DMATOREAK
But He Is Indifferent to
Moral Sanctions; Ger
many May Help Him
#
By CHARLES P. STEWART
Washington, Oct. 14.—T0 sanction a
thing, as we ordinarily employ the
term today, means to ratify, confirm,
approve or formally permit.
In medieval days, however, to sanc
tion meant to punish.
League of Nations diplamts use the
word in its old sense.
Hence all these references to the
imposition of “sanctions” upon Italy
A “sanction,” in the league nomen.
clature, signifies a “penalty.”
WHAT SANCTIONS MEAN
Premier Mussolini evidently is in
diffent to what the league calls
“moral or diplomatic sanctions” —to
moral sanctions, anyway. Moral sanc
tions amount only to reprobating
Italy’s conduct. “Let ’em reprobate
and be ,” is 11 Duce’s attitude. To
have the league powers break diplo
matic relations with them would be
more inconvenient for the Italians;
a country's trade depends largely up
on its amicable international rela
tionships.
Financial and economic sanctions?
No loans! No credit for supplies of
any sort! Perhaps the exclusion of
Italian ships and goods from league
ports and embargoes against ship
ments to Italy! !
An air-tight international boycott?
No mail and no telegrams delievered
to or accepted from Italy! Citizens
of the league countries not even al
lowed to associate personally with
Italians!
AID FROM GERMANY?
Maybe Italy will be mighty hard to
cut off from the outside world.

Addis Ababa, Oct. 14.—(AP)—
Heavy fighting on the Ogaden
front, particularly around Walwal,
was reported todays A strong con
centration of Italian troops was
said to be trying to push through
the Ethiopian outposts, with
much hand to hand fighting.
(By The Associated Press.)
Aksum, the ancient sacred city of
Ethiopia, has fallen before the heavy
footed march of Premier Mussolini’s
troops.
Without firing a shot, Italy’s north
ern army, dedicated to the task of
establishing a new regime in northern
Ethiopia, yesterday won the city re
puted to have been once the capital of
the Queen of Sheba, when the dedia
bac, or governor, submitted to Gen.
eral Marabigana at Aduwa.
Aduwa, where Italy a week ago
Sunday avenged the massacre of 8,000
troops by the Ethiopian hordes in
1896, was annexed formally a few
hours later to the kingdom of Italy
as the center of all newly-captured
territory.
The capitulation of Aksum was
nificant from a military standpoint
It enabled the Fascist columns to es
tablish a line about 70 miles long on
the northern Ethiopian front from
Adigrat to the holy city byway of
Aduwa.
Reports from Addis Ababa describ
ed the march by 160,000 Ethiopian
warriors across southwestern Ogaden
province toward what may prove to
be the first major battle of the Italo-
Ethiopian war.
The League of Nations committee
of 18 on sanctions voted to impose a
fiancial blockade on Italy.
More drastic economic sanctions by
the League will be put off, however,

Without mentioning the Italo.Ethi

the barbarous institution of war and
that suspicion, mistrust and selfish
ambition will be forever banished.”
