SANCTIONS?

Cabinet Policy Decided

DEPENDS UPON LEAGUE VIEW

London, June 15.

The Cabinet is believed to be agreed upon the principle of discontinuance of sanctions if Geneva decides upon that course, on the ground that sanctions have falled ami their con- tinuance will not serve any use- ful purpose.

Moreover, it is felt the European situation makes it desirable that the question of relations between Britain and Italy should be put on a new footing.

The final incision will be taken at a meeting of the Cabinet on Wednes- day.

Prominent members of the Cabinet attended a meeting of the Forrin Affairs Commitice of the Cabinet this evening, which is understood to have considered the sanctions policy and also the question of a conference with the French Foreign Minister on Monday, with regard to Turkey's re- quest for refortification of the Dar- danelles to be approve. At this meeting the participation of Italy would be required. as she is a signatory to the treaty demilitaris. ing the Straits.

Sir Samuel Iloare is said to be the principal British delegate to this conference.

CLASH IN DANZIG

In the last twenty-four hours there have been a number of disturbing developments in European politics. There is the rumour of an Italo-German military and political alliance, published in Paris and London; there is the openly expressed suspicion that Germany intends to attack Czecho-Slovakia, following the restoration of the Hapsburgs in Austria-Hungary, and the Little Entente general staffs have consequently met to discuss defences; and finally, in Danzig, there is an acute situation between Nazis and their opponents, and fighting in the streets.

(SPECIAL TO "TELEGRAPH”)

Rome, June 15. Authoritative circles to-day discounted the Paris and London published reports of an Italo-German political and military pact.

However, it is admitted that Italians and Germans are making serious efforts to reach a final understand- ing. Attention is drawn to the intense diplomatic activity in Rome and Berlin, featured by the assiduous calls of the respective ambassadors.

The article denies that a restoration will be effected by means of a coup d'etat but hints that the Government may launch a plebiscite on the question.
