The Note states that the docu-> ments show that Italian military units are operating like "veritable army of occupation.” The Italian Government has -established in Spanish terri- tory its own public services for the use of its" military units.

Three Weddings Announced
A GREAT TRADITION The second cause is, gentlemen, the goodwill and the good sense of the Consular Body or in other words, gentlemen, of yourselves. Through- out the past sixteen months I have received nothing but extreme cour- tesy and consideration at your hands. Cordiality between the Consular Body and the Colonial Government is indeed traditional here and I am confident that the tradition will never be broken.
We know each other well enough not to pretend to ourselves here to-day that the
eep sea of inter-| national politics unruffled or its skies unclouded.
