Agreement Welcome
London, Jan. 4.
Both French and German authori- lative spokesmen, and the press of both countries, welcome the Anglo- Italian agreement, which they des- cribe as "a gentlemen's agreement," and also a model understanding, in-. sofar as it tends to foster friendship without being directed against a third
power.
The opinion is expressed that its spirit reaches beyond the local sphere
of the Mediterranean.-Reuter.
