Last Hope In Exchange of Views Between London, Paris

PARIS BELIEVES ALL CHANCE OF SETTLEMENT EXHAUSTED

Hitler

Asks Reichstag French Mobilisation

Members To Take Firm Stand:

Now Believed Imminent

PARIS, Aug. 28 (UP).-Herr Hitler's rejection of the French Premier's appeal signifies that all possibilities of a peaceful settlement are now exhausted as far as Ger- many and France are concerned.

However, the exchange of views between

Germans Berlin and London have apparently not reached

such a desperate stage.

Some quarters consider that Hitler is making a last attempt to disassociate England and France, which effort, however, is considered doomed to failure.

Others believe that Hitler is attempting to receive a concrete offer from Britain which would give him satisfaction at the expense of Poland.

Such a development is also considered out of the question.

IL DUCE REPLIES TO CANADIAN PLEA

OTTAWA, Aug. 27 (Reuter).—Signor-Mussolini, re- plying by cable to Mr. Mackenzie King, the Canadian Prime Minister, declared to-day that he would leave untried, no effort to safeguard the peace of the world-"a lasting peace that would be a just peace.'

"

Yesterday's wave of optimism in Italy has almost vanished, and it is greatly doubted here whether Britain will find Herr Hitler's proposals acceptable, says a Romo message.

Some circles are of the opinion that if war begins, Italy will not enter immediately, but will wait until she is attacked.
