PAGE Sia IL DUCE'S SPEECH AROUSES NO FEARS Mussolini's Warning to Austria Considered for Home Consumption ADDRESSES GERMANY English Sympathy for Aus. tria Exists in Many Circles Paris, Mar. 7.--While French official circles watched with inter- est European reactions to Premier Mussolini's threats to Austria, growing out of the Austrian critie- fsm to Facist rule in the Italian Tyrol, the English press devoted only passing interest to Il Duce's speech and League of Nations eir- cles failed to be impressed. It was the opinion at Geneva Sunday that Mussolini's speech on Saturday, declaring that another Austrian criticism would bring "deeds" not words, was intended mainly for home consumption. Well informed League observers con- sider that despite the Italo-Aus- trian exchanges which are regard- ed as an unfortunate repercussion in the general politics of Eurape no serious developments would fol- low. The French believe Mussolini's speech was addressed directly to Germany, over Austria's head. The Temps reflecting semi-official opin- fon expects a reply to hear fur- ther the political tempers in the Upper Adige (Italian Tyrol). "But this solemn warning un- doubtedly was necessary for the pan-Germanists whose activities under the guise of defending the rights of the German minority really create a permanent danger for all Europe and constitute a menace to the Italian Tyrol and elsewhere," Temps sald. French Opinion The French found Mussolini's attitude firm and his tone hard but entirely in keeping with T1 Duce's habit of disregarding di- plomacy"s polite phraseology when he seeks to affirm new Italy's Fas- cist spirit.

Hence official circle here do mot expect a reaction 1 Mussolini's threat to discuss th: question next time with "deeds" The German press is most in dignant at Mussolini's speech, The Catholic newspaper "Germania" warned the Italian dictator that the "position of Fascism is not un- shakable." Noting the power of World opinion, the newspaper said, that Fascist Italy is bound to be- come unpopular and isolated, "similar to pre-war Germany." In many quarters in England there appears to be considerable sympathy with the Austrian view- point. Although many Englishmen be- lieve Mussolini's speech was de- signed for home consumption, some newspapers sald that Musso- lini "in a dramatic fighting speech beat the war drum and gave Aus- tria a sharp warning."

A, WKEOWN MAY SUCCEED TODD Rumors That He Will Be. come Lieutenant-Gover- nor of N. B. Ottawa, Mar. 7.--The term of office of Hon, W. F. Todd, Lieu- tenant-Governor of New Brunswick expired last week although it is the well defined custom for a govern- or to carry on till his successor is appointed, if his own term is not renewed. Rumors are circulating here that Hon. H. A. McKeown, chair. man of the Board of Railway Com- missioners, may he appointed to the Lieutenant-Governorship of his native province where formely he was Chief Justice. No confirma- tion of the report was obtainable, but the disposition seems to be to attach credence to it. A vacancy on the commission has prevailed since last Oetobher when Commissioner Boyee retired at the end of his term, but this position has not heen filled and there appears to be doubt as to whether or not it will be. If it is filled very likely a western man will be appointed as there is only one' commissioner on the hoard frome that territory. This is the position in connection with which Hon. T. C. Norris' name was put forward.

Oshawa THATS MADE GRADE THE BEST N EVERY HOOVER AND SMITH LIKELY TO ENERGE Republicans Strongly Sup- port Candidacy of Hoover DEMOCRATS' CHOICE Chances of Governor of New York Being Nom- inated Find Favor New York, Mar. 7.--A comfort- able assumption that Herbert Hoover and Alfred E. Smith may be expected to emerge successful from the Republican and Demo- cratic conventions in June is at least the surface gloss on the poli- tical situation here three months before nominating time. Whatever qualms religion and prohibition stirrings in the south and west may be causing in Tam- many hall--if any--have not be- come apparent. The Hoover can- didacy, on its part has been giv- ing evidence of being accepted by the Republican machine by a sort Talks of re- viving the boom for Charles Evans Hughes, partly on the strength of his handling the pan-American conference, has dwindled and the Republican gaze of the eastern sea- hoard is at the moment turned vestward where Lowdn, Curtis, Watson and Willis are jockeying 'or positions at the barrier. The result of Tfoover's challenge R | R | to Willls in the Ohio primaries un- ! doubtedly will affect his pre-com- vention strength in the east, poll- ticlans believe. The fact that even before the test, Hoover has demon- strated he has the support of the regular organization {in Cleve- land, Cincinnati, and Toledo has already worked to his favor here. The Hoover indications in New Hampshire, where he has both the Moses and the anti-Moses machine behind him, and in Maryland, where he has entered the primaries with both the Weller and anti- Weller forces backing him, are re- garded as significant. Smith's Organization Beautiful posters announcing Smith for president have been the New York Democratic organiza- tion's reply to suggestions, popu- larly supposed to have Republican inspiration, to the effect that De- mocratiec chances would be better- ed should Smith throw his support to a wet or slightly damp Protest- ant. The names of Governor Albert C. Ritchie, of Maryland and Sena- tor James A. Reed, of Missouri have heen put forth in connection with this proposition, Actual ne- gotiations, however, apparently have been less than nebulous. For the benefit of those who like to speculate, it has heen pointed out that the Democrats have in these men three interlock- ing combinations toward which to retire in a convention. Senator Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana, {is a bone-dry Catholie, Governor Smith is a wet Catholic, and Sena- tor Reed is a wet Protestant, Governor Smith has given no indication that he is concerned about the speaking tour of Sena- tor Reed, but he is anxious to be quit of a legislature in session in order to devote himself to prepara- tions for Houston and what may come, DOCTOR SHOT DEAD BY UNKNOWN MAN Detroit, Mich., Mar, 7.--Dr. Wil- liam R. Baker, 70-year-old native of Lambeth Village, in Middlesex, and a graduate of Western Uni- versity, London, was shot to death here Monday night in his office, at 4800 West Fort Street, His assailant, believed to have been a young man, who was seen to run out of the place after the shooting, escaped. Police up to midnight Monday had no theory to offer for the murder. Mrs. Clara Baker, wife of the physician, was in the Baker apart. ment above the office when the shooting occurred, she sald. She heard voices in the office, them three shots in rapid succession. When she reached the office she found her husband's body.
