SUPPLIES TO ITALY
POSSIBLE BOYCOTT
FRANCO-BRITISH LABOUR
ACTION
LONDON, August 27.
The Paris correspondent of "The Times" says that a meeting last weekend between Major Attlee, deputyleader of the British Labour Party, and M. Blum, the French Socialist leader, at Paris, is arousing interest, as it is believed thai they discussed the possibility of joint British and French Labour action should either the League or the Governments concerned fail to avert an Abyssinian war. The proposed action, it is suggested, might include refusal to handle essential supplies consigned to Italy.
The Socialist Press openly advocates such action, but the rest of the French Press is anxiously deprecating any discussion of possible action that could be taken in the ".event of a Geneva breakdown, on the ground that the Italian' attitude, will thus further be hardened. ' ,
The semi-official paper *'Le Temps" goes even further, declaring that since unanimity is required at Geneva; it is in any case premature to talk of sanctions.
