BRITAIN'S OFFER OF MUTUAL ASSISTANCE PACT TO SOVIET
London, To-day. Although official circles are exceedingly reticent regarding the nature and scope of the latest British proposals to the Soviet, Reuter's diplo- matic correspondent learns that it is believed they cover Firstly, a mutual assistance pact which will operate in the event of direct aggression upon the Eu- ropean territories of any of the three parties. This will be preceded by a tri-partite declara- tion covering such a menace until a formal pact is concluded.
Secondly, provision for consulta- tion and action in the event of di- rect aggression upon the territories of any States guaranteed by the three parties.

to be discussed.
It is also gathered that any State the victim of aggression must resist before the guarantee operates.
Thirdly, consultations between the General Staffs of the three par- ties will be held to ensure the most efficient collaboration between air, sea and land forces.
There seems good reason for be- lieving that any agreement reached will follow these general lines.

NEW PROPOSALS
London, To-day. While it is bound to be several days, as the Prime Minister-indi- cated in the Commons on Wednes- day, before the Anglo-Russian ex- changes reach the stage where further public statement can use- fully be made, it was confirmed in official circles in London yesterday that the broad outlines of the new proposals which Mr. Chamberlain said the British Government were now in a position to make were sent on Wednesday night to Sir William Seeds for communication to the So- viet Government.
FURTHER TALKS

London, To-day, The fact that two Cabinet Min- · isters, Mr. Leslie Hore-Belisha (Secretary for War) and Mr. Walter Elliot (Minister of Health) abstained from voting when the division was taken in the Commons on the Govern- ment's Palestine policy, has caus- ed considerable indignation. among Government supporters, says the "Daily Express."

CANDID CONFESSION
".
Rome, To-day.
The announcement that 20,000 Italian volunteers will take part in a great victory parade before King Victor Emanuel, is featured by the press.
“Giornal d'Italia” says that the presence of a Spanish military de- putation at the Italian victory parada symbolized the fact that the Spanish conflict was less' civil war between Spaniards than a war waged in defence of culture in South-West Europe and the western basin of the Mediterranean against Bolshevism Trans-Ocean
