Chinese military authorities have decided to accept the long- standing offers of large numbers of foreign pilots who desire to enlist in the air force against; the Japanese, according to the roport.

Five hundred pilots have already been secretly collected and are now in China.

They are stated to include 300 other Soviet pilots and 200 foreigners, most of whom are from France and Great Britain.

Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians, Americans and nationals are also represented.

Unconfirmed reports state that in his first talk with

Il Duce, Mr. Chamberlain outlined his connection in the settlement of the present Franco-Italian conflict.

It is believed that Mr. Chamberlain suggested that it would the entire be easier for the French Government to deal with

Rome, if complexity of questions in direct negotiations with immediate orders were given by Mussolini to call off the anti- French campaign in the Italian press.

If that were done, provided it created a more concillatory atmosphere between Italy and France, the British Government, It is understood, would be prepared to give support to Rome and the latest Itallan demands, except, however, its territorial claims.

This would appear to confirm reports about the willingness on the part of the French Government to make certain conces- sions to Italy with respect to Djibouti.---Trans-Occan.

Mr. Chamberlain waved his silk hat, and seemed pleased that no troops or police were in evidence as is usually the

case.

The Roman's welcome to the British statesmen has certainly been friendly, good-natured and spontaneous, and there is a cheerful and happy atmosphere among the crowds.
