Italy's foreign minister, had in
formed the British ambassador, Sir
Eric Drummond, that Italy accept
ed in principle all points in the
British proposals to assure the safe

The three main points Of the Brit

ish belligerents be required to give
formal solemn assurances that they
will respect international patrol
ships; that safety zones for patrol
ships be established at certain speci-
fed ports Of the two belligerent
parties: and that the four naval
powers engaged in patrol duties
consult each other on measures to
be taken If any Of their patrol ships
should be attacked. The Italians and
Nazis wanted the third point to per-
NIT any ship attacked TO retaliate
at once. But they weren't insistent.
