ETHIOPIAN APPEAL

(Specia) To "Telegraph”)

Rome, Apr. 2.

"It is officially denied that the Negus has sent emissaries to talk peace with the Italian High Command, and it is not believed that Signor Mussolini will advance any definite peace pro- posals.

It is, however, suggested that the French Ambassador, who I return- ing to Paris for a brief holiday, may sound the French Government with regard to its views-Reuter Special. CONVERSATION PLANNED
