LEGAL FIGHT PLANNED Plans Completed By American Syndicate for Possession of Frederic's Estate ——— By Webb Miller (United Press Staft Correspondent) Paris, Nov. 25.—The plans are completed by a thirty-million' dollar American syndicate for one of tl)e biggest international legal battles in history for the possession of the vast estates of the’ Archduke Frederic of Austria, ex-commander of the Aus- tro-Hungarian armies during the war. The first move is an atack upon: the interpretations by three Central-Eu- ropeéan countries of the treaties of peace. A charge is to be lodged be- fore the tribunals established by the treaties accusing the governments of Czecho-Slovakia, Yugo-Slavia and Austrin of flatly violating the pro- visions of the treaties by confiscating the archduke’s estates. The American syndicate which has acquired rights to the administration ol the properties includes Charles H. Sabin, J. Leonard Replogle, Frank A. Munsey, Thomas J. Felder, William A. Honnard and Louis Chevrillon.

' It was’ Nitti alone of all the Italian statesmen who far back in the war saw that the political effects of the latter in Italy [’ were going to be the most extraor- dinary development as political ‘ele- ments of socialism and clericalism: Nitti has already ascended to power by effecting ‘this ' combination and every fresh day of Italian political life ‘indicates it will be the combina- tion ‘on which he and other Italian premiers will have to base their sup- port for a good many years to-come. Hence Meda’s position. on the ‘Washington delegation 'is one of exs treme importan¢e. This has suddenly become doubly so by the decision of the I.alian popular' party to throw its whole weight and influence in- fa- vor of the League of Nations. Back of this decision politiciang profess to see the hand of His Holiness and the first'step toward possible entrance of the Holy See into the League of Nations.
