Certain members of the Fascist Grand Council, especially Marshal De Bono, who was the Gommander-in-Ghlef of the Italian forces at the opening of hostilities in Abyssinia, are reported to be urging the necessity for a speedy compromise in respect to Ahvssfnfa.
Reports are being circulated in Paris that the Pope has again intervened to secure peace. L’Oeuvre. in detailing a new compromise scheme, says the Vatican is appealing to Paris and London lo secure the acceptance of a basis for negotiation. It is understood the latest scheme contemplates the neutralisation of Abyssinia with an international, not Italian, police force. No provision is made for an Italian colonisation zone, but the Emperor is to permit Europeans to settle in the country. Signor Mussolini is sending troops back to Brenner Pass. The reason officially given is ’’ the maintenance of the European situation and the retention of European friendships.”
