By United Press
GENEVA, April 2o.-Great Bri-
tain warned the League of Nations
today that if it fails to settle Italys
war against Ethiopia, Britain may
have to take independent action
against Italy.
In an ominous speech to a spe-
cial session of the League Council,
Anthony Eden, British Foreign
Secretary, said Britain is ready to
consider new economic and hnan-
cial sanctions against Italy, and
that existing sanctions must be
maintained.
This speech followed one by Ba-
ron Pompeo Aloisi of Italy in
which he said Italy demands COM
plete domination over Ethiopia as
the price of an armistice. Wolde
Marian, for Ethiopia, insisted on
immediate enforcement of military
penalties against Italy.
Points to League Duty
cit is our manifest duty as mem
bers of the League" Mr.. Eden said
Eat least to maintain existing eco
nomic and financial sanctions.
In addition to the action under
Article 16 (tle punitive article)
which already has been taken, His
Majesty's government are ready to
consider any new economic and
1nancia1 sanctions
Joseph Paul-Boncour of France,
who spoke after Capt. Eden, en-
phasized his opinion that despite the
failure of the Committee OF 10 to
achieve peace, the League should
persist in it's efforts for a settlement.
Vladimir Potemkin of Russia COM
mented that within the League it
self there is tendency to treat an
aggressor with tolerance and indul-
gence." He added that Russia is
preoccupied with Germany as well
as with Italy.

AGED LAW MAY
BLOCK RECITALS
City's Expenditures for Free
Concerts Limited by
State Statute.

An old state law limiting munic-
ipal musical assessments to $1,000
annually appeared this afternoon to
have blocked adequate financial
backing for four free symphony con-
certs in Garfield Park this summer
by members of the indianapolis
Symphony Society.
Councilman John A. Schumacher,
a member of the society, was to have
introduced an ordinance tonight
asking for an appropriation of $500
to finance the proposed concerts.
The Anticipated state law, accord
ing to Clyde E. Baker, attorney for
Mr.. Schumacher, limits the amount
which city can spend annually on
musicians to $1,000. In view of the
fact that the city park board has
$500 already appropriated for music,
Mr.. Schumachers request could be
for an additional $700 only.
Mr.. Schumacher conferred today
with Mayor Kern to determine
whether or not the Park Board
would contribute its $500 toward the
proposal. Mr.. Schumacher indi-
Gated after the conference he would
ask the council for $70O tonight.
