No Pressure Axis Powers While Authoritative Fascist Quarters Say Entry Into War Is Not Issue, Italian Press Predicts Attack Through Spain. (By The Associated Press.) Authoritative fascist <iuarlcrs in Home, predicting that Kng land would probably "shout vic tory" and sa> that "Spain resist ed axis pressure," acknowledged today that immediate Spanish entry into the war was not an issue at conferences started be tween Premier Mussolini and Spanish Minister Ramon Serrano Suner. These quarters asserted that no such pressure had been brought to hear on Spain—de spite an apparcnth synchronized barrage of dispatches from Ber lin and Rome recently statins: that Spain was expected to join the axis as a full-fledged partner. Well informed sources in Ber lin said meanwhile that German diplomacy is lending a "helping hand" to bring together the axis' new partner Japan and her old foe Russia in a non-aggression pact. While fascists east doubt on the possibility of a formal Romc-Berlin Madrid alliance at present, the Ital ian press seemed to take it lor grant ed that Spain could be used any way for an exis base fur an attack on Gibraltar. By this means, the nazi-fascist strategists apparently hoped to re lieve Spain of a forthright declara tion of war against Kngland — with the inevitable consequence of a Brit ish blockade being clamped on Spain —and yet to utilize Spain for an as sault mi Britain's great rock fortress which guards the west gate of the Mediterranean. Italian circles in Rome indicated that Spanish General! simo Francis co Franco intended to keep Spain out of the conflict "until the right mo ment."
