Rome, August 23.
Although satisfaction is expressed here that the British Cabinet passed no re- solution directed against italy, the feeling nevertheless prevails that the British "atti- tude remains unaltered and that British support for the application of sanctions in case of hositlities has not been removed, but has, on the other hand, been increased through the unanimity of opinion now said to exist between members of the Cabinet and leaders of the Opposition.
That the door to peaceful settlement is apparently not entirely closed by Italy is indicated by a noteworthy remark in the "Popolo di Roma" which states
"that either the efforts to find a basis for an understanding between Italy and Abyssinia will succeed, or Britain will try and force France to support the resolution, in Geneva. direected against Italy."
A similar view is expressed by the
Corriere Della Stella"!
which adds that Britain is evidently playing for tine since she is not certain of the French attitude. Transocean Kuo Min.
