Planes take 01 f in mass flights one is most ambitious Ever undertaken were forced Bac k monday to hold Paris conference British people pessimistic Hitler to seek Equality of strength London Jan. 1c. Up prime minister Neville Chamberlain left for Rome today to visit Premier Benito in Solini and in All probability to learn the Fate of his policy of european diplomatic appeasement. The prime minister and Viscount Halifax foreign Secretary will hold a Tea table conference at Paris this afternoon with French Premier edouard Daladier and foreign minister Georges Bonnet to discuss chamberlains program for Rome. Chamberlain and Halifax will continue on to Rome this evening to arrive tomorrow afternoon and be greeted by Mussolini. Just before Chamberlain left Victoria station this morning unemployed persons demonstrated there with their famous Black coffin on which is painted a the died of hunger 1938,�?� and shouted a appease the unemployed not this delegation was sufficient Evi Lenco of the importance which was attached to the prime ministers visit. The augury however was an unhappy one. British people were pessimistic As to the outcome. They approved Chamberlain s determination to visit Mussolini but Only because it was one More Effort to get euro get off the Road toward War. They had Little Hope that it would succeed. As Chamberlain left Adolf Hitler had just announced his intention of seeking Equality of strength in submarines with the British Navy. Mussolini a fascist troops were fighting alongside the Spanish nationalists in a Gigantic War offensive timed to coincide with Chamberlain s visit and impress him with the inevitability of an insurgent Victory. Italian newspapers closely controlled by Mussolini were clamouring for con c Arsiona from France. The general expectation was that Italy a demands on France yet to be formulated officially would bring the next european diplomatic Sensa tion. However in i it Ndon the Spanish civil War was regarded As the most important feature of the chamber lain Mussolini visit. British people expected Mussolini to be even More unyielding in his demands for an Early Spanish nationalist Victory because of the present offensive. It was said authoritatively Here that Chamberlain would refuse firmly to agree to recognizing the nationalists As belligerents until Mussolini withdrew his troops from Spain. One reason Why this situation was now important Here was that hitlers demand for More submarines brought Home to britons what had worried the French for two years the possibility that a nationalist Victory in Spain to which the a upper classes a in great Britain never have been averse might leave Germany and Italy with submarine and air plane bases in Spain and Spanish posses Somo members of the Indiana legislature seem to be of the opinion that Money they might appropriate grows on Trees Back Home and that All they have to do is to make the appropriation and there it is.
