Italy wants the Axe


 Italy Wants the Axe
 Milan, April 4.--(EP) .-Italy hopes surgery will not be neces. sary in the European situation but if surgery is indicated, Italy wants the axe to be the operative instru. ment. an editorial in Premier Mussoiiuis newspaper Popolo D.. Italia, said today. The editorial was sequel to one written by Mus. solini in which ne demanded strong united action by Great Britain, France and Italy. It was believed that this one, also, was written by II Ouce.
 Events are proceeding at un- usual speed in the field of foreign politics" said the editorial. Why? Because beyond the frontiers any bias against fascism has been dropped and 1t has been possible to transfuse fascist blood into the veins of international diplomacy. 'Genevaism' Ca reference to the League of Nations) constitutes a triumph for a medical system of plastcrs, ointmcnts and soothing connections. It Is the horrible medicine of senility or pseudo youth which, if capable of pre- serving mummies, also kills strong men or weakens them into in- valids. The transmission of fascist blood into the decayed organism of international politics Is begin- ming to have it's result.
 "First. Germany has revealed herself for what she is.
 Secondly, France now apprc- ciates Italy's friendship. Thirdly, Great Britain is sound ing the mind of continental Eu- rope.
 ''Are we going to resort to sur gery? Let us hope we shall not need to. At any rate one can be assured 1t will be blunt, radical surgery.
 "We have but one instrument which is worth all surgical instru- ments: The axe."

IAke old War Alliance

London. April 4.--(UP).--Eu- rope will move toward peace with militar. alliance of the sort that led up to the World war, 1t was indicated today. As Anthony Eden. British cabinet envoy, started back to London after visits to Moscow. Warsaw and Prague, to report to the cabinet probably at an extraor- dinary meeting tomorrow, the project seemed to be for:
 i. An alliance comprising France, Russia and Czechoslovakia pledging mutual military aid against an aggressor.
 2. An effort to convert this al- liance into an instrument of real peace by toning down its military provisions, putting more respon- sibility on the League of Nations, and thus bringing into it Germany, Poland, Roumania, Esthonia, Lat via and Lithuania.
 With Eden's arrival here to- night, the government-which has l taken the lead in negotiations since Germany precipitated the l arms crisis-wtll have the views of 10 countries on the situation: it's own and those of France. Italy, Germany, Russia, Poland, Czecho- slovakia, Dumania. Jugoslavia and Turkey. Views of Austria, Bulgaria ; and Hungary will be known through consultation among lega- tions.
 It was expected that. after Eden reported, basis would be laid for the Stresa conference April II.
