It is explained that, further; efforts are under way to have the agreement completed by Monday.- DANGER HAS PASSED The conferees are agreed that tonight the greatest danger of an absolute break4 has been passed. With the backdown of the .Italians, all. that is necessary now is to reach agreements satisfac tory to the other interests.
