However, it is indicated that Italy will strengthen her attitude of aloul- ness in the event of repeal of sane- tions accompanied by a dolaration that the abandonment was due to the inetfectiveness of the penalties.

Meanwhile it is denied that tho Government has promised to suppress counter-sanctions when penalties aro lifted. It is admitted, however, that abolition of sanctions will necessitate re-examination of commercial policy. -United Press.

LONDON, JUNE 18.

MR. ANTHONY EDEN, FOREIGN SECRETARY, TOLD THE HOUSE. OF COMMONS TO-NIGHT THAT ITALY HAD CONQUERED ETHIOPIA, AND BRITAIN DID NOT INTEND TO GO TO WAR IN THE MEDITERRANEAN IN ORDER TO CHANGE THE SITUA- TION.

The Foreign Secretary asserted that the Government favoured the lifting of sanctions, coupled with an effort to readjust the European situation.

"The Government is not prepared to take military action," he repeated. But he hinted that a new Mediterranean vact might arise out of the ashes of sanctions at the coming Geneva meeting.

:

"I have concluded there is no longer utility in continuing these measures as a means of anti-Italian pressure," he said.

In the Government's view, he added, the assurances, of mutual assistance Britain had given to various Mediterranean countries should not end with the raising of sanctions,

"It would be easy for us not to take the lead," he said-reverting-to-the-sanctions:issue,--"but I-am con vinced our lead will be welcomed in many quarters.",
