French Try
Bring Russia
Into the Fold
UNDATED. May 16 UP) —
France tried to find a compromise
to bring Russia into the French
British front while Hitler and
Mussolini inspected German and
Italian fortifications along the
French frontier.
French diplomats hoped to
bridge the confliction of views
between Britain and Russia, by
working out a plan for a strong
alliance which is acceptable to all
three nations.
Russia’s stand for reciprocal
military pledges among the three
powers was regarded as elastic
enough to permit a compromise
with the British, who feared that
a hard and fast alliance might
force Japan and Spain into still
closer ties with the Rome-Berlin
axis.
Diplomats of Britain, France
■and Russia will have an oppor
tunity to face negotiation in Gen
eva Monday when the League
Council meets, but in London it
was indicated that Britain might
not wait until then for her next
move.
Mussolini toured the Piedmont
of France which coincided with
Hitler’s inspection of Germany’s
new western fortifications for
which German military experts
claim “invincibility.”
New symptoms of Geman-Pol
ish friction appeared in the Pol
ish press which complained of
the additional expulsion of Poles
from the German frontier zone.
The Hungarian-Polish rela
tions on the contrary were des
cribed by the pro-government
newspaper “Kurjer Poranny” as
friendly despite “German efforts
to interefere with them."

British government issued a plan

The government in a paper

dependent Palestine state, in
such treaty relations with the
United Kingdom as to provide
satisfactory commercial and strat

Indignant Jewish leaders,

f r a bitter fight against the plan.
They will seek its defeat both in

Under the plan, 75,000 Jewish
