[TALY DENIES BID FOR FRENCH PAC Rome Government Disclaims Effort to Form Economic Alliance With Paris. MUTUAL AID PLAN SEEN Italy Could Supply Workers for Ruhr in Exchange for Raw Materials. BY EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1923. ROME, February 26.—It is officially denied in Rome that the schemes for a continental economic and political understanding which have been receiv- ing much publicity both here and in France are those of the Itallan gov- ernment. What these schemes are, how vast in reach and how important, if true, ean be seen from the following de- scription given by the Parls cor- respondent of the Rome Messagero: “Through an association of economic interests France can glve ltaly the coal and iron she needs. This asso- ciation can be made only upon the basis of exchange of services. France would glve Italy raw materials and Italy would give France labor. Hun- dreds of thousands of Italian workers could be concentrated in the Krench mineral basins. That means an in- creasa in the production of wealth which France cannot exploit alone. That might also mean the solution of the problem of the Ruhr. Workers Needed in Ruhr. *“France having entered the Ruhr district has met with paralysis. Nothing moves. Production is at a standstill. This colossal mechanism must be put in motion and France alone cannot do it. One hundred thousand Italian workmen could give decistve ald in transforming the oc- cupation, still negative, into for French industry, for the French budget and for French resistance to German threats any such plan the chicf oppositic to it comes from the French Assocl tion of Steel TProducers. In weekly bulletin this organization re- cently accused the Italian govern- ment of being illegal and declared that secrious relations with such a government were difficult. The French government is entirely satisfled to take advantage of the Italian solidarity In the Ruhr district with- out agreeing to walk hand in hand with Premier Mussolini, for the latter de- Aires an understanding with France, in which the French consider that they have more to lose than to gain. But despite French coolness Italian denial constant negotiations are BOing on between the two cquntries, proof of which, if proof is needed. is found in a recent speech of the Itaiian ambassadorl in Paris, In which he praised the economic partnership be- tween France and Italy.

Pictorial Review Patterns— Spring Fashion Book, 25c TRY FIRST Tomorrow, Tuesday L00GE ELECTION CLANED ILLEG Attorney for Defeated Dry Candidate Challenges Right of Senator to Seat. By the Assoclated Press. BOSTON, February 26—The right of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge to his seat in the United States Senate was challenged yesterday when Conrad W. | Crooker, acting as an attorney for John A. Nicholls, defeated prohibi- tion candidate for United States sen- ator in the recent election, presented a long statement to Gov. Cox, in which it was urged that it was the governor's statutory duty to recall and vacate the certificate of election issued to Senator Lodge and to forth- with issue precepts for 2 new sena- torial election. The prohibition candidate ran third in election return to Col. Willlam A. Gaston, democratic candidate, and Senator Lodge. The appeal to the governor was based upon an alleged general viola- tion of the mandatory provisions of the election law in the conduct of the senatorlal clection “as to conatitute an entire failure on the part of the Voters to legally elect any candidate.” Claims Many Violations. “After careful inquiry I find that in at least 107 towns and thirteen cities of the commonwealth the statutory requirements as to bipartisan ap- pointment of certain election officers were flagrantly violated,” the state- ment sald. all these cities and towns the election boards were over- loaded with republicans, and in many dases representation to the other leading political party was entirely denied.” The communication pointed out that the alleged violations of the law were not confined to either the republican or democratic party, and stated viola- tions were equally’ flagrant in both democratic and republican zones, “to such an extent as renders it impos- sible to fairly determine the legally declared choice of the people, par- ticularly in the matter of candidates for United States senator.” S Street N.W.

Critics | note that the chief interest of Itady as a poor country is to buy cheaply | from Germany, and hence is opposed | to the Ruhr occupation. They note | also that Great Britain can seriously | embarrass the Itallan government by asking it to begin paying interest on | its war debt, and if it desires can| deal a formidable blow at the value of the lira. The critics point out that Italy has already offended Great Brit- ain by upholding France in the orlent | and may be made to pay dearly for these acts. ———— Prices realized on Swift & Company | sales of carcass beef in Washington, D.
