ENCF4 ULTNNATLN GIVES ITALY 10 DAYS TO SEEK PEACE
Credit Ban On ItaI y
Is Drastic Curb

Italian government forbidden,
but loans and credits to private
individuals in Italy are hkewise
forbidden. Thus, an Italian
shipper will be unable to arrange
any credit facilities for his goods
while Italian importers will have
to pay cash Immediately for
anything they purchase in the
countries of the League members.
Bond Sale Forbidden
Point four means the sale Of
stocks or bonds or other securities
of private Italian corporations or
societies are forbidden in the
League member countries.
Point five means that banking
and financial houses in the League
Of Nations must suspend all trans.
actions with Italian citizens or
their representatives.
Point six means the banks of
those nations cannot even com.
plete transactions already com.
menced with private Italian indi'
viduals.
Point seven means that these
prohibitions apply not only
against the Italian government
and Italian citizens but against
any third country or third party
of another nationality which seeks
to act as an intermediary for the
italian government or Italian
citizens.

The seven-point ban on finan-
cial relations with Italy voted by
the League Of Nations sanctions"
committee was viewed here today
as the most drastic step ever
taken by nations not actually at
war with one another.
It was viewed as the greatest
world boycott of a single nation
that history has ever witnessed.
If the members Of the League
of Nations carry out the seven
point ban, it was seen as virtu-
ally severing Italy's commercial
relations with the rest of the
world.
Halt Banking Credits
Point one of the ban means
that the nations which are mem
bers of the League must refrain
from granting any loans to Italy
and must prohibit the sale within
their respective territories Of any
bonds or securities issued by the
Italian government.
Point two means the League
members must halt all banking
credits within their territories for
the Italian government and must
suspend agreements already in
existence which provide for loans
or credits to the Italian govern
ment.
Point three means that not

Adds ABABA, Oct. IS QN.S0
All is quiet on the Ethiopian
fronts, according to governmental
advices, but a profound disturb
ance has been caused here by the
growing conviction that RaS Halle
Selassie Gugsa actually has gone
over to the Italians.
This already has been reported
from Rome, but the report was
first met here with indignant de-
malls and then with incredulity.
Now, however, the government
neither affirmS snor denies the
report, and, owing to the
notorious lack of communication
from the north, it is able to
declare it cannot say whether
Ras Gugsa has deserted or not.
Family Lost Money
Ras Gugsa is a great grandson
Of the Emperor John, whom
Menelik dethroned. He is there
fore a good candidate for the
Italians to make a pretender to
Emperor Halle SelaSsie'S throne.
Also, his father was killed
leading a rebellion against the
present Emperor, who then was
regent. After that RaS Gugsa'S
family was dispossesSed of most
Of its wealth.
Ras Gugsa thus had consider
able reason to incline an ear
to the Italians seduction.
italian war planes are flying

ing toward the capital another so
miles every day, but from official
announcements the Italian bomb

effect.
An official declared the natives

bombing, and after that, after OBJ
serving the relatively small dam
age, came out into the fields to

neither bombs nor pamphlets, ap-
parently only taking photographs.
At the same time two Italian
war planes bombed Alagi, south
of Makale. but did no damage.
Alagi was the scene of the first
battle of the Italo- Ethiopian war
Of 1896.
Likewise, one Italian bomber
tossed two bombs into an Ethio-
plan detachment near Makale,
but failed to produce a single
casualty.
AS the italians continue to
bomb without effect, the conf.
dence Of the EthiopianS rises, and
already they have a certain con-
temptuous attitude regarding the
famous Italian air army.

that obedience and patience in our

become wet, due to the very heavy
torrents through which the racers
had to drive in coming here for the
