London, Dee. 7 — The Franco-German Declaration

Signed in Paris yesterday, was the subject of discussion between British and French Ministers when Mr. Neville Chamberlain, the Prime Minister, visited Paris recently, states Reuters Diplomatic Correspondent.

It is understood that the ministers were in complete accord with regard to the sighing of the Agreement.

SPecIAL TO th "No."

Rome, Der. 7.

Despite anti-French demonstrations in Rome and other cities, newspapers give the impression that the tension regarding Tunis is a trifle easier.

In a demonstration yesterday when hundreds of students marched towards the Frehch Embassy shoüting "Tunis, Tunis," and demonstrated outside the offices of the Fascist Party, the Secretary of the Party, Signor Achille Starace, declared: "Fascists still have accounts to settle, which will be settled. One day, Italy's claims will be met."

The tone of the address is reported to have been extremely violent.

Students, however, gave the apabie of enjoying an "authorized lark" rather than having serious political designs.

They were as eager to shout complimehts to pretty shopgirls standing at their shop windows as they were to cry "Down with France!"

The spectators also appeared to be indifferent, The organized character of the demonstrations is shown by the fact that the "Tribuna" announced them before-hand.

Students in Milan, Turin and Genoa held similar demonstrations before the French Consulates, and distributed leaflets—Reuter.
