Duce Could Succeed
In Move for Peace,
Senator King Says
Declares Demand by
Powerful Bloc Would
Stop Hosti|ities
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator King, Democrat, of Utah
expressed the opinion yesterday that
If Benito Mussolini would assume
the leadership of peace movement,
he probably could end the European
war.
Senator King, a world traveller
and ardent student of international
affairs, added in an interview that
the Italian Premier, as the most
powerful European leader outside
the oelligerents. is probably the only
man who could lead a successful
peace move"
The Utah Senator said the war
would be halted if a powerful peace
bloc of European nations demanded
an end to hostilities.
"Mussolini could form a powerful
bloc" he continued, "by bringing in
the Balkan states, the Scandinavian
countries, Belgium, the Netherlands,
Switzerland and other nations that
want peace.
Has Perfect Excuse"
'Mussolini has it in his hands to
take leadership in world affairs. His
background indicates he may do
that"
The Senator said Germanys re-
cent friendship with Russia provided
Mussolini with "a perfect excuse
for withdrawing any aid or support
for Germany since "the history of
the Italian people demonstrates they
hate Communism and any associa-
ton with it."
Since Germany has taken Stain
as leader and the Comintern as
its supporter, then Italy-a Catholic
nation-can withdraw aid to Ger
many with great propriety," he said.
Says Russia Won't Fight.
Without italian support, Senator
King said. Germany would be in
circled by democratic nations or
those desiring peace, because Russia
will not fight"
The Senator asserted that the
Soviets hope to see both Germany
and the allies weakened through
long war because their economic
collapse would speed the world
wide drive for Bolshevism."
AS leader of powerful peace
blcc, Mussolini would be in a posi-
ton, Senator King added, ito de-
mand a fair readjustment of CO.
lonial, race, trade and other Euro
pean problems.

By War Biggest
Traders With u. s.
Licenses Issued for,
Exporting $4,000. 900
In Armuments

China and neutral countries men,
aced by the European war became
Americas biggest customers for war
supplies last month when licenses
were issued for the export of near
ly $10,000,000 of ornaments, a State
Department report disclosed today.
The report showed no licenses were
issued or arms exported to Great
Britain, France or Germany during
the month, as the embargo on such
shipments was in effect then. No
figures were released for November,
which is expected to show a big
jump in purchases by the British
and French following repeal of the
arms embargo.
Hull Issues Regulation.
Secretary OF State Hull issued,
meanwhile, supplement to regu-
lations under the cash-and- carry
section of the Neutrality Act requir-
ing that the shippers oath required
under the act must be filed with a
collector of the port before the arti-
cles concerned are exported. The
materials may be exported without
filling of oaths if the collector of GUS
toms is satisfied that the transfer
of right, title and interest has ac-
tually been made.
The arms report showed licenses
were issued for the export to China
of $3,823,915 worth of war ma
terials, including military airplanes
valued at $2,264945. This brought
the aggregate of licenses for ship
ments to China to $4,584,7 for the
year. Other large purchases of war
equipment, and the amount of Ii
censes issued for shipments to each,
included:
Turkey, S2,2O9,642; Sweden, S1.017,-
557; Finland, $848,900; Netherlands
Indies, s409,589; Brazil, s238,276, and
Venezuela, $220471. Airplanes and
aircraft engines and parts formed
the bulk of most of the shipments
authorized.
OCTOBER Exports Drop.
Most armaments for which export
licenses were issued last month were
to be shipped later, the report show
ing actual exports during october
dropped to s1,259,573. Exports for
the year through aggregated $7O,-
1923, ,139.
Despite the ban on shipment to
the European belligerents last month,
Great Britain and France remained
the biggest customers for the year.
The reports showed shipments for
the first 10 months of 1899 to Great
Britain aggregated S26,550,919, and
to France $17,982,844.
The aggregate of S9,274478 worth
of armaments covered in licenses
issued during the month was far
above the average for the year, the
report showing the licenses issued
during the first 10 months amounted
to S49,748,571. The latter figure
did not include the value of licenses
which had been revoked for ship
ments the European belligerent be-
cause of the arms embargo.

The increased rate at which Brit
1sh and neutral shipping has been
destroyed by mines in the last week
affords a parallel to the German
Navy's mine offensive of 1917 which
threatened Great Britain's sea life
lines by sinking ITO ships.
So successful was the 1917 mine
laying that during April the allies
lost mlnesweeper day attempting
to clear the shipping lanes.
~ Ships Sunk in Week.
BY comparison, the current out
break OF submarine and mine activ-
lty has sent 81 ships to the bottom
since last Saturday, raising to 153
vessels the losses of belligerent and
neutral nations so far in this war.
OF the total Britain has lost 80,
Germany Is, France 9 and neutral
nations 46. Forty-six ships have
been reported sunk this month, so
were destroyed in September and Al
in October.
AT least 2,033 persons have been
killed or drowned in the war at
sea and 100 more are missing.
Most Mines Laid After 1915.
Germany started her World War
mine campaign slowly by laying
small groups of mines in the Eng
l1sh Channel and off Britains Scapa
Flow and Firth of Forth naval bases.
Most OF the mines were laid by
specially constructed submarines
after 1915.
Similarly, nearly all the Nazi
mines being used in the present
conflict are believed to be placed by
submarines, although reports have
indicated airplanes also might be
doing some of the work.
The Kaiser's mine campaign Of
fered few serious threats to allied
commerce until 1917, although the
British cruiser Hampshire struck a
mine and sank while on a special
mission to Russia in 1916, carrying
Lord Kitchener, Secretary for War,

Intensified Mine War Parallels
Germonys Offensive in 1917
II Ships Sent to Bottom in Week, Raising
To 153 Total Sunk Since September ;

AS mine-laying technique i'm
proved Germany intensified her ac-
tivities and during 1917 sank more
ships by mines than had been
destroyed by this means up to the
end of 1916.
So inept were early allied at
tempts at mine-sweeping that for
every two mines destroyed a mine
sweeper was lost.
Improved apparatus brought this
down to one minesweeper for every
80 mines at the end of the war. BY
the end of 1917, the allies appeared
to have the mine situation under
control through the use of conveys
and the regular minesweeping of
shipping lanes.
Feared Innovation.
Because successful mine sweeping
tactics depended on knowledge of
German types, the allies were kept
constantly on edge by the fear Ger
many would develop some innova-
ton. This fear, however, did not
materiahze.
That the Germans may have
brought forth an innovation now
such as was feared during the World
War has been indicated by British
assertions the Nazis are sowing
magnetic mines" indiscriminately
in the shipping lanes.
Dyif fsel, .,ft
sowed 1886 mines during the World
War in all parts of the world. How
ever, this did not approach the total
placed by the allies. The United
States alone supplied 10000 mines
at cost of $40,0O0,00O for one huge
anti-submarine field in the North
Sea.

British Said 10 Feel
War Rules Supersede
Neutrality Act
lmmunizution Of Ship
From Seizure Held
Impossible
By the Associated Press.

-
Authoritative spokesmen said to-
day that Great Britain believed the
rules of war superseded the rules of
neutrality laid down in this country's
Neutrality Act.
British Embassy officials declared
it was impossible for any country,
by domestic legislation, to immunize
its shipping from seizure.
The neutrality law forbids Ameri-
can ships to enter designated COM
bat areas in Europe. American au-
thorities have expressed the opinion
this should entitle American ship
ping to special consideration from
belligerent contraband patrols.
A question now troubling some
officials is what position this country
would take If belligerent warship
stopped an American vessel and Or
dered it into port within combat
area.
The captain of the American ship
would be forbidden by domestic law
to enter such an area, and, theo-
iCI4SdiiF, SOuAO NC puil1ollCO II llc ulu.
1t generally was assumed that
this Government would not attempt
to punish the shipmaster in such
case, but it conceivably would take
up the matter with the belligerent
involved.
British Embassy authorities de-
clared the sole purpose of the con-
traband patrol was to keep goods
from reaching Germany. They de-
clared there was no thought of
seizing neutral shipments for Brit
aims own gain.
But they added that if an Amer
ican vessel were taken to a British
port under the rules of international
law they could not consider the fact
the vessel was violating the domes-
tic neutrality statute of the United
States.
Even if it were necessary to send
the vessel through a mine field, they
declared, the British would be justi-
fed in ordering it into port if it
were suspected of carrying contra
band

Navy Secrecy Policy
Costing Public Faith,
Editorial Charges
Army and Navy Journal
Says 1t Prompts Moves
To Probe Ship Flaws
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Army and Navy Journal says
in an editorial published today that
the Navys policy of secrecy" was
to blame for congressional proposals
for an inquiry into admitted defects
in II new destroyers.
The service periodical asserted
that suppression of information
about the destroyers had cost the
Navy both public confidence and
congressional support.
The Navy Department is dis
covering that it does not pay to OBJ
serve the tactics of the ostrich" the
Journal comments. ITO correct the
impression regarding the defects of
the new destroyers, it was forced to
ask the President to ridicule their
Importance, and it is now facing a
congressional investigation"
Acting Secretary of the Navy
Charles Edison told Senator VAN
denberg, Republican, of Michigan
recently in response to an inquiry
that several vessels were found to
lack desired stability, but that the
faults would be corrected. They
were II destroyers of the Anderson
class. Senator Wheeler, Democrat,
of Montana said subsequently he
would demand congressional
inquiry.
The Journal said there were othe-
instances of information being with
held 1t mentioned damage to the
battleship Arizona which Justice De-
partment agents decided might have
resulted from sabotage and the loss

"The fleet cannot be maintained
without public confidence, and the
only way in which that confidence
can be assured is through the belief
of the people that the facts regard
ing it, whether good or bad. are
supplied to them" the Journal said.
Had the truth been told instantly
about the occurrence on the Ari-
zona, the loss of the flyers, the de-
fects in the destroyers, it would have
been accepted as proof that the
Navy was on the job, and that there
was nothing to worry about. In
stead, each incident gave rise to
rumors and rumors to reports and
now the department is on the de-
fensive."
The Journal is a privately pub
lished periodical devoted to news
and articles about the armed serv-
ices.
