HOSTILITY IN ITALY.
FANTASTIC RUMOURS RIFE. BRITAIN AND SANCTIONS. United Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, December' 22. The Rome correspondent of “The Times” says the appointment is taken as further unmistakable evidence of Britain’s deliberate hostility to Italian ambitions and policy. For months Mr Eden has been upheld to almost daily obliquy by the Press. Almost no rumour is considered too fantastic to be promulgated as an illustration of his supposed animosity to Italy and his alleged personal difference with Signor Mussolini. The "appointment is inevitably interpreted as meaning that Britain is more deeply than eyer committed to sanctions, and it is regarded as shattering any hopes of an early compromise peace. Further uneasiness has been aroused by the British soundings of Mediterranean States about possible help if the fleet is attacked.
