cias said today Italy will listen to

(The League Council unanimously

aggressor any nation which initiates
hostilities before December ~
These officials continued to declare
that nothing can halt II Duce's ex-
petition to East Africa and denied
any fear that Great Britain's fleet will
bar its way.
Anxiety Over Fleet Quoted.
Anxiety over the mobihzing of the
British feet subsidized somewhat. OFF,
cials emphasized that Italy and
Britain had assured each other that
neither has aggressive" intentions.
Informed sources said those assur-
ances supplement a firm belief in
Italy that Britain will hesitate to
make war without the full authority
of the League.
There is belief, too. that Britain's
demand for sanctions will eventually
subside and in no event will a unani-
nous agreement for them be obtained
in the League Council.
Mussolini's oft-expressed intention
TO go ahead with the League, without

Stringent control of pedestrians to

AMUSEMENT by the Commissioners. who
turned it over to Corporation Counsel
e. Barrett Prettyman for study.
Van Duzer appeared before special
meeting Of the Board Of Comnls-

regard traffic signals 81.
The meeting was broadcast by Sta
ton WRC through arrangement with
The Star.
The traffic chief formally presented
his recommendation after suggesting
the plan during a radio broadcast
last night as one effective step in the
campaign to end traffic deaths.

"They walked across the street In

to the Commissioners:
Every possible effort has been made
by the authorities during the past few
years to improve the traffic situation
in Washington and to reduce the
number of traffic accidents and fatali-
ties. Conditions have not materially
improved.
Drastic action is needed not only
against drivers who either recklessly,
carelessly or negligentiy operate their
cars, but against pedestrians who will
fully or negngently fail to cross the
streets at proper places and thereby
endanger themselves and others.
AT the present time We are only
regulating a part of the traffic, that is,
the vehicular traffic. In order to have
proper control of traffic the pedestrian

Leagues Sanctions
Rule Embarrasses
Shipping From, u. S,
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The decision of the Council of the
League of Nations to apply sanctions
against Italy or Ethiopia should either
this country in difficult position.
Should II Duce decide to proceed
with his aggressive plans regarding
Ethiopia. it appears now probable that
the nations affiliated with the League
will declare an economic embargo on
all exports to Italy.
The United States, in accordance
with the neutrality act, will, upon the
Presidents proclamation, Join in such
an embargo-but only in so far as &C
tual war weapons are concerned.
The list published yesterday by the
State Department does not include
such raw materials as copper, cotton
and wheat, which are essential to a
nation like Italy to carry on a war
successfully. Consequently the enor-
nous surplus in the United States of
such raw materials will be at Italy's
disposal-if she has the necessary
cash to purchase them.
Complication May Arise.
Experts of the State Department
realize the serious complications in
which the United States might become
involved in case sanctions are applied
against the aggressor nation.
What Is worrying the State De-
partment principally is the wording
Of article 16 of the covenant of the
League, which will be applied against
Italy should Mussolini maintain his
adamant attitude.
That article provides that should
a member of the League resort to war
in disregard of the covenants under
articles IL, IS and IS. it shall, ipso
facto, be deemed to have committed
an act of war against all other men,
bers of the League, which hereby
undertake Immediately to subject it
to the severance of all trade or
financial relations, the prohibition of
all intercourse between their nationals
and the nationals of the covenant
breaking state and the prevention of
all financial, commercial and personal
intercourse between the nationals of
the covenant-breaking state and the
nationals Of any other state. whether
a member of the League or not"
These last few words mean that if
the League decides on a blockade
against Italy, the citizens of the
United States-a montague member
will be Immediately subject to the
same measures of prohibition to have
any kind Of intercourse with Italy as
if they were members of the League.
The main hope of the State Depart
ment to avoid frictions with the Brit
ish government is that Italy does not

Old Stumbling Block Still Is in

Philip Murray. vice president of the
United Mine Workers, today predicted
"either a make or a break" before
nightfall in negotiations to end the
soft coal strike.
"The negotiations have reached
such a stage that / think there will
be something definite before night
fall" Murray told reporters when a
committee Of two miners and two APP
palachian producers resumed work on
a new Appalachian wage and hour
agreement.
That was interpreted as meaning he
thought an agreement would be
reached or the negotiations ended.
Action Seen Near.
A further indication that either
q break or an agreement was near
came at noon In a recess of the COM
mittee Of four to permit a caucus Of
the producers committee of nine.
A difference of one and one-half
cents in the amount of the pay raise
to be given miners who dig and load
coal still was the principal obstacle
in the path of an agreement to end
the walkout that started Sunday mid
night. Operators offered a 7l2-cent
increase; miners asked 9 cents.
Several disputes over working con-
ditions and a wage differential scrap
involving principally Tennessee, Ala
bama and Virginia still remained to
be settled finally. however.
The committee resumed work pre-
cisely eight hours after it quit last
night. A l7-hour session yesterday,
without q break even for meals, failed
to produce an agreement.
As the negotiations were resumed,
four members OF the new National
Bituminous Coal Commission were
sworn in. They conferred briefly with
Secretary Ickes and began trying to
find Office space.
Four Sworn In.
The four sworn in were c. E.
Smith, Fairmont, w. Va, editor;
Charles F. Hosford. jr., Pittsburgh;
Percy Tetlow, former Ohio district
president of the United Mine Workers.
and George E. Acret, Los Angeles at
torney. Walter F. Maloney of Kansas
City. fifth member, did not reach the
Capital in time to take the oath with
the others.
The Guffey coal act providing for
creation of the new commission had
been used to forestall strike threats
for months. The commission, how
ever, had taken no part in negotia-
lions.
Thus far in the strike, little or no
disorders have been reported from the
field.
A survey by operators was said to
have shown that 10000 unsold cars
of coal were above ground, leading
some of those close to the Negotiat-
ing Committee to believe the mine
owners would not worry If q settle
ment were delayed some time.
Edward F. McGrady, Assistant Sec
rotary of Labor, remained in close
contact with the Negotiating Com
mittee yesterday, but did not sit IN
on the conferences.

expected to approach the quarter
million mark, the tenth annual Presi-
dents Cup regatta tomorrow gets I'M

Sailing craft hold the spotlight for
the opening, and on Saturday the
drumfire of exploding motors will
rock the Potomac as many OF the
beSt-known power-boat drivers in the
country roar away in quest of the
honor that goes with championships.
A threat of bad weather hung over
the regatta today, with a forecast Of
rain and cooler, and wind shifting
to northwest. Conditions were not,
however, expected to be as bad as
those last year, which forced a one
day postponement of the events.
AS final preparations went forward
today for what has come to be recog-
nized as one of the foremost water
classics, interest was centered on the
event from which it takes its name
the Presidents Cup.
Bringing together half dozen speed
sters in what is known as the Gold
Cup class, this race will be in three
15-mile heats-the first, Saturday, and
the last two, Sunday-providing a
rigorous test for the stanch craft
seeking possession of the cup which
has been in competition since 1926.

British Assurances Seen.
This support, given by Premier
Laval of France in a brief speech
supporting Great Britain, was inter-
preted by many observers as lndlcat-
ing that France has received salts
factory assurances from Great Britain
that in any future European con-
f1ict Great Britain will insist on the
same scrupulous application of the
covenant as she is calling for IN the
dispute between Italy and Ethiopia.
Some said they saw in Lavais
speech a particular indication that
Great Britain will stand by France
in the event of any complications
growing out of any attempt to destroy
the independence of Austria.
The Council probably will meet
again tomorrow to discuss Emperor
Halle Selassie's request that a COM
mission of neutral observers be sent
to the Ethiopian frontiers to follow
the situation and to forestall any
military clashes.
More Conversation Seen.
Some observers said they saw in
the speeches of both Anthony Eden
Of Great Britain and Maxim Lit
vinoff of Russia an indication that
conversations on the sanctions"
which might be employed against Italy
will be vigorously pursued.
Eden said in his speech that while
the Councils report was being drafted,
"the governments will have an OPP
portunity to consider whether, and
If so, how. anything further can be
done to safeguard peace"
Council Can Urge Sanctions.
In connection with this angle,
League officials stated that the Coun-
Gil has the power to put into its
recommendations, if it wishes, sugges-
tions for economic and financial sane
lions and other general measures Of
restraint against nation which
launches war after rejecting the
recommendations.
The president of the Council, En-
rioue Ruiz Guinazu of Argentina,
presented the recommendation for
procedure under Article XIV. to make
and publish" a report on the case
and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF
which, if adopted unanimously, would
be considered an act of war against
all League members, under Article
XVI, leading to sanctions.
(Article XVI of the Covenant pro-
vides that any member Of the League
resorting to war in disregard of Ar
ticle XIV shall be deemed to have
committed an act of war against all
other members of the League, leading
to severance of trade and financial
relations and other measures to pro-
tect the Covenant.)

Included in their number were
