WIDESPREAD SANCTIONS

ACTION TAKEN BY MANY NATIONS FAILURE OF ATTEMPTS AT PEACE FURTHER DELAY THOUGHT USELESS By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received 8 p.m. London, October 30. BRITAIN hopes that widespread economic sanctions will be introduced against Italy about November 14 because of the failure of attempts at peace, says an Associated Press correspondent. The Government is disinclined to accept further delay in the hope of improving the prospects of conciliation. Britain expects more appeals for special treatment from certain smaller nations, but is hopeful that sufficient support will produce a strong and rapid effect. The committees discussions include transit facilities, presumably involving the carriage of goods from non-League members through League members’ territories. Apparently there is no intention of pioposing a ban on Italian ports and aerodromes or debarring Italian vessels from League ports. ' The League announces that 32 nations are now applying sanctions No. 2, 29 nations sanctions Nos. 3 and 4, and 12 nations have accepted mutual assistance. Canada, Uruguay and Afghanistan are adhering to all sanctions. Austria s acceptance of the arms embargo and Argentina’s adherence to financial sanctions are among recent decisions. Many States have made important reservations which are expected to necessitate lengthy debates.
