Italy Sees Speech
AsAid in PRESSING
Demands on France
Hitler Pledge Likely to
Speed Presentation
Of Claims
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, Jan. 31.-Italy appeared
today to have gained new support
for colonial bargaining with France
from the speech of Chancellor
Hitler of Germany.
Italians considered their position
already strengthened by the Spanish
insurgent capture Of Barcelona with
Italian aid last Thursday.
Foreign observers and Italians
alike today believed the Reichstag
speech. in which Hitler promised
support to Italy if she were warred
against, would be an important
factor in the deliberations if and
when there is a showdown on the
Italian agitation for an adjustment
of the balance of power in the
Mediterranean.
Speech Hailed in Italy.
THE declarations concerning Italy
confirmed the unshakeability of
bonds between Italy and Germany"
said a statement emanating from
official quarters. 1t added that
Hitler's speech caused the best i'm
preston in government circles as
we'll as among the Italian people"
Hitler's speech. observers believed,
repaid Premier Mussolini for the
latter's bellicose oratory in behalf of
Germany during the Czecho- -Slovak
crisis last September.
Fascists said the German Chan
cellors words showed the Rome
Berlin axis was more solid than ever
and that it promised Justice for
Italy as we'll as Germany. Italian
newspapers interpreted his declara-
ton of support for Italy as tanta-
mount to a military alliance.
No Specific Endorsement.
Some diplomats believed Hitler's
promise would hasten the formal
presentation of Italian claims
against France. This question was
expected to be considered by the
Fascists Grand Council meeting
February f.
Foreign diplomats noted. never
theless, that Hitler did not speclf-
ically indorse Italy S natural aspira-
tons
The Italian press stressed Italy S
claims on Corcia by making public
an admission said to have been
made by Lafayette in 1881 that
Corsicans were italians by language
custom and literature" and that the
island ought to be ceded to Italy.

A Good Appointment

Judge Terry, resident judge

Mrs. Helen Boyer Harmonson
to the vacancy in the Smyrna
Special District School Board
to fill out the term of the late
Warner w. Price, has made
an excellent choice. For the
first time a woman has been
named on the Board. And
rightly so. We share the view
of many who have felt for
years a woman's advice and
influence would be helpful in
the administration of our
school. Mrs. Harmonson is
deeply interested in the cause
of education, knows the wo-
mans viewpoint and no doubt
will make an able and efficient
director.
