STRUGGLE
STARTS IN GENEVA
Italy, Spain, Great Britain
and France Seeking
African Territory.
BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
PARIS, September Twill Italy
and Spain. recently banded together
by new treaty of alliance, go SO far
as to try sabotage at the present
League of Nations meeting in Geneva,
in order to increase their North
African colonial territory at France s
expense?
This question now is being asked
in all European diploma tic circles and
developments will be observed with
keen interest
What is certain is that a new and
close struggle for power in the Medi-
terranean basin has begun in earnest.
Great Britain and Italy want to divide
Abyssinia. Italy wants Tunis from
France. Spain wants Tangiers.
Threat to France Seen.
Practically all observers agree that
the recent Italo-Spanish treaty is a
direct threat to France, especially to
Frances communications with it's
North African empire. and hence to
this empire itself
Great Britain. which now controls
tiIe MeuIleIIdHedn Dy naval power
based on Gibraltar. Malta and the Suez
Canal and by the traditional policy of
divide and rule" poses as Spain's an
cfent friend. Great Britain disliked
the recent Franco-Spanish co-opera-
ton in Morocco, which now is abrupt-
ly threatened by the Italo-Spanish
treaty. Great Britain also owes Italv
something for Italy's help in bluffing
the Turks into accepting the MosuI
agreement
Demands Well Timed.
Both Spain and Italy, therefore, find
the occasion propitious for putting for
ward their demands. They are uncer.
tain just how much they can get, but
they mean to get something. The
whole question rests on how far
France is disposed to go in order to
conciliate them and how far they are
disposed to go toward wrecking the
Locarno agreements in order to ac.
complish their purpose.
