PROSPECT OF SUCCESS Atmosphere Clearing MUSSOLINI’S OPINION. (Aus. & N.Z. Cable Assn.) ROME, June 8. Signor Mussolini, speaking in the S' nate on the occasion of initiating the Fact, said that despite changes, the Fact remained faithful to the spirit of the first draft, and would have high spiritual value. It was not directed against any Fewer, and did not constitut" a united front against revision of treaties campaign developing in certain quarters. “It is useless to deny that since the War there has be' n an adaption of treaties, though enveloped in difficu - ties graver than would have existed in an atmosphere of greater confidence. It has taken long to agree on Ai tide Three, concerning disarmament. If Germany- was constrain'd to remain cteri.ally disarmed midst a Europe armed to the teeth, the recognition of parity rights would be ironical The Fact is an honest document and considers the interests of all. Britain realised its possibilities from the beginning. Italy and Britain, owing to the position of the balance, accomplished a’special function', according to Locarno, which now finds a now expression. The Fact creates a better atmosphere, enabling the liquidation of questions separating France and Italy, and France and Germany, and guarantees ton years* peace.’’ CONFERENCE ADJOURNS. (Aus. & N.Z.
