CRISIS THOUGHT OVER.

ATTITUDE OF ITALY AND hlillivl.ANY. LONDON, June 3. The British view is that tlie international crisis produced by the bombing of the Deutschland and the shelling of Aimeria has ended, says the diplomatic correspondent of the Manchester Guardian. Plans are now being considered for averting further incidents and their consequences, but the Non-lutervention Committee will not meet until concrete proposals have emerged. The British Government, according to the Morning Post, is still working on the idea of extended safety zones, but the high feeling running among other members of the Non-Intervention Committee is proving an obstacle to progress. ; The Daily Teh ,'iapli says that Italy and Germany are pressing for prearranged penalties to be imposed by the four non-intervention fleets, acting in concert, but this is not acceptable to England and France. They favour instead some arrangement for immediate consultation, on the spot , between officer of the four fleets if a vessel belonging to any of them is molested. The News-Chronicle says that the important thing is that Italy and Germany both seem anxious to resume co-operation with the London committee.
