They had agreed to continue collabora tions in order to find an acceptable solution and assure Euro. pean peace for at least a generation.

He concluded: "I feel the spiritual change which has come over Rome."

The Anglo-Italian similarity of views was a feature in all the conversations, and, while the project is considered essentially Sig. Mussolar's plan as envisaged in his Turin speech, last Octo ber, If closely approximates the British point of view,

The "No force" agreement mentioned in the communique refers to the Five Power Agreement of December 12, 1932, which recalled Gerinary to the disarmament conference.
