ITALIAN FUTURE
DEPENDENT ON POWERS BRITAIN AND PRANCE INFLUENCE OF GERMANY .MAY "BURN ALL BOATS" (Eloc. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. Oct. 13, 9 a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 12.
Mr. Vernon Bartlett, writing in the News-Chronicle, says that weil-.n-formed circles declare that unless Signor Mussolini is able to announce by October 18 that France is recognising the Italian conquest of Abyssinia and Britain is ratifying the Anglo-
Italian pact, he will burn all his boats on which he might otherwise have retreated from 'too close co-opcraii >n with Germany.
Prominent officials in Rome admit that the Spanish venture lias been a complete failure, the Czech crisis revealing the danger of spreading military strength.
It is argued that if Britain does not drive too hard a bargain over the quantity and quality of the withdrawal of Italian troops, Signor Mussolini will order all homeward as quickly as dignity allows.
