Vital Issues May
Be Raised In Conversations
Rome, To-day.
The unweakening of the Berlin-Rome axis has been revealed by the Mussolini-Hitler conversations, according to officials on both sides.
A somewhat anxious note, however, may be dis- cerned in this reassurance. While the Italians as a whole received news of the anschluss with alarm, well-informed Italian quarters claim that it has not diminished the strategical posi- tion on the Brenner Pass, especially if Hitler keeps his word not to fortify the Austrian side of the frontier.

It is pointed out that events since the last meeting of the two dicta- tors have strengthened Italy's hand, and instead of Italy going hat in hand to Germany to ask for support in the Mediterranean, Germany has now come with a steel helmet on her-head-to-ask-for-Italy's-acquies- cence in Central Europe.

There is no confirmation of the rumour that the German demands for colonies were also discussed, and the subject is scrupulously ignored in the Italian press.
