AMERICAN OIL SUPPLIES
MERE RESTRICTION WOULD SUFFICE. GENEVA, February 11. (Received February 12, at 11 a.m.) The Oil Committee estimates that Italy’s oil stocks are sufficient for only tiro and a-half months. As America furnished only 6 per cent, of Italy’s imports in 1931-34, it is considered that mere restriction of United States supplies would suffice to enable the League to impose an effective embargo. ABYSSINIAN VICTORY IMPORTANT POSITION CAPTURED. ADDIS ABABA, February 11. (Received February 12, at 1.5 p.m.) It is announced, despite the silence of the Rome communiques, that the Abyssinians, under Ras Nasibu and Wehib Pasha, after heavy fighting, expelled the Italians from Curat, 50 miles south-east of Sasabnneh, as the result of a surprise attack. Severe losses were suffered by both sides. The Addis Ababa correspondent of ‘ The Times ’ confirms the capture of Curat, which commands important water supplies, by 200 Abyssinians after a hand-to-hand struggle in barbed wire.
