BN FOOD SHIPS PLAN LAUDED IN ITALY Writer Says World Should Warmly Commend Hoover Armistice Day Proposal. | By the Associated Press. NAPLES, Italy, November 22 —Warm commendation of President Hoover's Armistice day proposal for the immunity of food ships in wartime was con- tnlnrd in a leading article entitled “Freedom of Seas,” in Mattino. The article, signed with the pseudo- nym “Sirius,” is understood to have been written by a prominent former | 1aval officer and to represent the Itallan official viewpoint. “President Hoover’s honest proposi- tion should find among Italians, who are really and profoundly desirous_ of peace,” but an honorable peace that does not mean vassalage, enthusiastic accord otherwise rather dificult o ar- rive at,” says the writer. Italy, the article continues, is ready to_accept, no matter what limits for her own armaments, even the lowest possible, provided that she is not sur- passed by any continental European nation. Further concessions wuld compro- mise our national security,” Sirius says, adding that the amount of naval arma- ment necessary is not dependent solely on miles of coastline and the number of ports possessed, but by the sum total of its maritime interests. “Italy, who to assure the life of its own people must each year import by sea about 20,000,000 tons of raw ma- terials, would therefore need a navy not inferior to that of any other Euro- pean continental power, even if she had only one port and a few miles of coast, The writer maintains the removal or reduction of obstacles that in war time | hinder the free influx of foodstuffs would diminish the tasks of the navy But. " principle ever i hed. e ciple ever triumphed.” The writer praises the President's ' proposal as profoundly sensible, and says he cannot understand the appar- ' press to hall it as such. | st i, | Gunner Accidentally Shot. | Edward D.
