NO MESSAGE TO DUCE
MR. BALDWIN'S DENIAL
(Received November 27, 10.20 a.m.)
LONDON, November 26.
The "Sun-Herald" agency was officially informed after a consultation with Mr. Stanley Baldwin that "No message, written or verbal, was delivered to Signor Mussolini on November 11 by Sir Eric Drummond from Mr. Baldwin. No such message was sent."
A London cable received yesterday stated that an invitation by the Prime Minister to Signor Mussolini to formulate conditions on which he would expect an end of hostilities was contained in a letter which the British Ambassador, Sir Eric Drummond, read to II Duce, according to M. de Brinon, M. Layal's mouthpiece, writing in the Parisian newspaper "L'lnformation," which the "Daily Telegraph's" diplomatic writer quoted in support of the statement that Sir Eric's conversation with Signor Mussolini represents a new phase in the British peace efforts. The writer added that owing to exceptional measures to secure secrecy in London, nothing was known in official circles there that Mr. Baldwin thus conveyed a personal message to Signer Mussolini as the head of one Government to another.
