OIL BAN WARNING
BY ITALY REPORTED
Envoy in Paris Declared to
Have Informed Laval
Embargo Is War.
BY the Associated Press.

oy ING AsSoCldteu FIeSbs
PARIS, November 23.-Italy was
reported unoficially today to have
warned France that an oil embargo
against her means war.
Genevieve Tabouis, a political OBJ
server, who is close to the government,
said in the newspaper L'Oeuvre that
Vittorio Cerruti, the Italian Ambas-
sador, disclosed this Fascist attitude
in a talk with Premier Pierre Laval
yesterday.
League Committee to Meet.
Cine Leagues Committee of Eight
cen will meet next week to consider
the feasibility of fixing date for an
embargo upon shipments to Italy Of
oil, coal, iron and steel. Authoritative
London quarters said the British gov
ernment would support such an en-
barge If the League approves it. EN-
peror Halle Selassie said if an appeal
of the American Government against
oil shipments to Italy is respected, it
would be the most serious economic
blow that could be given Fascism)
Quarters usually well informed rep
resented Laval as being opposed to an
oil embargo, fearful that it would
shatter all hopes of peace.
Not Oil Exporting Nation.
France is not an oil-exporting ma
ton and does not produce enough
coal for her own needs. Protests
against sanctions are growing in
French business circles.
Ambassador Cerruti called upon La
val again today but officials said he
was merely keeping contact and that
nothing new" had arisen.
L'Oeuvre said an unofficial repre-
sentative Of Premier Mussolini Is
sounding out France as to whether
she would really support Britain in
the Mediterranean If the British fleet
attacked while enforcing sanctions.
Evening star., 1935-11-24

because an alllance Is an mpOSSl"
bility, efforts are being made to bring
about an understanding leading to a
close diplomatic cooperation.
The roar of the British lion and
the scream of the American eagle,
they say in London, may not be
hdrnorizing, but they can certainly
cause sleepless nights in Rome and
Toxic.
The attitude Of the President Of
the United States and that Of the
State Department has been encourag-
ing to the British government.
The American Government has gone
out of its way to make the somewhat
inocuous neutrality act, voted by the
Congress last August, an instrument
for sanctions. The President has fol-
lowed the letter Of the act by declar-
ing officially an embargo on war ma
terials alone. Then, the principal
organs Of the administration have
transformed that into sanctions by O
direct and pressing appeal to the ex-
porters OF such raw materials which
might help Italy to continue its re-
sistance to the order Of the League
to lay of Ethiopia.
After these signs of renewed love
between the two English-speaking ma
tons, it was Britain's turn to show a
willingness to go ahead 100 per cent
in support of the United States.
When the Japanese decided that
they wanted another important slice
of China thus threatening important
American and British commercial in
tereSts, the British government turned
to Toxic and said:
Look out, Ue are living no,p.
since last September, in a ne,p
Oorld. Treaties must be respected.
You t0on't be dllotued to repeat the
Mdnchukuo feat. The League 1ptH
apply sanctions against you as it
has done against Italy. And be-
ttUeen the British Empire and the
United States t1e can make things
difficult for you. Be content NTH
tohat you haze and don't try to re-
uipe the past; otherwise, pe can
ruin you economically In less than
sir months
In its sanctions against Mussolini
America Is always a Jump ahead of
the League of Nations.
In talking to Toxic, Great Britain
Is the power which takes the initiative,
while the United States remains In
the background.
But the eagles shadow is Just as
menacing to Japan, as the silhouettes
Of the British men of war are to italy
in the Mediterranean.
X n n
In Europe the French are afraid lest
they be drawn in war in which they
are but little interested-a war against
Italy for the sake of Ethiopia.
They may have to play the game
of the League, since Laval has COM
mitted France to follow Geneva's de-
cisions, and France no longer plays
