LONDON AND PARIS IN FULL ACCORD

London, Dec. 2.

The British policy favours a collective oil embargo against Italy, it is learned, and the Cabinet reviewed the position at its meeting to-day and fully endorsed the scheme.

It is understood that M. Pierre Laval's peace efforts were also discussed, and the Government is perfectly prepared to consider any proposals Signor Benito Mussolini, 'the Italian dictator, may advance which have any prospect of acceptance or bringing a settlement through the League of Nations.

CABINET SESSION

London, Dec. 2.

The British Cabinet met to-day and it is understood that Sir Samuel Hoare, the Foreign Minister, and Mr. Anthony Eden, the Minister for League of Nations Affairs, urged the imposition of an oil embargo against Italy on the ground that it would hasten Signor Mussolini's submission to acceptable. pence terms.

It is surmised that the Cabinet discussed Italy's latest peace terms, including the plan to cede a large strip of ter ritory to link Eritrea and Italian Somaliland, via Aussa, Harrar and Ogaden, the Italian annexation of north-western Ethiopia. The Cabinet is believed to be will- ing to allow Ethiopia to cede territory bordering on Kenya Colony but is op. posed to the ceding of Ralls, in the north-west, which borders 041 the Sudan.

It is understood that the British and French Governments have agreed that if Mussolini fails to come to terms oil sunetians must be imposed as soon as possible-United Press,

BRITAIN'S STAND WEAKENING

VULNERABILITY FIRST CONSIDERATION

London, Dec. 2.

While official information is not available, there is reason to believe the rumours to the effect that Great Britain is weakening in her demand for a twenty-six thousand ton battle- ship at the forthcoming Naval Conference, due to commence December 4. The rumour has a basis in fact, it is stated.

It is understood that the British case for a smaller battle- ship has rested, up to the present, upon two main grounds: firstly, the desire for economy; secondly, the desire to meet the Japanese demand for drastic limitation of the sizes of capital ships.

. It is understood, however, that a third consideration now weighs largely in the calculations of the British experts. Al- though official circles maintain their very rebicent attitude, it is suggested that 26,000-ton battleships cannot be made secure from aerial attack. That if proved true, would completely. upset the argument for the smaller battleship, it is believed.
