Madrid, Feb. 20. Great enthusiasm has been aroused throughout Spain by the fact that the new Prime Minister, Senor Azana, has promised an amnesty for 30,000 political prisoners or exiles concerned in the abor- tive revolt of 1934.
The Prime Minister an- nounced that this would be the first task of Parliament when it opens on March 16, -Reutor'a Bulletin Service.
Sir Samuel Hoare had occasion more than once last Autumn in reply to retrospective Italian complainia of dilatoriness, to refer to enquirie the Government had set on foot which had been overtaken by events Including the Italian resort to war in disregard of the League Covenant.
The conclusions of the committee, which now have been published in Italy, have in fact been reflected in statements of the Foreign Secretary and his predecessor in the House of Commons and were to the effect that the British interests in Ethiopia are limited to those the existence of which has been often of admitted by Italy, and in respect which the Italian Government's as- surances have been fully accepted by British Government.-British Wire.
