Plans Attempt to
Ease Tension
On World

LONDON, Dec. "a. (UP)
One of the first important
acts of the British govern
ment after the succession of
Anthony Eden to the post Of
foreign secretary will be an at
tempt to lessen the danger of war
between Great. Britain and Italy,
it was understood today.
Eden was understood to feel that
assurances of support from Medit-
erranean powers in the event of
an Italian attack on the British
fleet due to enforcement of League
of Nations sanctions now permit
the withdrawal of several units
of the British fleet from the Med
iterranean.
Eden, who today received the
seals of office from King George at
Sandringham, was reported to feel
that reduction of British naval
forces in the Mediterranean would
lessen tension between the two
countries and lessen the danger OF
war resulting from sanctions.
Eden also is believed to have
shelved the idea of an oil embargo
against Italy-at least temporarily
