| DUGE MOBILIZES (TALIAN WOMEN Resistance to Sanctions to Be Preached in All Communities. (Copyright, 1935, by the Associated Press.) ROME, December 2.—Nine hun- dred of Italy’s mothers and widows of war dead, “mobilized” by Premier Mussolini, took Il Duce’s program of resistance to sanctions to the nation’s communities today. As the masculine army pushed its | campaign on the war front, the | feminine forces, formally proclaimed as the “advance guard to that fem- inine Italian army” opposing League of Nations penalties, went through- out the nation carrying the slogan, “Resist!” Gold star mothers and World War widows took their unprecedented charge from Il Duce in ceremonies vesterday and turned back to their homes today to marshal their bat- talions against the League after a reception by Pope Pius. | Crop Prizes Distributed.

Ardent Patriotism Cited. “The party regime is counting on you, on your sensibility. on your pa- tience and on your tenacity and counts, | above all, on that spirit of ardent patriotism that beats in the hearts of all Italian women,” Il Duce said. “If any one in the glorious and tragic years of the World War, when grievous news entered your homes, ! had told you that one day the coun- tries for which you had offered the youth of your sons would have fur- nished arms to the enemy, which is | fighting against Italian troops, . you | would have rejected the suggestion as | one seeks to obliterate an evil dream. “This is the reality of today.” ‘While Mussolini reproached thus Ttaly's former allies, informed sources said any negotiations for peace await- ed the next Franco-British move. | A special session of the Senate was | called for December 9.

WITH EMPEROR HAILE SELAS- SIE AT DESSYE (Via Addis Ababa), December 2.—Emperor Haile Selassie settled down to a military routine to- day after a trip from Addis Ababa during which he was welcomed by thousands of natives who flocked into the villages through which he passed. Thousands gathered in the sun- scorched square, where picturesquely- clad chieftains prostrated themselves before the red ceremonial tent in which the King of Kings sat on a red- upholstered throne. Natives brought gifts of cows, goats, chickens and even lions and leopards, some of the animals being slaughtered for a raw-meat banquet.

Indorsement of Oil Embargo Seen as Ministers Gather. (Copyright, 1935, by the Associated Press.) LONDON, December 2.—The British cabinet met today in a significant ses- sion toward enforcement of an oil embargo against Italy—a problem in- volving the question of European peace—over the protests of the warring | 1t was the first full meeting of the ministers since the general election returned the national government to power, with the necessity arising of taking final decisions within the next 10 days on the cutting off of Italy's oil supplies as the quickest way to end the Italo-Ethiopian warfare. ‘The ministers were expected to take advantage of the days remaining be- fore the December 12 meeting of the League of Nations Sanctions Commit- tee of 18 for full consideration of the problem, amid a general impression that Britain would take the lead in the action. United States’ Attitude Studied. Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin's government confronted several con- siderations: 1. Would the United States join in closing its market to Italy should the League states institute the oil em- bargo? 2. Would the Italian government consider a stoppage of oil—essential for its military operations in East Africa—a form of blockade, leading to more serious complications in the already tense Anglo-Italian relations? 3. What effect would oil sanctions have on the joint Anglo-French efforts to work out a solution of the Italo- Ethiopian crisis?

A general impression prevailed, nevertheless, that the cabinet would decide formally to take the lead at the December 12 session of the League | of Nations’ Sanctions Committee of 18 at Geneva to reinforce present penalties on Italy for its Ethiopian | war with imposition of the oil ban. Some slight hope remained that Premier Mussolini might yet yield to the increased pressure for peace nego- tiations. France’s Premier Laval, recognizing | both Britain’s determination to force | | the oil embargo and the exasperation | aroused at Rome, persisted in his ef- forts to have Il Duce make a concil- iatory gesture. Laval, for the time being, apparently was ignoring the reports of transfer of Italian troops from the Brenner Pass, on the Italo-Austrian border, to the Italo-French frontier. Mussolini, however, was believed by the British to be determined to main- tain his own course of conquest in Ethiopia and stubborn resistance to League of Nations sanctions.
