Paris Talks Cover Colonial Issue

British Leaders May Bring Proposals for — French Acceptance

Paris, Nov. 7.

The British Prime Minister, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, and the Foreign Secretary, Lord Halifax, are due to arrive here at 5 p.m. on November 23 for their brief visit to France. They will come by rail and will go straight to the British Embassy, where a dinner will be given in their honour. Several functions are planned after that, when important diplomatic conversations are expected to take place.

Britain is apparently ready to meet Germany's colonial claims and it is expected that Mr. Chamberlain and Lord Halifax will submit some colonial plans to French statesmen during their visit.

To date there have been no Franco-

British consultations on the problem, informed observers declare.
