Hope To Bridge Gap Between Two Widely Separated Camps
London, Nov. 28.
One of the main points in the forthcoming Anglo- French discussions, to which British circles attach capital importance, will be an endeavour to bring the Berlin- Rome axis nearer harmony with the Franco-British relationship, Reuter learns.
The highest authorities emphasise that the meeting will not be the occasion for announcing any change in the fundamentals of British policy, nor will the French be asked to amend their policy, as for example that which affects the Franco-Soviet Pact. London is gratified that Germany well understands the reasons. for the Franco- British meeting, and as Britain does not desire to in- fluence the Rome-Berlin axis, so Germany is not attempt-
ing to modify the Franco-British special relationship.
