BRITISH APPRECIATION
(Received October 8, 11 a.m.)
! RUGBY, October 7. The news of the proclamation of : an. arms embargo by President Roose- ! velt last iiight is welcomed in London. Attention is. given particularly to the President's statement that in the specific cu-cumstancos 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 of the belligerents do so at their own risk," and satisfaction is expressed at the President's attitude, which is regarded as indicating that any,action decided upon by the Governments in the League oi 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 the American Secretary of State, Mr. Cordell Hull, emphasised anew in Washington today—although no doubt facilitated by full and candid information on the development of the situation which the British Government has regularly made available to the State Department.
