Ciano Is Told

Of Germany's Peace Terms

Negotiations between Count Clano, Italian Foreign Minister, and the German Government are being held in Berlin with the apparent purpose of aligning the new developmenta between the Relch and Soviet with the Axls policy and of formulating bases on which Signor Mussetial can propose peace terms at the instigation of Herr Hitler.

These terms are reported to include Hitler's resignation . from the Chancellorship.

Interest attaches to Italy's reaction since she has frequently announced claims for fuller representalion in the Mediterranean but is also believed to desire neutrality in the present conflet. British comment on the Russo-German proposal to discard Poland from the peace agenda and cease hostilities in the west, continues to be bitter and to affirm that the downfall of Hitlerism is the first condition to any peace between the Allles and Germany,
