"WE MUST ACT"
ITALY DILATORY
DISAPPOINTMENT IN PARIS
PARIS, October 10. "The Italian reply docs not fulfil expectations," the French Foreign Minister, M. Delibes, told newspapermen. "It is not aggressive and is even conciliatory, but we must act. There must be no further violations of nonintervention. It is not Britain and France but Italy which is dilatory. We have no intention of excluding Germany. If Herr Hitler had sent orders praising his troops in Spain or had dispatched battalion orders to the troops, we should have approached Germany."
The Italian reply will be regarded as entirely unacceptable, and France will be opening the frontier, it is expected, in a few days. The Prime Minister, M. Chautemps, and the President, M. Lebrun, are opposed to this step, but the majority of the members of Cabinet favour it.
