Renew Demands

Italy's firm insistence on u. new deal from France in the Mediter- ranean was proclaimed the same time by the weekly review of foreign affairs. Relatzioni 1n- ternationali.

The magazine said the visit of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain Jan. 11-14 to Rome did not change Italy's objectives “by a single centimetre."

Mussolini described es “non- sense" a rumor the Vatican had advised the French to "stand firm" a ainst. Fascist cries for Fretgtoh, and remarked

an

Ii Duce said foreign anti-Fas- cists who expected his regime to be troubled by famine did not know Italy. He said Fasclsm's enemies had been dismayed by two good Italian harvests of 298,870.- 870 bushels of wheat.

Nobody could say with certainty that Italy would have a. third big harvest this year, the Premier said. but he promised- a fixed wheat price of about the equivalent of $2.15 a bushel.

Taking a jocular attitude. Mus- solini said that if he told his listeners of the “childish specu- lation. slanderous fantasies and ridiculous hopes of Fascisnfs ad- versaries" their laughter. "despite the Alps." would shatter the win- dows of "western metropolises."
