He has just now returned after years of hardships to find himself an Italian citizens, because his village, by the for- tunes of war, became Italian. Lo was captured by the Russians in 1914. He was sent to Semipalatinsk, then to Tomsk, Samarra, Tambov and Gorad.

In 1926 the authorities here, through the Italian Ambassador at Moscow, began to exert influence to allow him to return.

Copyright, 1930. TOKIO, Japan, May 1.—Two articles of the imperial Japanese constitution and their interpretation form the crux of the conflict now raging in the Diet over the London naval treaty. These are articles 11 and 12, which read, “The Emperor has the supreme command of the army and the navy, and “the emperor determines the or- ganization and peace standing of the army and the navy.” Fighting for Own Existence. The general staffs of the army and the navy are fighting not only to defeat the naval treaty, but for their very ex- istence as separate bodies not responsi- ble to the people, government or Diet, but only to the throne, bringing into the open the conflict between the civil and military branches of the government which has complicated Japan's foreign and international political relations for years. According to constitution, all sovereignty, legislative, _executive and Judiciary, resides in the Emperor, but in practice the Emperor is above politics. This apparently anomalous situation has developed & body of men known as “elder statesmen” or “genro,” who, as advisers to the Emperor, have been in- termediaries. These men have passed out of existence with the exception of Prince Saionjl. The fight will actually center around Admiral Takarabe on his return from London. If he resigns, it will mean the downfail of the Eamaguchi cabinet. But Admiral Takarabe already has compro- mised himself by having signed the treaty at London as one of Japan's del- egates and, furthermore, best informa- tion indicates that Takarabe has no in- tention of resigning. The real contest will not take place in the Diet but at the privy council ‘when the treaty is brought up for ratifi- cation. Such leading ex-navy men as Viscount Admiral Sato, now governor- general of Korea, and head of the Ge- neva delegation, and Count Admiral ‘Yamamoto, are favorable to thetreaty and their influence will be considerable with Takarabe. Count Yamamoto is the father-in-law of Takarabe. Influential Men Favorable. Furthermore, it is known that Prince Saionji and Count Makino, lord keeper of the privy seal, and most influential man_in the empire, are decidedly fa- vorable to the treaty. The storm in the Diet in its final analysis is an internal issue, for the navy and war departments are fightin to retain control of their predominani position, even when opposed by the cab- inet's virtually unanimous decisions, such as is the case with this treaty. If the cabinet wins out, it means the weakening of the political power and the position held by the chiefs of both the naval and war general staffs, The interpellations in the Diet are charac- teristically bitter and_stormy, but the cabinet, as far as the Diet is concerned, is in a strong position, having a large majority in the lower house.
