Britain And France Warn Mussolini

LONDON, Apr. 10. THE LATEST EURO- PEAN crisis created by Italy's invasion of Albania has resulted in Parliament's Easter recess being inter- rupted.

Parliament was original- ly scheduled to re-assemble on April 18, but "in public interest," says a "Reuter" despatch, both Houses have been summoned to meet on Thursday of this week.

"Reuter" adds ahat it is not expected that the sitting will last more than one day.

Italy Warned

A "United Press" message from Paris reports that Britain and France have issued a joint warning to Mussolini. The transmitted warning will be through the British Ambassador to Rome,

It will state that any further expansion threatening the statu quo in the Mediterraneau will be opposed by the full force of British and French arnis.

The French Premier and Foreign Minister are in constant communica- tion with Mr. Chamberlin and Lord Hollinx.

It is unomcially reported that the French Foreign Minister has confer- red with the Soviel Ambassador re- garding the possibility of Russian intervention on behalf of several Balkon Stales in the event of war.
