ITALY’S REPRESENTATIVE TELLS
LEAGUE OF NATIONS TO HANDS
OFF IN ITS AFFAIR WITH GREECE
INTERVENTION BY
LEAGUE WOULD BE
UNJUSTIFIED, SAYS
Signor Salandra Wants Entire
Dispute to Go to House
of Ambassadors
GREECE, HE SAYS, TRYING
ESCAPE RESPONSIBILITY
Lord Cecil, of England, Added to
Sensation by Declaring Arti¬
cles 10, 12 and 15 of League
Covenant be Read in English.
Geneva, Sept. 5.—Italy’s rep¬
resentative, Signor Salandra, told
the council of the League of Na¬
tions that Italy would regard in¬
tervention of the League in the
Greco-Italian crisis as unjustified
The League of Nations, he as¬
serted, had no reason to inter¬
fere in the dispute which, he
stated, belongs properly to the
Inter-allied Council of Ambas¬
sadors. Senor Salandra further
stated that Greece was trying to
evade the responsibility bv ap¬
pealing to the League of Nations.
He pointed out that several gov¬
ernments had not as yet recog¬
nized the Greek government.
The statement of Signor Salan
/ dra created a sensation and the
' sensation added by Lord
was to
Robert Cecil of England, by in¬
sisting that articles ten, twelve
ami fifteen of the League of Na¬
tions covenant be read in English
and French and declaring that if
they disregarded the League the
whole settlement of Europe will
be shaken.
The articles named by Lord Ce¬
cil stipulate the clear right of the
League to investigate when there |
is danger of a rupture between
two pations members of the I
i, League.
; Further discussions have been
; postponed until probably tomor¬
row. In the meantime the state¬
ment of the Italian representative
I has created quite a furor in polit¬
ical circles.
MUSSOLINI WILL NOT
RECEDE FROM STAND
(By Associated Press:)
■Riime, Sept. 4.—In an energetic
Statement before his council of min
isters today. Premier Mussolini fur¬
ther emphasized bis determination not
-jo recede from his stand in the con- j
flict with Greece. He was firmly de¬
cided rather to withdraw from the
League of Nations than to allow what
he considered illegal interference in j
Italy’s right to protect her honor, dig¬
nity and the nives of her subjects and
to claim adequate reparation when
she had been so terribly outraged.
The premier in equally strong
words stigmatized the attitude of
British newspapers—which had ad¬
versely criticized his stand in the con¬
troversy. •
i “Tlie threat of a fresh war is mere¬
ly a bogey intended to impress public
opinion,” said the premier. “Sine?
and ^either Italy Greece nor Jugo-Slavia can
does not intend to make war
the bog-ey vanishes in (bin air. It is
true reports,say Albanian troops with
cannon and machine guns are massed
at the Greek frontier,, fearing com¬
plications; but such movements, more
or less by regular troops, constantly
«jre occurring in that* region.’’

’PRESIDENT TO
CONTINUE POLICY
OF PREDECESSOR
HARDING’S INTEREST IN AT¬
LANTA FEDERAL PRISON
BE MAINTAINED
(By Associated Press.)
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 5.—The adminis¬
tration of the late President Harding
marked “an era of progress” at the
Federal Penitentiary — Atlanta’s
‘‘Walled City”—and under President
Coolidge the same policy is expected
to he continued, according to Good
Words, a newspaper published at the
institution.
“The strides made during the past
two and a half years have been epoch¬
al, at least in Atlanta, and deseive
particular commendation,” it is stated.
“Strenuous endeavors have been
made to remedy many things. The
problem is too great, however, to jus¬
tify weighing- one man in the balance
and judging by what remains to be
accomplished. Without a deep sense
of Christian charity and good will
nothing at all can he accomplished.
“Here is the problem.;
“A large number of men from all
strata of society live here in close
confinement. Some are educated, oth¬
ers barely read and write; many are
! illiterate. Here a feeble intellect,

erage intelligence; a large number
with a false philosophy of life; some
