Plan to halt Italy's Ethiopia campaign proposed by Laval Hoare
Premier Laval of France and Sir Samuel Hoare outline a plan to end Italy's conquest in Ethiopia. Ethiopia would cede Tigre and Ogaden to Italy, grant a south of 8th parallel east of 36°E colonization zone to Italy under nominal emperor sovereignty, with an Italian resident governor as counsellor. Ethiopia would gain outlet to the sea via Assab or Berbera and retain Axum. Amharic Ethiopia would remain independent with League aid, Italy shaping the aid. The plan lacks a territorial link between Eritrea and Somaliland and is to be sent to Mussolini for acceptance as a peace basis or as a least-accepted alternative. A strict embargo would follow otherwise.
