By Puul Motion (Copyright. 1935, by Paul Mallon, WASHINGTON, Nov. 19. MUMO llnl offered a Rood excuse for the recall of General Do Bono. He slip ped out word that his Ethio pian campaigner was too old and too slow to ault him. The Italian dictator may get away with that logioal unoffic ial explanation in Italy, but not among the wise b o y a here. The best of U. 8 d 1 p 1 omatlc and r Mil. MAIJ.ON military authorities suspect a far more important half of the story has not been told. Dc Bono may be old and cautious, but he is still Mussolini's best gen eral. Also, he is a more devoted fascist than the Romo chief of staff, with whom he swapped Jobs. Hts Ethiopian campaign, as far as the military experts here could see, was flawless. The change, stripped oi official hooey, means simply that Mussolini has moved his best gen eral home, where his best troops are also. The obvious deduction from this Is that Mussolini has decided his moat Important front right now may be in Italy, not Ethiopia. - But there is more to this theory than deduction. War-wise authori ties have reason to believe the He Bono recall had a close connection with the British elections which oc curred two days earlier. A week ago they picked up In formation that Stanley Baldwin had promised the British labor party to r put an end to Mussolini If the national government was returned to power. British labor la afraid or fascism, would like to see Mussolini sent to St. Helena. That Is supposed to be why they offered no more for midable campaign against the return of the Baldwtnltes. At any rate, the Insiders here have been wondering since the Baldwin victory whether he will press for Mussolini's downfall of turn, him into a British marlonnette. They foresee no other possibilities. To them, therefore, the return oi T Bono means that Mussolini will fight for his life and Job, at home as well as In Ethiopia, with his most trusted and popular army gen eral at his side. It was luck, a much as British diplomacy, which put the world's greatest dictator since Napoleon Into the pickle Jar out of which he is now attempting to scramble. British diplomatists themselves are said to have been surprised at the esse with which they corralled the I continued on Page rhres) Pen Ducks After Dose Of Alcohol BtiMTD.1I. Minn,, Nov.
