PARIS, March 31

There are different versions of M. Paul Boneour’s reference to Signor Mussolini’s peace plan before ■ the French Commission on Foreign-'Affair!;. According to ,th e mo s t reliable authorities h e said that it would be wrong systematically to oppose this proposal providing for closer and continuous co-operation between tl'i© four V powers ; but he pointed out that France would accept no pact that was to ' be superimposed on :the League of Nations, or one failing to recognise the l ■ political and leg-1 e quality as between the great and the small -powen*. 5 : ;

In view o$ thi s declaration significance is attached, to the arrival, of M. Titulescu (Foreign Minister of Roumania) {or conversations with M. : Daladier (Prime Minister'of France); It is bed-ieved % that' -Roumania’is Foreign Minister : will * urge France to sponsor th© demand made by th e Little Entent e that it shall be accorded membership, as* a -fifth powefrj-;in.v atoy pact evolving from the Italian plan. M, Titulescu Jo expected to., proceed next to London- on a similar mission on behalf of Roumania, Czechoslovakia and Jugo Slavia, who recently concluded a virtual. alliance, with * the, intention of forming a complete i“bl°ck’’ acting in foreign affairs as ; a new great power. -l«;n ',/viii- > '
