WASHINGTON, Oct. 24-LR-
Use of the League of Nations as
the framework for international
cooperation to enforce future
peace was suggested today by
Senator Taft R-Ohio) on the eve
of Senate debate on a proposal
to pledge American participation
in a world authority with power
to prevent aggression.
Taft, a supporter of the Con-
nally peace preservation resolu-
ton, told a reporter he would pro-
pose in debate that the existing
machinery of the league and of
the world court be utilized to SIM
plify the task of organizing the
nations for collaboration after the
war ENDS.
while 1 realize that the Con-
nally resolution does nothing more
than enunciate the general prin-
ciples of foreign policy, l think
it might be well to discuss now
the machinery by which coopera-
ton could be carried out" the
Ohio senator said.
Il think We have got to go to
the point eventually of saying that
we are willing to abide by the
decision of an international tri-
bunal-on which we cannot have
a majority vote-in designating
* as an aggressor and joining
in stripping him of his tools of
aggression" he added.
While he did not commit him
self on Taft's suggestions, Chair
man Connally D-Tex) of the Sen.
ate Foreign Relations committee
said his resolution would leave
the road open to use of the league
machinery if the nations decide

He dresses with greatest
in the rough field uni
form of soldier except for a four
star insignia on the shoulders and
two ribbons on the left chest. One is
gold crown on a crimson field,
which signifies promotion for ex-
ceptional distinction in war. The
marshal wears seven of these rib
bons. The other is a blue ribbon
bearing silver and bronze stars of
valor and these he wears indicating
two such awards.
He also wears red ribbon with
gold medallion decoration of "Col-
lare Dell Annunziata" indicating
his being an honorary cousin of
the King.
He displays no others of his en-
ormous collection of awards.
He listened attentively to the in
terpreter's English version of his
prepared answers and then asked
gently whether we needed amplifi-
cation. Our additional questions
he answered promptly, clearly,
with every evidence of desire to
speak with fullest candor.
At no time was this more mani.
fest than when he explained al
some length his difficulty in deal
ing Immediately with certain large
policies of government. There is,
he went on, desire for certain lib.
eralizing acts, yet how could be
alone order them when this prop.
erly should be done only by action
of constitutional legislature
which does not and cannot yet
exist. Surely he must most care
fully avoid any action Of autocra,
tic except Gas in specific matters
of destroying the Fascist setup)
those on which there can be nc
reasonable doubt.
He spoke, too, with warmth Of
what Italy has suffered, clearly
with view of silencing sugges
tons that his country, having beer
defeated in war, hopes to escape
scot free. With great earnestness
he listed some of Italy's losses anc
reminded us that they are are not
yet over.
He stressed the point that Mus.
solini's breach of agreement and
attack on Greece were never sup
ported by the Italian people or
either military or moral grounds
and repeatedly mentioned Italy,
present desire to live at peace with
her neighbors. He pointed out thai
in conformity to the terms OF arm
istice Italy has already rendered
considerable aid to the Allies ape
now seems able to do more with
the resources at her command.
No one can talk with this pa
tently honest old soldier Withou
sympathy for him or without hope
that he will have both interna
strength and external support from
other Italian patriots to carry hin
and his unhappy country over the
long and difficult path which lies
ahead.
