INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG sTRANDvOLD

On December IL, the. League of Ma
tions penalties committee met at
Geneva as per schedule, but its mega
tive achievements were decidedly at
variance with the schedule which
called for the fixing of a date on
which oil, coal and steel sanctions
were to be imposed upon Italy in
an effort to stop its war against
Ethiopia.
As already reported Great Britain
and France have been trying to delay
the application of these sanctions, be-
lieving that a better way could be
found, so, their foreign ministers, Sir
Samuel Hoare and Pierre Laval, con-
cocted socalled peace scheme which
was submitted to the League commit
tee. In that body the claim was
made that it had been convoked for
the purpose Of discussing oil sane
tions, not peace propositions, and aft
er brief debate it was decided to do
nothing further about oil embare Os
until after the League council-some
time this week.-Mrs. had chance to
consider the joint British-French
peace proposals.
Details OF Scheme.
Carefully shaped hints had been
given beforehand as to the nature of
the peace plans, and although they
stirred up great deal of Indignation,
it was nothing compared to what fol-
lowed when the actual details were
made known.
In the briefest possible form, this
is what London and Paris offered:
Italy was to get possession of about
one-half of the territory of ETH pia
for colonization purposes, and also to
take a decisive part in the govern
ment of the other half. In return for
this, Ethiopia was to be granted a
harbor in Eritrea, which is Italian
territory.
1t may be recalled that not so
many weeks ago Great Britain and
France led the movement to invoke
League of Nations sanctions against
Italy; that Great Britain and France
we're the first to condemn Italy's at
titude toward Ethiopia; that they
we're the first to stigmatize and con-
denim Italy as an aggressor. and to
demand penalties because Italy had
violated the League covenant.
Now these same powers, Great Brit
ain and France. not only condone wha,
they a short time ago considered an
international crime. but actually at
tempt to give Italy a reward for its
bloody aggression.
No Acceptances.
To keep a retreat open, Sir Samuel
and Laval had stipulated that the
peace offers were to be withdrawn II
