILD PARALYSIS
RARE IN DISTRICT
Only II Cases Here in 1880,
but Four Die, Health Re-
port Shows.

Little evidence of infantile paralysis
epidemic in other parts Of the coun-
try, has been noted in the District, ac-
cording to statistics made available
yesterday in the annual report of Health
Officer William c. Fowler
During 1880 only IL cases were re-
ported, a case rate of % per 100000
population. But four Of these cases
resulted in death, a fatality incidence
of 1914 per cent Although the figures
are several months out Of date, DR..
Fowler said there is no evidence of
an outbreak in the District Of Columbia
at the time of writing this report"
Infant mortality in the District in
creased slightly during 1880. For each
! 900 children born, 70.8 died under
year of age. as compared with 69.6
in 1929. The white mortality rate in
creased from 472 to Sis, while the
colored rate declined from 1865 TO
I'LL.
Death Total Declines.
The number of deaths recorded in
the District was 7,403. a decline of IS
as compared with the previous year.
DR.. Fowler reported that the isola-
for treatment of those afflicted with
contagious diseases, ARE not modern
either in structure or equipment"
He said difficulty has been expert
enced in the past in persuading two
private hospitals to enter into con-
tracts for the treatment of cases of
contagious diseases. For many years
they have been maintaining their iso-
lation wards at loss. Providence Hos
pital now has definitely refused to con-
tinue its contract. and the District is
having trouble persuading the authori-
ties at Garfield Hospital to continue
theirs
Says Force Too Small.
The health officer continued his i'm
portunity in behalf Of more medical and
dental inspectors for school inspection
work. During the past fiscal year his
force was enlarged, but it is still too
small, he said. The increase in exam
nations secured through the larger
force was 95.8 per cent. The Importance
of this work is shown. DR.. Fowler said,
by the fact that of the pupils exam
ined, 92.5 were found TO be suffering
from some physical defect. A large
number of these, the report said, were
of very minor Importance and easily
corrected.
However, 62.1 per cent of the children
were found suffering from defective
teeth. 535 per cent from enlarged ton
sis; 1873 from enlarged cervical glands;
20 per cent from defective nasal breath
ing; 1874 per cent from the SubStandard
nutrition; 1874 per cent from defective
vision; 38 per cent from heart diseases,
and 2 per cent from pulmonary all
ments.
