British Support of Plan

Well informed circles in London neither confirm nor deny the rumour current here that Mr. Anthony Eden, the British Foreign Secretary, may visit Rome to visit Sig. Mussolini.

In Rome it is understood that the meeting between the British Prime Minister, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, and the Italian Ambassador, Count Dino Grandi, may mark the frst step towards an Italo-British rap-brochement to include the revival of the Anglo-Italian Gentleman's Agreement in the Mediterranea, to appease French fears for her communications to North Africa and reassure the status quo, and also an accord between the two countries favouring the monarchical restoration in Spain with Don Juan ascending the throne.
