ITALIAN OUTBURST
PAPER VEHEMENTLY ATTACKS FRANCE ANTICIPATIONS IN PARIS. AN INTENSIFIED CAMPAIGN. By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright. LONDON, January 14. The Italian newspaper “11 Tevere” today reopened vehement attacks on France. “The French insulted and attempted to intimidate Italy,” it says. “The provocations can be settled in due time. We detest France profoundly. We intend to solve the problem between France and Italy.” ■ French newspapers, while praising Mr Chamberlain’s stand against the Italian viewpoint, expressed anxiety regarding what are described as abortive discussions.
Official French circles are satisfied that the Rome conversations strikingly demonstrated Anglo-French solidarity. It is considered that the visit was useful through informing Mr Chamberlain exactly of Signor Mussolini’s aims. It is thought that Italy, backed by Germany, will intensify her campaign against France in coming weeks, probably/increasing international tension to the point of a crisis.
The representative 'of the British United'Press in Rome, however, says that an authoritative French source declares that Signor Mussolini assured Mr Chamberlain that he did not envisage any hostilities with France.
