"War Promise" To Italy

DISCREPANCY IS REGARDED AS SIGNIFICANT

BERLIN, JAN 31.

A DISCREPANCY between the semi-official English translation of Herr Hitler's speech and the official Gorman language text of his own words, left diplomatic quarters doubtful to-day regarding the extent to which Horr Hitler com- mitted himself to support Signor Mussolini's "aspirations".

The translation said that Germany would be on Italy's side "in a war of rival ideologies waged against the Italy of to-day", but the official text said only that "in a war against the Italy of to-day", Germany would support Italy, omitting the important qualification of an ideological war.

The Propaganda Ministry spokesman said the discrepancy was due to the translation, but there are speculations as to whether or not the phrase about war ideologies was not purposely inserted so as to provide that if Great Britain aided France in an Italian-

French conflict, Germany would hasten to Italy's aid, at the same time providing Germany with the means of avoiding any interven- tion if France and Italy alone are involved.

Officials refused to interpret Herr Hitler's words.-United
