France says it will not move militarily against Italy
Premier Laval told the Chamber of Deputies there would be no military or naval action against Italy unless Rome confirms a political shift away from war. He met ministers to discuss policy before tomorrow's debate, while aiming to maintain France as a peacemaker at Geneva. France remains opposed to military sanctions, with open mobilization seen as only possible after drastic Italian actions like attacking British ships.
