The Secretary of State to the Minister Resident in Ethiopia (Engert)
136. Consul at Geneva in his 105, April 9, 5 p.m.11 reports in part as follows:
“The British here are taking the position that if conciliation does not show immediate satisfactory results they will press for increased [Page 119] sanctions which would be signalized by the convening of the Committee of Eighteen.”
He adds that it appears unlikely that sanction can be extended through auspices of League. It likewise appears that British have not determined upon policy in event of failure of conciliation.
