ITALY SEEKS MORE
ARMS FOR NAZ|S
MussoIini Plans to Increase
Efficiency of Own Linn
tied Forces.

Copyright. 1884. by the Associated Press.
ROME, May 2.-Italy has deter
mined to increase the power Of her
military while seeking an arms agree
ment under which Germany would be
permitted moderate rearmament, the
Associated Press learned yesterday.
Henceforth, 1t was disclosed, the
italian government will proceed in
military matters along two lines:
First, to plead the cause of limita-
ton Of ornaments at present levels
with certain rearmament of Germany
Second, to add the greatest possible
amount of efficiency to Italian mill
tary forces.
Kings Speech Cited.
The policy was enunciated by high
officials in commenting upon King
Victor Emmanuels declaration Satur-
day for strengthened military arm.
These two courses are not incom-
patible, the officials declared, adding
that the King did not mean to imply
he had lost hope in Premier Mus
solini's arms limitation plan.
Opening Parliament, the King de-
clared Italy desires peace, but" he
added, "the best guarantee of this
peace is the efficiency of our armed
forces. My government will augment

the same time seek a limitation of
ornaments.
Armaments agreements in the past,
they contended, always have permitted
replacement of old units and there
has been no announcement against
heightening the proficiency of officers
and soldiers through training.
AS to the German modified rearma-
ment phase Of the Italian program,
officials say that Mussolini holds q
principle Of any disarmament con-
vention should be the permitting of
some rearming by the Nazis. W

and perfect this efficiency, which rests
on three points-oficers, materials
and unity of preparation"
To Solve Problems.
High officials, with world attention
attracted to Rome by The Kings dec
laration, pointed out that he also
promised Italy will work to try to
solve some of the most urgent prob
lens of European and world wide
order"
The officials said that among these
problems the King implied a refer
ence to disarmament.
1t is no secret that Mussolini die
tated most of the lines of the Kings
speech. Therefore, in referring to dis
armament, the King also referred to
II Duce's plan for limitation at pres
ent levels rather than outright dis
armament.
The military aspect of the Kings
speech has given rise to much COM
ment.
Increased Arms Doubted.
There Is no doubt that the monarch
and his government mean to increase
the efficiency of the military, but there
is some doubt as to whether this
means increased ornaments.

stated it is not illogical to strive for
increased military efficiency and at
