Paris, To-day.

Speculation as to the real object of Air Mar- shal Balbo's visit to Paris is rife in all influential circles.

The Governor of Lybia declared on his arrival on Monday that he came as a “humble traveller" for quite private reasons,* but it is a noticeable fact that, although all Paris is talking about. this surprise, the mystery is deepened by Air Marshal Balbo's failure to depart by air for Rome at the time he himself had sti- pulated, namely Tuesday forenoon, for which change of plans no reason is given. ?

The Paris Midi hints that his stay has been prolonged by de- * liberations "exceeding in seriousness those of a private tourist." adding that talks have already taken places with the French Air Minister, General Denain, and also with Colonel Davet, the De- puty General and Chief of Staff of the Air Force.
