The three-power conference delegates were nervous as word from Rome was awaited. It was decided not to rame a time for the meeting until they received the Italian delegate who will outline the situation to Mussolini by telephone, asking for a specific statement of his claims. It was apparent from the delay that Mussolini's reply probably will be an important one, possibly indicating whether the peace preservation conference will be able to succeed.
