ON EVE OF LEAGUE MEETING

PRECAUTIONS AGAINST ITALIAN ATTACK

Paris, Jan. 7.

Both the First and Second Squadrons of the French Fleet will be cruising in the Mediterranean when the League of Na- tions Committee of Eighteen meets on January 20 to consider further sanctions to be taken against Italy. It is possible that the Committee may recommend the adoption of an oil embargo.

It will be recalled that the Italian Government has asserted that an oil embargo, which it is believed would paralyse Italy's war machine in Africa, would be treated as a hostile act and would be resisted with force..

The First Squadron of the French Fleet, it is announcel, will be manoeuvring off Provence and Corsica and the Second Squadron will be active off Barcelona,

These movements are considered to be the sequel of the repeated promises of the French Government to Great Britain to aid the British Mediterranean Fleet in the event of an Italian ⚫ attack.

Meanwhile, there are important meetings of the French naval strategists and high officers of the Second Squadron will go into conference at Brest to-day. There they will carry out on paper manoeuvres calculated to crush an enemy attack.

It is believed the naval officers will especially consider the tactics to be! dopted in the event of a surprisi attack by Italy bufire the Squadron- leaves for Barcelona on January 14.-1 Kruter.

U.S. FINANCE IN WORLD WAR

"WE COULD NOT BE IMPARTIAL"

J. P. MORGAN TESTIFIES IN SENATE INQUIRY

Washington, Jan. 7.

The noted American financier, Mr. J. P. Morgan, has been accused by Senators of making a stump speech" during his examination by the Senate Committee inquiring into financing of the supply of munitions for the World War.

Before testifying, Mr. Morgan made statements placing the assets of the firm which bears his name at $538,000,000 on December 31.

Mr. Morgan submitted a prepared statement in which he asserted that the United States entered the World War owing to German insults and injuries, rather than from a financial interest. He hated war, he said; but he was proud when the President had asked Congress to declare a state of war,

Replying as to whether the House of Morgan had ever violated President Wilson's pledge of neutrality, Mr. Morgan declared:

"We found we could not be impartial in such a situation.”. It was generally known in the United States that the British and French Governments had ordered in America $3,000,000,000 worth of war materials. The House of Morgan had received a commission of roughly one per cent. on these orders as agents.This involved no commitments on their part, although they helped. their clients to find the money when the question of obtaining credit arose.
