Nations Warned of Serious Consequences

Received Tuesday, 8.5 p.m. WASHINGTON, Nov. 11. A synopsis of the Italian Note dispatched to all nations approving of sanctions was made available by Ambassaddr Augusto Rosso shortly after submitting it to the United States Government for its information. The Note made the strongest and fullest protest against the seriousness and injustice of the procedure adopted against Italy and challenged the authority of the League's Co-ordina-tion Committee to apply sanctions. In effect Italy questioned whether the sanctions programme was in fact a collective League measure. The Note warned that Italy would be forced into reprisals against economic and financial pressure and called attention to the serious consequences not only to Italy but also to the economic world generally that would result. Each Government was the individual judge of and responsible for the measures against Italy, the Note said, because the Italian Government did not recognise the legitimacy of the Co-ordination Committee. The Note concluded: "The Italian Government asks to be advised how your Government in its free and sovereign judgment proposes to act with regard to the measures proposed against Italy."

Caravan Routed SMAET WORK BY NIGHT Eeeeived Tuesday, 7 p.m. LONDON, Nov. 11. It is reported from Asmara that Italian troops recovered the bulk of the goods looted by Abyssinians from Has Gougsa's house in Makale, a quantity of which was recaptured from a caravan near Betmariam. The iifty guards of the caravan were routed by Italian native troops as the result of smart work by a reconnaissance aeroplane. The aviator parachuted a message to the Askari column disclosing the whereabouts of the looters, and the Askaris made a forced march by 'rrijrht and intercepted the caravan, whose defenders, though they entrenched themselves on a hillside, were shaken by a bayonet charge and routed from the reserve line by a second rush. The Abyssinians lost 20 killed, and 10 were taken prisoners, together with 300 camels laden with agricultural goods r and other supplies.

NO NEWS PROM SOUTHERN FRONT. (Received This Day, 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, November .12. Emperor Selassie at headquarters states that he had heard nothing from the southern front, but the officials at the Palace are disposed to think that Ras Nasibu will return to Jyiga from Dagabur. This may be the prelude to a quick general withdrawal from Ogaden. NOTIFICATION OF IMPOSING SANCTIONS. MUSSOLINI COMPLAINS THAT ITALY WAS NOT ADVISED. (Received This Day, 8.35 a.m.) LONDON, November 12. The "Daily Telegraph's" Rome correspondent says that Italy's note protestinig against sanctions, also draws attention to what Musso'lini regards as flouting diplomatic courtesies and complains that it is only from the newspapers that he learned that sanctions were being imposed. Italy had received no notification either from the com-' mittee as a whole or the nations coinposing it.
