AMERICA'S ARMS EMBARGO.
ACTION APPRECIATED IN BRITAIN. RUGBY, October 7. The news of the proclamation of the arms embargo byPresident Roosevelt is welcomed in London. Attention is given particularly to the President s statement that in the specific circumstances of the Italo-Ethiopian dispute he desires it to be understood that any United States citizens "who voluntarily engage in transactions of any character with either belligerents, do so at their own risk. Satisfaction is also expressed at the President's attitude, which is regarded as indicating that any action decided upon by the Governments in the League of Nations, in their efforts to restore peace, will not be impeded by the fact that the United States is outside the League. The decision of the United States Government is more appreciated in London as coming entirely from its own initiative, as Mr. Cordell Hull emphasised anew in Washington to-day, although there is no doubt that it was facilitated by the full and candid information on the development of the situation which the British Government has regularly made available to the btate Department.
