Although no official statement has yet been issued concerning the programme of Signor Mus- solini's visit, it is affirmed that the climax of the. Duce's stay in the German capital will be the great Italo-German demonstration in the Stadium, in the course of which both Herr Hitler and Signor Mus- solini will make speeches.

It is believed that this sensa- tional political event will take place on September 28.

It is further believed that this day, in view of its importance, will be declared a public holiday.

A law is expected to be enacted beforehand providing for payment of wages to workers for the day.

Signor Mussolini will, it is ex- pected, spend three days in Berlin,
