BRITISH SEE U. . DESERTED ON OIL fLeft Holding Bag,” Declares English Source—League Action Uncertain. By the Associated Press. LONDON, November 26.—High British quarters showed concern today over what effect the League of Na- tions’ delay in action on oil sanctions against Italy might have on public opinion in the United States. A British source made the terse ob- servation that the United States “is left holding the bag.” ‘What action the League will take on the project for shutting off oil from Italy—as the United States has recom- | mended from both Italy and Ethiopia ~still had not been determined. Although American diplomatic and trade officials were watching the situ- ation closely, stated that there had been no ex- changes between the two governments. Duce Seen Successful.

It was officially stated in Whitehall it was authoritatively | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., lialian Flag Raised Over Makale that “the British policy on oil sanc- tions remains unchanged.” Pressed for a full definition and | clarification of the policy, however, officials refused to say whether Great Britain would demand action at Geneva as soon as Premier Laval's status in the situation was cleared up. | It was pointed out authoritatively that Great Britain had agreed in prin- ciple to the Canadian proposal that oil should be added to the embargo- | against-Italy list if the other nations | on the League Sanctions Committee agree and if such sanctions could be made effective. Britain Has One Vote. However, it was stated that such | action only could be taken at Geneva | and that Great Britain has only one | vote on the committee. Although obviously worried by the repercussions in the United States due | to the delay at Geneva, authorities said no assurances had been conveyed | to the United States on the matter and that the British regarded the delay | as only temporary. SESSION LIKELY DEC. 6 OR 9. Rumania, India, Russia Ready to Enlarge Embargoes. GENEVA, November 26 (#).—League of Nations’ officials said today the meeting to discuss the imposition of an oil embargo against Italy prob- @bly would be December 6 or 9. Rumania and India have joined with Soviet Russia in expressing readiness to extend the existing embargoes against exports to Italy to include oil, coal, iron and steel. India made no reservation, but Ru- mania, like Russia, made the ac- ceptance conditional upon its being instituted by all producing and ex- porting states.

ROME, November 26.—Italians have made two apologies to two American physicians and their wives who said they were menaced by a Fascist stu- dent mob in Padua last Saturday, it was said at the American Embassy today. The embassy added, however, it still may make representations to the Ital- ion government regarding the incident. Flags Torn From Car. ‘The Americans—Dr. and Mrs. Fred- erick P, Moersch and Dr. and Mrs. J. L. Bollman of the Mayo Institute, Rochester, Minn.—said the students in the university town ripped Ameri- can flags from their automobile, which bore a British license plate. The prefect of Padua, the embassy said, offered an apology to the Amer- ican consul, sent from Venice to in- vestigate. The prefect and other au- thorities said the students who par- ticipated in the demonstration had apologized on the spot, through an in- terpreter, to the Americans. Their superior ordered the apology, it was said. The apology was followed by the students’ cries of “Long live Amer- ica!” according to a report from the Venice consul to Breckinridge Long, United States Ambassador. Protests Considered.

WIDESPREAD MOVEMENT SEEN. Japanese Military Attache Predicts Great Autonomous State. PEIPING, China, November 26 (#). —Creation of the Eastern Hopeh au- tonomous state, authorized yesterday, is only the beginning of a widespread self-government movement in North China, it was declared today by Lieut. Col. Tan Takahashi, Japanese mili- tary attache here. Lieut. Col. Takahashi predicted Gen. Sung Cheh-Yuan, North China overlord, favored by Japan to head the autonomous state in that area, would participate in the organization of such a government. The autonomy issue, the Japamese attache insisted, is insolvable to the Nanking govern- ment. Arrival of a battalion of Japanesz troops at the garrison here, swelling the military strength from 300 to 800 troops, was believed in Chinese quar- ters to presage a new turn in the autonomy movement.
