Dobrudja, Bulgaria might be persuaded to come into line with the other Balkan States for the mutual protection of their com- mon interests.

Whether the sus picions, engendered by Musso- lini's boasted Intention to re- create the Roman Empire and his subsequent occupation of Albania, have been entirely for gotten is doubtful. But Italy's talks with Hungary, her own statements regarding her atti- tude towards any Soviet move into the Balkans, and her recent friendly gestures incline Ankara: to regard Rome as a factor for peace in the Balkans.
