But this is impossible owing to the attitude of Italy, which threatens to intervene if Austria falls into a revolution or attempts to unite with Germany or the Little Entente. It is stated that Signor Schanzer made this threat at the London Conference, when Mr. Lloyd George told him that it might mean
