No Territorial Ambitions But Red Rule Must End Geneva, Sept. 23.
It is understood that the first meeting of British, French and Italian naval experts, to determine modifications of the Nyon arrangement, will take place at Paris on Monday.
Meanwhile, interest here is centred on the talks between M. Yvon Delbos, the French Foreign Minister, and Signor Bovascoppa, Italian permanent delegate to the League of Nations, concerning Italian participation in the Mediterranean patrol.
It is reliably learned that the conversations hitherto have been most cordial and that considerable progress has been made towards an understanding.
The Italians are reported to be prepared to give the most emphatic assurances that they have no territorial ambitions in Spain and the Balearic Islands, and that they will withdraw all troops when the war is over, but they are determined to put an end to Red rule in Spain. It is believed that the difficulty may be any French stipulation that no further reinforcements be sent to Spain.—Reuter.
