After a state banquet which ‘Sig. Miuissolini gave, the dinner guests filed into the adjacent ballroom, where more than 1700 guests were assembled. Mr. Chamberlain entered and mingled with the guests. Next came ' Sig. Mussolini, Count Ciano and his wife, who is the Duce’s daughter. As Mr. Chamberlain chatted, Sig. Mussolini, unduly serious, and his son-in-law went to 2 corner and remained there for a long time, deep in conversation. Finally, Mr. Chamberlain joined Sig. Mussolini and: Count Ciano. Then Premier Mussolini's mood became lighter, and he burst occasionally - into laughter in which Mr. Chamberlain joined,

_ “Negotiation” Vs. “Justice” Some diplomats thought that Mr. Chamberlain spoke rather pointedly in his brief response to his host's toast at the state dinner,

“I have come here in pursuit of the policy for which I stand—a policy of friendship with all and enmity with none, a policy directed to the just and peaceful solution of international difficulties by the * method of negotiation,” Mr. Cham- ~ perlain said. Big Mussolini, in his own speech, gpoke in the most friendly manner of Mr, Chamberlain and Great Britain. Italy, Premier Mussolini said, “has always believed in peace based on justice, which has been and is the final goal which the policy of fascist Italy has aimed at and is aiming to achieve.” Mr. Chamberlain sealed the agreement under which Great Britain recognized the conquest of Ethopia when he pledged a toast to “His Majesty the King of Italy and Emperor of Ethiopia.”

- ‘By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, Jan, 12—7T yday, in Rome, Britain's Prime Mi ister Chamberlain is engaged in epic battle with Sig. Mussolini fo: the peace of Western Europe. The odds ‘appear to be in his favor. « Behind in their armament sc hedules, Britain and France are piaying for time. For an entirely dif ferent reason, the Nazi war gd Is pelieved disposed : to let nem have it. ; Fuehrer Hitler is said against war between Italy france this spring or summe: choice of a battleground Eastern Europe.

Hitler Holds Key .

What Herr Hitler says goes. initiative is in his hands. would not dare start a war, France over Tunisia, Corsica the control of the Mediterr: without the help of Germany. Britain would inevitable con to defend her own interests. Not only most of the sign. most of the logic, are against many giving the go- -ahead for a war which would pi against Britain and France & time. Later on, perhaps, bu now. Despite Nazi boasts that Ge is ready for such a conflic truth is that while she ha: equipment and the men, she does not have the immense amotio of food and raw material need d to win a war. Britain and France may not be exactly ready to engage in a .argescale war themselves, but ev:n so they are exceedingly dangerou; enemies, and nobody knows this ‘better than Herr Hitler. They have 1 way of hanging on and refusing to auit, even when suffering defeats, si Germany would hardly dare take them on now. Hitler Looks to East

The remedy for his present han|dicaps, according to Herr Hiller, is to be found in Eastern Europ: If Germany can squeeze-play Rumania and Hungary into her econoniic orbit, and add the Ukraine i® her sphere of influence, she ough! soon to be in a position to defy all Xurope —including Britain and Franc. She would have all the foodstufi: and raw materials she needs. She ‘ould then be sufficiently self-con! ained to risk a long war. Such a move in Eastern Rutope— if she left Poland alonée— might be comparatively easy. Certainly, on its face, it would be far safe: than a thrust at Western Europe, which would bring the Reich into c:ilision with Britain and France arc risk serious repercussions in ter :peramental, unpredictable America. A push eastward probably would mean war with the Soviet [/nion. But experts are of the opinici. that Russia has shot so many of her military, agricultural, industrial and transportation leaders ‘in th last few years that she would collapse from within soon after the ou break of war with a major foreign nower. If that did not happen, there is always Japan, in the Far East, Awaiting her chance. Nevertheless, Mussolini apparently is very much in earnest in his

NAZIS PROTEST

SHOTS LAID TO HOLLAND JEWS

Rebel Claim Capture of Agramunt as Loyalists Increase Armies.

BERLIN, Jan. 12 (U. P.)~—The Nazi Foreign Office mouthpiece Diplomatic Political Correspondence today warned Holland that ‘“tolerance toward destructive Jewish influence” might endanger the “specially guarded neutrality” of the Netherlands. Meanwhile, responding to the tra= ditional New Year's greeting of the diplomatic corps, Fuehrer Hitler disclosed that the results of the Munich conference justify the hope that Europe’s leaders may in future succeed in giving Europe & just peace, Climaxing a Nazi press attack on Jews as a result of the alleged firing of shots at German diplomatic buildings at Amsterdam and the Hague, the Diplomatic Political Correspondence said that the Dutch Government must guard the safety of German diplomats or endanger relations between the two nations.

“Holland must seriously consider whether responsibility for generosity and tolerance toward destructive Jewish influence shall continue to be borne when it leads, as it did in this case, to endangering official German representatives, the Foreign office organ said. Key Nazi publicity media, taking it for granted that the shots in Holland had been fired by Jews, intimated that further reprisals ggainst Jews would be taken at once if any German diplomat was harmed, and at the same time demanded that Holland curb activities of “Jewish criniinals.” Jews Blamed A Propaganda Ministry spokesman had ‘asserted last night that on Jan. 6 a shot was fired into the living room of the Chancellor of the German Consulate at Amsterdam, and that on Jan. 9 a shot was fired into a secretary’s room at the German Legation at The Hague. Nazi newspapers intensified their attacks on President Roosevelt today with dispatches from the United states reporting that he faced growing opposition. The official news agency, the Deutsches Nachrichiten Bureau, disseminated a dispatch under the headline: * ‘Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt are dangerous radicals’; evidence on growing anti-Semitism in the United States; constérnation and excitement at ‘Washington Justice Committee.” The reference was to a meeting of the Senate Judiciary Committee on the nomination of Felix Frankfurter to be a Supreme Court Justice. Herr Hitler spoke in reply to the Rt. Rev.. Msgr. Cesare Orsenigo, Papal Nuncio, who spoke for the diplomats as dean of the corps. “The German nation remembers with deep gratitude that 1938 brought our nation fulfillment of its inalienable right to self determination.

Denounce Shooting AMSTERDAM, Jan. 12 (U. P)— Germany protested to the Dutch Foreign Ministry today in connec= tion with shots fired into the study of Baron Von Putlizt, counsellor of

the Legation at The Hague, and into the home of the chancellor of the German Consulate at Amsterdam. Both were unoccupied at the

time of the shooting.

All Dutch newspapers denounced the shootings. Amstérdam police said’ ‘the shots fired hére apparently were from a small bore air gun. Guards at Legation and Consulate were doubled.

Loyalists Order Full ‘Mobilization HENDAYE, Jan. 12 (U. P.)—

Rebel advices today reported that. Rebel troops in Catalonia had

‘broken the Loyalist mountain de-

fense ‘line and captured Agramunt —opening ‘the road to Cervera and Barcelona. The Loyalist Government meanwhile was issuing drastic new mobilization decrees pufting ‘virtually every able-bodied man in the defense lines. On the south wing of their Catalan offensive Rebels claimed to have driven Loyalists from. Montblanch in a thrust that came within 18 miles of the Mediterranean city of Tarragona. The Loyalists reported further progress in -their drive in the BEstremadura ' country in the southwest. Their conimuniques indicated that the Reébels, by rushing reinforcements from Africa and possibly from thé Catalonian front, had slowed the Loyalist advance westward but that the government troops continued to gain ground to north and south of their lines.
