ORIGIN OF THE PROPOSALS
VIRTUAL ULTIMATUM TO SIR SAMUEL HOARE FEAR OF ITALIAN ATTACK ON BRITAIN (Received December 14, 12.30 a.m.) LONDON, December 13. The political correspondent of the “Manchester Guardian” says that M. Laval virtually presented an ultimatum to Sir Samuel Hoare, that France would have nothing to do with oil sanctions and was convinced that they would drive Signor Mussolini to desperation and might even provoke an Italian attack on the British fleet. He did not withdraw the promise of French support in the event of such an attack, but emphasised the technical difficulties preventing swift French assistance. Therefore, Sir Samuel Hoare should collaborate in producing for a settlement proposals satisfying, not to the league but to Signor Mussolini.
