DUCE ACTS T0 PROP FOREIGN EXCHANGE Offers Italian Nationals in U. S. Bonus for Bond Conversion. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 11.—A new fiscal move by Italy to conserve her dwindling foreign exchange, which apparently has been drawn on heavily for war purchases, was taken today with announcement of a new dollar bond conversion offer to Italian na- sionals in the United States. Romolo Angelone, commercial at- tache to the Royal Italian Embassy, vevealed & new law under which Jtalians in America and other foreign countries can pay trade compensation and personal remittances in Italy by eonverting Italian dollar bonds at prices as of December 8, 1934, into new Italian internal 5 per cent lire bonds. Under the plan, an Italian holding, for example, Italy 7s, 1951, now quoted around $53 per $100 bond, can ex- change them for new bonds at around $96. About 20 other Italian dollar bonds now held in various amounts in this country come under the same arrangement, Angelone stated. - In effect, the Italian government will pay & bonus of some $43 per $100 bond, in the case of the Italy 7s, in order to reduce its dollar payments here in interest and sinkiog fund ac- count of some $20,000,000 a year. Un- official estimates place the probable saving at $10,000,000 or more a year. Decision to extend the exchange offer to other than Italian nationals has been reserved. MANY LANDMARKS ARE BEING RESTORED New Division Has Under Way or Pending 35 Projects Through- out United States. By the Associated Press. Landmarks that link America With the past are being restored and set aside for public use by the National Park Service and its State Parks Division, carrying out terms of a new law. Officials say, in addition to national park work, the new division either has under way or pending 35 projects to restore and preserve historical sites, with a dozen or more others being studied to see whether their connec- tior with history warranted develop- ment. The work is bolstered by a new law which declared it to be the national policy to preserve historic sites, build- ings and objects. It gave the Secre- tary of the Interior wide authority to carry out this policy. Already scores of historic buildings in different sections of the country, many of them privately owned, have been photographed and mapped and drawn to architectural scale so that it they should be destroyed they could be restored. These drawings are at the Congressional Library. This pro- gram is being continued under the works fund, 2 Oriental Olympiad. An all-Malayan Chinese Olympiad was held recently in Penang, Malaya.

Experts said they did not believe his military operations would be seriously embarrassed for the present by his inability to buy arms abroad, since there is mass manufac- ture of arms in Italy. On the other hand, they pointed out, the lifting of the embargo from Ethio- pia would constitute a real and im- mediate menace to the Italian forces. Ships Stopped In Other Wars. In previous wars, belligerents have halted and searched neutral ships suspected of carrying arms o the enemy. League delegates asked each other today if they believed Italy's warships would attempt to stop Brit- ish, Dutch, French and other vessels bound for Djibouti. It was also asked if the ships of League states could be regarded as neutral, or could they refuse the right of search on the grounds that their national position no longer was one of neutrality because of their duty to the League of Nations. ° (Under the League covenant an aggressive act of war against one member of the League automatically is regarded as an act of war against all members.) There is also the possibility that arms may be shipped by rail through the Sudan to a poin* near the Ethi- opian frontier. League officials said that the next probable step by the committee would be to recommend an embargo on the exportation to Italy of “key products™ which are required for the manufac- ture of armaments. A report by League experts, who considered the question of key prod- ucts before the present discussion of the Italo-Ethiopian conflict, said the idea would be to select commodities the use of which for war purposes would outweigh their importance for commercial and civilian purposes.

The chief Italian delegate left at the moment that Dr. Eduard Benes of Czechoslovakia, president of the League Assembly, was making one more ap- peal to both Italy and Ethiopia for ace. peDl'. Benes addressed an Assembly meeting, reminding the combatants “how ardently we desire an early and peaceful end to the conflict.” Aloisi ignored the meeting. Albania Opposes Sanctions. His departure coincided with an in- crease in the anti-sanctions bloc. Al- bania, Italy’s Adriatic neighbor, joined with Austria and Hungary in a dec- laration against the League’s condem- nation of Italy and against any pro- gram of sanctions against Mussolini’s nation. ‘The refusal of Albania to join in sanctions makes the third leak in the League’s projected economic dam against .Italy.
