.DALAD|ER WARNS
DUCE ON VIOLENCE
France to Defend Frontiers,
He Says, as Accord
Talks Collapse.
BACKGROUND

BACkGROUND-
France opened negotiations for
settlement With Italy as result OF
successful agreement betUeen Great
Britain and the government OF
Benito Mussolini. The italian die
tator last Saturday made speech at
Genoa Udrning demOcrdcieS against
"doctrindl Udr" and revealing that
French Italia negotiations Uere not
being resumed since Hitler left
Rome.
By the Associated Press.
PARIS, May l9.-Premier Edouard
Daladier declared that France would
defend her frontiers against all at
tempts at violence" in surprise state
ment delivered today as Frances ne
gotiations with Italy for a friendship
agreement approached a complete
breakdown.
To newspaper men whom he sum-
moned to his Office, the head OF the
national defense" cabinet declared
France will persist in proving her
close union. her calm self-possession
She can do it because she is strong
Her will for peace is her first guar
antee; her strength is her supreme
guarantee"
Indirectly the premier threw the
blame for the impasse in the friend
ship talks on Italy. asserting that
France was occupied with looking
everywhere and with everybody for a
settlement, which, however, demands
loyalty, reciprocity and parallel ac-
ton"
Effort to Break Alliance.
The premier's declaration came as
Italian efforts to break up Frances al
lance with Soviet Russia had imposed
formidable obstacles to efforts for
Franco-1talian accord.
Conversations for such an agreement
began in Rome before Adolf Hitler's
visit to italy May were suspended
during that visit and have not been
resumed. Today M. Daladier uttered
this warning:
Whatever the circumstances France
is capable OF assuring alone the in
viola bility of her frontiers and that
OF her empire. OF safeguarding the in
dependence and integrity of her ter
ritory against all attempts at vio-
lence."
In what appeared to be an allusior
to reported German and Italian ef-
forts to separate France and Britain
over the Spanish question, M. Daladiey
declared:
The London conversations (of April
28-29) reinforced the Franco-British
entente-an entente which threatens
nobody. which. on the contrary, is q
means toward European peace"
NJ Daladier and his foreign minister
Georges Bonnet. met British leaders
in London recently and strengthened
the political and military ties between
the two powers.
Big Concessions Asked.
Political informants said that. de-
spite French efforts to resume the
Rome talks, Italy is demanding con-
cessions France is not likely to make
The direct cause of a break in the
conversations is laid to shipment of
arms through France to government
Spain. Shorn Of diplomatic techni-
calities, italy seems to have demanded
the France choose between Italy and
Russia.
| Russia has added pressure for per-
! y, |,
| France into government Spain.
| Diplomatic sources say she has
threatened to quit the French-Britist
bloc in European politics unless such
