BITTER BOW TO LAYAL · It must be admitted that neither British nor French circles really expected the conference to succeed. The failure is a bitter, blow to M. Laval who found the Italians too uncompromising for even his re- markable talents as a conciliator.
The position of France is part cularly delicate. Although she is at one with Britain in defence of; the League and the desire to pre- vent war, she is very loath to en-
