London, Apr. 4.
Any Italian action against Albania would breach the April 16 Anglo-Italian Agreement of last year, which provides for the maintenance of the Mediterranean status quo, British quarters emphasized today. If Bri-fain denounces the Accords if Italy takes such action, Rome may refuse to evacuate Italian troops still in Spain and the Balearics.
Informed quarters believe the outcome will depend chiefly upon the altitude adopted by Yugoslavia, and ious unconfirmed rumours are already making the rounds on this subject. Some rumours claimed that Italy offered to guarantee Yugoslavian integrity, even against the Reich, in exchange for her neutrality in the Albanian affair.
The situation was somewhat cleared up this morning when Count Galeazzo Ciano, Italian Foreign Minister, conferred with Lord Perth, British Ambassador, it was believed. No definite reports were available to a late hour today.—Havas, only throughout Iraq, but in all Arab countries, especially Transjordania.
Syria's Parliament voted an address of condolences, and President Emile Edde of the Libanese Republic also sent a telegram of condolences to the Regent.
Emir Abdallah of Transjordania, and his son, Emir Talal, flew to Baghdad today to be present for the funeral service tomorrow.
Palestine and all Arab lands in the Near East will be in mourning tomorrow and will cease all activities.—
Havas.
