PESSIMISM IN
LONDON Italian Reply's Reception
London, To-day.
The situation resulting from the Italian reply to the joint' Anglo- French Note is considered in some quarters in London in a more pessi- mistic light in consequence of an exchange of views between London
and Paris.
The Italian proposal to submit the question of volunteers to the non-intervention committee, meets with an unfavourable reception in Government quarters, who regard it as not offering any prospect of a practical solution.
