ANGLO-ITALIAN RELATIONS
Chamberlain-Grandi Interview
London, July 31.
The initiative in bringing about the conversations between ›. the Premier, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, and the Italian Ambassa- dor, Count Dino Grandi, was taken by the latter and not by Mr. Chamberlain, as generally supposed, declares the "News Chroni-
.cie."
The journal's Rome correspondent declares that Mr. Cham- berlain requested Count Grandi to deliver a personal message to Signor Mussolini from him, and the Ambassador is said to have promised to deliver the message as soon as he returns to Rome. A fairly optimistic view of present Anglo-Italian relationa is taken by the "Daily Mail" as a result of the Chamberlain-Grandi Interview.
One of the questions discussed. the paper says, was British re- cognition of the Italian, conquest of Abyssinia.
The paper learns, on good au- thority, that some of the mem- bers of the British Cabinet recent- ly declared themselves in favour of getting the League of Nations to pass a resolution on the question; and the paper belleves Britain will take the initiative in this connec tion at the League meeting in September."

INTERNATIONAL MORALITY
London, July 31.
"The world has been shocked, but not very profoundly." declares the "News Chronicle" in a leading. article on the bombing of Tentain, "and the Japanese will get away with it."
"The bombing of this huge city will be regarded merely as an in- cident in
one more aggressive campaign.
"There could be no more force- ful illustration of the extent to which international morality has degenerated than the apathy with which news of the bombing of Tientsin has been received.

A deputation of the Arab High Committee in Palestine has arrived here and has presented to the League Mandates Commission criticism of the Palestine Report.
The memorandum reproaches the in its statement of the causes of Royal Commission with partiality the conflict in Palestine.

The paper turns to its favourite theme of British recognition of the Italian conquest of Abyssinia, stating that the Foreign Office at- tempts to ignore the facts must
cease.
Even to-day, it states, the Ex- pire of Ras Tafari still exists for the Foreign Office as a type of "political vacuum.”→→
