bassador De Martlno of Italy In a
formal statement characterized yes

remarks regarding Premier Mussolini
attributed to Major General Smedley
Butler in a recent address In Phila

The navy department has asked
Butler to explain the speech but has
had no reply as yot. Major General
Butler commands a marine post at
Quantlco, Va.
Adequate redress has been de
manded by the Italian government
In a formal protest to the state de
partment against Butler's remarks.
"In an address delivered before
the contemporary, club of Philadel
phia on January 19, Major General
Smedley D. Butler stated." the am
bassador's statement said, "as It ap
pears from the Philadelphia papers,
that Signor Mussolini had invited a
friend of the general's (whose name,
however, he did not mention) to ac

gradual depletion of local funds it
has becomo increasingly necessary to
supplement the resources of chapters.
From tne oegiumuB u
to December 31, 1930, 47.5 per cent
of the drouth expenditures came
from local funds; from Jan. 1 to Jan.

expenditures came from local funds.
Soon after the senate met, the re

Senator Caraway contending Presi
dent Hoover was using the Red cross
as a "political smoke screon behind
which he Is undertaking to shirk his
responsibility" to the suffering.
The Arkansas Democrat said his at
tention had been called to the testi
mony by Payne before a house com
mittee that tho Red Cross would re
fuse to administer tho proposed $26,
000,000 federal relief fund. ' .
Caraway said If the president
wanted to becomo the "oppressor' of
humanity" he should "do it 'n the
open and not draw down the Red
Cross to an Instrument of oppression
for political reasons."
