A DEADLOCK
MUTUAL AID COMMITTEE
OBJECTIONS BY BRITAIN
(Received October 19, 1 p.m.) GENEVA, October 18; The mutual assistance sub-committee reached a deadlock when Mr. Wills, the British Boatd of Trade expert, stated that Britain opposed financial compensation to countries incurring losses owing to sacrifice of Italian trade, and that she also opposed tariff preferences between members of the League designed to prevent non-members of the League profiting by the League's economic boycott of Italy, but urged that enlarged quotas might be exchanged between members of the League as recompense for loss of Italian commerce. Russia, Turkey, and other nations supported the compensation proposal, which Greece submitted.
M. Titulescll reaffirmed Rumania's demand for compensation, and subsequently walked out, presumably as a protest against the British attitude.
