FOUR-POWER PACT

ACCEPTED IN PRINCIPLE PEACE SPIRIT ATTAINED. BULWARK AGAINST COMMUNISM LONDON, April It. The British United Press’ Rome correspondent says that it is learned in authoritative quaiters here that the Four-Power Paet is now accepted in principle by the Powers concerned— Britain, France, Italy and Germany. Signor Mussolini has never been insistent on the actual wording of the pact, but has emphasised in his speeches in the Senate and the Chamber that real peace will come when it pervades the wills of the nations. This spirit seems heie to have been attained among tho four great Powers. It is expected that France's dealing with the Little Entente and Poland will overcome the oppos.tion, since Uie peace spirit is prevailing. A new addition to the gathering of Statesmen is the Austrian Chancellor, Herr Dollfuss, who has arrived by a>r, and will bo received by Signor Mussolini. According to Vienna reports, he is anxious to ascertain the conditions under which Italy will return part of the South Tyrol territory ceded to Italy after the War. It is also believed here that Signor Mussolini, Herr Dolifuss, Herr von Papon and Captain Goering will seek to establish their respective countries as a bulwark against Communism.
