elsewhere.

statement that hope rose sharply
that it would now be possible for
Mussolini to obtain by peaceable
negotiation the natural aSpira-

Frances expense, in the Mediter-

In pledging German Italian

of Great Britain and alluded to

dog that barks but never bites.
Goering confirmed that he would
confer with Mussolini before he
returned to Germany from his

"The Berlin-Rome axis is un-

statement. Germany will remain
beside Italy regardless of what
