ITALY TO STAY
OUT OF WAR
FOR PRESENT
Mussolini Says "Only
Facts" Will Break His
Self-Imposed Silence
On European War; To
Remain Non-Belliger"
ent.

ROME, May S.-(AP)-- Premier
Mussoini today told his fascist fol-
lowers celebrating Army and Empire
Day that "only facts" would break
his self imposed silence on the En-
ropcan war.
II Duce thus indicated clearly that
ltaly's non-belligerency remained
without change until some new de-
velopment in Europe's conflict plung-
ed this country into war.
MuSsolni referred to the declara-
ton Of the Italian empire four years
ago.
"A great day in the history of our
country was that of May 8, 1886" he
said. III was day of sunny victory.
after my speeches you must be-
come accustomed also to my silence.
Only facts will break it."
While MuSSOlini was addressing
his followers, fascist authorities in
dictated that Italy still is on the fence
waiting the right moment to jump
in and get what she wants in prestige
and more driving space.
Associates Of Premier Mussolini
emphasized that italian preparedness
for war did not mean necessarily that
Italy was entering the conflict soon.
