AMERICAN EXPORTS TO ITALY WASHINGTON, October 31. (Received Nov. 1, at 5.5 p.m.) It now transpires that among the considerations which prompted the President to issue an emphatic statement against trading with the belligerents were reports transmitted' to the State Department showing considerable increases in American' exports of cotton and oil to Italy this month, and- the fact that many companies had written to the State Department asking if they might accept contracts from Italy. It was confirmed to-day on official authority that President Roosevelt's statement was intended to be more comprehensive than a mere warning against war business and was calculated to discourage all United States trade with Italy. In other words, the President in effect threatened to wield the big stick by branding business men, if circumstances justified, as war profiteers, willing to embroil the United States in war for the sake of a few dollars. In the meantime, it is significant that, while the President is feeling his way carefully and endeavouring to the utmost to observe neutrality, nevertheless events have already forced him into an advanced position, much in line with the urgings of Messrs Stimson and Kellogg, and he in effect designated Italy as the aggressor, which is expected, to have important effects at the next session of Congress. GERMAN GOODS FOR ITALY LONDON, November 1. (Received Nov. 2, at 1.45 a.m.) The News-Chronicle's Prague correspondent 'says the Abyssinian Government has purchased from Czecho-slo-vakia 100,000 Mannlicher (old pattern) rifles, each with a bayonet, scabbard and sling, and 120,000,000 rounds of ammunition, paying £300,000, partly in cash and partly_ on credit Delivery will be made through British Somaliland. The Daily Telegraph's- Geneva correspondent says unprecedented consignments of coal and other merchandise from Germany to Italy are traversing Switzerland, causing the greatest congestion on the Italian frontier station of Chiassm, where long lines are packed with goods trains, shunted on sidings, to await despatch. Swiss railwaymen are working special night shifts to cope with the flow of traffic. APPLYING THE SANCTIONS NEW ZEALAND'S PART EXPLANATION BY MR FORBES (Per United Press Association) HANMER SPRINGS, November 1. " It is our intention to carry out whatever decision is come to by the Council of the League of Nations," said the Prime Minister, Mr G. W. Forbes, when explaining enforcement of the arms and financial sanctions against Italy by the Dominion in his opening address in his election campaign at Hanmer this evening. Mr Forbes told a large audience that already sanctions one and two, dealing respectively with supply and export of arms and finance, had been enforced by the Dominion through an Order-in-Council. The League had asked that they be put in operation forthwith. Sanction three, prohibiting the import of Italian goods, and sanction four, prohibiting the export of key products to Italy, were being considered by the Council of the League, and the New Zealand Government expected to receive its decision in a few days.

Mr Forbes explained the Dominion's obligations under the Covenant of the League, and the pledge to stand by the League in any effort to prevent aggression by one member. The League had carried on a good many years, he said, and it was admitted might have acted in one or two instances. But when it came to an attack by Italy on Abyssinia that constituted a violation of the Covenant entered into by Italy and other countries. The League had adjudicated on the position, and had decided that Italy was the aggressor. Italy had not only agreed to the Covenant, but was bound by treaties, one of which pledged her to enter into arbitration with Abyssinia. That was disregarded. "We all know the dreadful effects.of war, and everything should be done to prevent the horrors of war coming to us again," Mr Forbes said. New Zealand, by signing the Covenant, had thus expressed a desire for the maintenance of peace through the League. The challenge by Italy could not be allowed to go by. Unless the League had acted people could have said good-bye to it, and every country would have started arming to the teeth. It was felt that in carrying out our obligations under the League we would be doing something towards securing peace. When asked whether Parliament, if the time came, would send men overseas to meet any development in the ItaloAbyssinian situation, Mr Forbes was emphatic that at present there was not the slightest likelihood of the necessity .arising, "but I am certain that if the necessity arose to send men away there would be so many volunteers offering in the country for any likely service that their numbers would provide all the men we would want," he said. " I don't think at the present time there is the slightest chance of New Zealand being involved in a war or in taking any further action than that provided under the sanctions proposals." A resolution was carried expressing thanks to Mr Forbes and continued confidence in the Government, with appreciation of its courageous action.
