BRITISH BACK
PARIS IN CRISIS

LONDON, Dec. 9 G.N.S0.
Britain today stands ready. if the
crisis should require the move, to
make strong representations to
Italy against the clamor for such
French territories as Tunisia and
Corsica.
So far, according to authorita-
tive circles, Britain is relying on
the undertakings of Premier Mus,
solini of Italy not to alter the
situation in the Mediterranean
promise embodied in the Italo-
British friendship declaration.
In spite of the tension developed
between France and Italy through
the italian campaign for return
of Rome's former territories,
Britain is resisting strong political
pressure to make a formal de-
marche to Italy regarding Tunis
and Corsica. The British govern
ment prefers to wait until it is
convincngly shown that II Duce is
not fulfilling his promise to main
tain the Mediterranean status. quo.

Premier Mussolini's spokesman.
II Duce has made himself the

for Mussolini, in the Giornale
D'Italia.

that all French and Italian ques'

His article appeared as scores
of Italian students were arrested
in new anti-French demonstra-
lions in Rome over the revived
Italian call for return of former
Italian territories now held by
France.
Tunis, Italy claims, is histori-
cally and racially Italian. The
Suez Canal is important to Italy
because it is the gateway to Etht'

of Italian demands for Corsica,
Nice, and Savoy.

The Italo-French accords Of
1895, arranged by Pierre Laval
when he was premier, are con-

said Gayda, because France
failed to keep her pledge giving
Italy free hand in Ethiopia.
