ITALY GIVEN FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Chamberlain’s Recent Speech
LONDON, December 15.
The Rome correspondent of “The Times” says that the real sense of Mr. Chamberlain’s speech at the Foreign Press dinner slips out in today’s Press comments.
. Evidently, with M. Bonnot’s declaration of French aid to Britain' in an emergency, it has provided food for thought. *lt is believed that Signor Mussolini will continue to remain silent, leaving the matter of his territorial claims in the Mediterranean to be ventilated during Mr. Chamberlain’s visit.
Tile utility of the Press.campaign is apparent since it has elicited important statements on the Mediterranean from Britain and France without committing Italy.
