In Pursuit Of Policy
Mr. Chamberlain sold he hnd come to Rome in pursuit of the policy for which he stood, a polley of friendship with all and enmity with none, direct- ed to a just and peaceful solution of international dimculties by the method of negotiation.
He was happy to think that their two governments were able to givej concrete expression of this polley ini the Anglo-italien agreement.
After announcing "un one of the first fruits of the agreement," that the two governments had begun to ex- change military information, the Pre- mler added: "Convinced as we are that our interests in the Mediterrane- an, while vitally important to us both, yet in no way conflict one with an- other, we believe that the agreement hug opened a new chapter of friend- ship and confidence between
us, which should be fruitful for the future stabilly of Europe,"
He hoped that the two nations would co-operate in the task of securing the insting pence of Europe, and he concluried by toasting the King of Italy' and Emperor ofị Ethiopia, and prosperity to the Italian people.
