when the council of the league of nations met in london, the only delegate in favour of sanctions against germany was maxim litvinov, the representative of the soviet union. though germany was no longer a member of the league, ribbentrop was allowed to give a speech before the league assembly on 19 march where he tried to justify germany's actions as something imposed on the "reich" by the franco-soviet pact, and warned that there would be serious economic consequences for those states who voted to impose sanctions on germany. by 1936, a number of eastern european, scandinavian and latin american countries whose economies were hard-pressed by the great depression had become very dependent upon trade with germany to keep their economies afloat, which meant for economic reasons alone none of those states wished to offend germany. president federico páez of ecuador gave a speech in which he declared the idea of sanctions against the "reich" to be "nonsensical". at the time, the british foreign office estimated that britain, france, romania, belgium, czechoslovakia and the soviet union were the only nations in the entire world willing to impose sanctions on germany. the swedish, danish, norwegian, polish, dutch, greek, swiss, turkish, chilean, estonian, portuguese, spanish, and finnish ambassadors to the league all let it be known that they regarded sanctions on germany as "economic suicide" for their countries. mussolini, who was still angry with the league sanctions applied against italy, made a speech in which he made it clear that he definitely would not be joining any sanctions against germany for remilitarizing the rhineland. in the fall of 1935, britain had been able to have the league impose limited sanctions on italy, but by the later winter of 1936, the idea of imposing sweeping sanctions on germany—whose economy was four times the size of italy's, making germany an "economic octopus" whose tentacles were everywhere around the world—was unthinkable for rest of the world. moreover, for the sanctions to work, the united states had to join in. in 1935, the american government had declared that as the u.s. was not a league member, it would not abide by the league sanctions on italy, which was hardly a hopeful precedent for the idea that u.s. would join in with imposing sanctions on germany. argentina declared that it would vote for sanctions against germany only if the united states promised to join in. the council declared, though not unanimously, that the remilitarization constituted a breach of the treaties of versailles and locarno. hitler was invited to plan a new scheme for european security, and he responded by claiming he had "no territorial claims in europe" and wanted a 25-year pact of non-aggression with britain and france. however, when the british government inquired further into this proposed pact, they did not receive a reply.
