ITALY, YUGO SLAVIA GLARE ACROSS ADRIATIC SEA, BOTH STANDING READY FOR WAR Friction Between Two Nations Rises From Peace Settlement; King- Alexander Maintains Army of 116,000, Well Equipped. Tbi* la the fifth and final article he Richard D. McMillan, United Tress Start correspondent, on Why Doesn’t fcurnpe Disarm? BY RICHARD D. McMILLAN United Tress Start Correspondent BELGRADE, Jan. 20. —Across the 100-mile stretch of sea in the Adriatic. Italy and Yugo-Slavia glare at one another with hatred. Behind their borders, each nation is making munitions and training its soldiers—each thinking of a possible future war against the other. The friction between the two nations arises from the peace settlement. In 1015, when Italy came into the war, she received from France and Britain a promise made in a secret treaty to give a large section of the Dalmatian coast to the Italian government.

The war ended, President Wilson in Paris objected to the Italianization of Dalmatia, and, upholding his policy of the self-determina-tion of nationality, gave the Dalmatians the right to choose to become part of Y ugo-Slavia. The Yugo-Slav government maintains it has neither fear nor hatred for Italy, that it is ready to disarm as soon as the other nations disarm, but so long as Italy has its eyes on Yugo-Slav territory they must maintain armament. I ‘ltaly robbed us of Fiume,” the] Yugo-Slavs say. “Now, as they can not get Dalmatia, they wish to colonize along the Danubian valley —in other words to send emigrants into our territory, who will eventually annex that territory and make it Italian soil.” Finest of F.quipment I saw a short time ago a review before King Alexander of the new Yugo-Slav army 116,000 strong. No finer fighting force exists in Europe today. They marched with the precision of the old Prussian guards. And they have the finest of war equipment. An army of 116 000 is very large for a country of only 12,000,000 people, but King Alexander, who rules his country as a virtual dictator, feels that this is no more than necessary to insure protection in the present state of Europe. Italy has 250,000 men under arms and could put 2,500,000 men into action in a very short time. Having come from Italy to Belgrade, I had ample opportunity to hear the Italian point of view exposed. Bitter Over War Spoils “Italy has been bitter since the division of the war spoils,” I was told by friends of Mussolini, the Italian premier. “We feel we were double-crossed. Not only did we not get Dalmatia, which had been promised us, but we are unable to get an extra acre of land in North Africa in which to colonize. With a vastly growing population and the ever-increasing necessity of colonial expansion, we find ourselves hemmed in.” "Italy therefore has switched her sympathies with the former allies to Germany, believing that by cooperation she can drive the best bargain in future political developments. Yugo-Slavia views wtih alarm the possibility of an Italo-German Danubian confederation scheme, which would be a dagger at the throat of Yugo-Slavian national life. Italy, too, has made overtures to King Zogu. the Albanian ruler, aiming at a pact which would give Italy control of the entry to the Adriatic sea. Chain of Armed Nations These are the varied conflicting national aspirations which the disarmament conference must consider before any accord on reduction of armaments is possible. The apologists for the league ask for patience, maintaining that slow and effective progress is better than speedy, unenduring decisions. The critics maintain that the Geneva institution is wasting its time, and that Europe never will find a formula which will satisfy

WATERWAY TREATY ON SHELF UNTIL MARCH 4 Roosevelt Orders Action Held Over j Until He Becomes President. Hi/ Seripps-Haward Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—The St. j Lawrence treaty definitely is "on | the shelf” until after March 4. Senator Borah intends to press j for action by the senate foreign re- ! lations committee, hoping thereby to avoid hearings later, and pave j the way for a vote in the senate when Democratic leadership decides it is ready for a "showdown” on ratification. After a conference at Hyde Park several days ago. Senator Thomas j Walsh (Dem., Mont.), returned to j Washington and told his colleagues: “I believe Governor Roosevelt favors ratification of the treaty, but I prefers that action be delayed until j he enters the White House so that j the credit can go to his administra- j tion.” Democratic senators thereupon served notice on Republican pro- | ponents of the treaty that they j must let the question of ratification ! “go over until after the fourth of j March.” URGE AID FOR FARMS ( Fair Prices Are Needed, Says Reso- j lution Sent to Congressmen.
