Anglo-Italian Exchange Of Notes Gives Cause For Higher Hopes
London, Aug. 3.
The exchange of letters between Mr. Neville Chamberlain, British Prime Minister, and Signor Benito Mussolini, the Italian Dictator, has created a new atmosphere in Anglo-Italian relations, it is hoped in London. But Reuter understands that no commit- ments have been made on either side.
No details of any understanding have been discussed and the various plans outlined in the Press are merely hypothetical and pure conjecture; without any actual basis, It is learned.
Following Mr. Anthony Eden's references to the Mediter- ranean situation in the House of Commons, Count Dino Grandi, Italian Ambassador, entled on the Foreign Minister, and then went to see Mr. Chamberlain. He communicated to the Prime Minister the friendly message from Signor Mussolini.

With her passengers and a crew of three the big plane hopped from Quayaquil for the Panama port of Balboa yesterday. She was reported missing last night.

Mr. Chamberlain then replled with an autographed letter of a personal nature, couched in friendly, general terms, to which Signor Mussolini replied in the same strain. This is the history of the correspondence.
The correspondence has no direct bearing either on the Non-Interven- tion Committee's deliberations, the Locarno Pact, the Ethiopian question or other specie matters, but it is believed the personal exchange will serve to dispel mutual suspicion and may be interpreted as indicating that the British and Italian Govern- ments coneur in their views on the Mediterranean situation, in the man- ner defined by the Foreign Secretary, Mr. Eden, in the House of Commons on July 30,
QUESTION OF DETAIL
and
It is hoped that any question of detail with respect to British Italian interests in the Mediterranean and elsewhere may be solved by frank discussions between Rome and London,
It is widely felt In British poll- tical circles that a favourable oppor- tunity now offers for bullding upon the existing close and cordial Anglo- French relationship and the im- relations between Rome and London, as a complement to those between Paris and London, and that such steps should appease the general European tension.- Reuter.
