The organization includes sec tion called the "balilla musketeers, . consisting of hundreds of thou sands of tots armed with miniature rifles which shoot and carry bay onets. Each rifle has stamped on it the name of an Italian soldier who fell in the World War. By virtue of this early or pre- military training, said com- munique issued by the government, the youths will be ready, when they enter the regular armed fore es, ito dedicate themselves exclu- sively to warlike and professional and specialized training in aims" :"
 From the balilla organization the boys go up through the avanguard- isti and young fascists of com bat" eventually to do their pe- riod of service in the army.
 At the age of Is the Ital-

 arms.
 After 21 he will be free of the obligation of continuous service but will be subject to obligatory post military training until he is 33. This training is to be given on Sun days, holidays and in annual pc riods of recall to arms.

mandatory on the Mcleod bill
June II. SO far 1874 members have
signed it and several more are ex-
pected to do so today.
The outstanding differences be-
tween the Steagall bill and the
Mcleod bill Is that the latter
provides that relief be dispensed
by the RFC rather than the
FDIC, on the ground that costly
receiverships could be avoided.
The Mcleod bill, too, requires
that frozen bank assets be pur-
chased, while the Steagall bill
simply gives authority for the
purchases in the event officials
of the FD1C choose to make
them.

President Roosevelt has decided
to refrain from recommending in
his debt message to Congress any
general downward revision Of
Europe'S debts to the United
States at the present time.
This was learned today as the
President started drafting his
message on the failure Of the
European nations in general to
meet their American obligations.
HopeleSSneSS of bridging the
gap between what the European
nations might be willing to pay
and what might be acceptable to
Congress was said to be response
hle for the Presidents decision.
Based ON Capacity
However, one outstanding fea-
ture Of the Presidents message
may be a declaration that this
Government considers the Euro
pean nations should commence to
make payments more in line with
what is known to be their capacity
to pay.
II the debtors make substantial
payments on the $174,000, 900 due
June IS, it is considered possible
that this Government would re-
frain from calling attention to the
fact they were in default on the
unpaid balance.
An Holding Out
However, there are no definite
indications as yet that any OF
them, with the exception OF Fin
land, intend to do so.
Whether the President will rec
ommend approval for a reduction
In Finland'S $0,700,000 total debt
