BRITISH DAVIS CUP PAIR WIN

BUT MUST IMPROVE

London, To-day.

Christian Boussus and Marcel Bernard, the French Davis Cup pair, proved no match for the Australian Davis Cup players Jack Crawford and Adrian Quist holders of the French title, in the quarter finals of the All-England Men's Doubles Championship at Wimbledon yester day, being defeated in straight sets.

Bernard gave a listless and indifferent display, but Bous- sus was a trier throughout. The Frenchmen, however, did not have the shots to cope with the intensive net play of the Aus- tralians, who forced the pace and always held the upper hand.

Donald Budge, one of America's coming champions, and Gene Mako, who may represent America in the Davis Cup dochles match. against. Germany, gave one of the most spectac- ular displays ever seen at the Wimbledon championships during the last decade when they beat Enrique Maier, Spain's first ranking player, and Sydney B. Wood, the 1931 singles cham- pion in a five-set battle.

All four players were brilliant individually, but Budge and Mako shone as a pair. They led 7-6 in the third set when Mako, who had hitherto been deadly at the net, began sending all his returns into the net and the Americans dropped that and the fourth set. Recovering perfectly in the final set, they

won for the loss of three games.

shifted to Paris, where Britain is making soundings on the basis of the British collective obligations as a member of the League.

The British policy seems to be not to shirk obligations. but Britain cannot be expected to bear the whole burden of action alone if other countries decline to take their share,

There is no reason to believe that Britain will take the initiative for the imposition of economic sanctions. She is bending her energies to prevent an outbreak of hostilities, gov erned by the condition that she cannot be expected to under-

take alone any risk likely to arise in the process. No action will be taken without consultation with the Dominions

One question being carefully considered is the possible effect of hostilities in Abyssinia on other parts of Africa, where the natives are closely watching the progress of the dispate.
