EtTGBY, June 19.
The Lord Privy Seal, Mr. Anthony Eden, answering Parliamentary questions in regard to the proposed agree,ment for a general embargo on. the export of arms to Bolivia and. Paraguay, said that the Governments of 34 countries were prepared in principle to agree to the imposition, of this embargo.
The Italian Government had, however, made its agreement conditional on agreement by the Japanese Government. The latter had n/t yet given formal agreement, although it had explained that no export of arms had in fact been sent from Japan to Bolivia or Paraguay. 'The formal coming into force of the embargo was, accordingly, for the moment delayed. ; The British Government was continuing to hold up issuing licences for the export of arms to the two belligerents, but it was not preparedd;o give an undertaking that this unilateral action would be pursued indefinitely and in all circumstances.
