‘(Associated Press Foreign Staff) PARIS. Dec. 23—l=‘oreign Min- ister Plerre Laval, soon to go tc Rome to talk things over with Benito Mussolini, has firs: laid his plans for Italic-French cooperation in the Danube before Sir John Simon, British Foreign Secretary. A long conference that started over Lhe luncheon table yesterday gave the Frenchman opportunity thoroughly to explain the project.

France and Italy both carry great weight in the two cdmps into which the Balkans ewe divided and believed that region might lose its nickname “the pwdver kq of Eur- ope" if Laval and Mussolini get together in friendship.

(C. P. By Guardian’: Special Wire)

MONTREAL, Dec. 23—Royal Canadian Mounted Police tonight had under close observation in the three Maritime Provinces and in British Columbia l4 of the l8 per- sons who had. failed to surrender voluntarily under a blanket war- rant charging them with conspir- acy to defraud the Dominion and Quebec governments of $5,000,000 through illicit movement of alcohol.

The men, Montreal headquarters stated, had had the warrants serv- ed on them since the deadline for voluntary appearance ended Sat- urday, and would be brought to Montreal for arraignment immed- iately after Christmas.

Announcement to this effect was made here today by R. C. M. P. of- ficials responsible for rounding up the 61 persons named in the war- rant. All but 18 had already appear- ed here for arraignment while of these l8, four are outside the coun- try and all the remainder were taken into custody since the deadline for voluntary ‘surrender expired Satur- day morning, police stated.

Seven arrests will be made in Prince Edward Island; three have been made in New Brunswick and three in Nova Scotia, and one in British Columbia. Others not yet arrested are Monty Rosebourne and Prank Paturel of St. Pierre and Mi- quelon Islands, Alan Robert-son, St. John's, Nfld., and William A. Yule, Perth, Scotland.

The Dominion police body will bring the arrested persons here on Wednesday and Thursday for ur- raignment, police headquarters stat- ed. Today a. constable from thc Montreal Division left for Prince Ed- ward Island. Another constable was to join him at Rimouski, Que, and the two would pick up those detained at the Island Province and return via Nova Scotla and New Brunswick, picking up thc other seven enroute.

Supt. J. F. Mead. head of thc Montreal division, R. C. M. P., sent wiped orders at noon Saturday for, the arrests to be made and tonight i he was advised the commands in thc three provinces are completing the round-up.

As a result 57 persons are expected shortly to appear for trial before the Court of Kings Bench here. The list is headed by (he four Bronfnlan brothers. sam, Allan. Harry and Abraham, who are on hail nf $10000 each; three other Montrealers; and
