(CP)
Foreign
Minister
Georges
Bonnet
today
solemnly
warned
Italy
to
keep
her
hands
off
the
French
colonial
Empire,
telling;
the
Chamber
of
Deputies
that
"France
cannot
permit
any
one
to
touch
the
Empire
she
had
founded
with
her
blood."
Concluding
a
two
weeks'
debate
on
foreign
affairs,
Bonnet
also
declared:
"The
French
government
does
not
intend
to
disinterest
itself
in
Central
Europe.
There
must
be
an
end
to
the
legend
that
our
policy
has
destroyed
engagements
we
have
made
in
Eastern
Europe."
Premier
Edouard
Daladier
announced
that
France
and
Great
Britain
had
agreed
to
take
"necessary
steps"
to
meet
the
Italian
threat
if
Fascist
failed
to
leave
Spain
at
the
close
of
the
civil
war.
He
did
not
indicate
the
nature
of
the
steps.
