Proceeding along these lines the speech was suddenly cut off from the Berlin end. Correspondents are at a loss to explain the occurrence. Il Duce Mussolini made a sig- nificant statement in declaring that “Nations contemplating the addition of new territory do not think in terms of days or weeks but of decades”. Mussolini has demanded French Africa terri- tories and France has been ada- mant against its donation. Meanwhile Prime Minister Chamberlain of England electri- fied the world by declaring that states on the western end of Germany and Austria have a right to their independence. An- nouncements of military coali- tions between France, England, Russia and the small] states such as Rumania, Yugoslavia and Po- land were made. un- THANKS TO A. R. P.
