London, May 7..
Sympathy for Germany's attitude respecting arma- ment and approval of Mr. Ramsay MacDonald's recent declaration of policy, were shown by several speakers in the debate on foreign affairs in the House of Lords to-day.
Lord Stanhope recalled the declaration of the Foreign Secretary, Sir John Simon, last week, that Germany could re-establish the feeling of security in Europe by acts, but not by words.
He said the Government fervently hoped that Chancellor Hitler's promised statement on foreign policy next week would be a prelude to such construc- tive action on Germany's part as is expected in view of Hitler's frequently proclaimed desire for peace.
In regard to the suggestion that tho Government should re-
constitute the Disarmament Con- AMERICAN
forence, Lord Stanhope said it seemed impossible at present for Britain to submit figures for land forces which Europe would be likely to agree to.
"If Hitler could give us figures, well and goud. Let Germany sub- mit definite proposals and let us see if we could get plans for air pact on the lines of our proposals."
The British Government had drafted an Air Pact model for its own information and he had no doubt France and Italy had done the same, he wild.
"Let us communicate them to each other and let us get one from Germany and see If Germany can submit practical proposals will enable us to resume negoti- -ations."

Rome, May 7. More than ever, there is danger of a clash between Italy and Ethiopia. In face of the situation in Abyssinia, the Fascist Government can no longer delay action, warned the Under-Secretary for the Colonies, addressing the Chamber of Deputies to-day.
It is necessary, he said, to face the question and solve it once and for all. The problem of Italy's re- lationship with Abyssinia was pressing, he insisted.
A crowded House heard Signor Lessona, the Under-Secretary, in an atmosphere of tense excitement which has prevailed since the announcement of new mobilisation orders.

Signor Lassona charged Abyssinia with violation of the Italo-Abysalnia Treaty of friendship. ́He said that satisfaction had been afforded in only one of the three bloody frontier incidents of recent date.
