Peace Plan Rejected By Italy, MussoHni
Definite Anglo-French Concessions to Italy Whereby Two Great Powers Hoped to Avert War-Iext
 of Reply Made as Italy Refused
K. M. FRASER Copyright, 1885, by United Press)

Copyright, 1885, by United Press)
 Geneva, Sept. 21-(UP)-The League of Nations peace plan which Premier Benito Mussolini rejected, included definite Anglo French concessions to Italy where by the two great powers hoped to avert the threatened war with Ethiopia, the United Press learned today from a study of the jealously guarded text of the plan.
 Plan for Peace
 The plan Is as follows:
 First, 1t opens with general ob- servations on the various Italian and Ethiopian contentious and as- sertions in regard to the dispute and the rights involved therein.
 Secondly. 1t offers a "charter of assistance" for Ethiopia.
 Thirdly 1t outlines Franco Brit ish protocols whereby the two na- tons offer to make concessions to facilitate settlement of the dispute.
 The first of the Anglo French protocols aims to facilitate the ced- ing of Ethiopian territory to Italy by granting Ethiopia an outlet to the sea.

that private interests should CO.
operate in a campaign to rehabili-
tate and improve personal prop

improvements under way, Mr..
Nolan said, include development
of the Mall to be completed this
year, development of extensive
industrial interests at Buzzards
Point, the Agriculture Depart

improvements to come, he said,
include the development of the
Washington channel, and water
front, and widening of Water

bridge connecting the Southwest

ment of the Hoover and Cardoza

During the business session, the
association adopted report by
Harry S. Wender, which charac-
terized the Hoover playground, the
only white playground in the
Southwest, as perhaps the most
disgraceful center in the CITY,"
and woefully lacking in all kinds
of equipment. The report recon-
mended the addition of a swim

Velopment of a playground on the
proposed jefferson High School
site, Seventh and H Streets South

Approval was voted a bill to

 COlOrful Parade Precedes Program

American cities.
 Native sons of Poland came to Waterbury to find bond of friendship extending between their native country and America that has remained unbroken down through the years since the days of '78. The American constitution they found appealed to them be- cause of its fairness to the peo- pie.
 The immigrants made thenn- selves to home, some entering business while others found em- ployment in the many industries. Soon, the number of immigrants was increased to proportions large enough to form societies and fin the early part of 1912 1t was de- cided by the Polish residents that they should have church of their own. They had been attending churches in their own neighbor- hoods.
 Church Erected
 On July z, 1912, St. Stanislaus church was organized, it's incor- poration taking place in February of 1913. At first, services were held in the basement. but as the members increased in numbers, the church began to flourish and soon was able to complete the church structure. To-day 1t is among the prettiest churches in the city.
 Last Saturday, there was dedicat- ed Polish house at Settlers Vil- lage in memory of Waterbury'H first Polish settler, M. Julius Brzezinski, who brought credit not only to himself but to his race for his outstanding characteristics. He was a personal friend of Mayor Frank Hayes who was one of tho principal speakers at the dedica- tory exercises at the Village.
 Approximately 1000 members of local Polish societies and de1ega- tions from various parts of the state marched in the parade which preceded the program at the Vil- lage. Mass was celebrated at St. Stanislaus church in the morning before the parade started. Judge Stanley Traceski of New Britain, one of the foremost barristers of state and outstanding Polish resi- dent of the Hardware City, was the main speaker at the exercises.
 Exile Arrives
 Mir. Brzezinsisi was exiled from Poland by the Russians following the insurrection in 1863. He was then q student at St. Petersburg university. He came to Waterbury in 1869 and two years later was married. Two children resulted from the marriage. About 1880 Polish people started to come to Waterbury and Brezezinski as- stunned q moral influence upon them. He aided them in securing employment, acted as advisor, solved their problems and served as their interpreter for which ha gained deep respect and recogni- ton not only from those of his
