FRENCH DENY THEY | ASKED GERMAN AID Disclaim Discussion of Nentral- ity if Italy Makes War Paris, July 11 (UP) —.Reports from Berlin today that France had initiated diplomatic inquiries regard- ing Germany's position in case of conflict between France and Italy | were described at the Quai D'Orsay as “a ridiculous fantasy.” | Advices from Berlin, quoting “a bigh official German ‘source,” said that Premier Mussolini of Italy pre viously had unofficially approached | Germany through Italian military | and naval attaches at Berlin with a | proposal that Germany pledge neu- | trality in case of Franco-Italian dif- | ficulties. The advices, which said Germany indicated she would decline the alleged proposal, also said the French government had been ap- prised of the Italian move and that | French Ambassador Pierre De Mar- gerie had told German Foreign Min- | ister Julius Curtius of France's mis- | givings that such a move would ef- fect Franco-German relations. “There is absolutely nothing on which such a rumor could be found,” | #aid the I'rench foreign oftice in de- nying that De Mragerie had visited Curtius for that purpose. “There are no other negotiations which might have started it.” Attaches Query Germany Berlin, July 11 (UP)—A high offi- elal German source claimed today that Italian military and naval at- taches in Berlin had ‘“unofficially” approached Germany with a pro- posal for German neutrality in case of Ttalo-French conflict.
