SURVEY of CURRENT BUSINESS July 1935 JULY 1935 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE BUREAU OF FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC COMMERCE WASHINGTON VOLUME 15 NUMBER 7 The usual SEMIANNUAL j^BVISION of material has been made in this issue. A list of the series added and the series dropped is given below. A cumulative table of all the new series added since the publication of the 1932 Annual Supplement through the month of May 1935 was shown on the inside front covers of the March and May 1935 issues; so this list com- pletes the tabulation through this issue. ((The changes made were held to a minimum in view of space limitations. The publication of the Annual Supplement early in 1936 will permit the elimination of most of the footnotes in the monthly issues and allow some expansion in the data carried. ({The pages indicated for the new series refer to this issue, except where noted, while the pages given for the discontinued series refer to the June 1935 issue.

  • 1935 Sanctions Against Italy: Would Coal and Crude Oil Have Made a Difference?
    1935 SANCTIONS AGAINST ITALY: WOULD COAL AND CRUDE OIL HAVE MADE 1 A DIFFERENCE? CRISTIANO ANDREA RISTUCCIA LINACRE COLLEGE OXFORD OX1 3JA GREAT BRITAIN Telephone 44 1865 721981 [email protected] 1 Thanks to (in alphabetical order): Dr. Leonardo Becchetti, Sergio Cardarelli (and staff of the ASBI), Criana Connal, John Fawcett, Prof. Charles Feinstein, Dr. James Foreman-Peck, Paola Geretto (and staff of the ISTAT library and archive), Gwyneira Isaac, Clare Pettitt, Prof. Maria Teresa Salvemini, Prof. Giuseppe Tattara, Leigh Shaw-Taylor, Prof. Gianni Toniolo, Dr. Marco Trombetta, and two anonymous referees who made useful comments on a previous version of this paper. The responsibility for the contents of the article is, of course, mine alone. ABSTRACT This article assesses the hypothesis that in 1935 - 1936 the implementation of sanctions on the export of coal and oil products to Italy by the League of Nations would have forced Italy to abandon her imperialistic war against Ethiopia. In particular, the article focuses on the claim that Britain and France, the League’s leaders, could have halted the Italian invasion of Ethiopia by means of coal and oil sanctions, and without the help of the United States, or recourse to stronger means such as a military blockade. An analysis of the data on coal consumption in the industrial census of 1937 - 1938 shows that the Italian industry would have survived a League embargo on coal, provided that Germany continued her supply to Italy. The counterfactual proves that the effect of an oil embargo was entirely dependent on the attitude of the United States towards the League’s action.
