LONDON, October 31.—Great Brit- ain today made new representations to Mussolini against the continuation of attacks upon it in the Italian press, high authoritative sources announced. Similar representations were made in regard to the alleged antl-British | propaganda on the Italian radio. This action was taken yesterday, it was disclosed in informed circles, when Sir Eric Drummond, British Ambas- sador to Rome, called on Mussolini. Sir Eric, these sources revealed, adopted a firm attitude with Il Duce | and advised him that Britain cannot | relax its fleet activities in the Mediter- ranean as long as the present situa- tion remains unimproved. Sir Eric explained further the Ital- fan withdrawal of one division of troops from Libya was satisfactory as far as it went, the informed spokesman continued, but the fact remains that | the troops still there are greatly in excess of pormal strength.- ‘Today, after this disclosure, Ttalian students demonstrated outside the British Embassy. shouting: “Down with England.” ‘They marched about the streets of Rome and frequently were cheered by | the populace. ‘The banners they carried denounced the British leadership in the imposing of sanctions against Fascist Italy. Mussolini was told the British feel their position still is being constantly misrepresented in Italy. Until there is a general “clearing up” | of the whole situation, Sir Eric is re- ported to have told the Italian dic- | tator, as regards the singling out of British and British interests, there will not be any relaxation of the existing fleet precautions. i The action was no surprise to Lon- don, where a steadily mounting Anglo- Italian tension has been noted in the last few days in quarters where it was known Britain was greatly displeased by the fact that Itafian propaganda in Egypt and the Mediterranean sector had never diminished. ‘The renewed tenseness was illustrat- ed in the departure yesterday of three more destroyers to Mediterranean waters, 7 ‘This ship movement was not ex- plained either by the foreign office or | the admiralty, b@t it was pronounced in informed quarters indicative of the | Increased gravity in the Mediterranean situation, which has caused alarm in | official quarters. | | Observers believe the Geneva lull, terminating today, at its most critical | | period, will be followed either by defi- | nite improvement and progress toward peace or a new crisis, perhaps expand- | . ing beyond the borders of the Italo- | Ethiopian conflict. ‘The possibility was acknowledged in informed quarters that the Geneva talks may lead to a virtual ultimatum to Mussolini, warning him there will be no rewards for his invasion of Ethiopia when peace is finally restored. The British government issued a |land, has never seen anyv one larger | lite warning against trade with Italy in advance of the League meeting. An official announcement, referring to Italian trade debts to Great Britain, said: “Firms which contemplate export of further goods to Italy from this country should bear these facts in mind. “In these circumstances, his maj- esty's government cannot assume re- sponsibility for endeavoring to secure payment for goods so shipped.” Some British circles believed th warning might cause almosy complete cessation of trade between Britain and Italy, even before the economic sanctions, cutting off imports from Italy and exports of certain-key prod- ucts, were in force. .
