MANY FEEL ITALY
WILL NOT FIGHT
Capital Circles Believe II
Duce Will Not Take
Plunge Into War

WASHINGTON, May 2.-R-A
strong impression appeared to pre-
vail in government circles tonight
that Italy will refrain from taking
any immediate plunge into the
European war.
Sumner Welles, undersecretary
of state, gave some indications to
that effect after a conference at
the White House attended by Pres
ident Roosevelt, Prince Ascanio
Colonna, the Italian ambassador,
and Welles. Yesterday the United
States ambassador to Rome, Will
liam Phillips, conferred with Mus
| solini, and the latter was reported
to have given assurances that Italy
was not about to 60 to war.
Although Welles refused to say
anything definite about today's
conference, he did state in re-
! Spouse to questions that the state
department was not considering
warning Americans to leave Italy.
There are some 5000 Americans
in that country-more than there
are in Great Britain, Germany and
France combined-and it is believ-
ed that if the state department
thought var was imminent they
would be warned to leave.
In answer to a question, Welles
said the Italian ambassador had
requested t oday's conference.
There was some speculation as to
whether the United States govern
