So heated were the differences between the Italians and the Russians, It was feared the incident might lead to a break in diplomatic relations, if not to actual armed conflict. Great Britain, Russia and France went right ahead with their plans for the conference. British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden was instructed, however, to make no proposals which would tend to divide tiie Mediterranean powers into Fasgroups. It was cist and believed he would propose that merchant ships be allowed a naval convoy through the danger zones. Britain, one of the chief sufferers from the submarine attacks on shipping, was embarrassed shortly before the conference was to begin when a Spanish insurgent cruiser (Italy is known to be aiding the insurgents) commandeered a British merchantman off Palermo, Sicily, and confiscated her cargo of Russian oil consigned to the Spanish loyalist government. st anti-Fasci- st sions, were successful in holding 3odd and Hull Disagree back 60,000 Japanese; it was said RY THE time this is printed Wil-- u to be the severest opposition the liam E.

He charged that the two major wars now going on (the and the Spanish civil wars) were the result of attempts to spread communism. The Reichsfeuhrers speech was read to the Nazi party congress in Nuremberg while he sat on the platform. It could not have been better timed in view of the current friction between Italy and Soviet Russia over submarine piracy in the MediSino-Japane- se terranean. Germany and Italy's community of interests have emerged in recent months, he said, more and more an element in the defense of Europe against chaotic imbecility, His manifesto continued: Our agreement with Japan serves the same fundamental mission to stand together in defense of world civilization. because the tread is scientifically designed.
