Speaker Joseph w. ByrnS said a
vote on accepting a Senate compro-

President Roosevelt went directly

conferees who had stood out against
the compromise. He urged its ap-
proVal by the House, adding, how

would like.
The compromise would permit

companies still could be superim-

not more. The holding companies
would have to be part of an integ-

tCOpYright, 1850. pY OHlleQ FIeSSf
LONDON, Aug. 22.-The British
cabinet. in an anxious special SEES
sion, decided tonight to withhold
any punitive action against Italy
pending renewed international ef-
forts to avert war in Ethiopia.
The government. faced with a
grave situation threatening not only
war in Africa but in Europe as we'll,
decided Professionally to maintain
the embargo on shipment of arms TO
both Italy and Ethiopia while
France and Britain start further
peace efforts through diplomatic
channels.
Lifting of the embargo against
Ethiopia would have constituted a
direct break with Italy, branding her
the aggreSSor.
The arms embargo will be main
tanned at least until the special
league meeting Sept. 4. This was
believed to imply that if Italy re-
iects the fresh British overtures the
embargo would be lifted.
