ITALY'S CLAIMS ON FRANCE
TO BE PRESSED AFTER FALL OF CATALONIA BACKING BY GERMANY IU.P.A.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyrightl (Received 23th January, 9.0 a.m.) LONDON, 22nd January. The Rome correspondent of the British United Press says that well-informed circles are of the opinion that, immediately after the subjugation of Catalonia, Signor Mussolini, backed by Herr Hitler, will demand satisfaction from France, which, under British advice, will capitulate in preference to fighting. Signor Mussolini’s spearheads will be the Pyrenees, Libya, the Franco-Italian frontier, Jibuti and Sardinia. A crisis can be expected in March or April, adds the correspondent.
The semi-official Rome newspaper “Relazioni Intcrnazionali” declares that France’s failure to fulfil Italy’s demands will plunge Europe into a terrible war.
