ROME, March l3.-Italy is ready
to enter new pact, guaranteeing
Western European peace, a Fascist
official said tonight.
But, he declared. occurrences such
as Germany's remilitarization of the
Rhineland and Frances mutual as
slstanCe pact with Russia must be
taken into account.
The statement was made as an out
line Of the tenor" of the Italian
note to Great Britain Yesterday, re-
plying 10 Britain's proposal for q new
Western European security treaty to
replace the Locarno pact.
That aereement-under which Brit
ain, France, Germany, Italy and Bel
gum undertook to maintain Western
European peece-waS made ineffective
ov Germany's Rhineland remihtariza-
ton. Germany submitted similar
reply to Britain yesterday. In author
itative London quarters the opinion
uas expressed that both Italy and
Germany would refuse to join in a
security pact unless France scrapped
her military alliance with Russia.
The Italian note-handed to Sir
Eric Drummond, British Ambassador
to Rome, yesterday-had not yet been
made public, but the Fascist official
outlined Italys position thus:
!. italy is ready to enter into new
agreement on the lines of the old Lo-
earno. which would be of "indubitable
service" to peace.
g. The new treaty should recognize
however, that new realities" and
-changed conditions" exist. His ref
erence was to the Rhineland coup and
the Franco Russian pact.
3. The new treaty should be simple
and of ready application, establish
Ing precisely the obligations OF the
signatories.
4. Italy is ready to guarantee Bel
gums integrity and independence. to
the same extent that Britain. France
and Germany do so.
(Tn Paris French official sources
said renewed Fasclst-Nasi thrusts at
the Frsnco-Sovet pact would meet
with little success, although Socialist
Premier Leon Blum was reported will
fng to let Franco Russian relations
cool somewhat If that would please
Reichsfuehrer Hitler.)
