MUSSOLINI IMPLORES

TO MODIFY HIS PROPOSALS Italy May Enter War on Nazis' INSIDE STORY OF THE

Side In The Near Future

SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH"

18 NEW YORK, Mar. (Domei)-Italy's entry in- to the war on the side of Germany is stated by "in- fluential quarters" in Berlin to have formed one of the chief topics of the Brenner talks.

It is stated that as a result of the conversations between Hitler and Musso- lini, the following possibili- tics now loom high:

1.-Italy will enter the war on the side of Germany, nccording to circumstances.

2.-Extension of the Rome- Berlin Totalitarian Axis to Mos-

cow.

It is ever believed possible that the formation of a tripartite rap- prochement between Russia, Ger- many and Italy will take definite shape by the end of the week.

STOCKHOLM, Mar. 18 (UP). -Russia's first move after win- ning the war against Finland has

been to withdraw her objections to the previous re-fortification of the Aaland Jslands.

This was revealed to-day by a spokesman of the Swedish Foreign Office, who also indicated that Russia had promised that she has no further territorial demands in northwest Europe.

The assurance, If an honest one, Norway and guarantees the safety Sweden from Russian invasion.

BRENNER CONFERENCE

SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH"

ROME, MARCH 18 (UP),—IT NOW APPEARS, ACCORDING TO HIGH VATICAN SOURCES, THAT MUSSOLINI WENT TO BRENNER FOR HIS SURPRISE MEETING WITH HITLER WITH THE OBJECT OF PERSUADING THE NAZI DICTATOR TO CLIMB DOWN IN HIS PEACE DEMANDS WHICH HE HAD MADE PREVIOUSLY TO MR. SUMNER WELLES.

It is also believed that Mussolini to some extent succeeded in his quest as, after the vital conference, II Duce emerged from the private rail- way carriage where the talks took place, in a cheerful mood, while Hitler appeared stern and contemplativo.

NAZI CONCESSIONS BELIEVED POSSIBLE

At any rate, it is generally believed that Mussolini still sees hopes of keeping- alive the spark of peace stirred by Mr. Welles' visit to Europe.

One Vatican informant went so far as to declare that following the Brenner talks "it is believed that the Germans will make further concessions in their peace proposals."

However no indication is given how much further Hitler will go. INFLUENCED BY VATICAN

for

His original demands peace made to Mr. Sumner Welles were openly scoffed at in London and Paris, and Mr. Welles was so convinced that they could not provide any basis for discussion between the belli- gerents that he informed Musso- lini of his feelings.
