ROME NOT IMPRKSSKD
Rome, Jan. 30%. The impression made in political circles here by Mr. Anthony Eden's declaration on Tuesday evening in the House of Commons is char- acterized as "unfavourabie,"
His intentional distinction be tween Governments and countries: awakened little enthusiasm and. his comments on the Meditċpran- ean agreement are subject to out- spoken criticisen.
Italy had interpreted the agree- 'ment as giving her the right to in- | tervene in the event ́of a Soviet- State being formed in Catalonia, and Mr. Eden's address is regarded. as containing a denial of this
right. It is pointed out that Mos-
