France Will Take Stand
That War on Ethiopia Is

Paris, Aug. 28—(AP) —The French
cabinet today empowered Premier
Laval to oppose imposition of sanc
tions by the League of Nations a
gainst Italy in its conflict with Ethi
opia.
In a four-hour session the cabinet
heard Laval’s plan to induce the Lea
gue Council to regard an Italian war
against Ethiopia as a “colonial” ex.
pedition.
The premier, it was learned from
a responsible source, has been given
a virtually free hand to negotiate in
the settlement at Geneva. The minis
ters were reported agreed that it was
imperative for France to retain the
friendship o" both Italy and Great
Britain, but tha it was important to
save the League from a loss of pres
tige by attempting a program which
French authorities said they believed
was impossible.
The premier, it was understood, told
the cabinet that England was less de
termined to act drastically and real
izes the danger of the Italian stand
that “sanctions mean war.”
Hope for a solution, Laval was said
to have told the ministers, was
brightened by II Duce’s agreement to
present the case at Geneva, indicat
ing a desire avoid a break with the
League or the big powers.
