EUROPE PEACE HOPE FADES Mussolini's Speech Shocks Geneva

BELLIGERENCE LIKELY TO HURRY ARMS RACE

(SPECIAL TO "TELEGRAPH")

London, Aug. 31..

Hopes that the conference of the Locarno Treaty signatories, next October, can achieve consolidation of a European peace agreement have dwindled, due to Signor Benito Mussolini's warlike speech yesterday, which is expected to strengthen Great Britain's determination to accelerate rearmament.

·Signor Mussolini's statement that he was able to mobilise 8,000,000 men is not likely to reassure Great Britain, whose position in the Mediterranean he is challenging.

Also the reference to dubious political combinations is regarded as a reference to the French mutual assistance pact with Russia, and hence indicates Italy's solidarity with Germany.
