ECONOMIC REPORT.
FEELING IN GERMANY. ITALIAN ATTITUDE. (Times Cables.) LONDON, Jan. 28. The Berlin correspondent of the Times says that Government reserves comment on M. Van Zeeland’s economic report, pointing out that it is primarily a Franco-British document m which Germany had no part. Moderate quarters do not seem displeased with the report, but. the newspapers are hardly optimistic of any results. The Rome correspondent of the Times states that the tendency in Fascist circles is to decry the report as the author is a democrat and it is sponsored by the democratic Powers. Nevertheless, commercial opinion is inclined to lie 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 selfsufficiency has been pushed too far, driving up prices and causing widespread hardship. These considerations may lead Signor Mussolini to view M. Van Zeeland’s report more attentively.
