The move was watched with great est interest by foreign chancellories In Europe, for the territory had often been described as a. possible point of contention in colonial affairs. In Prance, tha transfer of the ter ritory to Italy was considered a com promise on the promises which Prance made Italy In 1915 in return for Italy's quitting the alliance with Ger many and AiiRtro-Hungary and en tering the World war on the side of France. In Italy, it was said that the ac quisition of former French territory was only part of the prize achieved and that another point of import ance was a promise from France to follow out the Italian Idea of a par tial rearmament for Germany, pro vided Germany re-enters the League of Nations. Suggestions were heard that by the acquisition of land at the southern approach of the Suez canal. Italy had placed herself In a position in which she could do some bargaining with Great Britain on the subject of ter ritorial possessions, but this point of view was described as Incorrect In Rome, Paris and London.
