NO WEAKENING OF SANCTIONS
BRITISH STAND MADE CLEAR
FOREIGN SECRETARY STATES POLICY
STEADY RESISTANCE TO
AGGRESSION
London, Feb. 24.
"There can be no weakness nor wavering until peace is signed," declared Mr. Anthony Eden, the British Foreign Secretary, speaking in the Foreign Affairs debate in the House of Commons to-day, and re-stating Britain's foreign policy and her determination to support sanctions and not to forsake the collective security system.
The House of Commons was crowded in anticipation of the address of Mr. Eden and the foreign affairs debate. The Labourite, Mr. Hastings Lees-Smith, former Minister in the MacDonald Government, opened the debate, complaining that the Government's attitude towards sanctions was luke-warm, and urging the Government to try to promote an immediate oil embargo against Italy.
Mr. Lees-Smith called upon the Government to cease helping the aggressor nution by supplying it with cotion, water, animals, et cetera.
Mr. Eden replied. He declared that within ten days of the declaration of war upon Ethiopia, Italy had been branded an aggressor and the League had proposed sanctions against her. He suggested the League of Nations' record was remarkable for its rapidity rather than for its 'dilatoriness. Referring to the contention
that
the League's sanclions were proving ineffective,
remarked, Mr. Eden
"That is not our information."
He added that it was clear from Italy's efforts to collect gold that the significance of sanctions was fully recognised in Italy.
MUST HAVE EFFECT
TC-
The effect of the existing sanctions was continuous, and cumulative, said Mr. Eden, and must ultimately have an important influenco in achieving the cessation of hostilities. He called that while the Persian Oil ex- ports to Italy had declined from thir- teen to four per cent., United States oll experts had risen from six to nearly eighteen per cent. The Gov- ernment had not yet completed its examination of the League's report on the oil embargo proposals, but it. would shortly be discussed at Geneva. In the judgment of the British Gov- ernment, the sooner the report were discussed and a decision reached, the better.

SANCTIONS RUIN NAVAL ACCORD
ITALY WILL SIGN CONDITIONALLY
VISCOUNT MONSELL AS PEACE-MAKER
London, Feb. 24.
The situation at the Naval Conference, where Britain, the United States, France and Italy are attempting to create a draft treaty acceptable to all concerned, remains unimproved to-day,
Special efforts to find a way out of the deadlock were made when Admiral Count Giusseppe Raineri-Biscia of Italy con- ferred with Viscount Monsell, First Lord of the Admiralty, and conveyed to the British naval spokesman his latest instructions from Rome.
Both sides are reticent in discussing their conversations, but do not deny that the question of sanctions was raised by the Italian spokesman.
It is deduced that Italy has reaffirmed her intention of making final signature of the naval treaty conditional upon a satisfactory settlement of political issues.

London, Feb. 24.. The Chinese Ambassador to Court of St. James to-day announces the following offer concerning the resumption of service on bonds of the Tientsin-Pukow Railway, in respect to the loans made by Great Britain in 1008-10.
He suggests that interest should be pald at the rate of two and a hair per cent per annum from 1836 to 1938, inclusive, and five per cent. per annum thereafter. The principal of the loans would be repaid begin- ning in 1940, the amount of the annual instalmenta to depend upon the Kroza cash earnings.

However, the United States is most unwilling to allow political issues to interfere with or affect the signing of the treaty in any way. America has no intention of becoming a party to a treaty which might
involve sort of entanglement in European diplomacy. Mr. Norman Davis, head of the American delegation, saw Vis- count Monsell after the British leader:
