A Geneva message says that authoritative quarters consider that there is every likelihood of oil sanctions being adopted at an early date. The Statistics Committee of th,s League of Nations is at present considering figures indicating that Italy has only eight months' supplies, excluding exceptional war requireL nients. According to the Rome correspondent of the "Daily Express," Italy's Supreme National Council of Defence lias decided i that if tlie Powers at Geneva proclaim 1 an oil embargo against Italy all the 10 classes of conscripts from 1901 to 1910, numbering more than 1,000,000, will be called to the colours. The Grand Fascist Council met at 10 p.m. yesterday and did not adjourn until 3 a.m. to-dav. A - communique states that after hearing Signor Mussolini's report on the political and military situation tlie Council reaffirmed its determination to attain the objectives in East Africa for which the present military effort was begun. Further, it determined the lines of Italy's counter-actions in the event of additional sanctions being enforced.
