ITALIAN PLAN
WHEN SPANISH WAR ENDS SOLDIERS TO REMAIN? TROOPS TO WORK AS LABOUR CORPS 5Rv Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright] (Independent Cable Service.) Received Feb. 16, 1 a.m. PARIS, Feb. 15. Observers see the possibility that Signor Mussolini will keep an army in Spain at the end of the war by turning it into a “civilian labour corps.’* This links up with the formation of the Societa del Mediterraneo to build roads, railways and water plants in Spain, in connection with which the supply of Italian labour to General Franco is an important point. The general plan is to demobilise the troops and then immediately form the labour corps, storing their arms at strategic points and making them subject to the same discipline as the army.
