ROME, January 18.-The possibility
of a far-reaching accord to guaran-
tee European territorial integrity, was
reported today in informed Fascist
circles, following the conferences be-
tween Premier Mussolini and Her.
mann Goering, Nazi air minister. The
pact is considered a forerunner to
Germany's return to the League OF

Goering left for Naples this morn

While Goering was en- route to Naples,
German Ambassador Ulrich Won Has
sci left by train for Berlin to report
the results of the conversations per-
sonally to Chancellor Hitler.
The importance of these results was
indicated by Won Hassel's making the
trip himself rather than entrusting
them to telegraphic code.

He was expected to report to Eden
on his conversation with Ciano which
was understood to have dealt with
Goering's visit and the Italian reply
to the latest British request to halt
