was revealed he hopes to keep
Europe from separating into two
ca mps.
, If the international situation
permits, Mussolini will retire on
Monday next, to his castle at Ro
1 caca Della Cammjnate, to polish
■ off a project designed to bring an
atmosphere of peace, rather than
.; tension threatening war, to the
! continent.
The project will furnish a for
mula for consultation between
Germany, Italy and France. It
would be a modification of II
Duce’s old proposals for a four
power pact and would relieve in
ternational apprehension result
ing from the Austro-German ac
cord and indications of an Italo
German reapproachment.
II Duce sounded anything but
peaceful in his short speech to
celebrating Romans. In attempt
ing now to seize leadership of
the European diplomatic scene
the Associated Press was inform
ed that Mussolini has devised a
plan going back to the old idea
of hierarchy of great European
powers within the framework of
the league. The plan would re
quire Germany to return to the
league, but it was understood
that Soviet Russia would not be
included among the great powers
