Lausanne Conference

AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION. LAUSANNE, Nov 21. It is understood the Brussels Economic Conference has been fixed for 15th December. Turks liavii demanded when the Straits question is considered that other Governments vitally interested who are not represented at Lausanne

shall be invited. The Allies intimated they do not object to those Powers participating, but they had not replied to an invitation to do so. Mussolini interviewed, said as a result of conversations with Lord (Jorison and M. Poincare lie could say the Entente was actually and lie hoped United States would also co-operate ill the work of reconstruction of Europe, which could only he clone by all nations working together. Commercial treaties must above all and before all. be signed as the first stop to this end. MUSSOLINI'S VIEWS. (Received this dav at 11.30 a.m.) PARIS, Nov 22. The “Matin’s” Lausanne correspondent interviewed Mussolini, who said France had every right to he dissatisfied with the peace. I'lie wai was not carried to its natural conclusion. Tiie Frenich ought to have finished up in Berlin .and the Italians in Vienna and Budapest. The Allies now realised there was little chance of oblaming what was due to them. The situation was ilisquieteiiing for both Francs and Italy. Thore was a German Hood at Italy's frontier. 'I he Tyro! was no more, than a geographical expression. France might lie driven at any lime to obtain the fulfilment of her just demands. If she acted against the opinion of the majority of the Powers she would have before her Gel many, and behind Germany, Russia. Ihe Near Fast was animated by Bolshevik madness which was attracting Germany,

hungry for revenge, to Clrtm vinisni and Bolshevism, whose aggressive forces were growing wonderfully. Only if the Powers entered into close unity could they resist these forces. Jta.ly s alliance with France must come under three heads. Firstly, a close economic agreement providing for exchange of manufacturers and natural pio<l lilts; .secondly a military entente enabling them to moot any eventuality; i lordly, a political entente, wliereunder they would take the same attitude oil all questions ill European capitals.
