Paris, Dec. 8.
Received, December 9, 1910 (am.)
It is reported in well-informed circles here that Italy must accept the peace terms offered by the League of Nations, for if she refuses the British and French will exert their combined strength to tighten the sanctions to strangulation point.
Picture shows the remains of the late Lord Carson being conveyed through the streets of Belfast on a gun-carriage. Huge crowds gathered to pay their tribute to the man who came to be known as the "Uncrowned King of Ireland.
FIGHTING
An agreement has been reached between M. Pierre Laval, HONGKONG
the French Prime Minister, and Sir Samuel Hoare, the British Foreign Secretary, during their conference following Signor Mussolini's informal rejection of the tentative peace. formula. The Italian refusal has not daunted the statesmen who are, working for peace, and who are determined to submit their terms formally, in a virtual ultimatum.
The proposal will also be submitted to the League of Nations.
The final Anglo-French offer is reported to contain the following points:
1. Ethiopia will cede to Italy all the Tigre at present occupied by her troops, plus Ogaden and two other provinces;
2. Italy will cede to Ethiopia the port of Assab, plus a corridor thereto, through Italian soll;
3. Ethiopia's rights in the Lake Tsana district shall be maintained unimpared, presumably continuing Britain's fe fluence in that spliere.
COMMON STAND- France-British relations with Germany were discussed at yeatur day's meeting between M. Pierre Laval and Sir Samuel Hoare and a common land in future conver- sations with the Relch was agreed upon.
It is expected that conver antions with Germany will begin early in the New Year.-Reuter.
