GERMANY RESERVED
REPORT OF VAN ZEELAND
SYMPATHY IN ITALY
(Received January 29, 2.20 p.m.) LONDON, January 28.
/The Berlin correspondent of "The Times" states that the Government reserves its i comment on the Van Zee j' land report, pointing out that it is primarily a Franco-British .document, in which Germany had no part. Moderate quarters seem not displeased with the report but the newspapers are hardly optimistic of any results.
. The Rome correspondent of "The Times" says that the tendency in Fascist circles is to decry the report, as the- author is a democrat sponsored by democratic Powers. Nevertheless, commercial opinion is inclined to be sympathetic, as the report offers a means of obtaining credits which are vitally necessary, as Abyssinia and Spain are slowly sucking Italy's capital dry. There is also a strong feeling that the pursuit of self-sufficiency has been: pushed over-far, driving up prices and causing widespread hardship. These considerations may lead to Mussolini's viewing the Van Zeeland report more attentively. ,
