SIGNOR MUSSOLINI'S

ANXIETY REGARDING FUTURE OF TRIESTE

Rome, To-day.

It is believed that Signor Mussolini and Herr Hitler had a further exchange of views yesterday afternoon, though German circles deny that a formal meeting was held.

The economic future of Trieste is believed to have

been among the matters discussed.

Italy is anxious that Trieste's position be continued as before the anschluss, namely the principal outlet to the sea for Austria and Central Europe, but the tendencies of German policy have alarmed business circles in Trieste.

One is a tendency to divert trade

to Hamburg, and a second is the possibility of putting diplomatic pressure on Czecho-Slovakia by plac- ing difficulties in the way of transit trade to Trieste.

RUSSIAN INTERVENTION In addition, the Italian shipping monopoly in the Adriatic is dis- turbed by the tendency which can already be observed for Germany to develop her own shipping services serving Trieste.

• two leaders of the Opposition, Mr. Attlee and Sir Archibald Sinclair. With the politicians they talked of the purpose of the cause for which they had suffered.

Maybe the most tragic widow in the the procession was Mrs. A. Men-

nell, of Junction-road, Highgate.

Only two months ago her hus- bånd fell at Teruel.

Tragedy Of Four Months With me, writes a reporter, they talked of the tragedy and agony which the Spanish war has meant to them:

Mrs. R. Addley, of Folkestone, was the first to whom I spoke.

Once Mr. and Mrs. Addley were happy enough.

He struggled to start a small restaurant in Folkestone. His wife worked with him, side by side.

But Mr. Addley had Principles. When the Spanish war began, he was disturbed. He looked at his wife and four children. He didn't like to leave them, but he felt he ought to go.

An Insurgent bullet smashed out his life.

Mrs. Addley tried to carry on, failed. She moved to London, took a job to support her children.

And there she was.

"I can't believe he'll never, never come back," she said. "I miss him -oh, you don't know how much! I've had to find a job. I'm a nurse now. But sometimes I can't believe it all."

Almost at the end of the proces sion was a middle-aged woman, dressed in black.

"Yes," she said, "I've lost my man. I don't know quite what's going to happen now. But I'm here to-day because my husband gave his life for something he believed in, right or wrong. I'm trying to stand by him though..he's gone- and that's what we're all doing." | She looked hopelessly around her.

"I wonder whether we can do anything?" she said. "But why should this have happened to us? We're not at war with anyone.

"Poor things!"" She said. “Poor things! It isn't their fault.”

"We're having a hard struggle,” she said. "Since my husband was killed everything has gone wrong. And hurried away to meet her But Tony-he's my little son—is 'boy-friend.
