STRONG PROTEST
ITALY'S INTENTION
BRITISH MEMORANDUM
LONDON, January 24.
The "Morning Post's" Rome correspondent says that * Italy intends strongly to protest against the British memorandum to the League Council revealing that the British, French, Greek, Yugoslav, and Turkish Governments are pledged to . mutual assistance in the Mediterranean in the event of an attack, as outlined by Mr. Eden on January 22.
The Italian reply will assert that such precautions are uncalled for, especially in view of Signor Mussolini's repeated assurances that Italy has no intention of attacking Britain. Italy, it is declared, does not want to make the war between Italy and Abyssinia more than a colonial one and, in view of this, the possibility of an attack on the British Fleet is said to be ridiculously out of the question.
