"Germany and Italy are firmly resolved to oppose the establishment of Bolshevism in Spain," declared Gen- | eral Hermann Goering, German Minister of Aviation, in a statement to the Italian Press upon his arrival at Capri for a few days' holiday. Germany and Italy held the same ideals and opinions, and the same system of authority and order, he said. He denied that Italy had attempted to influence Germany to abandon her present policy towards Spain, declaring that the two countries were still pursuing the same policy.

General Goering added that the present Berlin-Rome harmony would be further strengthened by continuous contacts and the joint examination of all problems.

The Rome correspondent o£ "The Times" says Italian acceptance of the British proposals for the control of volunteers to Spain is regarded as certain, but it is believed both Italy and German, insist that control shall be exercised only by the four great Western Powers, cxcludirrg Russia.
