Rise of Eden Increases
War Clouds Over Europe
Latest Steps May Drive
Congress Into Isolation
Position.
BIZ United Press .

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. %. = APP
pointment OF Capt. Anthony Eden
as British foreign secretary probably
will accelerate the United States
course toward political isolation
from Europe and the League of Ma
tons collective security program
officials here believed today.
They believed Capt. Eden's ap-
pointment assures a strengthening
of the British governments pro-
League policy and almost immediate
moves to extend the Leagues eco
nomic and financial sanctions
against Italy to include oil, steel
and other essential war ma
terials."
Americas course toward isolation
will be accelerated, they believe, by
fears that extension of League
sanctions may precipitate a genera.
European war, and the determine
ton of an apparent majority in
Congress that the United States
shall not be drawn into another
foreign war.
Permanent Neutrality Law
The Administration repeatedly
has voiced similar determination
There is some difference of opinion
between leaders of the legislative
and the executive branches of the
government concerning the meas
ures by which Americas isolation
from foreign wars can best be as
Sured.
These differences are expected to
be thrashed out in permanent neu-
trality legislation to be introduced in
the coming Congress to replace the
present American neutrality law.

LONDON, Dec. 23.-British and

They have returned to London.
1t was learned that the converse
tions-and the satisfactory results
were confined to the staffs them
selves and did not involve other Off
Gals in France.
AS this revelation was made, it was
said on reliable authority that the
appointment of Capt. Anthony Eden
as foreign secretary means:
l. Great Britain will support the
League in its penalties campaign
against Italy.
2. No more peace proposals to
Italy are contemplated.

Italy knows that the death sentence
has been passed on the recent

ROME, Dec. 23.-Italians learned
with rage today that Anthony
Eden, regarded as Premier Benito
Mussolini's arch enemy, had been
named foreign secretary of Great
Britain.

had taken off the mask at last, and
wanted war.
They expressed the firm opinion
also that if Eden-as they expect
him to attempt-succeeds in OBJ
tanning application of an oil en-
barge against Italy, it will mean
war.
Mussolini's first reply to the ap-
pointment, regarded as an open
challenge, was expected to be re-
enforcement of the army in Libya
and a new front effort to speed up
the military campaign against
Ethiopia.
