Speech Read With Sympathy In

LONDON, November I P.-The
suggestion Of American Secretary of
State Cordell Hull for greater CO.
operation of the United States with
other governments for peace was re-
garded here today as definite con-
tribution to international good will
and peace.
Hull's speech. prominently displayed
in all newspapers, was read with SYM
pathetic interest in government quar-
ters. which. however, abstained from
comment.
Great Britain was especially inter-
ested in what the United States might
do in respect to restriction of raw
materials to Italy.

selves secure from dangers Of conflict
with belligerent countries Is TO close
our eyes to manifold dangers in other
directions"
He said attempts by belligerent to
exercise jurisdiction on the high seas
over trade with its enemy may give
rise to difficulties no less serious than
those resulting from the expectation
of arms and implements of war"
His remarks about "inelastic' neu-
trality rules recalled that President
Roosevelt himself has frowned on the
mandatory feature of the arms en-
barge. The President has said:
History is filled with unforseeable
situations that call for some flexibility
Of action. 1t Is conceivable that sit
uations may arise in which the
wholly infiexible provisions . might
have exactly the opposite effect from
that which was intended. In other
words. the inflexibile provisions might
drag us into war instead Of keeping
us out"
Peace Move Held Duty.
Wide significance was attached here
to Hull's words when he said:
Our foreign policy would indeed be
a weak one If it began or ended with
the announcement of neutral posi-
ton on the outbreak of foreign war
Il conceive 1t to be our duty and in
the interest of our country and of
humanity not only to remain aloof
from disputes and conflicts with which
We have no direct concern. but also to
use our influence in any appropriate
way to bring about the peaceful set
tlement Of international differences"
With these words. Hull appeared in
close accord with those who have held
that this Government, if unable d.
rectly to cooperate with the League
of Nations in its efforts to halt the
East African war, at least should take
all steps possible to insure its non-in-
terference with the Legue actions.

known as the British foreign enlist
ment act.
Cites Tive Proclamations
Issued by Roosevelt.
Other legislation has been passed
by Congress from time to time, in
cluding that enacted during the
World War-I refer particularly to
the act Of June IS. 1917-and that
enacted as recently as the last ses-
sion OF Congress-the joint resolu-
ton approved August 81, 1885. This
last mentioned resolution. intended
to supplement prior legislation, is
designed primarily to keep the
United States out OF foreign wars.
Pursuant to this resolution the
President has issued two proclama-
tions regarding the war now un-
happily existing between Ethiopia
and italy. One of these declared
the existence Of a state of war
within the meaning and intent of
section 1 of the resolution, thus
bringing into operation the embargo
on the shipment Of arms, ammuni-
ton and implements of war from
the United States to either bellig-
erent, and the other declared that
American citizens who travel on
vessels of the belligerents shall do
so at their own risk.
The effect Of issuing the procla-
nation bringing into operation the
embargo on the shipment of arms
was automatically to bring into
operation of provisions of section
3 of the resolution prohibiting
American vessels from carrying
arms, ammunition or implements
Of war to any port of belligerent
country named in the proclama-
ton, or to any neutral port for
transshipment to or for the use
Of the belligerent country.
Any discussion of the avoidance
of war, or of the observance OF
neutrality in the event of war,
would be wholly incomplete if too
much stress were laid on the part
played in the one or the other by
the shipment, or the embargoing of
the shipment. of arms, ammuni-
tion and implements of war.
Declares Arms Embargo
Not Complete Panacea.
The shipment OF arms is not the
only way and. in fact. is not the
principal way by which our COM
merce with foreign nations may
lead to serious international diff
ficulties. To assume that by
placing an embargo on arms We
are making ourselves secure from
dangers of conflict with belligrent
countries is to close our eyes to
manifold dangers in other direc-
tions.
The imposition of an arms en-
barge Is not a complete panacea
and we cannot assume that when
provision has been made to stop
the shipment Of arms. which as
absolute contraband have always
been regarded as subject to seizure
by belligerent, we may compla-
Gently sit back with the feeling
that We are secure from all
danger.
Attempts by belligerent to ex-
ercise Jurisdiction on the high
seas over trade with its enemy, or
with other neutral countries, on
the theory that the latter are sup
plying the enemy, may give rise to
difficulties no less serious than
those resulting from the exporta-
ton of arms and implements of
war. So also transactions of any
kind between American nationals
and a belligerent may conceivably

SANCTION MENACE
Position Is Held Damaging
to Success of Embargo
Upon Italy.
BY the Associated Press.

oy lIic AooOSiatSN Acoos
LONDON, November THE
strong position of the United States
in the oil industry today was looked
upon in government and oil circles as
damaging to the chances for success
of an oil embargo against Italy.
The Geneva action for the oil en-
barge made it conditional on the CO.
operation of states not enrolled in the
League of Nations, and yesterdays
speech by Cordell Hull, American Sec
retary of State. is accepted here as
ruling out his Nations participation
IN the embargo.
U. S. Unapproached Yet.
The only other way such an en-
barge could be imposed would be by
agreement of private companies. 1t
was learned unofficially the British
government has approached neither
the United States Government nor
American oil companies in the matter.
Little credence was given in oil
distributing circles to rumors that
the big international companies, such
as the Anglo-Iranian. Royal Dutch
Shell and Standard Oil might consult
on shutting off their product to Italy.
Action Considered Futile.
Such action would be futile, it was
pointed out, since it would simply
divert business toward the smaller,
unaffiliated American companies. Brit
ish oil companies are keeping in close
touch with the Board of Trade, but
only for an exchange of views, 1t was
said, as no isolated action is con-
templated.
Hull's suggestion for greater CO.
operation Of the United States with
other governments was. however, re-
garded as a definite contribution to
good will and peace.

Although official confirmation was

The Boeing bomber had undergone

tests prior to the crash. The fatal

to press this question Italy is building
now two dreednaughts of $4,000 tons
each and the French are following
Italys example.
The Navy Department has been
adamant about the size of the battle
ship and the British are now prepared
to give in and agree that this coun-
try should build capital ships of $4,000
tons each, or even larger if necessary.
The type the Navy Department will
choose is uncertain. The present 35,-
pO0-ton ship is still a favorite with our
naval experts. although there are
many who believe that a new type of
$4,000 to 10000 is more adequate for
our needs.
Caliber Thorny Question.
The caliber of the guns appears to
be the only thorny question which
might cause certain discussions be-
tween the British and the American
delegates. The British maintain that
a 14-inch gun is ample for any battle
snip, Wnlle most OF the american gum
merry specialists believe in the 16-inch
gun. But this technical question Is
not likely to cause any serious dissen-
sion. There is not much difference.
1t is said. in the destructive power Of
q IA or l6 inch gun when the range
does not exceed $4,000 yards. The 16-
inch gun is more reliable at range of
over $4,000 yards. but there are very
few occasions when battleship comes
into action at such range.
Many American naval experts believe
that a compromise might be reached
by America obtaining three 14-inch
guns for every two 16-inch ones in the
turrets of our capital ships.
The American naval delegation
which will be composed of Admiral
William Standley. chief Of naval op-
erations; ambassador at large and dis
armament expert" Norman H. Davis,
and Ambassador Bingham will begin
their conversations in London on De-
