MUSSOL|N'S PLAN
Probable Suggestions on
United States and Russia
Create Interest.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, December 7-League of Ma
tions officials awaited with interest to-
day the recommendations Premier Mus
solini Of Italy was considered likely to
make on the projected reformation of
the League.
They were most anxious to learn
whether such plan would permit ad-
hesion Of the United States and Soviet
Russia to the international body.
An edict by the Fascist Grand Coun-
Gil made public yesterday. that the
League must be radically reformed if
Italy is to remain was regarded in
League circles as reaction from the
fact that small powers gradually have
achieved excessive authority in the
League of Nations.
The spokesman for the organization
pointed out that the big nations origi-
nally held potential majority when
the League Council consisted of nine
members, but now small powers have
10 seats in the governing body.

told newspaper men, "fall into two
classes. Those in which offenders are
in jail awaiting trial and those IN which
they are out on bond.
II suppose those who serve actual
time while awaiting trial will be dealt
with more leniently than those who
are free. The general attitude toward
first offenders, people previously Of
good character and not likely to offend
again, will be one Of extreme leniency.
Some may turn out to be legitimate
cases for adjustment with the revenue

TOXIC IS CURIOUS, ALOoF.

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC, December (P).-Mild, aloof
curiosity characterized Toxic oficial-
dom's reaction today to reports from
Europe of movement to reform the
League Of Nations.
The consensus here was that Japan
would not be seriously concerned until
the movement develops beyond its pres
ent purely European stage
Officials declined to comment on the
possibility the proposed changes in the
League would tempt Japan to cancel
the resignation she submitted last
March 27.
A foreign Office spokesman said it
would be impossible to define Japan's
attitude until the motives and objec-
tives Of the proposed reform were clari-
fed.
He added that reformation where
by the League would abandon it's politi-
cal functions and aspirations and con-
fine its activities to cultural and hu-
rnanitarian enterprises would facilitate
Japan's cooperation.
In fact, the Japanese government al
ready has decided to continue its partici-
patton in such League activities-despi
it's resignation; hence, many believed,
there would be no serious difficulties in
Japan's re-entry into League reformed
along such lines.

away with League articles binding sig

when she came back from the
kitchen she would find him
bending over the little bed,
touching the baby'S cheeks
with one Of his big fingers and
talking to him In q gruff man

"Shut up or III bust you one

would say. ''You make as much

he could see Mary Faith bathe

ment of Mary Faith and the
horror Of Mrs. Farrell. And he
bundled him UP and took him
for an airing on the seat of
his car.
"Our life is just the way I
always pictured It," Mary Faith
said to him that night as they

for the MaldonS to come over

would ask. Gosh, I never saw

"Your hair-it always smells

weakly and foolishly, and began
to cry because she was so

BY the middle of February
Mary Faith was on her feet

but on the very tips Of her
toes, more eager for life and
work and happiness than she
had ever been before.
The days were all too short
now although she got up at s
o'clock every morning when
the baby stirred in his little
bed and began to shout for
his bottle in a voice that to her
was the most beautiful sound
that was ever heard.
''Our Little Son"
Listen to our son and his
little hunger-song," she would
say to Kim as she slipped out
Of bed and hurried into the
kitchen to warm the first
little six-ounce bottle Of the
day. "He's going to be a grand
opera singer some day, and

"Or q radio announcer at

to describe the way she came
rushing into the flat with her

she said breathlessly. "I just
