* FRANCOTALIAN - TREATY FORESEENl Paris Nervously Awaited Re- sult of Conference Between ' Mussolini and Chamberlain. By Radio to The Star. PARIS, April 13.—Every time a great statesman visits Italy and has an interview with Mussolinj the hearts of French diplomats bound nervously. For the eyes of the Quai d’Orsay offi- cials are unceasingly ‘directed across the Alps toward the Palazzo Chigi, which, in the view of many of them, is the heart of all international in- trigues. A pang was felt in Paris when it was learned that Il Duce had gone to Florence for a talk with Sir Austen | Chamberlain. M. Caron de Beaumarchais, French | Ambassador to Rome, who happened to be in Paris, remembered how four years ago an imprudent word said by Cham- berlain to Mussolini allowed the latter | to conclude a treaty with Albania that gave Italy a free hand on the Adriatic. He wondered whether the Florence in- terview would not upset the arduous work he has been doing in Rome for two years trying to bring a friendly arrangement between Italy and France. A day later the fears of the French Ambassador were appeased: Sir Austen had proved a faithful friend to M. Briand. Agreement Is Believed Near. As the French foreign office learned with relief during the talk with the Italian dictator, the British minister pointed out to Mussolini .the necessity to settle promptly all the problems pend- ing between the two neighboring Latin countries. M. de Beaumarchais now feels his way has been solidly paved for the final arrangement, which he hopes to sign within the coming months. Yet his work in Rome has been particularly difficult.. He had to settle with th! Duce two delicate questions: The Italian | i government was asking a special | regime for Italian subjects living in Tunisia, and it wanted France to cede | to Italy the strip of territory in the Sahara that connected Tripolitania with Lake Chad. On the first problem a compromise satisfactory to Italy had been arrived at, though it had not been signed. The Italians will enjoy the Tunisia regime, the most favored nation. The first gen- eration born in Tunisia will remain Italian. The second generation will have the right, when coming of age, to choose between France and Italy as their mother country. Only the third generation will be obliged to become Prench. Thus Fascism will retain in its ranks for another 20 or 30 years a couple million Italian citizens. Territory Division Refused. But while M. Beaumarchais has been conciliatory on the first point, he has remained adamenl as regards the second. France will not split her terri- | tory in Central Africa by giving Italy access to Chad. All she consented to | give Italy in the Sahara is a small portion of her land south from Tunisia, | with one of the fertile oases that could eventually help the Italian troops and colonists in Tripolitania. On these lines France considers the agreement ready to be signed at any moment, but until now Italy has refused to accept it, hoping to get better terms. i In fact, the sudden growth of interest France has lately shown for her Cen- tral African empire has alarmed Musso- lini's government. For Italy the for- mation of a solid bloc of French terri- tory connected by a transsahara rail- way extending from the Mediterranean to the Kongo would mean a serious, almost deadly, .danger in case of war with France. Besides, Italy is striving to increase her colonial possessions, and it seems rather unfair to the Fascist leaders that France—the country with a de- creasing population — should control one-third of Africa, while the over- populateg Italy must content herself with the Tripoli deserts and Somaliland. Thus the colonial problem has been during the last months the chief aj ple of discord between Rome and Paris. It has prevented the signature of general agreement. It is now felt here; the friendly advice given by Sir Austen to Mussolini in Florence may induce Duce to become more conciliatory as regards his claims for the Sehara Desert. (Cobyright. 1929.) PRIMARY LAW CHANGE SECURED BY WOMAN President of League Responsible for Authorizing Permanent Regis- tration for Wisconsin Voters. MADISON, Wis. (#).—Mrs. Frederic A. Ogg, wife of the head of the depart- ment of political science in the Uni- versity of Wisconsin, largely is re- sponsible for having secured permanent registration for Wisconsin voters. Mrs. Ogg is president of the Madison League of Woman oVters. She began to investigate registration methods in Wisconsin and found them obsolete and costly. With the assistance of Joseph P. Harris of the university a permanent remstnnon bill was drawn u p’rhmugh all the crowded ‘hearings and valiant work of local leagues Mrs. Ogg was in the thick of it. The gov- ernor’s veto did not dismay her and she kept on working until the bill finally was passed. She then turned . her attention to changing the date of the Fall primaries. ‘The bill, which she helped draw up, now pending in the Wl.:eon!aln Legislatur d with every prospect of pastage, ad- vances the primary date - from the ‘Tuesday :(ur the first Monday In Sep- tember to the third Tuesday in Sep- tember.
