WANTED BACK
LANDS GIVEN TO ITALY
Rec. 10 a.m
SAN FRANCISCO, May 2. The victims of Mussolini's lust for empire have raised the question of recovering the lands which they ceded Italy in her heyday. The Egyptian Foreign Minister, Abdul Ham id Badawi Pasha, said that Egypt will demand the return of Jarabub in Cyrenaica which she ceded to Italy "under heavy diplomatic pressure by Mussolini in 1930."
France, it is believed, will revive the question of the territorial grants which Laval gave Mussolini in 1935 in an effort to buy Italian good will. These include a huge triangle of the African desert south of Libya, the western edge of French Somaliland, and 20 per cent, of the French-owned Djibouti-Addis Ababa railway.
