Paris Press Comment

Paris, Jan. 6.

The belief that if Italy were to show bad faith, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, British Prime Minister, would show himself to be sterner than Mr. Anthony Eden, former British Foreign Secretary, is expressed in "Lo Figaro" today in discussing Mr. Chamberlain's visit to Rome.

"Describing him as a man without illusions and as religiously loyal, the paper says Mr. Chamberlain will go a long way to appease Italy, but, in the event of any failure on Italy's part to keep her word, he will feel obliged, by the pressure of British and American public opinion, to take firm stand.—Reuter.
