Italy Watches

ON FRIENDSHIP
Italians Say Lost

Restored.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ROME, September 16-Just how
Great Britain may react If Germany
tries to win back the Memel territory
from Lithuania was viewed with in
terest by oficial Italy today.
A government spokesman explained
that, while Italy, in general, was in
different to yesterdays speech by
Reichsfuehrer Hitler, in which he
mentioned an increasing German
anxiety concerning Memel. she was
interested in observing what Great
Britain's reaction may be.
The spokesman said it now would
be significant to observe whether
Great Britain would pursue her same
policy of fidelity to League Of Ma
tions principles in the face Of Hitler's
pronouncement of interest in Memel.
Faces Inconsistency Charge.
An official source said that if Great
Britain is not to lay herself open
to the accusation of inconsistency, she
must oppose German designs on
League territory with the
same firmness that she has displayed
toward Italy's East African policy.
A warning to France that if she
casts aside Italy's friendship now ovel
the Italo- Ethiopian conflict she ma,
never regain it, was delivered by the
authoritative newspaper. La Stampa
of Turin.
Since La Stampa is often chosen
because Of its geographical location
for governmental statements intended
for France, particular importance wa,
attributed to the warning by govern
ment circles.
January 7 Talks Recalled.
The newspaper said: 1T is oppor.
tune to recall to M. Laval that Janu-
ary he and Mussolini aimed at lay
ing the foundations Of a friendship
not destined to vacillate for argumen-
tative or idealistic motives.
IF this laborious effort must be
interrupted it cannot be reundertaken
The prospect of unforeseen develop.
ments on other fronts would not con.
vince us, since reality has proved to
us that a colonial conflict which could
be localized gives rise 10 a most abb
surd combination"
Italian officials, meanwhile. studied
the text of Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler's
address last night to the Reichstag
at Nuremberg.
The unofficial reaction to the speech
was favorable, on the grounds that
Germany's chancellor had declared
the Third Reich's neutrality inN the
Italo- Ethiopian conflict and had also
disclaimed aggressive intentions toward
Austria
British Are Accused.
An assertion in the newspaper Voce
Dell'Italia regarding alleged British
backing Of concentration by hostile
Senussite tribesmen on the borders
of Italy's North African possession OF
Libya created q deep impression in
capital circles.
This weeks heavy troop movements
which began yesterday with the de-
parture of $4,000 troops-the largest
single days departure yet registered
were to continue for the rest of the
month in an effort to get Italy's forces
fully modified in East Africa simul-
taneously with the end of the rainy
season
The total of troops sent out on regu-
lar transports to the East African
colonies mounted to $4,000. Counting
the 10000 workmen and about $4,000
troops, sent on coastal ships and tramp
steamers, Italy has already dispatched
more than 200, 900 men to East Africa
