Definite announcement of the time and place will be made later, LONDON, May 2 Minister Neville Chamberlain told the House of Commons today that Britain and Italy were drifting rapidly toward war when he became Prime Minister eleven inonths ago. Opening debate on the -AaHglo-ItaK iau agreement signed at Rome April 16. Chamberlain said that in May, 1937, relations of the two powers were "so unsatisfactory, even BO dangerous, it was necessary to make some effort to improve them." Conservative members cheered the Italian ambassador, who followed the debate intently from the diplomatic gallery, when the Prime Minister praised his part in the negotiations. Chamberlain's speech, backing the agreement which he engineered, was followed by an opposition onslaught on the accord, based on the fact that Italian troops still are fighting in the Spanish civil Avar. Chamberlain said his foreign policy was designed "not only to establish peace but if possible to restore confidence that peace can and will be maintained, because without that confidence no progress is possible in international affairs." Chamberlain disclosed for the first time that Italy gave Britain as- surnnces that 'the Italian govrn- ment will abstain from creating difficulties or embarrassments for the British government in the adminfs- tiation of Palestine."
