ITALY’S TREATY REVISION MOVE IS SIGNIFICANT Alignment With Defeated Powers May Result in New Grouping. Thii It th fifth of Webb Miller'* r---on FascMm and Italy. BY WEBB MILLER United Frets Staff Correspondent ROME, Feb. 7.—Definite alignment of Italy beside the powers defeated In the World war in favor of revision of the Treaty of Versailles *nd other post-war treaties Is the most significant movement of Italian foreign policy since the war. In the last few weeks Mussolini repeatedly has enunciated Italy's demand for revision of treaties. Among the most momentous of til* possibilities arising from Mussolini’s action is a diplomatic regroupment of powers which are discontented with the settlement made by the treaties—Germany, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria. Turkey and Russia—into some form for concerted diplomatic action to coun-ter-balance the group of nations vitally interested in maintaining the treaties intact. This includes primarily France and her little entente, comprising Cze-cho-Slovakia, Yugoslavia and Poland. England likewise would be concerned. “Naval Truce” Ended Other recent developments In Italian foreign and economic policies which are attracting attention of European diplomats are: Lapse of the temporary ‘‘naval truce” between France and Italy tvhich will mean commencement of their naval programs unless an agreement intervenes. Intensification of economic relations with Russia. Declaration of Mussolini that Italy must turn eastward for her economic expansion. Increasingly friendly gesture to Germany and Hungary and growing commercial relations with Germany. Tire surprising extent and depth of popular resentment against France is one of the outstanding impressions an observer receives in Italy. Grievances Numerous Among the grievances and irrif ations mentioned were: That France helped arm and diplomatically supports Yugoslavia, Italy’s hostile neighbor. That France and the other allies cheated Italy out of her rightful compensation in territory for her war sacrifices. That Smyrna and part of Anatolia were promised to Italy in writing during the war but given to Greece. That France and England grabbed all the desirable Turkish possessions in Asia Minor and gave. Italy, who needed colonies, nothing. That France and the other allies restricted Italy's territorial expansion at the head of the Adriatic in favor of Yugoslavia. That France wants to be mistress of the Mediterranean. Other more recent grievances were: That France permits anti-Fascist Italian political emigres to hatch plots in France. Expansion Necessary The French press has assailed and belittled Italy and been anti-Fascist. France takes every means to wean the hundreds of thousands of Italian immigrants from their nationality. That France tries to force French citizenship upon Italians in Tunisia, get rid of Italian schools and Institutions altogether. There also is much suspicion and irritation with Yugoslavia for a variety of reasons. When asked what Italy wanted in any revision of treaties a prominent Italian, said: “Colonies. Territorial expansion. In 1941 there will be 47,000.000 Italians—about =>,000.000 more than there are now. We must have somewhere to expand.” NEXT: Miller tells of Mussolini’s plans for gigantic military display on Fascism’s tenth anniversary.

By SEA Service COVINGTON, Ky., Feb. 7.—An airplane built here by Edward H. Lanier has three wings, the function of the third wing being similar to that of a parachute,* in that it is said to permit a more vertical drop and a slower landing speed. Lanier’s plane already has undergone more than fifty test flights by four pilots. These aviators say the plane literally drops from the sky in much the same manner as an elevator under control, coming to a complete stop after a roll of only twenty feet. Thus the idea is advanced that the plane can be landed in a backyard or on top of an ordinary flattopped building. The third wing is constructed over the top of the fuselage. The main wings are separated from the fuselage by a gap of twenty inches on each side, thereby permitting direct currents of air to reach the high lift cell, as the third wing is termed technically, vertically, horizontally or in any direction in which the plane is moving. The plane has a normal flying speed of 60 to 70 miles an hour, and requires a run of about 100 feet before taknig off. Pilots who have flown the ship believe it is similar to the autogyro in its handling, and that it is a forward step in the solution of the problem of landing in a small space. The plane now weighs 1,400 pounds, but this is heavier than a plane of its class should be. It is expected that when the plane gets into production this weight will be cut to about 875 pounds.

DEATH, DISEASE DECREASE SETS YEAR'S RECORD Statistics Show That 1930 Brought Healthy Condition to People. Bo Science Service NEW YORK. Feb. 7.-Heaith workers are now wondering whether the,health record for 1931 can be made to equal or better that of 1930. In spite of business depression and unemployment. 1930 was the healthiest year this country ever enjoyed, according to statistical reports of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, just issued. The company's reports refer particularly to the Industrial wage-earning population of the United States and Canada. Notable reductions in the death rate, for tuberculosis, typhoid fever, the principal diseases of childhood, and pneumonia were found. The number of deaths from tuberculosis, diphtheria, and diseases of pregnancy and childbirth reached new low points. Suicides increased markedly, but this death rate was lower than previous high figures recorded in the period from 1911 to 1916. The cancer death rate increased very slightly. Deaths from accidents were fewer during 1930 than in the previous year. This includes automobile fatalities which for the first time in twenty years showed a decline in the company’s reports. However, the drop was so small as to be considered of slight significance by statisticians of the company. The United States bureau of census has just reported an increase of 2 per cent in automobile fatalities throughout the country for the period from Jan. 25, 1930. to Jan 24, 1931.
