maintenance of the credit Of the
borrowing nations based on
their gold reserve, a cOntinu-
ance of our commerce at its
present volume and industrial
activity with the consequent
employment of capital and
labor and national prosperity.
"My opinion is that we ought
to allow the loans to be made
for our own good"
Three days later President Will
son authorized the flotation Of
allied loans in this country.
War to Save Cash
The action was hailed by allied
Statesmen as making an allied
victory essential to Americ a n
prosperity. This was borne out
by a later dispatch to the State
Department from Walter Hines
Page. then American Ambassador
to Great Britain. In his dispatch,
dated March 5, 1917. Page said:
perhaps our going to war Is
the only way in which our pres
ent pre-eminent trade position
can be maintained and a panic
averted."
The disclosures were expected
to spur the congressional move
ment to bar all loans and credits
to belligerent nations.
Senator Bennett C. Clark Cd
of Missouri, member of the Sen

resolution to this eject would be
introduced early in the next Ses-

EUROPE LIKELY
TO MAKE i. ).
SCAPEG0AT
New Paris Move in Oil
Row at Geneva Hangs
on American Policy
BY KINGSBURY SMITH.
international News Service

Danger of new European
move to make the United States
the scapegoat for the League of
Nations in the Italo-Ethiopian
war crisis was seen here today.
Fear prevailed in high quarters
that if Great Britain again
moves for imposition of an oil
embargo and other drastic sane
tions against Italy, France will
seek to side,track the move by
insisting upon definite commit
ments for this Government con-
corning its willingness to partici-
pate in such an embargo.
If these commitments are not
Forthcoming from the Govern
ment, and there is no indication
they will be, France is held likely
to ballyhoo lack of American CO
operation as an excuse for not en-
forcing the oil embargo.
Waiting On Congress
Advices received at the State
Department here indicate that
Premier Laval of France still fears
imposition of an oil embargo
against Italy means war with
Premier Benito MuSSolini. The
French Premier is understood still
to be opposed to any such risk
and determined to resort to any
possible means Of averting it.
American officials here have
reason to believe the question OF
this Governments attitude will be
one of the first, if not the first.
avenues of escape to which he will
resort.
The State Department already
has given the British and other
foreign ENJOYS to understand that
this Government can make no
promise concerning an oil EN-
barge until Congress acts on new
neutrality legislation.
The British and French are un-
derStood to be DESTROYS of post
poning league action on the oil
embargo until Congress meets, but
whether the force of events will
permit such a delay remained
speculative.
British Public FESTIVE
1t was considered possible here
that British public opinion may
force the British government to
press for a showdown on the oil
embargo issue at Geneva as soon
as Britain has consolidated the
support of France and other Medi-
terranean powers for itself in case
it is attacked by italy.
Once the issue comes up at &C.
neva, the French are expected i'm
mediately to raise the question OF
American cooperation-and to in
sist upon definite commitments
from this Government.

LAVAL AWAITS
PEACE MOVES
OF EDEN
Speaks to Council But
Fails to Outline
French Position
BY MICHAEL WILSON
PARIS, Dec. rs (I.N.S.).-"N'S

your move"
This was the attitude adopted
by Premier Pierre Laval today
toward the British government in
reference to future Italo-Ethio-
plan peace negotiations.
Made cautious by failure of his
recent efforts, Laval, in outlining
the foreign situation to the minis
terial council, spoke at length
on the present status of affairs
but did not discuss the future
French position.
The premier, it is understood,
will not commit himself until
young Capt. Anthony Eden, newly
appointed British minister of for
eign affairs, makes the first step.
The bill on dissolution of the
Fascist and Semi-Fascist leagues,
which comes back from the SEN
ate to the Chamber of Deputies
this afternoon, was also discussed
by the ministerial council.
LavaPs cabinet, it is reported,
may ask for a vote of confidence
on the measure II the chamber at
temptS to modify the Senate'S
amendments.
Great bitterness was aroused in
France by the original content of
the proposed bill, which called for
outright dissolution of the leagues,
and a crisis was averted by modi-
flying the proposal to demilitariza-
ton of these groups.
AS it stands now, the bill effects
only the Royalist and the Com
munist leagues. the two groups
which openly carried arms.
