Paris, Dec. 3. The British and French Governments have decided to submit a new peace plan to Italy before embarking on the ad- mittedly dangerous oil embargo.

The new plan will be based upon the proposals which Signor Benito. Mussolini rejected in August, including the scheme for an International Mandate over Ethiopia, with Italy holding the dominant share. It will also include suggestions for the ex- change of Itailan and Ethiopian territory, with Ethiopia being given an outlet to the sea, probably through Italian Somaliland.. It is said that Signor Mussolini has shown a manifest: desire to examine the possibilities.

Although it is emphasised that the plan has not yet been formally drafted, an atmosphere of noticeable optimista. prevails.United Press..
