Paris, Apr. 13.
Italy's sincere desire to use the agreement with Britain as a step-Ping-stone to the improvement of relations with France, is declared to be indicated clearly in Rome now.
The presence of a French commercial delegation in the Italian capital may prepare the ground for this rapprochement, provided that France agrees to recognize the conquest of Ethiopia.
Well-informed circles in Paris point out that though Italo-German friendship is strong today, there are many reports from Rome indicating Italian anxiety over the consequent ces of the anschluss. Reliable reports claim that Italy is even now building fortifications near the Brenner Pass.
Mr. Attlee asked whether any communication had been received from the Secretary-General of the League of Nations with reference to the re-nest of the British Government that e consequences arising out of the existing situation. in Ethiopia should be placed on the agenda of the Council of the League of Nations meeting next month, and whether the Prime Minister would give an undertaking that the Government would act in conformity with the resolutions passed by the Assembly of the League relating to the non-recognition of conquests by aggression.
Mr, Neville Chamberlain replied: "The answer to the first part of the question is that the Secretary General has addressed no communication to the Government on this subject.
"With regard to the last part of the question, the Government have in no way changed their view of the importance of the principles enunciated in the resolution to which the right honourable gentleman refers, but in iheir application to any case the Government must be entitled to take into account the attitude of other members of the League and the facts of the international situation."—Wireless Through Reuter.
