(By Telegraph-
-Copyright.)
(Received 26, 10.50 a.m.) PARIS, Oct. 25. The pro-Italian newspaper Le Jour claims from "the surest sources" a statement that Herr von Ribbentrop counselled Signor Mussolini to play for time and not to provoke a rupture of the efforts for non-intervention in Spain. He intimated that Germany 's minimum colonial demands would be for the return of Togoland, the Cameroons and Ruandauruni and the creation of a vast African internationalised territory to be jointly exploited by England, France, Germany and Italy. Herr von Ribbentrop, the paper adds, recommended Italy not to confine her pro-Arab eampaign criticism to the British Administration of Palestine but to submit concrete proposals, including one for international government of Palestine on the Saar model to replace the British mandate. Herr von Ribbentrop is reported to have asked Signor Mussolini to link up with the German- Japanese antiCommunist pact.
