Comparing With Averages

how they can determine if their youngster is progressing
properly for his age.
They have no standard by which to Judge except the
boasting of other parents and naturally they wish to know

Barthou-MussoIini ParIey in
October Expected to
End Rift.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME. September 24-Develop-
ments which may have lasting effect
on Europe's twentieth century history
are expected with the visit of French
Foreign Minister Louis Barthou to
Premier Mussolini, scheduled for the
end Of October.
1t will be the first time a French
foreign minister mas come to Rome
since the war.
The visit Is expected to mark the
end of chickering's and bad feelings
that have characterized postwar
Italo-French relations 1t also is ex-
pected to mark the beginning of a
Franco italian collaboration.
Expect to Solve Problems.
It is expected that solution to prob
lens will be more or less as follows:
|. Naval parity: Italy will reach
theoretical parity with France, but
France will continue to have an
effective superiority because she has
not only the Mediterranean, but also
the Atlantic and the English Channel
to watch. There will. in any event, be
actual parity in the Mediterranean.
2. Italian citizens in Tunis: Italians
resident there now may continue to be
Italians for six months, at which time
they must request a continuance OF
the permission, six months another
continuance, ad inflnitum. This period
now will be extended TO five or ten
years.
Italy May Get Territory.
8. A territorial concession by France
TO Italy: This is expected to be
triangular strip of territory at the
southwest end of Tripoli. Italy would
like to reach as far as Lake Chad, but
It is not believed the French will be
so generous.
f. Collaboration in the Danubian
Basin: France will use her influence
with the Little Entente, Czechoslo-
vakia. Rumania and YugoSlavia. to in
duce them to help faltering Austria
and Hungary. France and Italy will
then sponsor a Danubian commercial
pact.
5. independence of Austria: France
and Italy will work together to pre-
vent. if possible, growth of Nazi in
f1uence in Austria and to counteract
the SchuSchnigg government
6. Disarmament: Italy's plan hith-
erto has been to compromise between
France and Germany by leaving to
France her elaborate military machine
while at the same time permitting
certain rearmament of Germany. But
since Italy's sentiments toward Nazi
Germany have radically changed with
the assassination of Dollfuss. It now is
considered certain Mussolini will drop
his idea of German rearmament and
insist on a stricter adherence of Ger
many to the limits laid down by the
Versailles treaty.
