Sir Eric Drummond, ex-Secretary-General of the League, now British Ambassador to Italy, was closeted with Signor Mussolini for half an hour this afternoon.

French and German representatives have also been in contact with the Italians.
All appear to be agreed that little definite progress in disarmament discussions is possible until proposals have been received from Germany.-Reuter.
