It is also stated that a similar announcement has been made by the Italian Ambassador in London. Political circles here stress that the conditions stipulated by Ger- many for her re-entry into the non-intervention committee have been fulfilled but that the date on which she will resume active co-operation has not yet been definitely fixed.
WESTERN PACT
It is generally held here that the return of Germany and Italy to the non-intervention committee has primarily been made possible by the absence of the Soviet from the London deliberations.
There is a natural tendency to connect the four-Power agreement with the forthcom- ing visit to London of the Ger- man Foreign Minister, Baron von Neurath.
that frequent opportunities are provided for exchanges of views between British statesmen and their French colleagues.
This opinion was stated in con- nection with the interest aroused. here over the forthcoming visit to London of the German Foreign Minister, Baron von Neurath.
All the British newspapers comment on the visit.
The "Daily Telegraph" re- calls that it is eighteen months since Baron von Neurath was last in London, when he attend- ed the funeral of King George V as German representative.
The journal says that the fact that Baron von Neurath has just returned from a journey to Yugo- Slavia, Bulgaria and Hungary, in- creases the interest with which British political circles look for- ward to his impending visit to Lon- don.

Added to this, Britain has to give an answer to the Dominions in the matter of extending her Continental commitments.
BRITAIN'S INITIATIVE
Messages from Rome reveal that great interest has been stirred up there by Baron von Neurath's visit, though the newspapers state that it will not affect the Rome-Berlin axis.
Announcement of the visit, however, has helped to ease the tension between London and Rome.
ITALIAN VIEW
In view of the fact that Britain' has taken the lead in tackling the Spanish problem as well as in deli- berating with respect to a Western Pact, it may be supposed that the'l The "Giornale d'Italia” says that experiences she has gained in deal-fany sudden change in German ing with the Spanish problem will foreign policy is out of the ques- be made use of in tackling the tion as Italy is tied down to those problem of a Western Pact.

Britain, however, is one the Powers that have enabled the Soviet to play a role on the European stage behind the mask of collective security on the superficial assumption of Soviet alliances being in line with the Locarno policy.
