BRITISH BID FOR PEACE
NEGOTIATIONS WITH ROME, PARIS AND BERLIN
GERMANY'S WILLINGNESS
TO CONSIDER PLAN
Berlin, To-day.
It is officially confirmed that discussions are now proceeding between Berlin, London, Paris and Rome with the object of reaching a common understanding on effective guarantees for the safe- ty of vessels participating in the international naval control scheme in Spanish waters.
High hopes are held out in diplomatic quarters for the success of the negotiations, which are understood to have reached an advanced stage, al- though they may depend upon the readiness of the rival forces in Spain to give certain undertakings as to safety zones.
It is understood that Germany has made it quite clear that she is willing again to co- operate in the naval control and the deli- berations of the non-intervention committee if the necessary safety guarantees are forthcoming-Reuter.
