Oil Sanction Report of Experts From Geneva
London reports the Geneva Committee of Experts issued a finding on oil sanctions against Italy. Embargo effectiveness would require three months or more, and only full success if the United States halts exports to pre-1934 levels. Without US cooperation, League-imposed limits would raise petrol costs for Italy. The committee suggests expanding embargo to alcohol and benzin, and favors prohibiting tanker use and sales to Italy to enforce embargo.
