Formal Appeal Is Made by
England for Review
of Policy.
LONDON TALKS OF CRISIS
Cabinet Chiefs Are Rushing
PeII-MelI for Crucial
Conference.
Copyright, 1885. by United Press,


LONDON, Aug. 21.-Great
Britain has appealed to the
United States government to
review its policy toward the
Italian-Ethiopian dispute in
the light of acute danger of
war, it was learned officially
today.
Sir Samuel Hoare, foreign secre-
tary, made the appeal personally
last night to Ray Anterior, charge
daffaires of the American embassy,
in a 45-minute conference at the
foreign office.
News of Hoare's appeal came after
of the council and until recently
prime minister. said on his arrival
from his home at Lossiemouth,
Scotland, for tomorrow's emergency
cabinet meeting:
Il regard the present situation as
the most serious we have had to
face since 1914"
Representatives of the chief OPP
position groups in Parliament and
of Australia, New Zealand ana Can
ada, were called into consultation
with Hoare and Anthony Eden, min
lister for League affairs.
1t was understood that an ener-
gency session of the cabinets for
eign affairs committee was called
for p. m. today to consider decl-
sions for tomorrow's full cabinet
meeting.
Determined on Strong Policy
HOare told Mr. Anterior that as
the result of the failure of the
British French-Italian conference
at Paris, Great Britain was deter
mined to pursue strong policy at
the League of Nations Council meet
ing at Geneva Sept. 4, and at the
assembly meeting five days later.
The cabinet was ready to re-
consider its attitude in the crisis,
Hoare said, and he asked that the
American government do likewise.
There was every indication that
no leader thought Macdonald was
overstating the gravity of the situa-
ton when he said it was the most
serious since 1914.
George Lansbury, leader of the
Labor Party, and David Lloyd
George, leader of the Liberal Party
the two biggest opposition figures
in Parliament-made separate Wis
its to the foreign office.
Asked Not TO Be Neutral
Atherton made his visit to the
foreign office at the unusually late
hour of 6 p. m
Diplomats believe that Britain is
seeking assurance that if the League
attempts financial and economic
pressure against Italy the United
States will refrain from insisting on
its rights as a neutral and from
overriding any penalties by traf-
ticking with any nation declared 10

Compromise Measure Is
Rushed Through in Less
Than Half an Hour.
NOW GOES TO HOUSE
Legislation Has Roosevelt

By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. 81.
The Senate this afternoon
approved legislation designed
to keep the United States out
of a possible foreign war.
There was no record vote on
the neutrality resolution.
The legislation was put through
after less than half an hours con-
sideration
1t now goes to the House, where
Speaker Joseph w. Byrns said the
Administration was anxious for its
passage, indicating it would be con-
sidered soon.
. The neutrality resolution, pressed
to the front as the European war
crisis developed, was a compromise
from a series of neutrality resolu-
tons introduced by the Senate Mu-
nitions Committee.
Refrain From Amendments
While not meeting all the de-
mands of members of the commit
tee, they refrained from attempting
to attach amendments to it so that
it could be speedily adopted.
Senator j. Hamilton Lewis Cd,
Ill, foe of the resolution, offered
substitute measure, but did not
press it.
Senator William E. Borah (R.,
Idaho) refrained from offering an
amendment to tighten provisions of
the resolution to forbid Americans
to travel, even at their own risk, on
belligerent ships. He said:
1T involves his nation if he is
killed. 1t is one of the things that
involves war psychology"
Roosevelt Keeps Silence
President Roosevelt at a press
conference, meantime, declined to
express any opinion on the neil
trality legislation. He also said he
knew nothing of any British appeal
for United States assistance in a
last effort to avert the Italo-
Ethiopian war. Some Senators ex-
pressed belief this country should
not mix in the negotiations.
The proposals considered by the
Senate were drafted by its Foreign
Relations Committee. and pro-
vided:
l. An embargo on shipment OF
American munitions to warning ma
tons.
2. Americans travelling on bellig-
erent ships 90 so at their own risk,
except when evacuating war zones.
3. American ports shall not be
used as supply depots for belig-
erent ships.
A. Licensing of all exporters and
importers of munitions.

Republicans Circulate
Petitions Asking Nice
To Stop Job Curtailment

County Republicans are circulating
petitions asking Gov. Harry w. Nice
to refrain from further legislation
which curtails jobs given out by the
County Commissioners.
Measures enacted at the present
session of the Legislature deprive
the county commissioners of the
right to appoint a number of en-
ployes heretofore named by that
body.
The petitions are being circulated
by a number of individual Repub-
licans, who drafted the measure after
the Governor signed the police and
county treasurer's office bills intro
duced in the State Legislature by
Senator Stedman Prescott.
The petitions did not originate in
either the Republican State Central
Committee or in the Republican
group on the Board of County Com
missioners, it was learned.
