The French claim for sanctions against Germany is encountering diflfculty. Dino Grandi, the It- alian ambassador, takes a gloomy view of the outlook. l-le told the conference, it is reporiedythat the situation in Eur was the grav-

est since the r. due entire] to "aribtrary, iniquitous" sane ions imposed on Ital)‘ at Geneva.‘ Bo .th¢5e,s811 . amused no could be ted from Italy but an attitude of watchful waiting.

The British deny ‘wrv have

either made any new q. mch to Chancellor Hitler, or l. ed any new offer. Their position in regard to sanctions is complicated alike by the fact that the Dommions are not parties to the Locarno pact and by strong public opinion against anything savoring oi war me ures.

e l-iigh Commissioners of the Dominions were invited to White- hall this afternoon for consult- ation. "So far as matters may be Judged from outward appearances it seems unlikely any Dominion would be ready voluntarily to ss- sume the Iocarno obligations. Their influence would rather be thrown behind Great Britain in her efforts to secure a reasonable settlement and create an sndurini’ peace structure. .

The Belgians were understood during the day to have submitted a three-point plan stating:

(l) That articles t2 and 48 of the Treaty of Versailles had been violated; ‘

(l) That the Treaty of Iocarno. notwithstanding the German rc- puclistion, was still binding on the other signatories;

(3) That s. subcommittee should be appointed to consider further action.

French circles stress tonight they do not contemplate any war- like measure of any FM-

on the fringe hangs the Eth- iopian war. Italy definitely linked sanctions against nor with suy proposal to apply sanctions ag- ainst Germany. Meantime the famous oil embargo has again dis- appeared from the lntermi-imsl scone.
