fßy Telegraph—Pres3 Association—Cbpyriclit.)
LONDON, December 28.; For his forthcoming visit to Tunis, the French , Premier, M. Daladier, has decided to cut down his naval convoy drastically, in order to avoid giving the impression of a demonstration which the Italian Press .has labelled "provocation." Consequently, instead of 23 warships, he will be accompanied by only one cruiser, the Emile Bertin, and a destroyer division. He himself is to travel in the cruiser Foch.
The Aden correspondent of "The Times" says that demonstrations qf loyalty to France continue in Jibuti. Eight thousand Arabs, Somalis, Indians, and Jews marched to Government House carrying banners inscribed: "We do not want, to suffer the same' fate as Ethiopia. We want to live. Jibuti must remain French.* All roads leading to the Italian Consulate have been closed to natives.'
