GENEVA, October 1.-THE full
Sanctions Committee of the Assem-
bly, of the League Of Nations, compris-
ing the membership represented in
Geneva, minus Italy, today adopted
the recommendation of q Subcom-
mittee that a general arms embargo
be placed against Italy and that pres
ent embargoes against Ethiopia be
lifted.
The recommendation was made by
the Committee of 16, formulated to
decide what sanctions should be ap-
piled to punish Italy for attacking
Ethiopia.
It made its suggestions shortly after
Baron Pompeo Aloisi and six other
members of the Italian delegation had
left Geneva for Rome.
Embargo Effective Tonight.
The embargo is effective tonight.
The recommendation for the en-
barge against Italy is based on Presi-
dent Roosevelt's list of implements
of war"
The immediate effect of lifting the
embargo against Ethiopia is that EN-
peror Halle Selassie's empire will be
able to receive in the space OF very
few days all kinds of armaments with
which to carry on her defense against
Italy.
BY acting today the committee per-
mitted the entrance of arms into
Ethiopia, beginning tonight.
Huge Stores at Djibouti.
Huge stores of arms destined for the
Ethiopian government are reported
stored in Djibouti, French Somaliland,
where they were ordered held by the
French government. Djibouti is only
two days from Adds Ababa by train.
A small subcommittee was set up to
study whether any materials should
be added to the Roosevelt list of arms
and munitions in the application Of
the embargo.
The resolution, which was drawn up
by the French and British delegations,
provides that those countries which
have not imposed embargoes on Italy
should do so at the earliest possible
moment.
The idea which dominated the
Committee of Sixteen was that the
various countries could be guided by
the Assembly resolution of 1921.
BY the terms of this resolution,
small countries could contribute less
than great nations to the application
of sanctions, but with the understand
ing that they must make clear to the
League just what they intend to do.
The question arose as to what Mus

PREPARES
To LEVY EMBARGO
Parliament Called Week
EarIy-Arms Ready
for Ethiopia.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
LONDON, October 1.-THE govern
ment today called Parliament to meet
October %, a week earlier than sched-
uled, saying requirements Of public
interest necessitated the change.
The action came directly after de-
velopments at Geneva indicated first
sanctions against Italy will be applied
tonight.
The British government announced
it stood ready to release munitions to
Ethiopia the moment the League of
Nations approves such action. just
after League committee at Geneva
had recommended application of
an arms embargo against Italy and
removal of the embargo applied by
some nations against Ethiopia.
Earlier, officials had confirmed the
governments refusal to permit a radio
broadcast last night by Baron Pompeo
Aloisi, Italian representative at
Geneva, to be transmitted to the
United States by a British station.
They said facilitating the broadcast
was considered inadviSable.
Recall Explained.
An announcement from No. 10
Downing street explaining the recall
Of Parliament said:
When the houses of Parliament ad-
journed August adjournment leso-
lutions provided that if public interest
required they should meet again at an
earlier time the lord chancellor and
speaker should give necessary notice.
"The government considers that
public interest requires that Parlia-
ment should meet October %. The
lord chancellor will accordingly take
the necessary steps to summon the
House of Lords that day, and the
prime minister has invited the speaker
to give the requisite notice for sum-
moning the House Of Commons"
1t was believed the action was taken
to obtain thorough discussion of the
international situation and the British
governments policy toward the League
before dissolution of Parliament, ex-
pected about November l, and pre-
liminary general elections expected to
be held late in November.
Bingham Visits Office.
United States Ambassador Robert
w. Bingham visited the foreign ofiice
this afternoon.
Authoritative quarters said no pro-
tests had been received against the
governments refusal to transmit
Aloisi's speech.
Although newspapers in Rome and
Paris, as well as Geneva. carried bold
headlines on this country's refusal to
afford radio facilities to Baron Aloisi,
"or any other Italian spokesman" few
morning newspapers mentioned the
fact.
Viscount Halifax, minister of war.
visiting Shefield, home of Great
Britain's steel industry, made a speech
last night which was interpreted in
some quarters as forecasting an early
government appeal to the industry for
help in supplying materials needed for
new defense program.

ATHENS, October ll.-Jubilant
Royalists looked today for word from
King George II as to whether he
would return Immediately to the
throne regained in a bloodless coup
d'etat.
One unconfrmed report said the
King would not return from London
until majority of the nation shouts,
come home" a nationwide plebis-
cite on the question of restoring the
monarchy has been set for November 3.
Another rumor had the King wing
ing to Athens by airplane, but still
another went the rounds that he
feared to become a puppet of Gen.
George Kondylis, author of yesterdays
swift overthrow of the 11-year-old
republic.
Monarchists Celebrate.
Adherents of the monarchy in
demonstrated vociferously with cries
Of long live King George"
Gen. Kondylis. former minister of
war, who assumed the regency, said his
government would be temporary pend
ing the Kings return.
From Paris came a report that King
George was refusing to return in view
of the circumstances under which the
coup was effected, saying Greece
could get King in the person Of
Prince Nicholas, Georges uncle and
father of the former Princess Marina,
now the Duchess of Kent.
Gin Saragoza, Spain, Prince Eu-
gene Lascaris, pretender to the
Greek throne, declared his followers
would convert Greece into a river
Of blood" unless he was placed on
the throne. He termed George a
"usurper.")
Republican Move in Doubt.
The question asked on street cor
ners was, What are the Republicans
going to do?"
Premier Tsaldaris made 1t plain
that I'VE did not resign. We were
turned out"
With the National Assembly ad-
journed until after the plebiscite the
regency settled down to work, de-
claring Tsaldaris' domestic and for
eign policies would not be changed.
Kondylis, Little Corporal to his
followers, once was an ardent Re-
publican. He deserted the exiled
Eleuterios VeniZelos, however, to align
himself with Tsaldaris.
Some time ago he adopted the
view that the return of King George
would be the best form of govern
ment. He led the successful govern
ment attack last March against a
revolt allegedly created by the Veni-
zelist faction.
