(Copyright by the New York World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) FIUME, Oct. 15. (Special Cable.) As days pass the attitude of Fiume'a citizens toward Premier Nitti's gov ernment becomes more and more de fiant. It is the peneral opinion her"e that they will destroy Fiume rather than give the city up to the Jugo slavs, if they are ordered to do so by the peace conference. This means that the citizens will make ready under Gabriel d'Annunzio's leader chip, to evacuate Flume, retire to Italy if forced to do 80, but leave a contingent of volunteers to blow up the city. It is acknowledged officially that negotiations between representatives of the N'itti government and D'An Tiunzio have broken down. Major lliurati, Premier Nitti's latest special messenger, recently entered this city to lay proposals before D'Annunzio. Premier Nittl proposed that the city and the territory now occupied by the people's army and under his command should be divided into four small states. One of these was to be Fiume City, the others the city's sub urbs, and. Instead of Veglia, these states were to be confederated. The pert of Fiume was to be under control of the league of nations.' Measenarer Half Hearted. Major Oiurati had so little faith In these proposals that he prefaced them by saying he knew It was impossible for D'Annunzio to accept them, but he forwarded them as a matter of duty. Naturally, d'Annunzio lost no time in saying: "That is always the way with Nit ti's emissaries. They either come over to me the moment they arrive outside of Fiume, or they fulfill their mision in such a half-hearted way that nobody in the city takes them seriously." Benito Musolini, leader of the com batant socialists, who visited the city by airplane, told me d'Annunzio'a firm attitude is fully justified by the inter national situation. Position Considered Safe. "Neither America, France nor Great Britain will start a new war for Fiume," says Signor Musolini. "D'An nunzio knows and means to hold firm because he has not only Fiume, but all Italy behind him. If Premier Nittl had not given himself up to low In trigue, the question would have been settled by this time. All we want ia to be sure that Fiume remains a part of Italy, but Nittl is not going to work in the right way. The deadlock is mostly his fault." So the deadlock will continue for weeks, probably. The supply of food la still good. I learn that there is enough grain and preserved food to last for three months. The Croats are sending in meat and vegetables and a certain amount of milk. D'Annunzio'a volunteers are badly off for warm clothing for the coming winter and women's committees are busy all through -taly collecting garments for them with a zeal that recalls the en thusiasm for knitting at the begin ning of the war. RADIO CONTROL SOUGHT DANIELS IiAYS SEW POLICY BEFORE CONGRESS. National Commission Would Regu late All Private Stations Philip pines and Panama Barred. "WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. A new policy for control and development of radio communications was laid be fore congress today by Secretary Dan iels. It provides for maintenance of both naval and private stations, with the latter under control of a national radio commission, and proposes to open existing or new stations to gen eral public correspondence at rates to be fixed by the navy department and congress.

In presenting the bill Secretary Daniels struck out a provision in his previous tentative measure providing ror acquisition by the navy of exist ing stations or those under construc tion, and that giving the navy depart ment exclusive control of all radio operations in the future.. Private radio companies would not be permitted to affiliate with subma rine cable or land telegraph or tele phone systems without consent of the national commission, and private companies would not be permitted to operate in the Philippines and the Panama canal zone- Owen Resolution Favored.
