By Cable to The Star and Chicago Dally News. Copyright, 1921, ROME, Italy, October 15.—The an- nual congress of the Italian soci party has ended just where it began. Scores of speeches by comrades appeals by Clara Zelkin and.a Polish emissary of Lenin failed to persuade the Italians to throw themselves Into the arms of the bolshevist lead- er. At the same time, however, the party steadfastly refused to enter into the life of the Itallan nation and accept ~ political responsibility and power. The socialists are the strongest or- anized party in the country yet they iintend to remain outside the ‘national life and block legislation. Their po- sition is equivocal and theli aims ob- scure. The newspaper Tempo of Rome observes: “What did not die was the ideal of the moral and eco- nomic elevation of the industrial and nd | But of means for realizing these ideals no one at the socialist con- gress spoke.” The socialists left Milan as they left Leghorn a year ago united in ap- pearance, but divided at heart. Their future conduct, upon which so much of Italy’s fortune depends, remains dark. Attention now shifts to the con- gress of the clerical and popular varty soon to open In Venice. — COMES TO GENERAL STAFF. Col. Harold B.
