Rome, Oct. 29.
Signor Mussolini's "peace terms," as indicated in his speech to a crowd of 200,000 in the Mussolini Forum here yesterday at the beginning of the 16th year, is regarded by political observers as outlining a joint policy on the Rome-Berlin axis.
The speech, it is considered, draws a vell from the results of his talks with Herr Hitler.
The condition that "Bolshevism must be eliminated from Europe" is interpreted to mean that Italy will not withdraw her volunteers from Spain until General Franco is assured of victory.
The condition that Italy must be left alone in Abyssinia is taken to mean that the annexation of Abys-sinza must be recognized and marks Italy's counterpart in support for German's colonial demands. "A great people like Germany," said Signor Mussolini, "must have its right place in the world."
Both these conditions were thus being addressed over the heads of Duces audience to Whitehall—
