PACT ON GERMAN
ARMS CURB SEEN
Rome, Paris Also Declared
In Accord ON Austrian
Independence.
NJ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
BARI, Italy, September 6.-Italy
and France have reached an accord
for common action to prevent the
rearmament Of Germany. 1t was stated
here today by French delegates to the
Levantine fair.
It also was stated that the nations
have come to q complete agreement
on the question Of Austrian independ-
ence, and have pledged themselves to
take common action against the Nazis.
French sources said that another
phase Of the agreement is that Italy
renounces her rearmament policy.
It was added that Italy will join
France In her fight to keep German
armaments at the level prescribed by
the treaty Of Versailles. 1t was pointed
out. however, that this was not to be
interpreted as remuneration of an
Italian impression that the peace
treaty could be revised.
Formal Announcement Expected.
The French delegates said the ac-
cord had been reached August 81, and
that as a result a trip by Louis Bar
thou, French foreign minister to Rome,
is possible. It was said formal an
nouncement of the accord would be
made at the end of Barthou's con-
ferences at the Italian capital
A new declaration "of the necessity
of aiding the Danubian countries COM
mercially" also was said to have been
reached by Italy and France, but the
methods of extending such aid were
understood still to be open for dis
cussion.
The French, who heretofore felt they
could not depend upon italian friend
ship, now say they are convinced an
entente is possible.
Other ticklish questions, such as
problems of naval parity and con-
fiict Of interests in Tunis and Libya,
were said to have been left open for
solf-solution after re-establishment OF
o cordial atmosphere.
The accord was said to have been
reached after conversations between
Premier Mussolini and Ambassador de
Chambrun, French envoy to Rome.
MussoIjni Opens Fair.
Premier Mussolini, escorted to this
southern port by warships, opened the
celebrated fair and started vigorous
Italian drive to capture Asiatic
markets.
A hundred thousand persons cheered
enthusiastically, and in the harbor
three destroyers and a cruiser doomed
salutes as II Duce inaugurated the
elaborate exposition.
He proceeded to the fair grounds
with an escort Of thousands of soldiers
and black-shirted militia.
While making an inspection tour
Mussolini received two disagreeable
surprises. He found the gates OF the
German pavilion closed and q few
moments later discovered that Yugo-
slayia also had failed to send exhinits.
Oficials explained that both coun-
tries. after arranging to be repre-
sented. had changed their minds at
the last minute.
There are exhibits by manufactur-
ers of numerous nations, but the ex-
position is largely a show OF Italian
enterprise in extending trade through
cut the Mediterranean Basin and the
lands east of the Suez.
