WELCOME EMBARGO
·U.S. ACTION WELL RECEIVED
BRITAIN'S REACTION
London, Oet, 7,
The news of the proclamation of an arma embargo by President Roosevelt last night is welcomed In London,
Attention is given particularly to the President's statement that in the specific circumstances of the Italo-Ethiopian dispute he desires it to be understood that any United States citizens "Who voluntarily engage in transactions of any character with either of the belligerents do so at their own rlak," and satisfaction is expressed at the President's attitude, which is regarded as Indicating that any action decided, upon by the the League of Governments in Nations, in their efforts to restore peace, will not be impeded by the fact that United States is outsida the League.
The decision of the United Staten Government is the more appreciated in London as coming entirely from its own initiative- us the American Secretary of State, Mr. Cordell Hull, (m. phasised anew in Washington to day-although no doubt facilitated by the full and candid informa tion on the development of the situation, which the British Gov- regularly made ernment has available to the State Department. -British Wireless..

SEVERE TERMS
(Spacial to "Telegraphs")
Geneva, Oct. 7.
The League Council has voted to apply sanctions against Italy. Italy voted "No," but inasmuch as the vote of any interested party does not count, the Council vote is technically unanimous.
The Connell motion, expressed in severe terms, reads that "Italy has resorted to war in disregard of its convenant ander Article XII, which provides for submis sion of the dispute to arbitration and no resort to war within three months after the Council's deci slon has been returned.
