SPAIN, GREECE, EGYPT DISCUSSED AT ROME
AXIS LAYS OUT A NEW BLUEPRINT OF EUROPE
By REYNOLDS PACKARD
UNITED PRESS STAFF CORRESPONDENT
ROME, Sept. 19 (UP).—The first blueprint of the axis plan for a new order in Europe, based on Italian occupation of Egypt and German occupation of the British Isles within the next several weeks is reliably stated to have been drafted by Mussolini and Ribbentrop,
This first draft is believed to be very wide-reaching. It envisages problems in southeastern Europe such as the Albanian aspirations in Greece and Yugo-slavia as well as Spanish claims on Gibraltar.
A meeting between Hitler and Mussolini in the near future is foreseen in many political quar-
tera.
Official quarters declined to give the slightest hint regarding the | Mussolini-Ribbentrop conference ex- Tecpt to may It was "of vast import."
Ofelais also discredited all reports on the possibility of a new axis peace proposal.
One responsible Italian spokesman in this connection told me "We will be fighting until the last drop of blood if necessary. There is no question of peace affers any more-only the surrender of the enemy."
