‘WORLD POWERS MUST DISARM,' SAYS MUSSOLINI U. S. Presence at Parley Guarantee of Success, He Asserts. BY ROBERT J. BENDER General News Msnarer. United Press (Copyright. 1931. By United Press) ROME, July 15.—“ The presence of the United States of America at the disarmament conference in 1932 is the mast formidable guarantee of its success,” Premier Benito Mussolini said today. “I do not think Mr. Hoover's moratorium proposals are the final solution of the world's economic problems. They are the first step. “Without the United States," Mussolini said earnestly, "the disarmament conference would be a failure—just as so many other conferences have been failures on this side of the Atlantic.” “The United States,” he continued, “is the most powerful country in the world. Its influence is bound to tell. -JThe decision to be represented and to take an active part in the proceedings is the greatest concrete step disarmament has had. Can Put It Over “America can put it over by pounding with hammer blows until disarmament is an accomplished fact. "This has got to be.” There is no other road if western civilization is to live,” he said, "as we stand before 1932 we are facing a great uncertainty. On our decision depends the future of the world. If we decide for peace we will have saved humanity. If we decide for war we will plunge the world into chaotic disaster.” Mussolini then pointed to what he regarded as the fruits to be gained through a successful disarmament conference at Geneva. Insures Long Peace “The great powers,” he said, “can get relief in disarmament. It is the one place where budgets can be sliced without affecting the welfare and happiness of a nation, it being generally understood that all disarm at the same time. "If only from an economic viewpoint, disarming is a pressing necessity, and since the average nation spends about one-fourth of its revenue on its military establishment, the value of lightening the burden is evident. “Not secondary to the immediate economic saving is the guarantee disarmament will mean for a long period of peace. Unrest and stagnation followed the war and morale is low. The world is craving a sustained peace. The re-establishment of the normal flow of commerce and the resumption of industry make peace an essential part of the world program.” Despair Is Looming At this point, Premier Mussolini leaned across the table. “Do not minimize the situation. “Resumption must take place because another winter of hardship and misery will plunge Europe into despair. . “Do not forget that where there Is dire distress there you find the way open for the germs of Bolshevism. In distressing times it is a real danger. “There are in Germany today over 6,000,000 persons unemployed and if that number increases next winter we should be face to face with Communism. Bear in mind that in the last elections the German Communist party polled over 6,000,000 votes, and upon distress and suffering the Bolshevist germ is best fed.” The Duce rose from his chair. “We now are at the parting of the ways for modern civilization,” he said. “This is the last stand. Upon our decision rests the life or death of our great inheritance.”

FALL LIKELY TO SERVE TERM IN JAILJOSPITAL Former Interior Secretary Expected to Enter Prison Soon. By United Press SANTA FE, N. M., July 15. When Albert B. Fall, once one of the most powerful political figures in the nation, enters state prison here as a convict, he probably will be assigned to the new penitentiary hospital, it was believed today. Under conviction of accepting a bribe in connection with the Teapot Dome oil scandal when he was a member of the late President Harding’s cabinet, Fall is expected to arrive here soon to start serving his sentence of a year and a day. Warden Ed Swope declined today to comment on whether Fall will be assigned any duties, but it generally is believed that due to the aged politician’s physical condition he will be given a hospital room. The decision in Washington that Fall might serve his prison sentence here instead of in the capital, where he was sentenced, was considered

Doggy Trick By United Press NEW YORK. July 15. Fifteen-months-old Joseph Frey owes his life today to his mongrel puppy. Joseph, playing on the second-floor balcony of his parents’ Staten Island home, fell twenty feet to the ground—but landed on top of the puppy. Neither baby nor dog was hurt seriously.

in his favor as it had been feared that his transfer to a different climate—might prove fatal after his long illness. The hospital rooms are light and airy and compare favorably with a hotel room. Should his condition require it, he may receive treatment from physicians other than the prison doctors, but he will have to bear the expense. Fall will not be obliged to eat prison food unless he wishes, but if he wants a special diet will have to pay for it. FIND WHISKY IN AUTO Police Alert for Stolen Cars Make Five-Gallon Seizure.
