to debate the question of
including such embargo
penalties as are already as
sessed.
Authoritative sources to
day said that the question
of cutting off oil shipments
to Italy overshadowed all
other developments, pre
senting a new crisis for col

embargo would mean the
slow strangulation of the
nation. He added that the
longer Italy awaited the at
