Ships From Med.
(By Tne Associated Press)
Undated Oct. 24, —Wheth
er Great Britain will actual
ly withdraw any warships
from the Mediterranean in
return for Italy’s removal of
soldiers from Libya, is consid
erable of a mystery.
One authority said that the
naval concentration remains
and that no orders have gone
forth for any reduction. A
bargain was also denied in
the report.
Widespread reports would
call the cruisers Hood and Re
nown, home.
Italy’s peaceful penetra
tion of Tigre province, be
yond the lines now occupied
was also reported.
Mussolini was pressed by
Paris and London for action
on peace terms. League del
egates believed that the date
for the launching of a general
economic boycott would be re
legated far into the future if
peace parleys materialize.
The lessening of the tension
between Italy and Great Bri
tain is expected to be follow
ed by a renewed drive by La
val to start peace talks.
