MUSSOLINI SILENT“ ON PROPOSALS

(Continued from I)

Through the peace plan, drafted by Premier Laval and Sir Samuel Hoare, British Pbrelgn Secretary, with the aid of experts, Hench of- ficials said "a showdown" has come.

Informed quarters said Ii Duce already is in possession of the pro- gram.

Both French andBr-ltisb officials indicated their accord extended to all European questions as well ac to the Italo-Ethioplan war.

If Italy rejects theplub, it was said by high French sources, it will mark the beginning of m even closer Franco-British stand behind the League of Nations. If, however, Il Duce indicates he is willing to talk peace, Paris expects postponement by the League of Nations of an oil embargo against Italy. ‘
