Italy is weaker from an economic viewpoint than France, but she makes no conditions about her promise to pay. , "The Italian government, said Premier Mussolini to the writer, "has declared it will meet the obligations completely because we have set our signa ture down and are not advocates of the scrap of paper theory. Naturally as the United States has given relatively good terms to Great Britain, Italy expects to be given terms proportionate to her economic strength." In other words, the Italians wish to pay but they want the tonus made so the debt can be distributed over a period of years consistent with their capacity to pay. Tliey also want interest chart:*'* that are not bur densome simply because the period of payment may be lengthy. Several months ago the idea of It aly paying anything on her debt to America was usually dismissed as fantastic. Overwhelmed with debts and torn asunder by internal diffi culties* the prospect of paying any foreign debt was not worth discus sing. The American Government In the last few months, however, has been, able to settle its terms with Great Britain and this has stimulated American ambassadors elsewhere to urge other countries to follow Great Britain's example. Italy recognizes that first of all sh?* must regain tl^e confidence of American capitalists and that a step in the direction of paying the war d? bt would make a profound impres sion. As an instance of this, policy of lurrying favor with America there has been a good deal of wining and dining of American business men who illicit be presumed to exert their influence when they get home from their travels. Words spoken by the American Government through Ambassador Richard Washburn Child, supporting th?* Mussolini government com*1 as a natural sequence to the latter's promises to pay her debts. There is no doubt that Mussolini has prof iled internally by the words of Child as well as by the words of President Harding which were reproduced in every Italian newspaper from one end of the Italian boot to the other. Externally the Italian government under Mussolini also Is playing a shrewd diplomatic game. Originally thn Italians were Inclined to favor their Latin associates. Mussolini likes France for sentimental reasons as that country harl>ored him when as a socialist, fleeing from the Italian police, he needed as asylum But France's Ruhr policy has In jured Italy"* economic position by depriving her of coal. Moreover, It aly beinu weak in manufactures wants to buy cheap and the virtual suppression of German trade has compelled Italy to buy from coun tries where the rate of exchange is higher. So today Italy is veering close to Great Britain and even closer to the United States. Mussolini's entente with Washing Fast Norfolk Club Loses To Best City Visitors Outhit Locals But I Fielding Of Home Team Was Too Fast * In a game featured by air tight playing on bo}h sides, Elizabeth City Thursday auj?rnoon defeated the Riverside Auuetic Association of Norfolk 1 to'Q. in the fastest game of hall seen here this season. The lone rua scored by the home team was made In the first inning of the game and after this Inning not a man was able to get to third has*. The visitors outhit the locals wlln seven hits to their credit against five for the winners. Twice the Norfolk boys got on third base with only one man out but each time they were shut out by the fast team work of the homers. Wallace, twirling for Norfolk,] showed considerable skill on the mound, retiring three men In succes sion iu four Innings. Halentine.i pitched a eood game, especially af-1 ter the first two innings during which the visitors picked out three of their hits. Thcmort exciting feature of the game was executed by the locals in i the seventh frame. J. Cuesa hit by short. Whitaker filed out to True-)' blood. Allen cot to first when Cal ,vert fumbled his bad grounder and J. Guess went to third. Allen start ed for second on Ilallentlne's first delivery to Host. Host pegged the pill to second and J. Guess started for home. Abbot played bark io the ! plate and J. Guess was tagged out. Another spectacular feature was j Slip's fast double play In the eighth inning . Hood covered center field In Ms usual brilliant style and Ballen- . tine made n wood catch of a |?op fly I ' on the third base line. J. Guess starred in batting for the visitors with two hits out of three chances. II. Guess made a brilliant catch of Sliipp's fly In right field and the general defense work of the vis itors was excellent. The one run made by the local | team was started when Shlpp hit to, i left field and Hood sacrificed. Cal vert hit through second base and Abbott walked. Trueblood hit to center and Shlpp sco,red. Calvert was tagged out at third and Dundy filed out to Guess. Pans were disappointed at 5 o'clock when they learned that four of the players from Norfolk had not arrived and the game started ofT with substitutes from Elizabeth City. , JJefore the second Inning had been played, however the tardy players ar- ' rived and the game was started all ton will unquestionably have an ef fect on the European situation and perhaps on American foreign policy as well when the hour of reckoning | on German reparations finally Is reached.
