BRITISH GIVE DUCE
PACT PROPOSALS
Aim Is to Make Effective
Promptly Settlement
of Differences.

ROME, Oct. 6.-Diplomatic sources
said today Great Britain had submit
ted proposals for an accord with Italy
In the fourth successive daily call by
Lord Perth, British Ambassador, on
rFereign Minister Count Galeazzo
Ciano.
Details of the plan to make effective
Immediately a settlement Of Anglo
italian differences were not ascer-
tanned.
Since the Anglo Italian Easter agree
ment was made conditional upon the
withdrawal of Italian forces from
Spain, it was believed the British gov
ernment might have proposed to Italy
to withdraw at least some of the in
fantrymen fighting for Insurgent
GeneraliSsimo Franco.
Premier MuSSolini was expected to
lay the British plan before the Fascist
grand council when it meets tonight.
Some political circles thought the
council might meet several days and
the announcement of the decision on
an Anglo-Italian agreement might fol-

Rumors have circulated for several
days that Italy was prepared to with
draw from the Spanish civil war some
infantrymen without reducing avia-
ton. artillery and other specialized
forces there.
Recognition Of Italy's Ethiopian
conquest, in line with the projected
French recognition of the Ethiopian
Empire, was expected in diplomatic
circles to be part of the plan.

DUCE'S PLANS MYSTERY.
Preparations for Withdrawal From
Spain Discounted.

ROME, Oct. 6 (5y Radio General
justification over Premier Benito
Mussolinis intentions vis-a-vis Spain
is deepening as conversations proceed
between British Ambassador Lord
Perth and Italian Foreign Minister
Count Galeazzo Ciano.
Reports that II Duce may be pre-
pairing something like a general with
drawal of his blackshirt troops from
the Spanish war are sharply dis
counted.
1t is reported that he may shortly
make what so long has been banded
in Anglo-Italian diplomatic talk-a
token Withdrawn of fraction, per-
haps 10000, of his blackshirt infan-
trymen. That would still leave the
great bulk of his interventionist army
in the Spanish arena and also his air
flames in the Balearics and the sky of
Spain. Moreover. the key question Of
Italian supply of munitions to rebel
Generalissimo Francisco Franco would
remain.
A new version OF the usual time
Worn Italian statement that "volun-
toers" will be completely withdrawn
when certain proper" conditions are
met is also widely forecast.
What effect the implementation of
the Spanish Republican offer to with
draw foreigners from the government
side would have upon Mussolini thus
remains a great question mark. Gen.
Francois statement, during the height
of the Czech crisis, that Burgos would
be neutral if European war broke out
has been cited by optimists as new
reason why Mussolini may feel fed
Up" with the Spanish venture. Never
theless, his own prestige, commit
ments, and ambition are so deeply
involved in rebel victory in Spain
that thoughtful circles here warn
against expecting rapid liquidation
of the Spanish struggle.
Rome, however, hopes that Great
Britain will place realistic interpre-
tation on Prime Minister Neville Cham
bsrlain's pledge not to implement the
Anglo Italian pact nor to recognize
the Italian conquest of Ethiopia before
settlement" in Spain. If something
can be done which can be made to
SOUND like a settlement without en-
barrassing Mussolini. the methods OF
Munich will have won another victory.
In Spain itself Black Shirt infantry
divisions, according to reports here,
have recently been inactive-but with
Italian aviation again dealing de-
struction over Spanish ports.

Good To Be Home

$500
Good To Be Home
This letter is written and mailed
from Wadena where I am spending
the day QMonday). The cold and
bracing snap we are having is a
pleasant change from the dampness
in Washington where head colds
and sinus trouble are as common as
rag weed along our highways.
When I left Washington last Tues
day afternoon the filibuster was on
in full blast in the Senate, but 1t
will probably come to an end ere
this letter appears in print, and the
anti-lynching bill laid aside as I'M
finished business. OF course, this
should have been done several
weeks ago.
Competitive Imports Gain
On the day of my departure from
Washington the Ways and Means
committee heard a very interesting
and well informed witness, DR..
Francis J. Clair. He had originally
been given ten minutes to present
his views on taxation but through
questioning by committee members
his talk consumed more than an
hour and became diverted to agri-
cultural imports. How 1 wish my
readers could have heard his lash
ing of the Hull foreign trade policy.
Naturally, 1 enjoyed it very much
because he said the things l have
been saying for many years, but
he did it in a very much better
way. DR.. Clair is recognized as one
! Of the greatest agricultural econ
! omists in the country and as such
his services are in much demand.
The one thing DIR. Clair stressed Is
that the home market belongs to
the home producer and that there
is enough domestic competition to
regulate prices so that they will not
become too high. He pointed out
that the huge importations of veg
etable oil is having serious effect
on American agriculture which is
reflected in constantly lowered
prices while prices of many COM
modities are increasing. He con-
n
tends that all oils and nearly all
animal fats are interchangeable sc
that the cotton farmer Of the South
is suffering along with the dairy
man and cattle and hog raiser. An
other point made by him that went
strong with me was his suggestion
that all trade treaties should he
confined to non-competitive pro-
ducts which would compel those ma
tions with which we have agree
ments to buy as much from us as
we buy from them. When we con.
slider the enormous quantities oi
coffee, tea, spices. rubber, silk, met
ais, etc., that we are obliged to buy
abroad it would seem that 1t should
