Clarification Of Axis Policy: Berlin On Duce's Speech

Berlin, To-day.

Mussolini's Rome speech is regarded in Berlin as a further important contribution towards clari- fying the policy of the Rome-Berlin Axis. When Il Duce emphasised the need for a long period of peace, it is pointed out, he was reiterating views frequently expressed by Herr Hitler.

Mussolini left no doubt about↑ the inviolability of the Axis, that it was unaffected by recent events in Central Europe, and that his warning of what would follow success of the British at- tempt to accomplish the encircle- ment of Germany was anticipated. As for colonial questions, in the opinion of Berlin, Mussolini has made himself clear to France. and it is for France to reply.
