British sources said that no new commitments had been made by either side. ROME. January 12: (CP Premier Benito Mussolini of Italy asks for '"Peace with Justice." Premier Neville Chamberlain says "Peace by process of negotiation. " And therln last night was perceived the first note of cleavage in the meeting between the two Prime Ministers which may have an Important bearing upon the course of events In the Immediate future in Europe. At a brilliant state banquet last night In the Palazlo Venezla, Chamberlain and Mussolini, with honeyed words, assured each other of their mutual desire for peace. Mussolini's remarks were construed, however, as meaning that there can be no appeasement without colonial concessions for Italy and Germany. On the other hand, the accepted Implication of Chamberlain's words Is that there can be no peace unless Fascist claims are put forth In diplomatic form and duly negotiated. Premier Chamberlain takes the stand that the Mediterranean Interests of Britain and Italy are such that there is no need for conflict. Mussolini Indicates that only one outcome of the Spanish civil war will be satisfactory to Italy victory for the forces of General Francisco Franco. Some British officials see no concrete results of benefit arising from the Mussollnl-Chamberlaln conference. Following the banquet. Premier Chamberlain was taken through the palace museum by II Duce. Premier Chamberlain and Foreign Secretary Viscount Halifax, who were met at the station on arrival by Mussolini and Count Clano, his Foreign Secretary, were given a great welcome. A band - played "God Save the King" in streets which were lined with great crowds. Union Jacks and flowers were' used profusely In decorations. - The British Premier was clothed quietly In black and carried an umbrella. 141 Sffi1,: Macey'g Coffee House PRICE; $ CENTS Is Most Important Matter FINAL BULLETINS OTTAWA SESSION OPENS IN DUE STYLE; GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS SOON Many Important Matters to Be Considered Although All Are Desirous that Business be Expedited OTTAWA, January 12: CCP) Salutes of mins rPsnnnH.. ! ed and there was military resplendence as the Governor j-ieneral went to Parliament Hill this afternoon to open the session with the usual pomp and panoply.
