Fascist Party Glamour... HOME, June 2 (UP). The National Council of the Fascist Party last night summoned Mussolini to achieve "Italy's independence upon the seas."
The Italian Cabinet convenes.on Tuesdiny and the Fascist Grand Council will hold another session on Tuesday morning.
The fateful decision may then be taken. although some observers be- love that Mussolini may merely in- form his Fascist collaborators of a decision
already taken.

The newspapers in Rome give prominence to-day to despatches im- plying that Spain and possibly Rumania are ready to cast in their lot with the axis.
