PEACE IN EUROPE.
ITALY'S PROPOSALS.
No Commitments Made By
Britain,
COLLABORATION SOUGHT,
(British Official Wireless.)
(Received 9.30 a.m.) RUGBY, April 14. Referring in the House of Commons to Signor Mussolini's proposals, Sir John Simon, Foreign Secretary, undertook to lay the papers 011 the table of the House when necessary. Leave to adopt sucli a course, he said, was obtained from those with whom the Government had been communicating. The Government had made no commitments or entered into any agreements of any kind. They wanted by consultation and co-operation to devise a plan by which the risk of opposing blocks between one nation and another would be minimised. It was not the intention, said Sir John, that these Powers should combine and attempt to impose their will on any of the lesser nations. The object in view was to try to select certain questions which might arise in Europe and secure collaboration on them, especially in economic fields.
