BERLIN REPLY LIKELY TO BE SENT TO-DAY

London, March 23. The proposals sent to Germany by the Locarno Powers, designed to surmount the crisis which has arisen by the unilateral denunciation of the Locarno and Versailles Pacts by Chancellor Adolf Hitler, were not intended as an ultimatum, declared Lord Halifax, Lord, Privy Seal, speaking at Bristol to-day.

"We want no encirclement of Germany and no exclusivo alliances, but a European partnership in which Germany will freely join.

"We have asked Germany a hard thing; but Germany had created conditions by which the stability of Europe was shaken and it was not too much to ask that Germany make a contribution of admitted difficulty," he said.

"I have read the press reports that Germany will not be able to accept at least one of the proposals) addresed to her by the Locarno Powers, but as far as the British Government is concerned any serious counter-proposals would be received with the most careful and anxious consideration.”—Reuter.

Leaving To-day

Berlin, Mar. 23. Herr von Ribbentrop, thie German chief delegate to the League of Na- tions' Council conferences in London, is returning to the British capital by plane on Tuesday.

This announcement indicates that Chancellor Adolf Hitler's consultations | with his advisors are ending and that the German reply to the Locarno Pa-| wors' proposals for the safeguarding of the Western European peace, has been prepared and will be delivered in London by Ilerr von Ribbentrop.

To-night, Horr Hitler was atil! working on the details of his reply to the Locarno Pówore.

But despite the welter of rumour, not a single definite fact has leaked out with regard to Dor Fuchrer' intentions,

ETHIOPIANS URGE ARMED LEAGUE AID

FRESH APPEAL TO POWERS

PROTEST AGAINST USE

OF POISON GAS

London, Mar. 23. The Ethiopian Government has sent a second note to the League of Nations protesting against the use of poison gas by the Italian troops invading Ethiopian territory, and appeals to the League for immediate assistance.

The note states that for fifteen months Ethiopia has been appealing to the League for intervention in one way or another, but no answer has been given.

Now Ethiopia is again appealing, it goes on, under Article XVI of the League Covenant, which calls, first, for effective forms of sanctions, and second, for a combined League of Nations Army to come to the assistance of the beleaguered state, suffering at the hands of a nation which the League has declared to be an aggressor.-Reuter Bulletin Service,
