-(UP)-Ten European nations,

measures" against Italy, last night
pooled their navies for q gigantic
war on pirate submarines in the
Mediterranean.
Italy, despite her boycott of
yesterdays conference In this
little Lake Geneva town, will be
invited to take over one OF the
"piracy" zones and aid in hunting
down phantom U-boats which Rus
STA alleges are Italian.
British delegates said that IL
Italy refuses to pool her navy the
Italian zone will be taken over
by the French and British fleets
which will rely principally upon
destroyers to cope with the SUBJ

The complete "war plan" was
expected to be worked out by to-

Will Boycott Any Subma.
rine Program; May Quit
Non Interventionists

ROME, Sept. IL. (UP)-Italy
will not only boycott any Medi-
terranean submarine patrol plan
which the powers may adopt but
will consider boycotting the COM
mittee on non-intervention in the
Spanish civil war if the plan does
not suit her, it was said today by
reliable sources.
Premier Benito Mussolini's own
newspaper, the Popolo D'ltalia OF
Milan, announced earlier today
that Italy refuses to join the in
ternational "war" on submarine
terrorism in the Mediterranean.
The newspaper announced, In
an editorial believed to have been
written by II Duce, that Italy car
not participate in any formula FOL
Mediterranean security which en-
anates from the Nyon, Switzer'
land, conference where Russian
delegates are sitting. .
II Popolo interrupted the angry

italian solidarity with the
Franco British proposals regard
ing the Mediterranean conference

Soviet diplomatic aggression" the
newspaper said.
Informed Fascist leaders sale
there was mot the slightest hope
of Italy accepting the piracy

plays a part in its formulation.
"Italy's main object today is te
keep Soviet Russia out Of the
Mediterranean" one Fascist said
He pointed out that II Duce ir
his recent Palermo, Sicily, speech
said Italy would fight to keeI
Russia out.
Italy's refusal to join in patrol
ling a 100-mile strip of sea be
tween Sicily and the North Afri'
can coast, thereby giving her sub
marines continued freedom in the
Mediterranean. carried the grave
danger of incidents"
France and Britain, it was un'
derstood, have agreed to assign
their warships to the Italian zone
in event of Mussolini's refusal.
Diplomats said that, without
Italian participation, the pooling
of the 10 navies would have little
effect because Italian submarines
would reserve the right to roam
at will in and out Of the piracy
zones" established at Nyon.
Fascist officials, answering Rus
sia's new threat to take direct ae-
tion against Italy in the Mediter-
ranearl, warned Moscow that any
attempted. Russian reprisals would
be dealt with as an act OF war.

SESSION FOR

Bumper Crops and Low

From Congressman
SCRAP IRON EXPORTS
TO BE INVESTIGATED

WASHINGTON, Sept. II. -
(UP) = Predictions of bumper
crops and low prices for corn and
cotton today had strengthened
the possibility that southern and
western congressional groups may
attempt to force a special session
of congress to consider surplus
crop control legislation.
: Drought in the midwestern
states will reduce the potential
1897 corn crop to 2,549,281 900
bushels, drop of 100,000,000
bushels below estimates of a
month ago but still 100000
600 bushels in excess of the dis
astrous yield of 1886, the agri-
culture department forecast.
The reduced corn crop pros
poets and reports that other ba-
sic crops will not exceed earlier
estimates indicated last night
that President Roosevelt might be
able to restrict price sterilization
loans to growers of the 1887
bumper cotton crop.
Shortly before the corn esti-
mates were made public, the
American Farm Bureau Fedora
toms directors meeting in Chica-
go demanded sterilization of
farm product prices at rs per
cent of parity, pending congress:
sional enactment Of crop control
legislation. The directors demand
ed that Mr.. Roosevelt and Secre-
tary of Agriculture Henry A.
Wallace stabilize the prices thru
"loans or other appropriate
means"
