Year For Disposal Of Italian Colonies
(Rec. 1.30 p.m.) ,LOi\DON, Oct. 3. The Big Four Foreign Ministers’ special deputies began a conference today on disposal of Italian Colonies. Sir Noel Charles (Britain), welcoming the other deputies, said: “Mr Bevin is pleased that our respective governments lost no time in arranging these meetings.
“We have a year to find a solution and he feels that the sooner the commissioners have their instructions to proceed and make investigations on the spot the better it will be and the more time can be given for discussion when their reports have been made.” Sir Noel said that he did not foresee serious difficulty at this stage and although November 15 had been mentioned as a date for the commissioners to leave Britain there was no reason why they should not leave earlier.
Mr Bevin took the view that it should be fairly easy to agree on the first necessary details and procedure. The conference conducted its business in camera.
