ARMS TO ABYSSINIA
THE EMBARGO BROKEN Received Sept. 2.1, 11.55 p.m. LONDON, Sept. 27. The Times’ Addis Ababa correspondent, in a copyright message, says: “It is now clear that the arms embargo has been definitely broken. The Government expects a shipment of arms from Belgium daily. This cargo was banned in July and was removed from the ship lying at Antwerp, although King Selassie had already paid for it. The shipment includes 1700 rifles, 2300 carbines and seven billion rounds of ammunition, worth £25,000. A number of Swiss anti-aircraft guns has reached Addis Ababa and Swiss instructors are teaching native gunners how to use the guns.”
