LEAGUE MANDATES

REVISION WANTED.

ITALIAN PRESS DEMANDS. IT ALO--GR EEK AIJJ AN OE. OV CABLE- PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. Received 9.30 a.m. to-day. ROME. Dee. 30. With significant unanimity the Italian Press is demanding a revision of the mandates awarded by the League of Nations, presumably as a means of drawing attention to the need for outlets for surplus Italians, but some express the opinion that it is part of a plan for marshalling Italy’s grievances for bartering in the forthcoming ltalo-French discussions. The “Gurriera del Lasera” talks o: remedying mandate injustice, and suggests an international conference to discuss Italy’s claims to the same rights as Britain and France. The “Petit Parisien” learns that Signor Mussolini has no intention of drawing up such a bartering programme, because all are international problems. The “Daily Telegraph’s” Rome correspondent- understands that recent conversations between Signor Musso lini and M. Michulacopoulos, the Greek Foreign Minister, were an important prelude to an alliance between Rome and Athens on the questions of Balkan policy.
