Rome, July 19.-The government has

international agreement for joint action
in China and the future attitude of the
powers.
The matter is still under considera-

and minister of foreign affairs, it is
understood. has already replied in a

somewhat similar proposition to the

assured that all the powers, in view of
the danger of the situation, viii nego-
tiate regarding NJ Delcasse's proposal.

ticle says, are in the field against the

which the Chinese minister WAS ac-
