The British view is that this probably is unnecessary, but Downing Street is in no way opposed to reference of the matier at Geneva. Well-inform- i ed circles summed up the situation i to-day by declaring that the Press, j for oiicc had served-a most useful i purpose. The wide publicity j through Europe at the week-end en- j tirely knocked the bottom out of | Mussolini's little game and remov- | ed the danger of a rapid flare-up. 1 It has forced Mussolirii to realise j the danger of going too far .
