NEW PROPOSAL

ITALIAN ANXIETY OVER EUROPEAN PROBLEMS BRITISH GUARANTEE MAY MAKE CONCESSIONS WORTH WHILE

Paris, To-day.

A new parcelling out of territory, with a view to satisfying Italy, is declared by the "Liberte's” Geneva correspondent to be under M. Laval's consideration. The proposal, which cannot be confirmed, provides for an offer of a cession by British and French Somaliland to Abyssinia in exchange for Ogaden and Danakil, which will then be handed to Signor Mussolini.

Thus Sig-

nor Mussolini will get a part of "Abyssinia, and the Emperor will get access to the sea.

Paris: Italy's willingness to abandon hostilities in Africa in exchange for a British undertaking to guarantee the peace of Europe is reported in a Geneva telegram to l'Intransigeant. It says that everything therefore now depends on the British reply to the French questionnaire, which is awaited.

“CHINA MAIL:” SPECIAL.

Rome, To-day. Great Britain's naval and military precan- tionary measures in the Mediterranean were the subject of a violent attack on British policy yes- terday by the "Tribuna," which terms them "brutal preliminaries" to sanctions. England, continues the paper, can no longer be considered a guarantor of the freedom of the seas, but re- veals herself as "the gaoler of the Mediter- ranean.”

The military measures, particularly those which Egypt has been compelled to make, were dictated solely by imperialistic considerations, and Signor Mussolini has every right to march against this policy of force followed by Great Bri- tam in hegemony with Freemasons of the second and third Internationales.

Despite the official demais, the papers here maintain persis- tently that the leading officials of the Anglo Egyptian adıïnistra. tion are în close fouch witir the thek of the Seruasi in Libya and are inciting him to insurrection, and they refer to the tour of inspection along the Egypt-Sadan, frontier of this colony, car- ried out some weeks ago by Egyptian and British officers and officials.

The Times complains of the anti-British propaganda conduct- ed by Italy in the Near East, states the semi-official Giornale d'Italia, but it ought to realise that this action is necessary and a defensive measure to explain the aims of Italian policy.

Geneva: The conciliation comp mittee of five held a further session yesterday afternoon, on the conclusion of which the League. Secretariat issued the following communique:—

"The conciliation committee continned their labours to-day in forder to reach a peaceful solution of the Italo-Abyssinian dispute. A further session will be held on Wednesday morning in. order finally to formulate the sugges- tions which could serve as the basis of negotiations.”
