Rome, Sept. 19.
Signor Benito Mussolini's Wpeech in Trieste, urging plebiscites to solve the Czech problem, is generally interpreted here as an indication that Italy will side with Germany in any general war, though it is not clear at what point her benevolent neutrality might develop into armed intervention.
Nevertheless, Ti Duce's desire for a peaceful solution of the Czech problem is stressed, and the speech is described as a sober contribution to an ultimate settlement.—Reuter.
