ITALIAN FAILURE
THE VENTURE IN SPAIN
SPREADING OF STRENGTH
DANGER REVEALED

LONDON, October 12.
Mr. Vernon Bartlett, writing in the "News Chronicle," says that wellinformed circles declares that, unless Signor Mussolini is able to announce on October 18 that France is recognising the Abyssinian conquest and that Britain is ratifying the Anglo-Italian pact, he will burn all the boats on which he might otherwise have retreated from Loo close co-operation with Germany.
Prominent officials in Rome admit that the Spanish venture is a complete failure, the Czech crisis revealing the danger of spreading the military strength.
It is argued that if Britain does not drive too hard a bargain over the quantity and quality of the withdrawals. Signor Mussolini will order all Italians in Spain to come home as quickly as dignity allows.
