HITLER, NOT DUCE,
IS NELOJNITIATOR
Spokesman Asserts He Re
alizes Reich Is Isolated by
Franco-Soviet Pact.
(Copyright. 1936. by Associated Press.)
ROME, February 20.—Reichsfuehrer
Adolf Hitler, rather than Premier
Mussolini, is taking the initiative in
intense Italo-Oerman diplomatic ex
changes. authoritative German circles
said today, in an effort to bring about
a complete rapprochement.
Ulrich Von Hassell, German Am
bassador to Italy, went to Munich last
week, had a long conversation with
Hitler and then returned to Rome and
requested an audience with Fulvio
Suvich, Italian undersecretary for
foreign affairs, these sources disclosed.
After his audience with Suvich, the
German Ambassador flew back to Ber
lin yesterday morning, at the same
time that the Italian undersecretary
was talking with Egon Berger-Walden
egg, Austrian foreign minister, at
Florence.
Suvich returned to Rome today to
report to Premier Mussolini personally
en the progress of the negotiations.
Hitler Realizes Position.
A spokesman for German quarters
said Hitler had realized the third
Reich was isolated in Europe by the
Franco-Soviet mutual assistance pact
and by Franco-British military con
versations.
He realized that Italy also was iso
lated by the operations of sanctions,
being applied by the League of Nations
as punishment for the Fascist warfare
In Ethiopia, this source said.
He wanted to establish a common
Viewpoint between them.
Consequently, it was asserted, the
two dictators are now exchanging
views on fundamental questions, such
as the League of Nations, the Franco
Soviet pact and Austria.
The Hitler Initiative in resuming the
pourparlers with Italy followed a simi
lar initiative by II Duce several weeks
ago in attempting to better relations
between the two countries.
Papers Play Up Conference*.
Some Rome newspapers published in
Juxtaposition today the news of the
conversations between Suvich and
Berger-Waldenegg at Florence yester
day, Von Hassell’s visit to Berlin,
Mussolini’s reception to the Polish
Ambassador here last night, a visit by
Hermann Wilhelm Goering to Warsaw
and French press nervousness over the
possibility of an Italo-German rap
prochement.
Diplomatic sources attached signifi
cance to the fact that the Polish Am
bassador, Alfredo Wysocki, left this
morning for his capital to recount to
the Warsaw foreign minister his latest
conversation with II Duce.
Mussolini and the Polish Ambas
. sador, it was learned, discussed the
whole European situation and the
Franco-Soviet pact in particular.
Defense Against Sanctions.
The conversations between Suvich
and Berger-Waldenegg were Inter
preted in informed circles as a move
by Italy to strengthen its defenses
against sanctionist nations.
A disposal of the problems of Aus
trian independence from Germany
and Italian rapprochement with Ger
many, these sources said, would im
prove Italy’s diplomatic position im
mensely.
It would free Fascist Italy from
fear of facing two distinct European
complications—from Geneva, seat of
sanctions, and from Austria, beyond
Italy’s Brenner Pass—simultaneously
with a pressing of the Italian cam
paign for conquest in Ethiopia.
It would enable H Duce also to di
vert to other purposes the garrison he
has massed near Brenner Pass as a
warning against any German inter
ference in Austria.
Rome diplomatic sources said they
regarded prospects for an Italo-Ger
man accord as a particularly effective
weapon against the sanctions being
imposed on Italy by the League of
Nations for the warfare in Ethiopia.
Clergymen Live Longer.
According to statistics, the longest
living class of human beings is the
clergy. And their wives live to an
even greater age.

REVIVAL OF GANG
Killing of McGurn Does Not
Mean New Outbreak,
Official Says.
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February 20 —The pos
sibility of a revival of gang wars—
touched off by the killing of Machine
Gun Jack McGurn—was discounted
yesterday by the Chicago Crime Com
mission.
R. W. Dvorak, assistant operating
director of the agency that keeps a
perpetual watch on the underworld,
gave this reason for the continuation
of mobdom’s peace: “There’s nothing
much left to fight about."
McGurn was A1 Capone’s favorite
follower. Heads usually rolled when
one of the “big fellow’s" men was
killed.
But Dvorak said things and “the
take” have changed since prohibition
repeal. “About the only motive for
murder is private vengeance. There
are no rich spoils to quarrel over.”
