MUSSOLINI'S FOUR POINT AGENDA
IN QUEST OF SECURITY FOR ALL NATIONS
(By Telegraph. Copyright, Telegraphic Meuanges Ordinance, 1894. Received, April 6, 9.30 a.m.)
London, April 5.
The Foreign Office, according to the most reliable information, has received from Signor Mussolini a four-point agenda for the Stresa Conference, at which Britain, France and Italy, as the major participants, will endeavour to evolve a common policy for the preservation of the peace of Europe and for the
maintenance of their own and lesser powers' security.
Signor Mussolini suggests, in the first place, the formulation of a three-power policy between Britain, Fance and Italy with respect to Germany's repudia- tion of the Treaty of Versailles. He would have these three nations agreed upon the tactics they are to adopt towards Germany at the coming session of the League of Nations Council.
the
The second point of the agenda embraces discussions for examination of the possibility of alignment on a common front in respect to the fulfilment of the Franco-Beltinh European accurity proposals, contained in munique of February 3.

Signor Mussolini suggests the desirability of enlisting the co- operation of other intrested

EUROPE'S PLIGHT NOT HOPELESS
EDEN RETURNS FROM
PEACE MISSION
BRITAIN MUST FIRMLY SUPPORT LEAGUE
London, April 5. Fresh from his flying tour of European capitals in the cause of peace, Mr. Anthony Eden, Britain's Lord Privy Seal, arrived at Victoria Station at 843 o'clock to-night, and was warmly welcomed by friends, Government representatives and a crowd of admirers.
His travels had been strenuous, he admitted, but really very useful. He did not admit that he was weary to the point of exhaustion, although he was sent to bed on doctor's orders last night when he was attempting to press on to England by air despite the stormy weather.
The difficulties of the European situation were undoubtedly formidable, but were by no means in- surmountable, said this envoy of good-will.
