564. (The?) visit of Briand here wholly successful, even though Italy does not declare war against Germany, because Allies henceforth will act unitedly—politically, diplomatically, and in field. Head of Allies’ commission will be French, and Italian Minister for Foreign Affairs and General Cadorna go to Paris in March. Former assures me unofficially that in agreement united action towards neutrals has not been included.
