ROME READY FOR HERR HITLER
Studied Display Of Pomp STEPS TO SAFEGUARD FUHRER TREATIES OR AGREEMENTS NOT EXPECTED (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright) (Received May 2, 9.40 p.m.) ROME, May 2. Rome is in a blaze of glory awaiting Herr Hitler’s arrival. The city has not known such a studied display of pomp or more feverish precautions to protect a visitor. Everything the ingenuity of the Italian and German secret police could devise has been done to safeguard the Fuhrer during his 1000-mile train journey. Madame Genevieve Tabouis, writing in The Sunday Referee, says that Herr Hitler has offered Signor Mussolini a military alliance, which Signor Mussolini will no longer want because of the Anglo-Italian Agreement, states a message from London. The Berlin correspondent of The Sunday Times says that an inspired statement says that no new treaties or agreements are likely to be negotiated during Herr Hitler’s visit to Rome. Germany has no intention of concluding a military pact as a reply to the Anglo-French arrangements.
