OMINOUS WARNING DELIVERED DURING LEAGUE SESSION

MIGHT ACT OUTSIDE GENEVA COVENANT

EDEN CONDEMNS ITALIAN POISON GAS WARFARE

(SPECIAL TO “TELEGRAPH"}

Geneva, Apr. 20.

The British Foreign Secretary, Mr. Anthony Eden, ominously, if indirectly, warned the ague of Nations that if it fails to settle the Italo-Ethom dispute his Government may be forced to act independently against Italy.

Mr. Eden said His Majesty's Goignment was willing to consider new economic and financial sanctions.

The failure to solve the Italo-Ethiopian problem shakes the League's foundations, Mr. Eden warned, and each member-state "would have to consider the policy which, in that situation, it would be our duty to pursue.' This is construed as Great Britain's first official indication of the possibility of anti-Italian action outside; the League Covenant.-United Press.
