EXAMINATION FOR COMMISSIONS

DICTATORS

TO MEET

AXIS POLICY CONFERENCE.

LUNDON, Mar. 1 (Reuter)

A meeting between Herr Hitler and Signor Mussolini, probably In North Italy; near Brenner, is unofficially forecast by Berlin correspondents." The reason is stated to be the need for a review of the axis policy in consequence of the recent changes in Europe. Germany is credited with being disappointed at

the results of 'Count Ciano's visit to Poland, which, apart from a îne bag when hunting yesterday, are thought in Berlin, to be negligible. Political circles seem even less concerned over the anti-German demonstra tions in Poland than with the ballet that Count Ciano signally failed to cecure any sort of assurance from M. Beck, the Polish Foreign Minis- war in which ter, in case of a France is involved,

The effect of this el:cumstance on Italy's Mediterranean policy is held to justify a dictators' con- ference on general polley.
