Rome,
Nov. 6th.—The
Italian
Govern-
ment
cannot
ginve
its
approval
to
any
turther
occupation of German
territory,
Premier Mussolini
declared in the Senate
tonight.
Onpe
must

courage
to
say
that the
German
people
cannot

the Premier
continued.
"‘They
are
a people which have known
civiliza-
tion”’.
Signor
Mussolini
intimated
that
{taly does
not
contemvlate
such
an
ex-
tremely
grave
step
as
breaking
with
Fiance,
which vrould
in a
certain
sense
be
equivalent
to
declaring

Treaty
of
Versailles
vcid,
and
might
involive
another
European
conflagration
and
leave
Italy
isolate]l.
The
Premier
de-
clared
the
request
to
deport
the
ex Crown
Prince
from
Germany
wasa
mistake,
it meant
another
deadlock,
for
the
Prince
could
not
leave
Germany
without
further
complicating
the situa-
tion.
In the course
of a reference
to the
recent
Corfu
incident,
Signor
Mussolini
described
the
League
of
Nations
as
a
“Franco- British
duet’’
in
which
Italy
had
an
inferior
position.
Italy,
he said,
did
not wish
to
to
withdraw
from
the
League,
but it could
not
remain
n mem-
ber
in the
inferior
position
it
held.
A
resolution
approving
the
Goveroment’s
foreign
policy
was
adopted
by
