BRITAIN TO LIFT ARMS EXPORT EMBARGO ?

STRONG ANSWER

FOR ITALY

ROME GIVES GRUFF "NO" TO EDEN

KILLS LAST HOPE FOR PARIS NEGOTIATIONS

(SPECIAL TO “TELEGRAPH")

(By Telegraph. Copyright. Telegraphic Mennages Ordinance, ISD4. Received, Ang, 19, 1 pan.)

London, Aug. 18. Diplomats here declare that Britain's retort to Italy's smashing of the tri-party conference in Paris will be the lifting of the arms export embargo against Abyssinia.

It is further reported that the, Cabinet may be sùm- moned during the coming week, since officials regard the Paris break-down with undisguised gravity.

The gruff "no", telephoned by Signor Mussolini from Rome has shattered the hope of success at the three-power negotiations to prevent an Italo-Ethiopian war, without a doubt. A communique issued at 6.20 p.m. announced that the conference had adjourned.

"Difficulties encountered in examination of sugges- tions put forward during the course of discussions, necessitated adjournment of the study undertaken, which will be carried out through diplomatic channels," | the communique says. Baron Alolai,conveyed to Mr. Anthony Eden and M. Pierre Laval, the British and French delegates, Mussolini's refusal of the jointly Franco-British cum- approved

promise formula.

HARD FEELING

The conference ended in bitter. ness due to the Italo-British dia- pute over letters exchanged in 1925 between Rome and London regarding "a secret agreement for the political division of Ethiopła," which Mussolini asserted justilled his plans for a military conquest. The British, on the other hand. contend the documents never took practical effect.

Jigiga, Aug. 18.

Reuter's Special Correspondent in Abyssinia has just completed a survey of conditions in the capital, Addis Ababa, and in those areas where preparations for the conflict which is feared to be approaching are proceeding.

Describing a sixty mile journey by motor from Diredawa to Jigiga, this correspondent declares that the roads are execrable. This, he continues, is the route over which large quantities of arms are said to be passing daily, shipped from Berbera into Ethiopia. Certainly small quantities of ammunition have been arriving and more may be imported from this direction, but it would be a physical impossibility to transport a big gun or any heavy war materials over this track, he writes.

J

The route by which Abyssinia can obtain arms is by way of Djibouti, and from there by the Franco- Ethiopian Railway Company.
