The Ambassador in Italy (Child) to the Acting Secretary of State

169. Department’s 122, August 15, 5 p.m. Note received today from Foreign Office states that in view of its declaration to suspend deliveries of Italian arms in China, etc. (see my 110, July 12, 1 p.m.), and also in view of recent proposal which British Government has addressed to Allies and Associates to review, in an international conference at Peking, the embargo of 1919 to the end that the clauses be rendered more complete and efficacious, Italian Government no longer thinks it necessary to give formal adhesion to resolution that, based on same argument and for same object, was proposed at Conference of Washington.
