FRENCH-ITALIAN FRONTIER
“The Foreign Ministers to-night got into their stride in the second attempt to find a way out of the deadlock which threatens to divide Europe into two camps,” said Reuter’S correspondent in Paris. “Mr Byrnes opened the proceedings by calling for a discussion on the economic clauses of the Italian peace treaty, including the vexed question of reparations. “The Italian delegation in Paris has presented the Foreign Ministers with a new memorandum on the FrenchItalian frontier, suggesting a compro-
mise bn the French claim for the mountain plateau of Mont Cenis 40 miles north-west of Turin. The Italian proposal would leave the territory under Italian sovereignty, but would give the French a large part of the ydro-electric power produced there during the summer months. The Italians would get the bulk of the power during the winter. “The memorandum has not yet been considered by the Foreign Ministers. The Italian delegation was meanwhile endeavouring to settle all French-Italian border problems by direct talks with the French.
