The proposals are alleged to offer Italy effective control of several provinces, but these do not include Harrar, Aksum or the western part of the comtry, as the Negus would certainly op- pose such concessions

London: Another abortive peace effort is disclosed. Renter learns that a conversation between British and French experts in Paris has not resulted in any agreement to submit suggested peace terms either to Italy or the League. There is, however, complete agreement that the present proposals are not of `prac- tical value.

Peace soundings from Italian sources and conversations with France may continue, but there is no question that either Bri- tain or France will take steps without the League Council's sanc- tions, nor is there any likelihood of any three-Power conversa- tions.

WANTON BREACH OF ELECTION PLEDGES

INTERNATIONAL CRISIS

BEING EXPLOITED

MISHANDLING OF DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE

London, To-day. Intense disappointment with the National Government was expressed by Lord Snowden, broadcasting in new guise, namely, as a Liberal He accused the Government of a wanton breach of their election pledges, firstly, by adopting a whole-hearted Tory policy instead of a non-party one, and secondly, by foisting on the coun- try a full protectionist system.

He claimed that he and not Mr. Neville Chamberlain was res ponsible for the conversion operation and a balanced budget.

The Government's domestic record was one of almost un- relieved failure and crude complacency about the millions of un- employed. It was now exploiting the international situation as it exploited the national situation in 1931.
