In a dispatch from London to the New York Times giving the terms of the new British-Italian agreement, Ferdinand Kuhn Jr. says it was reported that as a corollary to the accord the Italians gave an informal promise to discontinue their trouble-making broadcasts in Arabic from the powerful station at Bari.

These talks caused annoyance and uneasiness in London last Spring because of their effect on Palestine, Iraq and Egypt and the subject was mentioned not only diplomatically but also publicly in the House of Commons.
