U.. STAND WORRY N DL SHNETONS League Committee <Con- cerned as Hoare Points Out Vast Possibilities. By the Associated Press. America stood last night as a principal unknown quantity in the projected move by the League of Nations Sanctions Committee to invoke an oil embargo against Italy. Almost on the eve of the December 12 meeting of the committee to vote on the proposal, the question of what the United States Government may do if it is adopted was a matter of prime concern to the nations sponsoring it as well as to Italy. A statement by Sir Samuel Hoare, the British foreign secretary, that the effectiveness of any oil sanctions depends on the attitude of states not members of the League put into words the apprehensions felt for some time in League circles over the possible success of the plan. One of Greatest Producers. ‘The United States, not a member of the League, is one of the world's greatest oil producers. Thus far, its formally expressed policy has been not to interfere with a normal peace- time flow of commodities other than munitions to either belligerent in the Italo-Ethiopian war. It generally is conceded that even| if this much oil were allowed to go to Italy from America, any embargo which the other principal nations of the world might apply would be seri- ously hampered. Thus far, there has been no sign of any immediate change in the American policy, which at the same time is designed to discourage ship- ments of all essential “war materials” in abnormal quantities to both Italy and Ethiopia. ‘When official comment was sought on Sir Samuel Hoare's observation, officials here pointed to the written American determination to maintain a| rigidly separate and independent| neutrality. regardless of what other nations may do. | Neutrality Law Lacking.

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. OT even the specter of the Jepanese black dragon swal- lowing the Chinese yellow dragon so adroitly and timely brought before Mussolini can induce 11 Duce to accept the present terms of peace offered him by the French and British. The Italian dictator, like the former German Emperor, has been shouting “yellow peril” ever since the Japanese began_gobbling up Manchuria in 1931, He was quite willing then to play the role of St. George, but was told at Geneva and in Paris “shut up, this is none of your business.” * k% % Now, when 8ir Samuel Hoare adjures Mussolini to stop the Ethiopian cam- paign, take whatever is offered him and wait for a better chance in the future because the Western powers are menaced by the ever-growing power of the.Japanese, Mussolini shrugs his shoulders and says, “So what?” There are innumerable pacts, trea- ties and agreements, bilateral and multilateral, guaranteeing China’s ter- ritorial integrity—and the privileged interests of the other powers. They all have the same value—zero. The Japanese are practical peo- - ple. They know that the. British fleet in concentrated in the Medi- terranian and is unlikely to leave hose waters as long as the British believe that their line of communications is threatened by the Italians. They know that the United States Navy is on the Pacific Coast 7,000 miles away from China and won't sail to give battle to the Japanese because the blatk dragon has decided to make the Chinese mainland its home. Thus, when Sir Samuel threatens and Secretary Hull ‘“warns” the and naval clique shrugs its shoulders, too, and says, “So what?"” % kins Mussolini is, of course, particularly interested in what is going on in the Far East, where the Japanese are by way of annexing another portion of China about four times the size of Italyy, with a population more than twice as large as that country. This is good propaganda for Il Duce. All his newspapers ask, together with the Italian people: “Is the League of Nations going to apply the same treat- ment to Japan as is being applied to Italy? slow at taking action to prevent the carving up of China? Why don’t the British apply the old saying, what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander”? * x o Of course, technically, there is not the same situation. The Chinese gov- ernment has not applied to the League of Nations for application of article 11 or 16. But, with a little encourage- ment, with a few whispered words from the British representative at Nanking, the government of the Chinese Republic would not hesitate to ask the League's intervention. It is also true that the Japanese disclaim they have anything to do with the new autonomist move in Northern China. It's “spontaneous,” they say. If the powers were to ask Japan, however, what the Japanese | troops were doing in North China and whether their presence did not indi- cate clearly that the move of the Japanese-subsidized Chinese generals is not as spontaneous as all that, it may be that even the Tokio govern- ment might have some difficulties in answering.

At the green table in St. James' Palace delegates of France, Great Britain, the United States, Japan and Italy sit nexi to each other to discuss in a “friendly manner” the naval problems of the world, while the army and navy staffs in their own countries are studying more carefully than ever the more important problem of how to defeat each other. Great Britain plans to build within the next seven years £00,000 tons of new warships costing no less than $1,000,000,000. France has appropriated for this year, on and above the regular naval erpenditure, $12,000,000 for the new 35,000-ton battleship which must be ready as soon as possible— probably within the next two years.

FRANCO-BELGIAN FRIENDSHIP COOLS Economic Affairs Reaching Critical Stage—Labor Chief Problem. PARIS (#). — The statesmen’s speeches are still warm on both sides, but French and Belgian friendship appears to be cooling. So difficult have economic affairs become between the two countries that French opinion is becoming alarmed. The PFrench point out the two nations cannot long exist in friendly alliance by living on war memories alone and that serious ef- fort must be made to smooth their differences. France’s high tariffs on Belgian products and her rigorous repatriation of thousands of Belgian workmen be- cause of the depression are among the principal causes admitted by French observers for the cooling of Belgium’s friendship. campaign to close the gap between the two nations when he went to Brus- sels for a conference with Premier van Zeeland. They envisaged an in- crease in the French import quotas for Belgian products, but nothing has yet been done. The problem of Belgian workmen in France has made much of the trouble. For centuries Belgians have crossed the frontier into Prance to work in the northern flelds and, of late, its factories. Many French industries were established close to the border solely to benefit by the cheaper labor which the Belgians brought, as well as specialized experts in many lines. Belgians were also considered easier to handle than the French workmen grouped into labor unions. When the depression first was felt in France, the government adopted a policy of shutting out all foreigners to insure work to nationals. The frontier was almost closed, with Bel- gium and her workers forbidden to cross. In other cases, Belgians who had been living in France for 20 or 30 years 4nd whose children and grandchildren were French citizens, were sent protesting back into Bel- glum. Many Frenchmen blame the Bel- gians for their difficulties, claiming that the kingdom should have ac- cepted the customs union which Prance offered her during the World War, but that the Belgian fear of | | becoming “vassals” of France ruined | the plan. 4% NOW Being PAID On Savings Federal Savings and Loan Insurance se- cures your savings up to $5,000 here— Columbia is the only association in Washington to offer this protection.

BALTIMORE, December 7. — Betty May Satti believes in Santa Claus with all the faith of her three years. She slept through the might unaware that, this Christmas, there may be neither Santa Claus nor toys. Police arrested her 23-year-old father, Alfred J. Satti, yesterday afternoon. By 6 p.m. he was dead. He was found in the police station cell—No. 13—his own belt looped around his throat, a suicide. His 19- year-old wife, Mrs. Emma Satti, who had come to visit him, discovered the body. Clenched in his fist was a photograph of Betty May. Satti, weighing but 113 pounds and frail, experienced difficulty in obtain- ing jobs, Mrs. Satti said. His lack of education rendered him unfit for anything but labor by day. Twice fore- men of relief projects sent him home as too weak to work with a pick and shovel. Late last Fall the gas and elec- tricity in the Satti home were cut off—because Satti couldn't pay his bills. Relief checks were intermit- tent. They could buy no coal.
