Rome, Sept. 12.

To-morrow, will be one of the most fateful days in the history of the League of Nations, in the opinion of well-informed circles here, which are wondering] anxiously whether M. Pierre Laval, the French Prime Minister, will succumb to the British "threats" or align France with her sister Latin nation.

It is now admitted that an almost impossible barrier] exists between the British and Italian viewpoints.

It is rumoured that if M. Laval's speech does not! satisfy the Italians, Italy may withdraw from the League at once, but the present attitude is that she will not do so unless her position is rendered intolerable.- Reuter.

Geneva, Sept. 11. Great Britain's demand that the League of Nations throw its full force against Italian militarism has drawn the retort from the Italian spokesman:
