 It is believed that Il Duce's de- mands are so excessive that they will be rejected by Britai n and France. thus affording MuSsolini an excuse to plunge into the war on Germany'S side.
 It was presumed that Mussolini will demand the section of South eastern France that once belonged to Italy, the Island of Corsica. the French terrotories of Tunisia and Djibouti, joint control of the Suez Canal and perhaps other conces- siOns.
 The terms suggested have been demanded by the controlled Italian press at various times in the past two years.
