TRADE DISCUSSIONS
BRITAIN AND ITALY RESUMPTION IN PROSPECT. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 9.50 a.m.) RUGBY, April 29. A very friendly discussion took place when the Italian Ambassador, Signor Giuseppe Bastianini, called on Viscount Halifax on Friday, the main object being to consider a resumption of economic negotiations between the two countries. It is hoped that later officials will be sent to Rome to continue the negotiations suspended last February. It is impossible to divorce the question of contraband from any war time discussions dealing with trade between belligerent and non-belligerent countries, but Britain is anxious to meet any point of difficulty which Italy can reasonably bring to her notice.
