London. April 12 ?A declara tion dtsigued to forestall further German-Italian expansion toward the Dardanelles and st<lll leave the way open for appeasement of Italy was under preparation tonight by Prime Minister Chamberlain for delivery tomorrow to an extra ordinary parliamentary session. Kdouard Daladier. the French premier, was ready to back up the British stand with blunti words of his own in a parallel declaration tomorrow. The air, land and sea forces of Brita'in matched those of lierv every ready French ally in rising to the new slogan, "We've Got to Be Pre pared." which flames from every other London billboard. Warpianes sped over the east coast of Britain in all-night) patrol an extraordinary precaution against any "lightning thrust. Anti-aircraft units were swollen well past full peace-time strength. One hundred and twenty BriMsh warships ^churned the Mediterra nean, most of them at or near the island of Malta. Forty French nav al vessels were said to be on ac ! tive duty in the Mediterranean. Chamberlain, in Parliament to morrow, is expected to give a pro visional guarantee of Greek-Turk - ! ish independence. "Unfriendly Act" I He was reported authoritatively I to have decided to say that Britain would consider any action threat ening the independence of these two countries as an "unfriendly act" against Britain. Some diplomats thought the Premier also might give a flat military guarantee to Greece. Chamberlain is expected to con demn the Italian invasion of Alba ilia (whose national assembly to day offered the crown of Zog to the Italian king, Vittorio Km anuele). but to give Mussolini an other chance to prove peaceful In tentions in the Balkans and the Mediterranean. This policy was condemned in some quarters as a retreat) to the Munich appeasement policy and was said to have been determined upon despite opposition of some members of the cabiiieL who (?lean break with Mussolini Three "Reason ijnu Ulwri- Int i ?' a t a? oi t.he Prime Minister said Cham berlaln had three reasons for re fusing to do this: , l. (Jhambcrlain b^lievos that, it war star's, Mussolini can be won over or persuaded to remain neutr al (though ChatnlH'Vlain is said to admit the price would be high). chamberlain iielji vea the al ternatlves to appeasement are "war or economic chaos." 3. Mussolini has given fresh as surances that the Italian troops will be withdrawn soon from Spain and his invasion of Albania will not be extended. The Greek governmeiu today ac cepted an Italian nolft giving Mus solini's assurances lha<> the land and sea frontiers oi Gretce Will be respected. ' The faction in the cabinet op pos<-.d to further efforts to con dilate Mussolini was said to be led by Leslie Hore-Belisha, war secretary; W. S. Morrison, who answers in the House of Commons for the defense coordination mtn istry. and Oliver Stanley, president of the board of trade. This faction believes that Mus solini realizes his country would be devastated, bis people starved by Anglo-French naval blockade, and his armies eventually beateu by superior military strength and economic power of any anti-axis coalition. This facWon argues that. De cause of these considerations, the only way to force Mussolini to be have Is to denounce the Anglo Italian agreement concluded last year and to threaten to meet any further expansion coup with arm ed force.
