OBSTACLE OF COLONIAL POLICY OVERCOME

Rome, Jan. 6.
It is authoritatively stated that Signor Mussolini of Italy and M. Laval of France have agreed upon the terms of a general consultative pact, which will be open to signature by other nations. The terms of the Pact, which includes an agreement for the preservation of Austria's independence, have already been forwarded to London and Berlin, says the United Press.
The conversations lasted from 10 until one o'clock, and the Austrian independence question was definitely settled, semi-official sources state. However, differences still exist between the two nations respecting Franco- Italian colonial relations. It is hoped that these will be smoothed out to-morrow.-Reuter.
