Com- mitments Binding Canada To Adopt Military Sanctions.- OTTAWA, Oct. Zil-Immediute steps will be taken by the Canadian government to secure “the effective appli- against Italy,” proposed by of the League of Nations, Immediate Action With respect to the export of arms and munitions to Italy, and the issue oi loans or credits to. Italy. action will’ be taken at once by the Dominion Government in council, the Prime Minister said. The matter of imports from Italy and prohibition of export of key products useful in military oper- ations, will remain for later action in unison with other member countries. In a prepared statement cover- ing this action the Prime Minister said his government "has no doubt it expresses the overwhelming conviction of the people of Canada in declaring its continued and firm adherence to the fundament- al aims and ideals of the League of Nations, and its intention to make participation in me League the cornerstone of its foreign pol- icy in the genera-l field." The government's course in ap- proving economto sanctions in the present instance was not. to be taken, the statement set forth, as necess rily establishing s. preced- ent for future action." Five proposals were, made to the Canadian government by the co- ordinating committee of the League of Nations. They were as follows: - 1. Prohibition of export of arms and munitions to Italy. 2. Prohibition of loans and credits to Italy. _ 3. Prohibition of all imports from Italy. ,. 4. Prohibition of export to Italy oi certain key products, useful for military operations. 5. Provision for mutual com- mercial support in contingencies arising out of the application of economic sanctions. With reference to he's. one and two oi these proposals the govern- ment has agreed to take immedi- ate action to comply with them. With reference to the third, the rcply was that "the Canadian gov- ernment will be prepared to Join in the prohibition of imports from Itnly._ Measures are under consid- oration for effective restriction of imports and if further legislation is found necessary to make em- bargo complete, proposals will be submitted to Parliament." Replying to the fourth proposal the governnisnt stated it would be "prcpllred to join in prohibiting tlie export to Italy of commodities listed in the proposal," and that “prohibition could be put into ef- fect at an agreed early date in November.“ The so-ealled key-pro- ducts referred to include iron, nickel, aluminum. chromium, man- ganese, tungsten, vanadium and tin either in ore. bar or scrap iron form, rubber and transport sni- mole The fifth proposal did not re- quire any comment. the Prime Minister said, nor any definite government action at this time, being ancillary to the general pro- operate possl.
