While the British policy of mark- ing time in hopes that Mussolini will follow up his latest assurances by setting definite date for the with- drawal of Italian troops from Spain is favourably viewed, some political circles here are speculating whether the assurances are merely intended to provide Mussolini with a breath- ing space while consolidating his position in Albania.
These circles incline to the belief that Mussolini may next extend his "protective" influence to Macedonia, where they see the possibility of a "fifth coluran" doing the ipadework,

Paris, Apr. 12. It is expected that M.

Both the declaration and military and naval measures have been com- nunicated to the British Government. Some cncern has been aroused in French circles by the suggestion to diplomalle correspondents in Paris by the new Spanish Ambassador, in which to indicated that a return to Hormal Franco-Spanish relations, presumably meaning repatriation of Italian troops from Spain, depended upon the loyal execution of the Berard agreement.
Another message states that while for exact number of important mill- tary and naval measures approved by the Council of Ministers to-day is not revealed, it is understood that they are most important, and sim at ensuring close co-operation between the Brilish and French Beets, especially in the Mediterranean area. ---Router.
