NEW FRANCO-GERMAN RAPPROCHEMENT FORECAST Discussion On Revised Situation Reported In Rome

FRANCE MUST RECOGNISE GERMANY'S DEMAND FOR RETURN OF MANDATES

PARIS, OCT. 26.

POLITICAL CIRCLES, EVEN MORE FIRMLY THAN THE NEWS-

PAPERS, BELIEVE THAT THE TALKS IN ROME BETWEEN THE DUCE AND HErr Joachim von ribbENTROP, German foreIGN MINISTER, WILL NOT BE LIMITED TO THE CZECHO-SLOVAKIAN- HUNGARIAN DISPUTE, BUT WILL Also incluDE A SURVEY OF THE FUTURE RELATIONS OF THE POWERS BELONGING TO THE ROME-BERLIN AXIS TOWARDS BRITAIN AND FRANCE.

IT IS BELIEVED THAT IN GERMANY THE QUESTION, TO WHAT EXTENT A GERMAN-FRENCH RAPPROCHEMENT IS COM- PATIBLE WITH THE BERLIN-ROME AXIS, HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY DEBATED. IT IS NOT BELIEVED THAT ITALY WILL RAISE ANY OBJECTIONS BECAUSE, PARALLEL WITH THE FRANCO-GERMAN RE-ORIENTATION, WILL RUN A CLARIFICATION. OF THE ITALO-

FRENCH RELATIONS.

In Paris, and above all in circles usually considered very well informed, the - future of German-French relations is regarded with high optimism. It is believed that the outcome of the Senatorial elections strengthened M. Daladier in his policy of terminating the Franco-Soviet Pact and, in its place, to enter into closer relations with Germany.

It is believed that at the very least there will be, in the near future, a relaxation of the tension between the two states, which will eventually lead to an agreement.

It is clearly recognised that this would mean that the German demand for a return of the mandates would have to be dealt with.

It is, as yet not possible to ascer- tain whether conversations on this topic have

ntrendy taken place through the usual diplomatic chan- nels, and whether any results have

quarters been attained.
