NAZI-FASCIST ARMED PACT AUTOMATIC IN ITS EFFECT Revealed at Rome, However, That Mussolini Consented To Such a Rigid Alliance Only After Hitlfer Promised Peaceful Settlement With Poland; Britain Seeking Aid of Moslem World Homo. May 17.- Premier Beni to Mussolini consented to an "au tomatic offensive and defensive" military alliance with Germany only after Fuehrer Adolf Hitler promised to make every effort to obtain a peaceful settlement of his dispute with Poland, it was re ported reliably tonight. Disclosure that the alliance, which will he signed formally in Berlin next Monday with extrava gant ceremony, will bring I he Ital ian and German armed forces to gether "automatically" in an of fensive as well as a defensive war came' as a sharp surprise to for ei.tyj diplomats, particularly the British. Even after announcement in days ago at Milan that the two to talitarian powers had agreed to convert the lioine-Herliu axis iuto an outright military alliance, many British observers still clung to hopes that the relationship be tween the two dictators had not been changed materially and that an opportunity still might lie found to wean Italy away from Germany. New Menace The revelation, by excellently Informed diplomats that Italy and Germany will light together if either country becomes involved in war, either by its own initiative ' or in defense, gave an entirely new menace to the pact, however. It, goes considerably further than originally was announced at Milan by Ciano and Ribhentrop on May 7, they admitted. The Milan \ annonwement had indicated it wiitf to be primarily a defensive past designed to thwart the Anglo French "Peace Front" against Nazi-Fascist aggression. II Du.ce was understood to have stressed tluU it would !><? difficult for him to whip up the Italian peo ple to any enthusiasm for a war with Poland in which Italy would have no direct interest and against a country with whom Italian rela tions have been on a friendly ba sis. Hitler was said by an important foreign diplomat to have agreed to this condition, saying he was in no hurry to obtain satisfaction of his demands on Poland and that he was confident that the Berlin Warsaw dispute as well as Italy's "natural aspiration" demands on France could be settled without hostilities. .

These 21 nations, spread across Europe and through the Jsfear Bast, would be as one in opposi tion to any Nazi-Fascist aggres sion and would insure British and French empire communications in the eastern Mediterranean and Red Sea. * RKPORT OX AXMAI, slUli SAI.K tOlt CHIPPLED CHILDREX The following report has been furnished the FRANKLIN TIMES: | "The final collections have re cently been made on our yearly campaign to aid cripple children in Franklin County.
