ITALIANS HURT
BRITISH REPLY TO NOTE
"DETERMINED TO SLAM
DOOR"
ROME, November 23.
The uncompromising terms of the British reply to the Italian Note protesting against sanctions have hurt Italians. The predominant feeling is that Britain is determined to slam the door that Italy is so painstakingly keeping open, and the claim that Britain is only* fulfilling her Covenant duties is greeted with impatience. In that case, it is asked why does she continue to allow Japan daily to nibble off bits of China?
A Foreign Office spokesman, referring to the British and French Notes, says that they are not surprising, but close the door on conciliation at least for the present. He added that if oil sanctions were imposed Italy would have to "re-examine her attitude," which is believed to refer to Italy's membership of the League.
Signor Mussolini and Sir Eric Drummond, the British Ambassador, had a twenty minutes' conversation which is officially described as perfectly satisfactory, but details are not disclosed. Italians, however, believe that the meeting' eliminates the suggestion that the situation has reached a deadlock.
