The Italian chamber of deputies today gave its .approval to the Washington con ference treaties which -will be tor mally ratified by secret ballots to morrow; " The approval was given after Premier Mussolini had spoken in favor of the conventions. There was a small attendance of the deputies for the reopening of parliament and throughout the session the proceedings were un eventful. During the debate on the Washington conventions some of the deputies spoke in favor of a general reduction in armament, while others advanced the thenry thnt Italy should be prepared for all eventualities. The Socialists supported disarmament, while the Fascist! deputy, Glunta. declared Italy required naval preparedness. lioccpiton Admiral count I naon ii kcvci, minister of marine, pointed out that Italy did not produce suflt cient to feed .her people or to work her Industries In peace time, much less in war time; in deed, he said. Italy, was obliged to import four-fifths of her food and raw materials and therefore in asking at Washington naval equality with France she was. de manding the minimum to safe guard her own life. Premier Mussolini amid pro found attention from the deputies, declared he did not wish to waste time In discussing whether the war was the Inst war, or only the last war but one. Journalists from all quartern of the globe, he added, proclaimed that tho Wash ington conference would result In perpetual peace hut the actual re sults had been quite different. "I don't believe In' perpetual peace," exclaimed Mussolini. "I don't think even Kant (the fa mous German philosopher) be lieved in it." The premier's words were greet ed laith hilarity by the deputies.
