LONDON, Oct. il-I-lsvas said it had learned from usually reliable sources tonight of elaborate plans drawn up by the defence ministries in the event of an Anglo-Italian yvar in the Mediterranean.

Experts of the War Office, the Air Ministry and the Admiralty were considering, as is customary. purely hypothetical conditions and the steps which might be taken under such circumstances.

The plans, Haves reported, in- eluded a defence of the Sues Canal by some Q00 airplanes, secret ar- rangements to ring the Malta naval base with mines on a few hours’ notice. the air defence of Egypt and concentration of naval units in the Mediterranean and Red Seas.

It was understood arrangements were under way with Spain for es- tablishment of a British air and naval base at Mahon. at the ex- treme south end of Mixiorca, Eel- earic Islandsand that Spain had been asked to forbid use of inlets on her coast_to Italian submarines. in the event of war.‘

The plans even contemplated the invasion of Sicily and establish- ment of a British alr base there, commanding the Italian mainland.

The defence of Egypt was brought to the fore by the concen- tration of 80.000 Italian troops on the Libyan frontier under General Itqlo Balbo. Air-Marshal Sir Rob- ert Brooke-Popham is st present making a study of defence steps in the Mediterranean.
