BRITAIN WILL NOT ACT ALONE

QUESTION OF SANCTIONS BEING CONSIDERED

There has been an outery in the House of Commons against the offer of the British Government of British territory in Africa in order to smooth the way to a settlement of the Italo-Abyssinian dispute. The Government is being attacked on many points, chief of which is probably that the wishes of the Somali tribes themselves were not sought before the proposal for their change of sovereignty was made.

From Dispute

The British policy seems to be that obligations France To ing hard for peace she cannont be expected to shoulder Hold Aloof the whole responsibility of action if other nations de- eline to bear their share.

There is no

reason to believe that Britain will initiate economic sanctions against Italy, and in any event, it is stated authoritatively, England will not act without first consulting the Dominions.

Meanwhile, the scene of interest has shifted to Paris, and the French attitude is under close scrutiny.

(Special to "Telegraph")

Paris, July 4.

The French Government is pay- ing the keenest attention to tho Italo-Abyssinian dispute, and its desire to prevent war is no less keen than that of Great Britain. It is understood the French policy is to fight shy of League of Nations netion, owing to the! Italian sensitiveness. France willj endeavour to find some solution through direct negotiation. But. above all, it is realised that the sands of time are running out, and that action of some sort must be taken as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, at the Hague it is understood that at the request of the Italian

representatives, ten tribesmen who witnessed the fighting at Uatual will be brought by air to an airport in Southern NANCIERONEZUELASTINCTION

KEEN BATTLE IN MEN'S DOUBLES

AMERICANS DO WELL AT WIMBLEDON

ENGLAND, AUSTRALIA PAIRS SURVIVE

London, July 4.

The games on to-day's programme at Wimbledon, following the excitement of the men's and women's singles, although of a high standard, were nevertheless something of an anti-climax.

The most interesting matches were in the men's semi-finals, where the Australian pair, Crawford and Quist, strongly favoured for the title in some quarters, eliminated a listless French team, Boussus and Bernard. Budge and Mako, the highly-ranked American pair, disposed of Maier and Wood, and Allison and Van Ryn, another powerful American combination, advanced at the expense of the South Africans, Bertram and Musgrove.

Hughes and Tuckey, who have been selected as two of the English Davis Cup team, defeated Andrews and Rogers handily in their meeting. The New Zealand- Ireland combination was never threatening.

INFLATION. FEARS IN . AMERICA

Thus the competition in the men's doubles narrows down to these four teams, America with a double-entry opportunity: Craw- ford and Quist, Australia; Budge and Mako, and Allison and Van Ryn, U.S.A.; Hughes and Tuckey, England.
