New York, Apr. 21. Il Duce's address in Rome yesterday is interpreted by-the "New York Times" as a proof of Herr Hitler' predominance over the Rome-Berlin axis.
Ti Duce's mention of "geographical errors", the journal says is possibly a new way of presenting their familiar demands and their statement that they are prisones within their limited resources and that they must expand to the detriment of others."—Havas.
