Mussolini's Olive Branch

THE unexpected move of II Duct

shine which has penetrated
through the overcast political sky ol
Europe in many months.
The two latin countries have been
at loggerheads since the end of the
World War, although there was nc
real cause for it. They were suspi-
cious of each other and this suspicion
was soon translated into hatred.
Both the French and the italians
are super-sensitive, and, like it hap
pens in the life of individuals, they
had little regard for the others
susceptibility.
The Quai d'Orsay and the Italian
foreign office, admitted privately thai
the dispute over some North African
territory was hardly worth quarrel;
neither was the question Of naval
paAty sufficiently important to divide
these two neighbors. And when Mus
solini sided with the Germans advo-
eating the revision Of the Vezsailles
treaty the breach between France and
Italy seemed complete. s46
