CLEAR HINT TO ITALY

Paris, To-day.

Poland was represented by General Sirkarski and M. Zaleski, and Norway by M. Bachke, the Norwegian Minis- ter in Paris.

There was a general exchange of views, Con all political and, military problems requiring the close atten- tion of the Allied Governments at

timely fulfilment of undertakings by the Allies and the common defence of their interests against any hostile action.

New Decisions.

The impression in authori-present in order to ensure due and tative circles here is that the wide exchange of views at the latest meetings of the Supreme War Council will play a role of capital import- ance in the conduct and de- velopment of the war.

Reference in the official communi- que to the fulfilment of undertakings of the Allies and to common defence of their Interests, la interpreted: in Parla as clear evidence that "Britain and France are vigilantly watching their interests In the Mediterranean; |are.ready-to face any adverse action, and will on no account be taken by surprise.

Importance is attached in the same circles to the presence of a Norwegian representative at the Council-Reuter.

General Sirkorski assured the Coun- cil of the determination with which the Polish Government, ́ ́Army and people would continue the struggle with all their resources which are at this moment in process of active re- organisation and development.

The Council expressed great appre- ciation of the spirit inspiring these efforts and welcomed the effective contribution Poland is making to the common cause.

Norway's Heroism:

M. Paul Reynaud, Mr. Neville Chamberlain and General Sirkorski invited M. Bachke to express to his Government their admiration for the heroic resistance to the invader by the people of Norway under the in- spiring leadership of King Haakon.

M. Bachke conveyed the thanks of his. Government for the speed and effectiveness of the help given Nor- way by the Allied Governments.
