~ TOLONDON NAMED Norman H. Davis Heads Group to Attend Navy Cut Conference. By the Associated Press. An 11-man delegation of diplomats and naval officers was designated yes- terday by Secretary of State Hull as the United States team in the forth- coming London Naval Conference. President Roosevelt, who sometimes has styled himself the administra- tion “quarterback,” will give the sig- nals from Washington after explora- tory conversations abroad have indi- cated what plays are to be expected. Secretary Hull refrained from mak- ing any pronouncement of American naval policy in announcing the make- up of the delegation. President Roose- velt already has said, however, that past policies remain unchanged and that the United States will seek to limit future naval construction, To Sail on British Ship. The delegation, headed by Norman H. Davis, the President’s roving Am- bassador and American representa- tive in the preliminary naval talks held in London last year, will sail on the S. 8. Aquitania Friday so as to arrive before December 6. William Phillips, Undersecretary of State, and Admiral William H. Standley, chief of naval operations, will act with Davis. Ray Atherton, counselor of the American Embassy in London, and Jugene H. Dooman, Japanese special- ist in the Division of Far Eastern Affairs, were named as advisers to the delpgation. Dooman, who has had many years’ experience in the Far East, is fluent in the Japanese language and a long- time student of that nation's eco- | nomie, political, military and navnl‘ affairs. Noel H. Field of the Division of Western European Affairs, who at- | tended the last naval conversations, and Samuel Reber, secretary of the American Legation in Bern, Switzer- land, will act as technical assistants.

The weak attitude of the Western powers in 1932 has led them to believe that nothing will happen even if they were to take the whole of China. But this time “something” may happen. While nothing essentially new is occurring on the war fronts, the out- side powers are taking stock of the general situation and are girding themselves for new diplomatic actions.

The roar of the British lion and the scream of the American eagle, they say in London, may not be harmonizing, but they can certainly cause sleepless nights in Rome and Tokio. The attitude of the President of the United States and that of the State Department has been encourag- ing to the British government. ‘The American Government has gone out of its way to make the somewhat inocuous neutrality act, voted by the Congress last August, an instrument for sanctions. The President has fol- lowed the letter of the act by decla: ing officially an embargo on war ma- terials alone. Then, the principal organs of the administration have transformed that into sanctions by a direct and pressing appeal to the ex- porters of such raw materials which " m—— might help Italy to continue its re- | sistance to the order of the League | to lay off Ethiopia. * K ¥ X After these signs of renewed love between the two English-speaking na- tions, it was Britain’s turn to show a willingness to go ahead 100 per cent in support of the United States. ‘When the Japanese decided that they wanted another important slice of China thus threatening important GE | American and British commercial in- terests, the British government turned to Tokio and said: “Look out, we are living mow, since last September, in a new world. Treaties must be respected. You won't be allowed to repeat the Manchukuo feat. The League will apply sanctions against you as it has done against Italy. And be- tween the British Empire and the United States we can make things difficult for you. Be content with what you have and don’t try to re- vive the past; otherwise, we can ruin you economically in less than siz months.” * x ox % In its sanctions against Mussolini America is always & jump ahead of the League of Nations. In talking to Tokio, Great Britain is the power which takes the initiative, while the United States remains in the background. But the eagle's shadow is just as menacing to Japan, as the silhouettes of the British men of war are to Italy in the Mediterranean. * ok k % In Europe the French are afraid lest they be drawn in a war in which they are but little interested—a war against Italy for the sake of Ethiopia. They may have to play the game of the League, since Laval has com- mitted France to follow Geneva’'s de- cisions, and France no longer plays the first fiddle in that organization. France, too, is thinking of chang- ing its strategy in European poli- tics. Its Ambassador in Berlin, Francois Poncet—a politician by profession—is talking business to Hitler. An agreement with Ger- many is possible, if the French re- public decides to be reconciled with the idea of allowing Germany to become the supreme power in Cen~ tral and Eastern Europe.

He ordered his refusal certified to Presiding Judge Kimbrough Stone of | | the Court of Appeals for the designa- | tion of another judge to sit in the case. The companies had complained Judge Moore had shown ‘personal prejudice” in his ‘“one-sided” com- ment on the evidence in a trial in which they were acquitted November 11 on crithinal charges of violating the Sherman anti-trust law. The injunction suit sought to en- | join the companies from withholding | their products from three St. Louis theaters The refusal to sell their films to the theaters was made the basis for a restraint of trade charge in | the criminal action. e —— MEXICO HOLDING SEVEN LEADERS OF CATHOLICS Prominent Churchmen Are De- tained on Charges of Seditious Activity.

Although police refused any infor- mation, it was understood those ar- rested inciuded Jose Quevano, head of the League for Defense of Religious Liberty. Government agents, it was reported, searched the homes of several of the arrested persons as well as those of other Catholic leaders, and several other persons were said to have been detained. It was stated friends of the seven held sought an injunction to obtain their release, asserting the war de- partment had made the arrests.

OIL BAN WARNING BY ITALY REPORTED Envoy in Paris Declared to Have Informed Laval Embargo- Is War. By the Associated Press. PARIS, November 23.—Italy was reported unofficially today to have warned France that an oil embargo against her means war. Genevieve Tabouis, a political ob= server, who is close to the government, said in the newspaper L'Oeuvre that Vittorio Cerruti, the Italian Ambas- sador, disclosed this Fascist attittude in a talk with Premier Piérre Laval yesterday. League Commitiee to Meet. (The League's Committee of Eight- een will meet next week to consider the feasibility of fixing a date for an embargo upon shipments to Italy of oil, coal, iron and steel. Authoritative London quarters said the British gov- ernment would support such an em- bargo if the League approves it. Em- peror Haile Selassie said if an appeal of the American Government against oil shipments to Italy is respected, it would be the most serious economic blow that could be given Fascism.) Quarters usually well informed rep- resented Laval as being opposed to an oil embargo, fearful that it would | shatter all hopes of peace. Not Oil Exporting Nation. France is not an oil-exporting na- tion and does not produce enough | coal for her own needs. Protests against sanctions are growing in French business circles. Ambassador Cerruti called upon La- val again today but officials said he was merely keeping contact and that “nothing new” had arisen. L'Oeuvre said an unofficial repre- sentative of Premier Mussolini is sounding out France as to whether she would really support Britain in the Mediterranean if the British fleet attacked while enforcing sanctions. ITALY SHUNS CONFERENCE. Action Attributed in Geneva to Sanc- tions Resentment. i GENEVA, November 23 (/).—Ttaly announced her refusal today to at- tend an international maritime con- ference opening Monday under aus- pices of the Internatienal Labor Of- fice. Observers in Geneva attributed the action to Rome’s resentment over sanctions and said it indicated the Fascists would not attend meetings | here as long as an economic siege is in force against her. Questions of manning merchant terials to belligerent nations. Both President Rooseveit and Hull, in ad- dition, have tried by persuasion to dfs- courage shipments of potential war materials such as cotton, iron and ofl to Italy and Ethiopia. At his press conference, Hull was| asked yesterday for comment on Com- merce Department figures showing a substantial increase in October ship- pared with the previous month. He replied that at any time ship- ments of any commodity to Italy or Ethiopia became of abnormal volume the question whether they were prime, essential and immediate war mate- rials would be given attention. Below October, 1934, Figure. Some economists thought the Octo- ber increase was due to seasonal in- fiuences and from that point of view | not abnormal.

By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, November 23.—The Naval Conference to open here December 6 will be much larger than was originally expected, it was learned today. Although Great Britain has not vet received notification from all the dele- gates who are expected, the size of the delegations will exceed original plans. When the conference was first an- consideration in the Senate, several unsuccessful attempts were made to stipulate that Americans traveling in a war zone did so at their own risk. In that connection, the act as passed provides only that Americans traveling on ships of belligerent nations could expect no protection from their Gov- ernment in the event of an attack at sea. ‘The efforts of Secretary Ickes to dissuade American oil producers from shipping their product to Italy or Ethiopia meanwhile were studied in the light of an unofficial report from | Rome that Italy had warned France | that an oil embargo means war. U. S. CONSIDERS PROTEST. Rome Embassy Probes Complaint of Padua Demonstration. ROME, November 23 (#).—The | United States considered making rep- resentations to Italy tonight because of a demonstration against two physi- |clans and their wives, in which | American flags were torn from an automobile. | The embassy is investigating the | complaint of Dr. and Mrs. Frederick P.

Bollman of the Mayo Institute, | Rochester, Minn., that the two women were menaced by riotous Fascist students when they were in the university town of Padua. ‘Their automobile had English license plates, which was responsible for the | demonstration.
