Geneva, May 30.
Diplomatic contact was established recently between Rome and Moscow through the good offices of Germany, the "Nouvelle Gazette de Zurich" announced today.
The paper added that Italy asked Soviet Russia to give assurances that she would not intervene in the Mediterranean should Italy be engaged in parts of that sea.
The contact was lately broken off, following which the Italian press started a discussion of the Dardanclles question.
Moscow stressed that Italy should have no interest in this problem while Russia, on the contrary, '$ very much concerned in it and must take steps to safeguard her interests in the event of an extension of the Europ-can conflict to this region.—Havas.
