TINI IS BRILLIANT EDITOR D POWER IN ITALIAN POLITICS ator Here for Arms Sessidn Led War Party at Home—Now Anxious for Worl power of the press was exem- when Senator Luigl Albertini w gnated to serve as one of the fouF ' Italian delegates to the ap+ progching conference here on limita- tion of armament and far eastern questions. Senator Albertini is editor- in-clifet and principal proprietor of the ;largest and most influential daily mewspaper in his native kingdom, the Corfiere della Sera, published in Milan. The distinguished journalist reach- ed Washington last night with the large delegation representing sev- eral countries, which crossed the ocean on the Olympic. He is at the Hotel Washington, which will be the official headquarters of the Italian delegation. . Senator Albertigi has been a news- - paper man for a quarter of a cen- tury. This is his first visit to Amer- ica. So pressing were his duties dur- ing the world war and during the ‘Various negotiations since then that he could not get away.

His position, due to his| Dpoliticai record of the last few years, | is a p-culiar one. On the one hand he wi one of the chief promoters of ; Italian participation in the war, whilg on th- other, with Italy thoroughly: victoricus, he was antagonistic to those elements, actuated by the idea of “to the victors belong the spoils.” He strongly favored a peace of com- - promise and an amicable understand- [TALY READYTOGUT NAVY T0 MINIMUM Would Reduce Mediterranean Fleet to One Ship by Agree- ment, View Held. The first day of that portion of the Italian delegation to the arms limi- tation and far eastern problems con- ference that has reached Washington was a busy one. The party reached the city near midnight Tuesday and ‘went to the Hotel Washington, with the exception of Ambassador Riccl, who is at Wardman Park Hotel. Bright and early yesterday the dele- gates and their assistants were be- stirring themsWlves, making arrange- ments for the establishment of the official headquarters of the delegation in the hotel, receiving callers and getting their personal effects settled. One reason they came nearly two weeks ahead was to get acquainted with their surroundings and “learn the ropes.” Although a number of : representatives of the Italian govern- ment are yet to arrive, three out of four of the delegates are now in ‘Washington, including the president ; of the declegation, His Excellency | Signor Senator Carlo Schanzer, for- mer minister of the treasury. His Excellency Senator Albertini 1s also here, and so is Ambassador Rolandi Ricel. Signor Meda, the fourth dele- gate, will arrive later. - Notables in Party. Marquis Visconti Venosta, general secretary of the delegation, is here, as is Count Pagliano, coumselor to the Italian embassy at Madrid; Lieut. Giovanni Bosio of the Italian army, private secretary to the president of the delegation: Signor Leonardo Al- bertini, son and private secretary of Senator Albertini, and a considerable retarial and clerical staff. ose familiar with Italy’'s views on , armament limitation and her own poli- % cy. already In successful operation, of armament reductions realize that the Italian delegates come here with high hopes of the success of the conference, and in a constructively helpfal spirit. They wear an air of optimism which might best be characterized by the American term “pep.” The spirit actu- ating Italy, and apparent in the bear- ing of her delegates, is that that king- dom, with four vears of bloody and costly warfare fresh in mind, is pre- pared to go as far as any one in the tter of d 'mament. Paradoxically, 'she herself ha-n't so to go because, since ‘he cessation of hostilities and the disintegration of her principal enemy, she has reduced her army to the mini- mum commensurat: with the safety of Tea'm Ready to Reduce Ships. As for naval armament, it is stated authoritatively that Italians are pre- pared to do the same and would be willing, for instance, provided the nec- essary agreement couid be reached, to reduce their Mediterranean fleet down to a single ship. Confidence that the arms conference ‘would ‘“reach a substantial conclusion” ‘was expressed in a atatement by Sena- tor Carlo Schanzer, president of the Itallan delegation. Italy, he sald, ‘would “never hesitate to give all her support to any proposal which may eu.zlngte future conflicts and assure e. “Italy s anticipating with the great- est interest,” Senator Schanzer con- l, “the work of the Washington conference and wishes that its great “Washington—The Most Livadle City én America® HERE 1S A FAS- CINATION about .

Both of these stands made him many stanch friends and, at thg same time, many bitter enemies. e Opposed by Pro-Germnans. Itallan senators are appointed by the crown and their names are con- firmed by their future colleagues. The appointment of Signor Albertini, known advocate of Italian participa- tion in the war, gave the impression that the government felt impelled to enter the conflict, which impression proved correct. Naturally his ap- poihtment was gpposed by the pro German element and also by the neu- tralists. The opposing forces were led by a senator who was a brother- in-law of Prince von Buelow. The fight was a stiff one, but Albertini ‘won and became a tower of strength to the war party. Senator Albertini next became an uctlve firomoter of the congress held in Rome between the various groups fof natiohalists who had theretofore been under Austrian rule, such as the Czechoslavs and Jugoslavs. These wanted the dissolution of the Austrc- Hungarian empire and consequent treedom for themselves. He was a strong proponent of an amicable agreement between Italy and the Ju- goslavs ,and_labored successfully on behalf of the Rapallo treaty, which defined the frontier between Italy and Its new neighbor. Anxious for World Peace. As hard as he had worked for the war, he worked just as hard for a reasonable peage, a peace based on the policy of huinan sympathy, which is the inspiratien of the conference to which his king has accredited him as a delegate. Var, it now is appar- ent, was with him but a means to an end. Even those who have called him “utopian”—and the yare many— admit that he Is essentially practical. His presence here as one of, the four delegates of his country proclaims the correctness of their estimate. Senator Albertini is a man of about fifty and bears the marks which dis- tingulsh an alert executive the world over. His English is fluent. His in- terest in the I'nited States seems sec- ond only to his interest in the ap- proaching conference. \ At least ome other editor is in- cluded amongthe lists of principal delegates. He'ls M.

LONDON, November 2.—A discussion of the Washington conference on lim- itation of armament and far eastern problems will take place in the house of commons next Friday in connection with & resolution presented by the la- bor members, “warmly approving of the conference,” Austen Chamberiain, government leader, announced today. Sir Francis William Lowe, unionist member from Birmingham, protested against such a discussion at this time because of the adverse affect it might have in America and other countries. Mr. Chamberlain replied that this point had been given most serious consideration. DIVERS T0.EXPLORE BOAT.

The prominence of the offices held by some of the participants in the welcome extended to a portion ef the Japanese delegation to the arma~ ment and far eastern problems cem- ference yesterday afternoon made the ceremony an impressive one. But the still more important positions that the two most distinguished actors might today be occupying but fee fate or “luck,” made the occasion pare ticularly noteworthy. When the first of the big fleet of ‘War Department automobiies rolled away from the station it contained Secretary of State Hughes, who miss- ed the presidency of the United States by am eyelash, and Prince Iyesato Tokugawa, chalrman of the delega- tion, who, but for the imperial revo lution of¥1868, would today be Sho- gun of Japan, with despotic powers. Both statesmen, however, have at- tained consolatory eminence. Prince Tokugawa is president of the Japa- nese house of peers, while Mr. Hughes has been a justice of the Supreme Court and is Secrctary of State. This was the first armament delegation to be welcomed by him in person. Mr. Demby Greeta Kato. Scarcely less impressive was the re- ception of Admiral Tomosaburo Kato, secretary of the imperial Japanese navy, for Secretary of the Navy Denby, Assistant Secretary Roosevelt and Maj. Gen. Wendell C. Neville, as- isistant_ to, the commandant, United States Marine Corps, were on hand to greet him. Secretary Hughes was accompanied by Robert Woods Bliss, third assist- ant secretary of state; Richard South- gate and several other department officlals, while a group of distinguish ed military and naval officers were also in attendance, the latter impres sive in the full dress uniforms and gold-laced cocked hats, recently re- vived by Secretary Denby. The delegation, which was of con- siderable size, was received in the presidential suite, over the portal of which hung the banners of the UniteC States and Japan.

On emerging from the southeast portal the big band of the Army Music School, Washington barracks struck up “Kimigayo,” the Japanes« national anthem. This was followed by “The Star Spangled Banner.” The dolegates in the order of rank, eact accompanied by a military or nava aide or by a State Department official embarked in official cars and, pre- ceded by a squadron of cavalry from Fort Myer, went direct to the resi- dences and .quarters reserved for. them. Just after the completion of the na- tional anthems the distinguished group stood for a few minutes for the benefit of a battery. of cameras. Officials of the Japanese embassy here, headed by Ambassador Shide- hara, were present, those in_ service being dressed in_uniform, while the interested crowd contained more Japanese than one would think re: sided here. The more than a dozen members of the party who came in ad- dition to the delegates included Mat- sanao Hanihara, formerly counselor and charge d'affaires of embassy here, whose smiling face gave-evidence of his pleasure at once more being in Washington.

In discussing, just before arriving at Washington, the question of China, Dr. Kiroku Hayashi, general ceun- cilor to the Japanese ministry ef fer- eign affairs and chief adviser to the conference delegation, sald: “He would be bold, Indeed, who would venture to offer a solution of! the great problem of China, but there | are two thoughts that occur to me| in that connection.

Rivalry Wo Be Ruinous. “There is an old Chinese proverb, Dr. Hayashi said, “which declares that China must control foreigners by utilizing foreigners, or to translate the expression literally otherwi. she must master the barbarians with the help of the barbarians. That policy she follows with skill'and cleverness, Just as Turkey has in the past played England against Russia tsnd Eng!and against Germany, and, that play ed to the ruin of Turkey, so will the powers’ rivalry in China lead to the collapse of that country if not cor- rected in time. “The salvation of China, therefore, LEE IS FIRST LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY. 23 lles In bringing her to the realiza- tion that the rest of the world will act as a unit in dealing with her.

The larger newspapers express the view that the comparative disinterested- ness of Italy in the problems to be discuased permits ccol judgment by shrewd political minds.
