FASCIST GRAND COUNCIL
SPEECH BY MUSSOLINI. A BRIEF COMMUNIQUE EXPECTED. Received Feb. 5, 7.5 p.m. ROME, Feb. 4. The Grand Fascist Council met at the Palazzo at 9 p.m., local time,. under the presidency of Signor Mussolini. Hundreds outside cheered the members as they arrived. The Duce's personal bodyguard occupied the entrances to the palace. Well-informed circles do not anticipate a sensational speech in view ot the curb unofficially applied from Germany upon Signor Mussolini's possible exuberance, which probably would be increased by General Gambara's claim that Italian troops were solely responsible for the capture of Gerona. A brief communique is expected about 3 a.m. The Supreme Defence Council meets on Monday in order to examine the Spanish situation. It is probable that Signor Mussolini will reserve his principal utterances until after that. A later message states that the Council continued after midnight.
