MUSSOLINI’S PLAN
FOR DISARMAMENT
[United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copy r igh t. ]
LONDON, Jan. 18
The “Daily Mail” gives prominence in a telegram from Geneva to the effect that Signor Graiulis, the Italian delegate, in his speech on Tuesday at the Xava.l Conference, may be as startling as Mr Hughes's .-peerli at Washington in 11)21, Signor Mussolini wants his delegate to announce his new startling proposals, which are that Italy is prepared, if t-lio other nations will follow suit, to scrap practically her entire fleet.
The Daily Mail says: The Government realises that any agreement made at the Naval Conference will leave Italy one of the weakest of naval powers. Accordingly complete naval disarmament is obviously to her advantage. The financial position of Italy makes Italian naval parity’ with France an idle dream.
Apart from his opening gesture, says the Daily Mail. Signor Grand: will ab’o offer support to any American demand for drastic reductions. Signor Mussolini considers that it is intolerable that the strong Naval Powers should be able to leave their weaker brother in a state of hopeless inferiority.
