Th dispsteh ef th aot to Italy foN
lowed a series of informal conversation ,
that had been ia progress for several
wssks between officials of th Stat De-
girtment and - th - Italian smbsssy,
arly in th dourss pf th nsgotistion '
between tht entente powers prellminsry
to the Hythe conference between Pre
mier Lloyd-Gsorge and Millerand. th
Italian government hsd mad it knowa
that under ao circumstances would tt
be resdy to enter Into any snean-emont
ti go to war with Soviet Bussi. .
Having thus by its owa act excluded
itself from psrtielpstioa ia the Hvtb
conference, the Italian government was
said to bar naturally turned towards
America as ths ons great powsr asso
ciated with Italy ia th wsr which hsd .
not psrtlcipated la th dlvisloa of Rus

Ia Italian circles todsv it wss de
clared that regardless of the heavy pres.
ur exerted . by th Italis Socialist 7 T
party and th workman la favor of the .
establishment of friendly relation with -
tha Bovkt regime, th ItiJ lan govsri- T
most had not finally decided apoa a V'
Un of policy beyond the determination 1
not to be forced into war with Bus-
sis. Whils Italy had sent a som mis-
lion to Moscow and wss sbout to re
ceive a Soviet eommlssioa in Bom, it
wss explained that th purpos ws stm- '
ply to ascertain by original inveatiga-
tioa th. exact eonditon prsvsiling la ,'

had not committed itself to a political 4

All thess matters had been ander in

which had kept its government inform-
