ITALO-GERMAN ALLIANCE HELD UP AS "MODEL:" THREATENING LANGUAGE
Rome, To-day. No recourse has been had to complicated formulas in the drafting of the Italo-German military pact, according to "Giornale d'Italia," which claims to be in a position to state that the new alliance will comprise a Preamble and six or seven Articles defining the common directives to be adopted by the two Allies.
Italy and Germany, says the semi-official Italian or- gan, favour simple and plain language in build- ing up an effective system of reciprocal guar- antees.
These will take form of consul- tations, mutual and immediate as- sistance, perfect solidarity in war and peace, understanding for and protection of mutual interests, that is to say, of their living space.
This alliance, the Italian paper goes on to say is the outcome the Anglo-French policy of encir- clement, which with its military al- liances is directed exclusively against the Axis Powers.
