ITALIAN EFFORT TO NULLIFY ALL EFFORTS LIKELY

Russian Press Makes Outspoken Appeal

Moscow, Oct. 31.

Russia, through its Press, has warned the world against permitting Italy to nullify the efforts of the Brussels conference.

Pravda says: "Italy, with the help of her associates, and counting on the toleration of the bourgeois and democratic powers, undoubtedly will try to make the conference a new, edition of the Non-Intervention Committee."

Izvestia observes: "At present there is no reason to expect the Brussels edition to be any better than the London one, which only served the aggressors' aims. While the bourgeois governments do not decide to take practical action against military aggression, the con- ferences will prevent only different varieties of fruitless, but partly harmful talks."
