Laval's latest plea.

Signor Mussolini is expected to outline the minimum concessions which he will accept before he will order cessation of hostilities.-

It is believed that the Papal Nuncio, Mgr. Maglione, has urged Pope Pius to bring pressure to bear upon Signor Mussolini to bring him to accept a peaceful solu- tion-United Press.

DECISION BY END OF PRESENT WEEK

.Geneva, Oct. 13.

To-day was another crowded period of incidents and progress, for which credit must be given M. Maximos, the Greek President of the Financial sub Committee and M. Couldandre, the French technical expert.

M. Maximos steered financial resolutions through the Committee with skill and speed, and the terms of the resolution are as water-tight as it is humanly possible to make them, covering every possible form of credit, financial operations, direct or indirect, between. the Italian Government, institutes, business firms and all Italian individuals and the rest of the world.

The resolution does not interfere with private banking of private bank deposits abroad or payments of instalments on loans already issued but not fully transferred. However, it will prevent the issue of a second portion of any loan, even if the first section has been handed over,
