OIL EMBARGO PROBABLE IF WAR NOT HALTED
(SPECIAL TO “TELEGRAPH”)
Geneva, March 3.
The Committee of Thirteen, convoked by the senior Committee of Eighteen yesterday for session to-day has adopted a resolution asking Italy and Ethiopia to make a peace agreement within the framework of the League of Nations Covenant.

The Committee then voted to reconvene on March
The Italians thus have one week to consider the appeal. If Italy rejects the League's suggestion, the Committee of Eigh- teen is expected to place a prompt ambargo upon oil to Italy.
Although this appeal seems a last alternative to an oll embargo, it avoids all appearances of being an ultimatum by not fixing a time-limit or demanding that Italy cease hostilities before negotiations are started.-United Press.
Flandin's Appeal
Genova, March 3. Many texts of a peace proposal were drafted and scrapped before the one proposed by M. Pierre Flandin, the French Foreign Minister, at the meet. ing of the Committee of Thirteen, was finally adopted in principle, to-day
Moving the resolution, M. Flandin declared that the French Government was chiefly concerned with the well. being of the League of Nations, and that the best means of securing that was in the achievement of peace, Santtions and counter-sanctions would only aggravate the disorder of the world, he thought.
