AXIS LEADERS
MILITARY CONFERENCE
MEETING IN NORTH ITALY
LONDON, July 20
Hitler and Mussolini met yesterday in a town in northern Italy, and discussed what are described as "military questions." This is all Berlin has had to say about it.
Usually, such meetings are followed by some high-flown phrases about what took place, and' it is added, that the talks took place in an atmosphere of great cordiality. The only trimmings of this sort about. the new meeting have been supplied by the diplomatic correspondent of the German official news agency. He tries to make out that what he calls "the laconic nature" of the communique represents, a further impressive reply to the AngloAmerican attempt to shift military operations against Italy to the political field.
Another Berlin correspondent adds: "The situation in the Mediterranean presumably took first place at. the conference, and was no doubt discussed in a sober and matter-of-fact spirit devoid of any delusions." This meeting was very well timed as far as Mussolini was concerned, for he was out of Rome on the very day Allied bombers paid their visit.
