Copyright. LONDON, Aug. 18The Paris correspondent of the Times says the Anglo-French propos-

als should have given Signor Mussolini ample cause for satisfaction. He would peacefully, have obtained economic advantages which should have satisfied Italian aspirations for years to come. The conditions accompanying the offer were probably the stumb-ling-block, for Britain and France insisted that the political integrity of Abyssinia must be respected and both the League and Abyssinia must accept the final scheme of settlement. The Paris correspondent of the Daily Mail says that Signor Mussolini did not even discuss the conference’s proposal, but reiterated that Abyssinia so endangered the Italian colonies that the only effective remedy was Italian occupation of the strategic points on the Abyssinian uplands. appeal to the pope. “ A TRUCE OF GOD.” FROM THE MOUNT OF CALVARY. United Press Assn.—Floe. Tel. Copyrlirtit LONDON, Aug. 18. Tho Archbishop of York, Dr. William Temple, in a letter to the Times, urges that Britain should leave no doubt of her intention to operate the •League machinery if other nations will join her. Mr George Lansbury, Leader of the Opposition, in a ielier, urges that the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Cosmo Gordon Lnnsr, should take the lead in an appeal to the Pope to convoke a congress of every phase of Christian thought at Jerusalem, and call a truce of God from the Mount of Calvary. The Bishop of Exeter, Lord William Gascoync-Cceil, in an article in the Daily Mail, expresses ilie fear that war is inevitable, and advises curtailing it to the utmost possible extent. For this reason, he suggests, all must retrain from insulting Italy. Good might be done if opinions were expressed from a fellow-sinner’s viewpoint indicating that Britain was blameworthy in reserving great territories in Australia and elsewhere which she could not pretend to cultivate, while Italy and oilier nations cannot expand. An atmosphere of peace, says the bishop, might then be produced. LABOUR’S APPEAL FORWARDED. SUPPORT OF 250,000 PEOPLE. ONLY PRACTICABLE SCHEME. United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel.
