(Continued from First Page.1 the last war as too horrible to be repeated. "Italy never will take the initiative in starting a war," 6aid the premier. "Italy needs peace.

Fas cism desires to secure for the Italian people, in cooperation with all other peoples of the world, a future of prosperity and peace." Signor Mussolini" has rarely de livered a speech with less belligerency in it when discussing for eign affairs. There is no doubt tha'the economic situation in Italy nas caused tne cnange in tone. Perhaps the most significant- paragraph in the premier's speech was the following: "Praise for United States. "We cannot conceive modern history without the United States. Had they not brought their formidable weight to bear on the situation moved mainly by idealistic motives the Hvar cannot recover from the post-war crisis.

Their help is necessary If prosperity is to re turn." The meaning of the foregoing Is that Italy looks to the United States to help her adjust her financial and economic problems. Large sums have already been loaned to comnaniesln Italy to American in vestors and there is talk of a huge loan for the Italian government. 9 CD EMPLOYE, DIES Sale ma a For Jleseafelder'A Sens For 51 Tears Taken St. Lake's Hospital.

Also, we understand that any adjustments or alterations that may be required In the substructure or superstructure of the bridge will be at the sole cost of the federal government, and that this company will be at no expense by reason of such changes, adjustments or alterations." Evincing an Interest in riparian rights of other property owners, as well as of municipal corporations, the statement set forth the following: "The plans show no provision for protection on the Illinois side of the river against the effects of the pocl which will be formed by the construction of this dam.

While provision is shown on the general plans for river walls on the Iowa side, the design, plans or specifications are not yet available and we are therefore unable to form any opinion on' the effect. If any. of construction of such walls in connection with this project. Urges Safeguards. believe that adequate provision should be made for the proper disposition of 'sewage and protection against seepage and overflow, especially in times of extreme high water; also that adequate provision should be made for protection against wave wash and the effects of Ice.

"We recommend 'that the walls be designed and constructed 1 so as to provide for adequate foundations and prevention of seepage, and that the walla be carried to an elevation over and above the requirements of maximum high water of record, with proper provision for wellhead and an allowance of at least three feet for freeboard." Plans for the river wall along the Davenport shore, as promulgated by Colonel George R. Spaulding of St. Louis, division engineer, at the public hearing conducted In Rock Island recently by the federal board, provide for a freeboard of only two feet. The railway's recommendations with respect to adequate provisions for sewage disposal are in support of Colonel Robertl. Randolph, consulting engineer representing Moline, and Mayor Chester Thompson's stand, taken at the public hearing, that Rock Island's water supply should be protected against pollution by sewage.

Count Volpi. Italian financial expert, has recently visited the United States and probably reported on the state of public opinion. Unless there is a more favorable impression of Italian foreign policies the flotation of a loan would naturally be difficult. Also the American government is very much interested in whether Signor Mussolini and Foreign Minister Briand of France can get together and straighten, out the differences Which prevented France and Italy from signing the -London naval treaty. I The signature of Italy to the naval past would probably have a nrofound effect here In confirm ing the friendly tenor of Signor" Mussolini's New Year's message.
