British Insist League Hold To Sanctions London Likely to Refuse to Recognize Italy's Gains in Africa Hint Fascism Split Reports from Rome of Added Discontent and Serious Divisions in Party By a Staff Correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor LONDON, April 22--Relief that at any rate the existing sanctions will be maintained greeted British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden on his return from the council meeting at Geneva yesterday. Despite the disillusionment and disappointment which are universal here as elsewhere, at the League's failure to halt Premier Benito Mussolini's aggression, there appears not to be the slightest intention in Government circles to recognize any "fait accompli" with which Italy may confront the world in Ethiopia. Just as the nations still refuse to recognize the separation of Manchuria from China, so if the British Government gets its way they will refuse to recognize Italyaily solveignty over Ethiopia. Indeed Britain is anxious that sanctions should continue till the Italians give way, however distant such a prospect may seem today. Britain Threatens to Resign Mr. Eden made it clear in his speech at Geneva yesterday that if the League went back on the sanctions policy, Britain would have to consider resigning from the membership. This, it is believed, is an eventuality which European states are not at present ready to face, despite the uncertainty whether Britain would do more than again apply milk and water sanctions in the event of military aggression in any part of Europe other than the Rhineland. Though the outlood is black, aspecially for the unfortunate Ethiopians, most of the commentatorys agree with Salvador de Madariaga, chairman of the Committee of Thirteen, that if the League were prepared to apply its own principles Italy would even now be forced to withdraw.
