SPANISH VENTURE
ADMISSION OF FAILURE ALLEGEDLY MADE IN ROME. SIGNOR MUSSOLINI’S PLANS. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. LONDON, October 12. Vernon Bartlett, writing in the “News Chronicle,” says that well-in-formed circles declare that, unless Sig-, nor Mussolini is able to announce on October 18 that France is recognising the Abyssinian conquest and Britain ratifying the Anglo-Italian pact, he will burn all the boats on which he might otherwise have retreated from too close co-operation with Germany. Prominent officials in Rome admit that the Spanish venture is a complete failure, the Czech crisis revealing the danger of spreading military strength. It is argued that, if Britain does not drive too hard a bargain over the quantify and quality of the withdrawals, Signor Mussolini will order all Italians in Spain to come home as quickly as dignity allows.
